“Ava?”
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat.
When he was about to rush over to see Ava’s condition, he calmed down upon seeing the car plate.
After a while, the police and ambulance arrived one after another.
Naya and the driver of the other car were lifted onto stretchers and sent to the hospital.
When Daniel’s mother saw that Daniel did not follow after them, she was curious.
“Dan, aren’t you worried about Naya?”
Daniel’s face looked very solemn. “Do you know how she got into the accident?”
Daniel’s mother answered without thinking, “She must have crashed because she wasn’t paying attention. Otherwise, did she intend to crash into the other car?” 1 “She did.” Daniel came to this conclusion without hesitation.
Daniel’s mother paused in surprise. “Dan, what are you talking about? Do you suspect that Nava deliberately crashed into that car to kill herself to gain your sympathy?”
“She didn’t want to gain my sympathy. She wanted to kill the person in the other car.” Daniel’s expression became more and more solemn. “The person who sent me back just now is
Ava.”
“… What? Ava?” Daniel’s mother was surprised, but she gradually understood what Daniel meant.
The car that Ava drove just now was the same model and the same color as the car that was hit by Naya. Naya must have thought that Ava was driving that car, so she…
“Dan, d-did you make a mistake? How could Naya make such a bet with her own life?”
“So, do you also think that she wouldn’t have attempted suicide for me? You already knew that she might have put on an act when she claimed to have attempted suicide by overdosing, right?” Daniel asked in a sharp tone, his eyes falling on his mother’s evasive gaze.
“Um…” Daniel’s mother did not know how to answer that.
Daniel did not say anything. He felt very uneasy, so he called Ava.
Ava was driving to her company when she suddenly received a call from Daniel. Hence, she happily turned on the Bluetooth headset.
After hearing Ava’s voice, Daniel felt a lot more at ease. When he found out that Ava was heading to the company, he did not say anything about Naya’s crash.
Ava only thought that Daniel missed her and did not think much about it.
She drove to an intersection with traffic lights. When she was about to say goodbye to Daniel and hang up the phone, she glanced in the rearview mirror. She saw a man in black clothes and sunglasses quickly walking over.
She thought that this man was just in a hurry, so that was why he was walking so quickly. However, a strong sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed her.
Ava subconsciously raised her hand to close the car window, but at this moment, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and strangled her neck.
Ava suddenly could not breathe. She struggled in pain and made a weak cry for help, “Let meg o! Help…”
When Daniel heard her strange voice on the other end of the call, he called out anxiously,” Ava? Ava, what’s wrong with you? Ava!”
Ava heard Daniel’s voice on the Bluetooth headset. She wanted to answer, but she could not speak.
While she was struggling, the Bluetooth headset fell off.
The man in black saw Ava struggling and resisting non-stop. His eyes suddenly turned fierce. He raised his palm and struck Ava’s neck heavily.
Ava lost consciousness in an instant and fell onto the car seat.
Upon seeing this, the man quickly pulled Ava from the driver’s seat to the backseat. Then, he got into Ava’s car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car away.
On the other hand, Daniel could hear strange noises coming from inside the car. He could roughly figure out that something had happened.
However, he saw that the call never ended and it seemed that the man did not notice.
Daniel decisively drove to the police station, informed the police of the situation, and handed his phone that was still connected to the police for investigation.
The police immediately launched an investigation. They tracked the location of Ava’s phone and immediately dispatched someone to track it down.
However, just ten minutes after the police went out, the call was suddenly interrupted. It seemed that the other party had realized the phone was still on a call and hung up.
Suddenly, the police were unable to track Ava down and had to change their methods.
Hospital.
After Naya was pushed out of the emergency room, the first person she saw when she woke up was her mother.
Although she was also injured, it was not serious. After making sure that no one else was around, Naya asked her mother impatiently, “Where’s Ava? What’s Ava’s situation now? Is she dead?”
Naya’s mother looked at Naya in surprise and hurriedly reached out to support Naya.
“Naya, slow down. You just woke up. Why are you asking that?”
Naya’s mother was puzzled and asked in a low voice, “ Could it be that you asked someone to do something to Ava?”
Naya was very vigilant this time. After she confirmed that there were no strange people and things around, she answered in a low voice.
“Why would I be lying here if I hadn’t tried to crash into her?”
“What? What do you mean?” Naya’s mother was even more astonished. “C-Could it be that you were the one who…”
“Yes, I crashed into her on purpose!” Naya’s eyes narrowed, and her eyes were full of ruthlessness. After hearing this answer, Mrs. Mendez’s expression changed. She quickly walked over to close the door of the ward, then asked in disbelief.
“Naya, you’re saying that you drove your car into that car?”
“That’s right.” Naya admitted it very readily, then she asked impatiently, “So, what’s the situation with that b*tch Ava now? Is she dead?”
“..” Naya’s mother was speechless for a while. “Naya, are you confused? The person in the car you hit isn’t Ava.”
Naya’s expression froze instantly. “What did you say? Not Ava? Ava was obviously driving that car today! I’ve seen it before. It’s Eveline’s car, and Ava drove Eveline’s car to look for Dan!”
“B-But the woman in that car really isn’t Ava!” Naya’s mother was very sure. When Naya was being resuscitated in the emergency room, she learned the name of the woman who was hit. Plus, that woman’s husband and family members were all here. She had never met those people before, so how could they have anything to do with Ava?
Naya looked dazed for a moment. “Are you sure the person I crashed into isn’t Ava?”
“Yes!” Naya’s mother said affirmatively. “How is that possible. That car is obviously…”
Knock, knock, knock.
The knocking on the door caused Naya to be distracted. Regardless of who it was, she quickly made herself look very weak and leaned on her pillow. She closed her eyes halfway and displayed a very pained expression.
Naya’s mother glanced at Naya before opening the door.
When she saw that the people at the door were two police officers in uniform, Naya’s mother unconsciously shifted her gaze with a guilty conscience.
“Is Naya Mendez staying in this ward?” an officer asked.
Naya’s mother nodded in a panic. “Yes, she is. My daughter just woke up. Officers, can I help you with anything?”
“It’s good that she’s awake. We have some questions we want to ask Miss Mendez about the accident.”
After the officer said that, the two of them walked directly to the hospital bed.
The police officers were serious as they looked at the weak- looking Naya. “Miss Mendez, please cooperate with us to answer a few questions.”
Naya raised her eyelids laboriously, wanting to show that she was unable to cooperate with the investigation due to her current situation.
Naya’s mother understood what Naya meant and hurriedly explained to the officers, “Officers, my daughter has just woken up, so she’s still very weak.
I’m afraid she can’t answer your questions. Can you let my daughter rest first?”
“Mrs. Mendez, before we came, we had already asked Miss Mendez’s attending doctor. The doctor said that Miss Mendez only suffered from superficial wounds and isn’t in a serious condition. As long as she’s conscious, she’s able to cooperate with our investigation.”
“2” Naya’s mother glanced at Naya in embarrassment after hearing this.
Naya also felt a little embarrassed, but she still] pretended to be very weak and slowly sat up. “Mom, I’m fine. I’m not in that much pain now.”
As she said that, she looked at the two police officers beside her with a good-natured look on her face.
“Officers, you can just ask me anything you need to. I’ll try my best to cooperate with your investigation.”
The officers’ sharp eyes stayed on Naya’s calm face for a few seconds. Then, one of them asked directly, “ We’ve checked the surveillance footage of the road at the time of the accident and found that you deliberately rammed into the other car with your car. The woman in the other car is severely injured, and she’s still in the emergency room now. Miss Mendez, why did you suddenly speed up and crash into Ms. Guzman’s car?”
After listening to the police’s question, Naya felt that her mind was much clearer now. She was very glad that the person she crashed into was not Ava.
Otherwise, she would have no excuse to quibble with the officer.
Naya responded pitifully and even squeezed out a few tears, “Officer, I-] don’t know what happened at the time. I seemed to lose control of my car back when I wanted to hit the brakes. Since my fiance’s house was right next to me, I wanted to slow down and go the other way, but I have no idea why the car suddenly accelerated. By the time I realized the seriousness of the situation, I had already hit the car…”
Naya said with a look of remorse and pain. Then, she raised her hand and covered her face. “How could this happen? If they fail to rescue Ms. Guzman, then I’ll be a murderer. How did this happen?” Naya was very good at acting, and her tears only solidified her act. She did look like she was genuinely feeling remorseful.
