Married by Mistake – Chapter 2241
“Ava!”
Madeline shouted in Ava’s direction, but Ava had already rushed into the crowd.
Jeremy looked curiously at Ava who was suddenly behaving frantically and came up with a possibility in his mind. He was about to speak when Madeline hurriedly opened the door and followed. He did not think much before he rushed out of the car to chase after Madeline.
There were many people in front of her, so Ava pushed the crowd away and came to the front. When she saw the familiar vehicle, her blood seemed to be chilled by the cold wind. The bright red scene in front of her turned dark gray in her eyes.
She collapsed to the ground limply almost instantly. The people around her were puzzled. They all thought that Ava was frightened by the scene of the car accident.
Madeline could smell the blood before she even got close. Her heartbeat gradually became uneasy too. When she saw the car in front of her that had gotten into an accident, she was stunned.
This was Ava’s car. She was not mistaken. Almost half of the car was caught under a big truck and the paramedics were on standby, waiting for the rescuers to rescue the victims trapped in the car.
Madeline dared not make any guesses, but her strong, restless heartbeat told her that something bad might have happened to Daniel.
She tried hard to stabilize her emotions before quickly running to Ava’s side. Then, she squatted down and pulled Ava into her arms.
“Ava, are you alright?”
“Danny…” Ava looked at the car in front of her like she was in a trance. She did not cry, but her mental state seemed tense.
She might still be expecting something. She might still be expecting Daniel to be okay. She was even so selfish to hope that this was not her car and it was just a car of the same model. However, even when she was deceiving herself like this, she could not pretend that she could not see the license plate number.
Ava stared at the car with a pale face and took out the phone from her pocket with trembling hands. It was obviously a number she knew by heart, but she could not seem to remember the string of numbers at the moment. She flipped through the call log with trembling fingers and dialed Daniel’s number again.
A few seconds later, amid the noise, Ava heard a familiar melody coming from the front.
At this moment, Ava’s tears seemed to escape from the corners of her eyes as though a dam had burst.
It was at this same moment that Madeline saw that the rescuers were finally bringing out the wounded who was trapped in the wrecked car. The paramedic on the side also quickly stepped forward to carry the wounded onto a stretcher.
Ava restrained her emotions that seemed to be at the brink of a breakdown. She got up with Madeline’s help and walked over. When she saw the blood on the face of the person on the stretcher, she immediately lost all senses and fainted.
Since Naya did not want to go out and be criticized by others, she had been staying in her apartment and watching videos. Suddenly, she came across a short video of a car accident in her city. At a glance, she saw that the car was half- smashed into a truck. The blood on the ground was blurred, and finally, her eyes fell on the car’s license plate number.
‘Is this… Ava’s car?’
The corners of Naya’s mouth lifted into a smile. To confirm that this was Ava’s car, she watched the video Chloe sent her before again and realized the license plate number was exactly the same.
Ava got into an accident so soon.
Naya was a little surprised. She did not expect Ava to use the car today. She thought that she would have to wait until Ava went to work tomorrow before she discovered that there was a problem with the brakes and got into a car accident. She did not expect that the moment she had been waiting for came so soon!

She hoped that Daniel was not in any danger, but the nervous Naya only got an uncertain answer.
“The doctor is doing all he can to rescue Dan. Dan is a good man and he’ll be blessed by God, so I’m sure it won’t be too serious. Mr. and Mrs. Graham, sit down with us. Let’s wait for the operation to be over.”
Madeline persuaded in a friendly tone. She did not want to tell them not to worry too much. As parents, how could they not worry about their child?
Daniel’s parents listened to Madeline. The worry on their face intensified, and Daniel’s mother also started crying inconsolably. “How could this be? How could such a thing happen to Dan? He was fine when he left the house in the morning and now he’s in the operating room covered in blood! How could this be?”
Daniel’s mother cried sadly while leaning against Daniel’s father.
Madeline did not know how to comfort her, and Ava, who was beside her, wept even harder when she heard Daniel’s mother crying.
“Ava, don’t cry.” Madeline tried to appease Ava‘s emotions, but she knew all too well that only Daniel’s safety could truly appease Ava’s heart at this time.
Madeline glanced at the operating room in front of her. The red light continued to stay on. After two long hours, the door of the operating room finally opened.
Ava rushed over immediately, her scarlet eyes staring straight at the chief surgeon.
“Doctor, how is my boyfriend? Is he okay now?”
Daniel‘s parents also had heavy looks on their faces as they looked at the chief surgeon expectantly.
The doctor looked at them and sighed with regret. “We’ve done our best. The patient has to rely on his willpower to survive.”
Upon hearing those words, Ava instantly seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She weakly fell backward.
Madeline quickly reached for Ava. “Ava!”
Daniel’s mother cried out in despair, “Dan!”
Jeremy, who was standing on the side, felt bad as well when he saw this scene. ‘One will never know if misfortune will befall them tomorrow,’ he thought silently as his eyes naturally fell on Madeline again.
In the days to come, he just wanted to cherish the people around him even more. It was because the future was not guaranteed.
After Daniel came out of the operating room, he was transferred to the intensive care unit. His family members were not allowed to visit him.
Ava could only stand at the door of the intensive care unit and watch Daniel, who was lying on the bed, through the glass window.
Daniel’s injuries were serious because the front of the car had hit the back of the truck, causing the airbag to deploy. Daniel’s brain was severely concussed and there were various degrees of fractures and scratches all over his body. Hence, his whole body was covered with gauze.
Madeline looked at Ava, who was crying silently from devastation. She could only stay by her side without disturbing her. She could fully understand Ava’s feelings at the moment. When Jeremy was unconscious in the hospital because of an accident, she was in the same state as well. She still felt sad whenever she thought of that heart-wrenching feeling.
Since Daniel’s vital signs were alright now, the doctor advised them to go back first.
Although Daniel’s parents were unable to accept this situation, they still decided to go back to discuss Daniel’s care in the future. At the same time, they would also get ready to transfer Daniel to a better hospital.
However, Ava insisted on staying. She had no intention of dealing with other matters right now and did not want to go back to the apartment at all.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2244
Madeline said a few words to Jeremy and stayed with Ava. She was Ava’s only friend. Back then when she was helpless, only Ava was there by her side. She could not let Ava face this alone. Right now, Ava needed comfort and someone to rely on the most.
Jeremy could emphasize, so he listened to Madeline and went back first.
Naya, who had been hiding in the distance and paying attention to the situation, saw that almost everyone had left. Hence, she did not stay there any longer. Naya drove away immediately, but not in the direction of her apartment but Graham Manor.
In her initial plan, the person who was supposed to get into a car accident was Ava. However, Daniel took Ava’s place. Therefore, Naya was angry but at the same time, worried about Daniel.
After all, her feelings for Daniel were genuine. Over the years, she had done everything she could to marry Daniel, so it could be said that she really loved this man. However, now that things had turned into this, even if she loved Daniel a lot, she must do whatever she could to get rid of all possible suspicions on her.
Not long after Danie’s parents returned home, Naya arrived.
Naya pretended to have just found out about Daniel’s accident and hurriedly entered through the door. When she saw that Daniel’s mother was sitting on the sofa in tears, Naya strode over.
“Mrs. Graham, is it true what’s being said on the internet? Did something bad happen to Dan?”
Naya rushed to Daniel’s mother and asked, her eyes filled with tears that had been suppressed for a long time.
Daniel’s mother was thinking about Daniel at the moment, so she was not in the mood to think about why Naya had appeared at this time. She just thought that Naya cared about Daniel and nodded sadly.
“Dan was in a car accident and he’s now in the hospital’s intensive care unit. The doctor said whether he wakes up or not will depend on his will to survive…”
Daniel’s mother choked up and cried as she spoke. “How could Dan be so unlucky to encounter such a thing…”
“How could this happen, Dan…” Naya also burst into tears, and her eyes turned red from sadness. “I just met Dan a while ago and he was fine. How could something like this happen after just a few days?”
Naya said quietly and glanced at Daniel’s mother from the corners of her eyes. Then, she pretended to be puzzled.
“Mrs. Graham, the netizens on the internet are saying that it was too late for Dan to avoid the big truck because the car’s brakes failed, but I watched the video and it’s not Dan’s car. Mrs. Graham, did they make a mistake?”
“That car wasn’t Dan’s. He was driving Ava’s car,” explained Daniel’s mother.
This was the answer Naya wanted to hear, so she decided to use this to make a fuss. She pretended to sigh.
“So it turns out that the car belongs to Dan’s girlfriend, Ava. I’ve read that the brakes of this car brand often have problems. If Dan hadn’t driven Ava’s car, this wouldn’t have happened. Dan is so pitiful.”
Daniel’s mother was shocked when she heard Naya’s seemingly unintentional words.
“You’re right. Dan wouldn’t have gotten into the accident if he hadn’t driven Ava’s car!” Daniel’s mother’s eyes suddenly became extremely piercing.
“Just now at the hospital, Eveline said that Dan was on the way back from the supermarket. Ava must have been the one who asked Dan to go to the supermarket! That car got into an accident today and it was Dan who’s faced with this tragedy instead of Ava. The one who got into an accident today should’ve been Ava! Even if someone were to die, it should be Ava. My Dan was harmed by that woman!”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2245
Daniel’s mother suddenly became very emotional. Her initial sadness seemed to be replaced by anger. She stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
Naya could probably guess where Daniel‘s mother was going, but she pretended to be curious and concerned as she caught up to her.
“Mrs. Graham, where are you going? Don’t walk so fast. It’s raining outside. Be careful. The road is slippery.”
“I’m going to look for Ava! I want her to give me back my Dan!” Daniel’s mother replied angrily with a sob.
When Naya heard the words, she smiled wickedly. However, in order to put on a complete show, she still pretended to go over and stop Daniel’s mother.
“Mrs. Graham, calm down. What’s the use of you going to Ava like this? And have you forgotten? Ava has so many people behind her. Her mother, Eveline, and Jeremy are all standing behind her. It’ll be very hard even if you want justice.”
Naya deliberately said this to intensify the conflict between Daniel’s mother and Ava.
Sure enough, Mrs. Graham’s expression became more unpleasant the next second.
Naya knew that her goal had been achieved. She had triggered Mrs. Graham’s hatred for Ava and at the same time, she got rid of the possible suspicions on her.
When Naya was about to add more fuel to the fire, Old Master Graham came downstairs angrily.
“I told you a long time ago that we couldn’t let Dan be with that woman. So what if her mother is wealthy? Do we not have money? Do the Mendezes not have money? Nothing would’ve happened if Dan had gotten engaged to Naya early on. Great, something bad has happened to Dan now!”
Old Master Graham smacked the cane in his hand against the floor angrily. His face was also overwhelmed with concern.
“What’s the situation right now? What happened to Dan?”
Seeing Old Master Graham so angry, Daniel’s mother burst into tears.
“When I just came back from the hospital, the doctor said that Dan‘s condition isn’t optimistic and that he’ll probably be in a vegetative state.”
“What? A vegetative state?” Old Master Graham was shocked.
Naya’s heart was also dealt a huge blow. The man she had loved for so many years was about to fall into a vegetative state!
Naya could not accept this result and grew even more worried. If the police thoroughly investigated the cause of the car accident, was it possible for her not to be implicated?
Naya took two steps back in panic. Daniel’s mother thought that Naya was sad because she heard that Daniel would fall into a vegetative state, so that was why she could not stand still. Therefore, she quickly supported Naya.
“Naya, are you okay?”
Naya hurriedly returned to her senses and shook her head with a pale face.
“I… I’m fine.” She tried to regulate her emotions. While she was at it, she squeezed out a few drops of tears. “I didn’t expect this to happen to Dan. I’m really sad.”
That was what Naya said, but she was more worried about whether the car accident would affect her.
“Don’t be sad, Naya. The doctor also said that if Dan’s will to survive is strong, there’s still a chance that he’ll wake up.”
Daniel’s mother consoled her. Then, she started to blame herself and feel remorseful.
“I should have insisted that Dan break up with that woman. Now, it’s no use even if we have money.
“Naya, it’s all my fault. Dan needs someone to cheer him on and accompany him now. If you have the time, why don’t you go to the hospital to accompany Dan more? If Dan wakes up, I’ll convince him to marry you.”
“Mrs. Graham, don’t worry. Regardless of what happens to me and Dan in the future, I’ll still go to the hospital to take care of Dan,” Naya promised, showing her understanding and generous side.
Daniel’s mother was more satisfied with Naya after hearing this. Right now, she was starting to reject Ava more and more in her heart.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2246
Hospital.
Ava watched Daniel all night in the intensive care unit, and Madeline accompanied her.
Jeremy went back to the hospital in the middle of the night and brought coats for both women. The corridor of the hospital was very cold. Even if the air conditioner was turned off, Ava’s heart would still be cold.
Daniel was lying on the hospital bed, and there had been no response from him since he entered the ward. He looked like he was just sleeping, but Ava knew that this was not the case.
Madeline looked at Ava’s increasingly haggard face and felt heartbroken.
“Ava, do you want to go back and rest first? Let Jeremy stay here with Dan. He’ll notify us as soon as there’s any news.”
Madeline persuaded. Ava looked at Daniel who was lying on the hospital bed, and her dry eyes became wet again.
“I don’t want to go back to rest. I’ll just sleep here for a while.” Ava declined, still wanting to keep an eye on Daniel here.
“How can you have a good rest here? Ava, listen to me and go back to sleep first. Dan‘s condition is stable now, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Ava thought for a while and seemed a little swayed.
“Let’s go, Ava. I’ll drive you back.” Madeline took Ava’s hand.
Ava did not refuse and was about to go with Madeline.
“Jeremy, you should stay here with Dan and call me as soon as there are any updates,” Madeline told the man beside him.
Jeremy responded quickly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be here to keep watch. You guys go back and have a good sleep.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded. She did not say any more before taking Ava’s hand and turning around.
However, before they could go far, Madeline saw Naya and Daniel’s mother walking toward them hurriedly. Ava was already very tired, but at this moment, she deliberately cheered up to say hello to Daniel’s mother. However, just as she was about to speak, Daniel’s mother suddenly rushed in front of her, raised her hand, and slapped her across the face.
The sound of the slap was extremely loud.
Ava could not maintain her balance and staggered backward a little. Madeline quickly supported Ava and looked up to glare at Daniel’s mother with dissatisfaction.
“Mrs. Graham, why did you slap Ava?”
“Yes, I slapped her!” Daniel’s mother pointed at Ava angrily and gritted her teeth. “She’s a bringer of trouble and bad luck! If Dan hadn’t driven her car, how could such a thing have happened? It’s all her fault!”
Upon hearing this, Madeline understood what Daniel’s mother meant. However, she thought it was ridiculous.
“The crash was an accident No one wanted it to happen. How could the responsibility for this be placed on Ava? I don’t think you’re someone who can’t tell right from wrong, Mrs. Graham.”
“I don’t want to know what’s right and wrong now. I just want my son to be healthy and safe!” Daniel’s mother emphasized while pointing at Ava. “Leave right now. I don’t want to see you again. Dan doesn’t need you to stay by his side either. Get lost!”
Jeremy, who was on the side, could not stand it anymore. “I think if your son wakes up now, the person he would want to see most is Ava. Why are you driving her away? Do you think that if Ava is gone, your son’s condition will improve?”
Daniel’s mother looked up and met Jeremy‘s deep, cold eyes. She was a little scared, but she did not show any weakness. Instead, she just avoided Jeremy’s eyes.
“In short, I don’t want this woman to appear by my son’s side again. My future daughter-in-law Naya will be taking care of my son from now on!”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2247
Madeline was surprised by what Daniel’s mother said.
Ava also looked at Daniel’s mother in astonishment after hearing what she said.
“Mrs. Graham, what did you just say?” Ava looked in disbelief at Daniel’s mother and Naya, who was standing beside Daniel’s mother with a small smile.
It was obvious that Naya had said something to Daniel’s mother. Otherwise, Daniel’s mother would not have suddenly changed her mind at this time, calling Naya her future daughter-in-law.
“I was very clear just now. Do you really not understand or do you want me to repeat it to further humiliate yourself?”
Mrs. Graham’s tone was very aggressive, and her eyes looked even more vicious.
“I shouldn’t have agreed to let you get together with Dan, you bringer of misfortune! If Dan can’t wake up, I’ll definitely take you to court! I’ll make you pay!”
Daniel’s mother walked past Ava after warning her angrily. Naya also followed Daniel’s mother, but when she passed by Ava, she deliberately bumped Ava with her shoulder.
After seeing this scene, Madeline was about to stop Naya, but Naya stopped herself first. She turned back to look at Ava with a strange smile. “I‘m so sorry for bumping into you, Miss Long. I didn’t mean to do it.”
Naya was apologizing, but her eyes were full of provocation.
Of course, Madeline was reluctant to let Ava suffer like this in vain. However, Ava stopped her just as she was about to go forward.
“Maddie, I‘m very tired. Go back and sleep with me.”
Madeline knew that Ava was saying this because she did not want to make things worse or disturb Daniel, so Madeline suppressed her emotions and asked Jeremy to come back
“Jeremy, can you drive me and Ava back to my parents‘ house?”
Jeremy seemingly glanced at Naya before obediently following Madeline.
Naya quietly watched the trio turn around and leave from the corners of her eyes. Seeing that they were a distance away, Naya quietly chuckled and averted her gaze. However, she could not feel pleased for a long time. When she saw Daniel lying on the hospital bed with bandages and tubes all over his body, she suddenly felt horrible.
This accident was really unexpected. She wanted Ava to disappear from this world, but she did not think that Daniel would be injured.
Naya felt flustered once more. They could not start investigating his case. Otherwise…
“Naya,” Daniel’s mother called out to Naya suddenly. Naya snapped back to her senses. “Mrs. Graham…”
“Naya, I didn’t expect you to be so affectionate and righteous. I don’t know whether Dan will wake up or not. Do you really not mind taking care of Dan like this all the time?”
Naya knew that her feelings for Daniel were true, but if Daniel really fell into a vegetative state, she would not sacrifice her whole life for him. However, she still had feelings for Daniel now and there was no one else she was into, so naturally, she would just go along with the situation for now.
“Mrs. Graham, you watched me grow up. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Regardless of whether Dan will wake up in the future, I’ll never leave him. Even if Dan wakes up in the future and still decides to choose Ava, I’ll have no regrets.”
Naya’s hypocritical words sounded very touching to the ears of Mrs. Graham, who was so moved that her eyes were red. She immediately grabbed Naya’s hand and praised her.
“Naya, you’re such a good girl that’s rare to come by. Dan didn‘t choose you because he’s been blinded by that vixen.”
Daniel’s mother was pushing the blame on Ava.
Naya did not say anything. She just patted Daniel’s mother’s shoulder with a reassuring smile. Although she knew that she did not achieve a perfect win in this round, she did not lose either.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2248
In the next few hours, Naya stayed at the door of the intensive care unit and never left. After another hour, Daniel’s mother finally left.
As soon as she left, Naya immediately took out her mobile phone and called Chloe, but after several calls, Chloe still did not answer. Naya could not sit still anymore. When she was about to call again, Chloe took the initiative to call her back.
She answered the call without hesitation and asked, “Why didn’t you answer your calls or reply to my messages? Where have you been? Do you know that something bad has happened?”
Chloe, who was on the other end, was immediately scolded and questioned by Naya. It took a few seconds before she answered in a daze.
“What? Who are you? Are you Naya? I was out playing and my phone ran out of battery. Why are you so urgently looking for me?”
“Have you been drinking too much? Where the hell are you? Don’t you know that something bad has happened?”
“What’s the matter? Let’s talk when I wake up. I haven’t slept all night,” Chloe said weakly and was about to hang up.
Naya immediately stopped her. “You’re still in the mood to sleep? Dan was in a car accident because of you and he may fall into a vegetative state!”
“What? What are you talking about? Who’s Dan?” Chloe sounded like she was very drunk.
Naya was boiling with rage when she heard this. She was flustered and exasperated.
“Chloe, hurry and sober up! You got someone to do something to Ava’s car that day, but Ava didn’t drive the car. Daniel drove it. He got into a serious accident and might not ever wake up! The police have started to look into the car accident. They’ll go looking for you soon, do you understand?”
After Naya finished saying that, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Chloe‘s stunned and astonished voice followed.
“W-What did you say? Daniel got into an accident while driving Ava’s car?” Chloe asked in disbelief, then got an affirmative answer from Naya.
“Yes, it happened yesterday.”
“Impossible! H-How is that possible?” Chloe was fully awake at the moment, but she could not believe that this was true.
She did not ask the person she got to do anything to the brakes. She just asked him to pretend to get in the car and do something to the car. In reality, it was just so she could fake evidence to show to Naya.
Her purpose was just to get the 200,000 bucks. She never thought about committing murder. However, what was Naya telling her now? Someone had an accident in that car?
No, this was impossible!
When Naya listened to Chloe’s denial, she asked Chloe resolutely, “Why is it impossible? Did you forget that it was you who got someone to get in the car and do something to the brakes? You even took a video for me. I still have the video saved. Plus, Dan got into the accident because the brakes didn’t work.”
“…” Chloe’s hands and legs went cold. Her back was drenched in a layer of cold sweat.
This was so strange.
She never asked that person to do anything to the brakes. Did that thug act on his own initiative?
How was that possible?
Those kinds of thugs would not do any additional work after they got their money, so how could the thug she hired sacrifice himself like this?
Chloe still felt that it was impossible. At this moment, someone knocked on the door of her hotel room.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2249
Chloe suddenly shuddered. Then, she hurriedly put on her clothes and went to open the door. She thought it was room service, but when the door opened, she saw two policemen.
Chloe was stunned. She thought the police might be here to investigate her sleeping with a strange man in the hotel after she had too much fun in the bar last night. However, this was very common nowadays, so Chloe did not worry too much about it.
“Officers, what’s the matter? I don’t think sleeping with the temporary boyfriend I found in the bar last night is illegal, right?”
The police had no intention of going around in circles with Chloe at all. They made their intentions clear in a straightforward manner, “Chloe Tawney, you’re suspected of being involved in a criminal case. Please go back with us immediately to assist in the investigation.”
Upon hearing this, Chloe felt ill.
She felt as if all of her energy had been drained all at once. It took her a few seconds to react. “No, no, what criminal case am I involved in? I’m a good citizen, and I’m a public figure. How could I possibly…”
“A good citizen?” One of the police officers smiled faintly, seemingly knowing that Chloe and Naya had colluded to frame Ava before.
After all, the incident was trending on the internet. As long as one had a mobile phone, they would know about this piece of gossip.
“The police will give you a fair and just answer on whether you’re a good citizen or if you’ve violated the law. Please cooperate with us.”
“No, I didn’t… I didn’t break the law…” Chloe panicked and began to stutter.
The police were experienced. Upon seeing Chloe’s guilty conscience, they were even more certain that they got the right target.
Chloe was quickly brought back for questioning. She cooperated with the questioning in a panic, but she denied all allegations against her.
“Officers, I didn’t touch Ava’s car at all. Yes, I despise that woman, but I’m a well-known person myself. I wouldn’t sacrifice my entire life for this.” Chloe explained seriously.
“Officers, you must investigate this thoroughly and prove my innocence.”
“We’ll definitely investigate this clearly. Please don’t leave the country for the time being as we’ll still need your assistance in the follow-up investigation.”
“Of course. I’m a good citizen and will definitely cooperate with the police’s investigation.” Chloe promised. She was glad that the police did not have any definite evidence to prove that she had gotten someone to get into Ava’s car.
The first thing Chloe did after leaving the police station was to contact Naya. Then, she went to Naya’s apartment.
Naya had been waiting for Chloe for a long time. She was also prepared, knowing that Chloe would definitely come to find her. As soon as Chloe saw Naya, she hurriedly sat down on the sofa. When Naya saw Chloe’s panicked expression, she handed a glass of warm water to her while pretending to be concerned.
“Where were you last night? Did the police look for you?” Naya asked.
Chloe quickly drank a mouthful of water before taking a deep breath.
“This really has nothing to do with me. Daniel’s accident has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me…” Chloe quibbled incoherently.
“I don’t want to go to jail.”
When Naya saw Chloe panicking, she figured if the police asked to see Chloe again, she would definitely tell them everything.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2250
Naya did not want anything to go wrong at this crucial juncture, so she deliberately pretended to persuade Chloe.
“Didn’t I tell you that we shouldn’t do something like this? But you persuaded me, saying that it‘s okay and no one will find out. You also promised me that you wouldn’t implicate me. Now that the police have found you, they’ll come to look for me too when the time comes. Even though I didn’t do anything, perhaps I’ll still be implicated by you.”
After listening to Naya’s complaints, Chloe did not think much of them. Instead, she said in a panic, “I didn‘t expect things to turn out like this. I just wanted money…”
She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She wanted to tell Naya that she did not get anyone to do anything to the car, but she was afraid that she would offend Naya and have to pay back the money. When that happened, she would have trouble from both sides.
Maybe Naya could still rely on her connections to protect her in this situation. Hence, she just kept her mouth shut.
After Naya sent Chloe away, she returned to the hospital.
Before reaching the door of the intensive care unit, Naya saw Ava and Madeline sitting at one side from a distance.
Naya was reluctant to offend Madeline, but she had to elicit some anger from Ava no matter what.
Madeline and Ava heard the sound of approaching footsteps and looked over at the same time. When they saw that it was Naya, Madeline instinctively became vigilant. Madeline knew that Naya was definitely here to cause trouble for Ava by just looking at Naya’s provocative and arrogant eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as Naya approached, she stopped in front of Ava and looked down at Ava with a condescending attitude.
“Why are you here again? Do you like seeking trouble so much? You have a wealthy mother who can see the bigger picture and do big things, so why are you so narrow-minded? It’ s no wonder that your wealthy mother abandoned you back then.”
Of course, Madeline could not just sit back and ignore such an obvious act of provocation. She stood up abruptly, her sharp eyes falling on the evil grin on Naya’s face.
“Although Ava didn’t live with her parents when she was young, she knows how to be polite, honest, and respectful. Miss Mendez, you seem to have grown up in a good environment and studied in a famous university. Didn’t your parents and teachers teach you the most basic manners?”
“… ” Naya’s smile froze as she looked at Madeline with a cold expression. “Mrs. Whitman, I’m not talking to you.”
“If you’re provoking Ava, it means you’re provoking me.”
“…” Naya’s face turned dark. She wanted to refute, but when she saw Madeline’s sharp eyes, she did not dare to offend her anymore.
Ava reached out to pull Madeline’s hand. “Maddie, it’s fine. Ignore her. I don’t want to care about anything else except for keeping an eye on Dan now.”
Ava did not want to pay any attention to Naya. Since Madeline did not want to trouble Ava further, she obeyed Ava’s wishes and stopped talking nonsense with Naya.
However, the moment Madeline sat down, she heard Naya turning around and calling out in the direction of the corridor, “Mrs. Graham.”
When Ava heard that, she turned around to look.
Daniel’s mother was smiling when she saw Naya, but when she saw Ava, she could not keep her cool anymore. “Why are you here again?” Daniel’s mother’s expression fell. “I told you that you’re not allowed to visit Dan, you bringer of bad luck! Do you still want to harm Dan even more? Get lost! I get so annoyed when I see you.”
Ava knew that Daniel’s mother did not like her right now because Daniel got into an accident while driving her car. She did not want to explain anything, so she just stood up and said nicely, “Mrs. Graham, I just want to stay here with Dan. As for the others, I won’t…”
“What other things are you thinking about? Dan’s matters in the future are none of your business now!” Danie’s mother scolded. When she wanted to continue to complain, two police officers showed up behind her.
