Naya stopped and glanced at Raegan arrogantly, “ Dan is just lying on the bed and resting. How are we disturbing by going in to look at him? You don’t want to let us inside because you want your daughter to be alone with Dan, right?”
Raegan knew that Naya only looked like a good woman, but in reality, she was extremely troublesome.
She looked at Naya indifferently, “Although Dan is lying there and is still unconscious, it doesn’t mean he can’t feel things. Ask yourself, who’s the person Dan wants to see the most?”
“What? Do you think my son must have your daughter with him? I don’t believe that my son won’t want to see his mother!” Daniel’s mother got angry, pushed open the door, and rushed in.
Ava, who was crying while eating the buns, immediately put down the buns when she heard the noise. She wiped away her tears.
Although Ava moved quickly, Naya still spotted her wiping away her tears.
Naya snickered and sneered.
“Only you and your mother would use despicable means just so you can have Dan all to yourself.” Ava sorted her emotions and glanced at Naya indifferently. She was not in the mood to argue with Naya. Plus, it was reasonable for Daniel’s mother to want to see Daniel, so Ava thought about going out first to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, just as Ava was about to turn around, she heard Naya’s disdainful rant from behind. “ Mrs. Graham, look. Dan isn’t waking up at all, unlike what the doctor said. The doctor only followed someone’s instructions and said that on purpose so that a certain someone can stay by Dan’s side alone.”
Daniel’s mother heard this and looked at Daniel’s haggard and pale face. She felt both uncomfortable and dissatisfied. Out of the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Ava standing at the door in a daze. She opened her mouth and scolded.
“Dan doesn’t need you here anymore. You should leave with your billionaire mother. The farther away you are from us, the better.”
Ava clenched her fist, but eventually, she released them. “I’m not leaving Dan.”
Daniel’s mother frowned, turned around, and stared at Ava, “Why are you such a nuisance? Dan hasn’t woken up because he drove your car. How are you still shameless enough to stay here?”
“If it weren’t for the sake of my daughter, I wouldn’t have bothered to use my connections to get the doctor to come and treat your son.” Raegan walked in from the door. When she saw Ava’s red eyes, she walked over in distress and grabbed Ava’s hand. “Ava, although Dan really wants you to be by his side, I don’t want to see these unreasonable people ganging up to bully you.”
After Reagan spoke, she was about to pull Ava away. Ava was probably a little surprised by Raegan’s sudden grasp. Before she could react, she heard Naya’s mocking voice.
“Ms. Xander, you spoke so well, but don’t you think you’re being ridiculous? Your daughter doesn’t even care about you at all. She hates you to death. I heard that it’s because you abandoned her for your career. Tsk tsk, what a pity. She doesn’t want your kindness at all.”
Naya’s words were full of pertinence.
She just wanted to see Ava unhappy and uncomfortable. She knew very well that the relationship between Ava and Raegan could be described as incompatible as fire and water. Therefore, she wanted to drive a wedge between Ava and Raegan.
“Who said I don’t want it?” Ava’s rhetorical question sounded abruptly. “Why would I not want a billionaire mother who spoils me so much? I guess some people are just jealous.”
Ava raised the corners of her mouth into a smile, her eyes a little more arrogant than before. She took advantage of the situation and grabbed Raegan’s hand tightly while smiling even brighter. “Mom, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Now that we’ve finally reunited, let’s go and have a nice long chat.”
Ava said and took Raegan’s hand before turning around and walking out.
Naya’s face had already darkened at this moment. She snorted with dissatisfaction and stayed in the ward with Daniel’s mother.
Outside the ward, Raegan’s face was full of joy at the moment. When she wanted to say something, Ava hurriedly released her hand.
The smile on Raegan’s face froze a little, but there was still joy. She understood Ava very well, so she planned to stay quiet. However, she suddenly heard Ava talking to her.
“Thank you.” Ava thanked her again.
Raegan was stunned for a moment. Just when she was about to say ‘you’re welcome’, Ava repeated it and added another word.
Raegan knew that she heard it right, but when the word left Ava’s mouth, Raegan felt like she was dreaming.
“Mom,” she said.
To Raegan, that word felt like a dream.
While Raegan was still ina daze, Ava spoke again. “I’m really thankful for you. Thank you for taking care of me and Danny all this while. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Ava’s attitude was sincere.
Raegan felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. She was a calm person, but right now, she was so excited that she could not even say a word. “T-This is what I should do,” Raegan stammered a little when she spoke, her overly excited emotions making her beating heart tremble even more.
“Ava, are you willing to forgive me?” Raegan could not help asking after a while.
Ava looked at Raegan’s hopeful eyes and lowered her eyes in disappointment.
“There’s nothing to be forgiven. I just know that seeing you at this moment makes me feel at ease.” Ava expressed her true feelings.
Raegan was very satisfied despite not getting the answer she was looking for.
Her eyes were also dyed red, and the joy in her heart could not be described in words.
She tried to stop her tears from falling, but she could not stop the emotions that she wanted to express.
Ava took out a tissue from her pocket, but she did not hand it to Raegan. Instead, she lifted her hand and wiped Raegan’s tears for her.
At that moment, Raegan was completely stunned. Her whole body froze in place, and the scorching tears seemed to warm her eyes, causing a warm current to flow through her heart.
There were a lot of things she wanted to express at this moment, but they seemed to be stuck in her throat and she could not speak.
Ava could probably sense what Raegan was feeling at the moment. She took a deep breath and sighed, a relieved smile appearing on the corners of her mouth.
“I know you want to hear me say that everything’s okay, but over the past ten years, the loneliness, anxiety, and loss have already deeply accumulated in my heart. There’s no way to easily erase them.”
Ava candidly expressed her thoughts. The smile on her face became more and more at ease.
“But it’s much better now, really. Although I said that I don’t want to see you again, every time I see you, a light will ignite in my heart. I know that’s the warmth I’ve been longing for and the motherly love I’ve been seeking for more thana decade. Now, this love has finally been delivered to me.”
At the end of her sentence, Ava laughed and burst into tears. Then, she looked into Raegan’s eyes earnestly.
“Mom. ”
Two seconds later, Ava called out to Raegan and stretched out her arms to hug her.
Raegan did not expect it but was very surprised and excited.
She did not let herself be in a daze for long and quickly hugged Ava back.
“Ava, I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you.”
Raegan cried and apologized. She owed Ava too much.
“After I left you that year, I’ve always regretted it. In fact, I went back to find you. I secretly watched you carry your school bag to school, and then after school, I wanted so badly to go over and hug you. However, I didn’t have the courage…”
Raegan closed her eyes, letting the tears run down her face.
At this moment, they did not talk to each other anymore and just hugged each other tighter.
Naya was standing behind the door of the ward. Upon seeing the scene outside the door through the small window, she rolled her eyes unhappily. Unexpectedly, her provocation just now had led to Ava and Raegan’s reconciliation.
This was beyond her expectation.
Naya gritted her teeth and looked back at Daniel, who was unresponsive on the hospital bed. She felt distressed and also irritable.
‘Please don’t blame me, Dan.
‘I didn’t mean to hurt you. If you want to blame someone, blame Ava.
‘We were childhood sweethearts and we’re a match made in heaven. It was Ava, an outsider, who suddenly intervened in our relationship. ‘
‘If it weren’t for this woman, I believe we would have already gotten married.
‘Ava should have died. You’ re supposed to be safe and sound.’
“Sigh, I wonder when Dan wil] wake up. It’s been so many days and he’s still like this.”
Naya came back to her senses when she heard Mrs. Graham’s worries. Then, she put on her good girl act and walked over to comfort her.
“Mrs. Graham, heaven help the worthy. I believe that Dan will be safe and sound,” Naya seemed to comfort her kindly. “However, I don’t think you can let Ava and her mother do whatever they want. Dan is your son. Your decision outweighs theirs.”
Mrs. Graham’s face sank after hearing this. “ Naya, lock the door and don’t let those people come in again.”
When Naya saw that she had successfully instigated Daniel’s mother, she walked over without hesitation and locked the door.
After talking outside the ward, Ava and Raegan wanted to go in and continue to keep an eye on Daniel. However, when they went to open the door, they found that the door could not be opened.
Ava looked up at the small window on the door, but she could only see Naya rolling her arrogant eyes at her.
Of course, Ava knew that the door was intentionally locked. However, she did not want to knock hard on the door. Although Daniel had not woken up yet, she was still afraid of disturbing him.
“How outrageous.” Raegan felt sorry for Ava, and at the same time, she did not understand the behavior of Naya and Daniel’s mother.
“Naya is obviously not a good person. I wonder if Dan’s mother is truly a fully-grown adult? Her ability to distinguish right from wrong is worse than that of a child.”
“Forget it.” Ava smiled indifferently. “I’ll just wait here. I don’t believe they can stay in there forever.”
Ava smiled and sat down on the chair by the door. When she looked back, she saw Niamh coming over.
Ava stood up again and walked toward Niamh. “Niamh, I knew you’d come to see me.” Niamh clearly felt that Ava was in a good mood. Seeing that Raegan was also greeting her with a slight smile, Niamh immediately felt that the relationship between Ava and Raegan seemed to have improved. It was probably a big leap in progress.
Niamh was happy for Ava and Raegan. However, she was here for some serious business. “Ava, is Naya here?” Niamh went straight to the point.
