Ava’s thoughts were wandering. Just then, a familiar figure unexpectedly appeared in her blurred vision. When she snapped back to her senses and looked carefully, she found that it was not an illusion.
Raegan also noticed that Ava had spotted her, so she took a pack of churros, walked to Ava witha loving smile, and handed the churros over.
“Ava, Iremember that this is your favorite food.” When Ava saw the churros that Raegan handed over, a wave of rejection and disgust surged in her heart.
She tried her best to restrain her emotions. Then, she said softly, “I haven’t eaten this for more than ten years.”
Raegan looked slightly stunned. She slowly retracted her hand that was frozen in midair. She asked carefully, “Is it because back then—” “Don’t mention what happened back then. It’s in the past now.”
Ava hurriedly interrupted Raegan, not wanting to look back on those unhappy things.
“By the way, why are you here?”
“I didn’t dare bother you, so I asked Mrs. Waldburg. She said you were around here, so I came to try my luck.”
Ava nodded and did not think much of it. Suddenly, she thought of something. “What a coincidence. I need a favor from you.”
Hearing that Ava wanted her help on something, it was exactly what Raegan wanted.
“Ava, just tell me what it is. I’l] help you as long as it’s within my ability.”
Ava looked around. “Let’s find a place to sit and talk.”
Raegan’s gaze shifted. “There’s a very suitable place nearby. Ava, come with me.”
Raegan said and led the way. Ava followed Raegan into the car without hesitation.
After driving for about five or six minutes, the car stopped downstairs at one of the high-end residential areas.
Ava was also no stranger to this area as it was not very far from where she worked. She then remembered that Raegan had told her earlier that she bought a unit near her company for her. Hence, the apartment building in front of her was probably the unit Raegan mentioned.
Of course, Ava did not ask. She had never thought of asking for anything from Raegan, and she also knew that Raegan was trying her best to make up for the damage she caused her in different ways. When the elevator reached the floor, Ava came back to her senses.
Raegan took Ava to the door of an apartment and unlocked the door with her fingerprint.
After the door was opened, Ava could smell a faint fragrance. It was the smell of flowers. The living room was well-lit, and they saw sunlight pouring in as soon as they entered the room. It made the living space feel particularly cozy.
What surprised Ava was that the interior of this apartment turned out to be the style she liked. She was very fond of the layout and even the small decorations around.
It could be seen that Raegan had seriously tried to understand her preferences.
Raegan made some black tea and poured a cup for Ava. Under the warm sunlight, the mother and daughter sat on the sofa by the French window. The scene looked very warm.
Raegan looked at Ava with anticipation and love. Then, she smiled and said, “I think you must have guessed it by now, Ava. Yes, this apartment is the one I wanted to give you before but you refused. I can understand your feelings completely. What I owed you back then can’t be made up for with money or a house.”
As she said that, Raegan’s guilt in her heart deepened.
Seeing that Ava’s eyebrows were also slightly furrowed, Raegan hurriedly changed the subject. “By the way, Ava, what do you need my help with?”
Ava’s thoughts were also pulled back by Raegan’s words.
She put down the teacup and looked at Raegan with a serious expression. “I still remember the last time Danny went to the emergency room because of a sudden urgent situation. It’s all thanks to the doctor you hired that he could survive. He’s recovering well and was discharged from the hospital today.
“But, as you know, Danny’s head was severely concussed when the car accident happened, so he can’t remember the past. I hope you can help me contact the doctor again.” ?
Raegan understood what Ava meant. She nodded, and her expression was serious. “Actually, I contacted that doctor long ago.”
Upon hearing this, Ava was very surprised. “You did?”
“Yes.” Raegan smiled slightly. “However, he’s not an expert in neurology, so he said that he may not be the most capable candidate for this. But Ava, don’t worry. That doctor knows many experts and professors. He just called today and told me that he has contacted a professor who’s an authoritative figure in neurology.”
“Really?” Ava could not hold back the joy in her heart and shrieked in surprise.
Raegan gave her a firm answer. “It’s true, so don’t worry too much, Ava. I think it won’t be long before Danny remembers everything.”
After hearing what Raegan said, Ava felt a lot more at ease.
After suppressing her joy as much as possible, Ava looked at Raegan gratefully. “Thank you.”
“Ava, you never have to thank me.” Raegan’s eyes were filled with nothing but warm motherly love. Ava’s heart warmed as she felt the sincere concern from Raegan. Hence, she did not say any more words of thanks.
She did not leave right away and followed Raegan around the apartment instead.
This apartment was large, being almost 2,000 square feet. There was a balcony surrounded by various flowers. When there was a breeze, one would be able to smell the fragrance of flowers. Ava was an interior designer, so she knew the housing prices in this area very well. The unit that Raegan wanted to give her was probably almost nine figures.
Before she knew it, it was almost evening.
Raegan was very happy. Not only did Ava not leave, but she also went to the vegetable market with her. Ava also washed the vegetables and cooked with her. Raegan had never dared to imagine such a scene.
As the sun set, a strong aroma of food wafted out of the dining room.
Raegan was very excited at the moment. She never thought that she and Ava could cook together and eat such a warm home-cooked meal. Ava also seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, presumably because she knew that there was a doctor who could help Daniel.
If Ava’s mood improved, Raegan’s mood would also improve.
After eating, the two cleaned up the dining room and kitchen together. Raegan suggested going downstairs for a walk, and Ava did not refuse. Under the chrome-yellow streetlights, Ava and Raegan took small, leisurely steps. The evening breeze in spring was blowing gently. It was not so cold anymore.
As she walked, Ava could not stop herself from asking the doubts in her heart, “So, have you seen him after that?”
Raegan gradually paused her footsteps and looked at Ava deeply. “Ava, are you talking about…”
“The man who also had a part in giving birth to me,” Ava answered bluntly.
Raegan was stunned for a moment. Then, she frowned as if she wanted to say something. However, she stopped herself. After a while, she said, “Ever since I left you that year, I went to Y Country by myself and never saw your father again.”
Raegan felt very guilty whenever she mentioned what had happened back then.
“Actually, I didn’t know that after I left, your father also left,” Raegan said, feeling guiltier and guiltier. “Ava, do you miss your father?”
“No, I don’t,” Ava replied indifferently as she started walking again. “Let’s walk for a while more. I need to go back later.”
Hearing that Ava would be leaving, Raegan could not help but feel a little sad. However, after she thought about the time she spent with Ava today, she did not feel so pessimistic anymore.
There would be a lot of time in the future. The important thing was that Ava was gradually accepting her again.
Ava had been waiting for updates from Raegan since she went back. She wanted to see the neurologist as soon as possible. She hoped to see Daniel recover soon.
On this day, Ava finally received a call from Raegan. She said that she had made an appointment to meet the doctor at the apartment they were previously at.
Ava was very surprised. Why would Raegan ask her to meet a doctor at home? However, Ava did not think much about it and went straight over.
After finishing her work for the day, Ava packed up and was ready to head to the apartment.
As soon as she left the entrance of the company, a car drove up in front of her. After the window was rolled down, she saw Tom raising a very gentlemanly smile at her.
“Where to? Let me send you.” Tom was very polite.
Ava was stunned for a moment. Although Tom, her boss, was very friendly, he was still her boss. It would be a little uneasy for her to hitch a ride from her boss.
When Ava was about to refuse after thinking about it, Tom unexpectedly got out of the car and helped Ava open the door to the passenger seat. “Get in the car. I’ll drive you.”
“…”
Ava did not know how to refuse Tom’s direct behavior for a moment.
“Actually, you don’t need to feel uneasy. I know where you’re going, and I’m about to go there as well. It’s more convenient like this.”
Tom’s explanation surprised Ava.
“You know where I’m going?”
“Uh-huh.” Tom gave a meaningful smile and motioned Ava to get inthe car again.
Out of curiosity, Ava eventually got into Tom’s car.
After the car started, Ava could not help but ask, “ Mr. Lowe, how do you know where I’m going?” Tom smiled when he heard this. “Of course, I don’t know where you’re going. If I hadn’t said that, you probably wouldn’t have gotten into my car.”
Upon hearing Tom’s explanation, Ava was once again stunned.
It turned out that Tom only said that to make her get into the car.
Ava then smiled embarrassedly. “Mr. Lowe, thank you very much, but the place I’m going to is nearby. It only takes a ten-minute walk. I really don’t need to trouble you.”
“Since it’s so close, then that’s even more reason for me to send you there.” Tom gave her a friendly smile and asked where she was going. Seeing that Tom was so polite, Ava did not want to waste any more time and told Tom the address. Tom nodded and turned the steering wheel.
He could see that Ava was a little uncomfortable, but perhaps he was a businessman, he could behave naturally and without restraints.
“I heard that you’ve encountered some troubles recently. Actually, you don’t have to be in a hurry to come back to work. I’1l let the other colleagues follow up on the project you’re working on. You can take care of your matters first.”
Tom was very polite. When he saw that Ava seemed surprised and puzzled, Tom continued.
