Married by Mistake – Chapter 2281

Even though Daniel’s mother denied it, she still wanted to know the results of the appraisal. She was very dissatisfied because that appraisal expert did not tell her at once when she got the results but instead, she asked Madeline to send the report to her.

Naya’s eyes also unconsciously landed on the papers Madeline was holding. This time, she had no idea whether Madeline was deliberately faking this.

Madeline did not give Naya the chance to guess either, and she did not let Daniel’s mother feel conflicted for too long. She immediately took the papers in her hand and showed the results to them.

The eyes of Daniel’s mother widened as the items listed on the papers were all the items she sent for appraisal. There were 33 items, not one item more or one item less. Then, she noticed the results of the appraisal. What shocked her was that there was not a single ‘authentic’ remark on the report. All of them were fake!

Of course, Naya saw the results as well. Her face was just like Daniel’s mother’s. It immediately turned dark, and she looked very embarrassed.

“Mrs. Graham, you’re seeing this too, right? The jewelry and bags Naya gave you are all fakes. She only did that to get on your good side. At the same time, you don’t know anything about branded goods, so you’ve been helping her save the cost of flattering you.”

Madeline was straightforward, and Daniel’s mother became burning hot after hearing that. She was a rich woman from an aristocratic family, yet she was called stupid in front of everyone. How would she be able to save her dignity now?

What embarrassed Daniel’s mother even more was that she had worn the jewelry and bags Naya gave her to a lot of upper class parties and dinners. When she thought about how the things she wore were all fake and the other rich women might have been laughing at her behind her back for wearing fakes, she wanted so badly to crawl into a hole.

That was so embarrassing!

Naya noticed Mrs. Graham’s expression. She wanted to maintain her image. Of course, she would not admit it so easily.

“Eveline, what kind of appraisal expert is your friend? She got the results yet didn’t send them directly to the client but instead, she handed them to an irrelevant person like you. Who would dare visit an appraisal expert who leaks her clients’ details to others? Also, the branded bags and jewelry I gave to Mrs. Graham are all from the stores. How can they be fakes? I think your appraisal expert friend is the fake one.” Naya denied it and turned her head to try to comfort Daniel’s mother.

“Mrs. Graham, don’t trust what Eveline said. She’s here to speak on behalf of Ava, so she must be saying that to drive a wedge between us. The things I gave you are all authentic. The only fake thing is the appraisal report.”

Naya insisted, then looked at Madeline with an arrogant and disdainful look.

“Eveline, don’t try to drive a wedge between me and Mrs. Graham. Don’t try to slander me. Even if I had really broken the law, you have no right to criticize me here. The police would’ve been here for me a long time ago.”

“Naya Mendez.”

After Naya finished quibbling, a righteous voice suddenly came from among the crowd.

Naya was stunned and did not know who was calling her name. She looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw two police officers in uniform walking over to her while pushing through the crowd. Naya was staring blankly ahead like she was in a daze. Her arrogant confidence from the previous second was immediately blown away by the wind in that instant.

Madeline saw the change in Naya’s expression and smiled. “Just as you wish, the police are here for you.”

When she heard this, Naya backed away in a panic. At that moment, she felt her footsteps getting light.

The expressions of Mrs. Graham and Ava changed at the same time. It was because the police had really come for Naya.

“Naya, we have enough evidence to prove that you’re involved in an attempted murder case. Please go back with us for questioning.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2282

The police were stern. Of course, they were not joking with Naya.

When Naya heard the words ‘attempted murder’ and could not keep her cool anymore. Especially when the people around her were looking at her with doubt. She was feeling more and more flustered now.

“W-W’hat’s happening? What did they say? Naya is related to an attempted murder case? Who did she want to kill? Who was killed?” Daniel’s mother was confused.

“She wanted to kill Ava but the person who got into the accident was Ava’s boyfriend, Daniel,” the police officer told her the whole situation.

When Daniel’s mother heard this, she immediately understood what was going on. However, she still did not believe it.

“I understand what you mean. You’re trying to tell me that Naya is the one who tampered with that woman’s car, right?” Daniel’s mother pointed at Ava. It was obvious that she was still siding with Naya. “What evidence do you have that points to Naya being the one who tampered with the car?”

When Naya saw that Daniel’s mother was still siding with her, she felt much calmer. However, this calm was quickly broken by Madeline.

“You want evidence? That’s simple. The evidence is with me.” Madeline’s straightforward statement caused Naya’s expression to freeze.

People who had done something wrong would naturally feel guilty. Naya watched as Madeline walked in front of her. She felt as though her heartbeat was going to go out of control.

“Naya, do you still remember where you went yesterday?” Madeline smiled faintly.

Naya gritted her teeth. “Where I went is none of your business!”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to answer or if you’ve forgotten. I have surveillance footage that can tell everyone where you went and what you did yesterday.” As Madeline said that, she quickly took a laptop from Jeremy’s hands. Then, she opened the surveillance footage.

Ava immediately went over to take a look. She saw Naya in the parking lot downstairs of her apartment. Plus, Naya was also next to her parking space. However, Naya was not the only one in the footage. Madeline and Jeremy were there too.

After Madeline and Jeremy left, Naya snuck out from behind the wall and walked straight to Ava’s parking space.

Naya seemed to be looking for something around the parking space. After she picked something up, she immediately fled the scene. Naya looked just like a sneaky thief while she was doing that.

Naya was utterly shocked when she saw the footage. This angle was not from the surveillance camera in the parking lot. This was clearly from a dashcam of a car!

Madeline noticed the changes in Naya’s expression and said, “You didn’t expect this, right? Jeremy and I were waiting for you in the parking lot.”

Naya was stunned. She wanted to argue, “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about. I also don’t know why you two were waiting for me there. I-I dropped something, so that’s why I went back to look for it! It’s that simple! Officer, I’m not lying. I really went back to get something back.”

“May I know what you went back to get?” Madeline asked.

Naya quickly took out the brooch she picked tip from the gutter of the parking lot from her bag. “I went back to get this! I dropped my brooch there. I’m not lying.”

“But, how did your brooch get there?”

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2283

“But, how did your brooch get there?”

Naya was stumped by Madeline’s question. At that moment, she was speechless. Her jaw dropped open and she did not know what to say.

Yeah, how did her brooch get there?

Why was it in Ava’s parking space downstairs of Ava’s apartment?

Naya’s train of thought was disrupted at that moment. She did not know what to say anymore. However, if she kept silent, they would think that she was tacitly admitting to this. She would not allow herself to be brought away like this.

“Heh.” Naya scoffed after she came back to her senses.

“Is it strange for my belonging to have dropped there? I walked past that place recently and wanted to have a cup of coffee all of a sudden, so I stopped my car in the parking lot to go to a café nearby. I must have dropped my brooch then.”

“Then may I know which café you went to?” the police officer asked.

Naya rolled her eyes and continued to explain, “I stopped the car and took a few steps. Suddenly, I didn’t want to drink coffee anymore, so I drove back.”

Naya’s explanation sounded very far-fetched and was not convincing at all.

However, Naya knew that the parking lot in Ava’s apartment was pretty run-down and most of the surveillance cameras were just there for decoration. One did not need a resident’s access card to enter the apartment’s parking lot, so even though her explanation sounded fake, no one could expose her. However, Madeline seemed to know that Naya would come up with such an outrageous explanation. She smiled and said.

“Miss Mendez, you must have remembered it wrong. The brooch in your hand didn’t end up in the parking lot that way.”

When Naya heard this, she felt that Madeline might have obtained some more evidence. She pretended to be calm. “Eveline, what are you trying to say now?”

“Nothing. I just want to tell you that the reason the brooch was in the gutter is that I was the one who put it there.”

“Huh?”

When Naya heard this answer, she was stunned. “Eveline, what did you say? I accidentally dropped it there. How did you…”

“I placed it there.” Madeline did not want to argue with her, so she opened the laptop once again and played the footage she captured before Naya came to the parking lot.

The scene showed that Jeremy was the one taking the video. One could see Madeline holding Naya’s brooch as she squatted and put it in the gutter. Then, she tried to adjust the position of the brooch in the gutter.

When Naya saw that, her face turned dark. She did not expect this to be a trap!

She fell into the trap Madeline and Jeremy had set for her.

“Do you see it now? Do you see how the brooch got there?” Madeline asked with a smile.

Naya could not accept this and felt that this was strange. How did her brooch end up with Madeline?

However, Madeline immediately saw through Naya’s thoughts. “Are you curious about why your brooch was with me? It’s not strange at all because that’s not your brooch.”

‘What?’

Not hers?

Naya widened her eyes and stared at the brooch between her fingers.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2284

She remembered that when she bought this brooch, it was a limited edition and there were not many socialites or rich women in the upper class who owned it. Plus, there was a custom engraving at the back. How could it not be hers?

As she was thinking to herself, Naya suddenly turned the brooch to look at the engraving. To her surprise, the initials engraved on the back were actually Mrs. Graham’s name.

Naya was stunned.

This brooch was actually the fake she gave to Daniel’s mother.

Daniel’s mother also reacted when she looked at the brooch. “I have this brooch too. It looks like the one you gave me back then.”

“That’s right, Mrs. Graham. This brooch is the fake Naya gave you back then. I asked for it from my appraiser friend.” Madeline explained with a smile, her sharp eyes falling on Naya’s bewildered face.

“Miss Mendez, it’s probably because you had a guilty conscience at the time, so you didn’t notice that this brooch is actually the fake you gave to Mrs. Graham. You didn’t even bother to look at the engraving on the back of the brooch when you saw it. When the brooch showed up in the parking lot, you only had one thought. And that was to take away the incriminating evidence you thought you left behind at the scene.”

As Naya was faced with Madeline’s sharp and domineering accusations, Naya pursed her lips tightly. She did not know how to explain this. She knew that she had fallen into a trap. Madeline might have prepared an impeccable countermeasure no matter what she said now. If this went on, her crimes would be confirmed.

After thinking quickly for a few seconds, Naya pretended to be calm and laughed. She avoided Madeline’s sharp gaze and looked at the two police officers.

“Officers, I’m willing to cooperate with you to assist in the investigation, but what I want to emphasize is that what Eveline said just now is just her self-righteous speculation. I will not accept these accusations against me. I want to see my lawyer and sue Eveline for slander.”

Naya changed from being passive to active. She then left with the police under the watchful eyes of the public.

As soon as Naya left, Daniel’s mother took the appraisal report from Madeline’s hand and took a closer look. She felt more and more annoyed as she read through the documents as they were all fakes. She thought that at least one of them would be real, but there was none.

“I didn’t expect this at all,” Daniel’s mother complained extremely unhappily.

“Yeah, the act of deliberately trying to murder someone is really unexpected.” Madeline’s tone became a little more serious. “If Dan really marries such a woman, who knows if she’ll come up with a plan to kill you if you piss her off one day?”

Daniel’s mother felt a chill run down her back when she heard this, but she still had to keep calm. “The police haven’t convicted her yet, so how can you insist that Naya was the one who did it? Although she’s unruly and willful, she wouldn’t kill someone. Would you kill someone if you hate them? That’s absurd.”

“It’s absurd that there are people in this world who are genuinely this insane.”

Ava really could not continue to be a bystander anymore. She looked solemnly at Daniel’s mother with a gloomy face.

“I know you don’t like me very much, and you only chose to accept me later because you learned I have a wealthy mother. You can continue to not accept me, but you’re an adult with an IQ. Are you really going to turn a blind eye to the real murderer just because you want to win this fight with me?”

After Ava said these words, her eyes turned red. She loved Daniel so much, but it seemed that Daniel’s mother did not. She seemed to care about her reputation more. Otherwise, why would she still protect Naya?

Daniel’s mother did not speak anymore. Madeline held Ava’s hand to comfort her and found that Ava’s palm was cold.

She wanted to tell Ava that the matter would come to an end soon and that Naya would be charged, but she received incredible news in the afternoon.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2285

Madeline rushed to the police station as soon as she learned of the news. When she was about to go in, she saw Naya swaggering out of the door followed by an impeccably dressed man who seemed to be a lawyer.

Naya also spotted Madeline at this time. She raised a smug smile and walked to Madeline step by step.

“This is expected of you, Mrs. Whitman. You’re really well-informed. I think you must be very unhappy to see me standing here now, right? But I’m very happy to see you.” Naya’s tone was full of irony, and the corners of her mouth were raised in a complacent smile.

“I’ve long said that the police are fair and impartial. I’m innocent and can’t be slandered by someone who claims to have found evidence. Mrs. Whitman, I understand that you want to help your friend, but the fact is that I didn’t do it.”

Naya’s smile became smugger and smugger. She was also looking at Madeline with provocation.

“Mrs. Whitman, you mu st be wondering what’s going on, right? If you have any questions, go to the police and they’ll give you the answer.” Naya smiled and turned back to the lawyer beside her.

“Mr. Luschek, let’s go. Come to my house for dinner tonight My father said that he has been wanting to change the team of lawyers in our company’s legal department, so he wishes to talk to you about it.”

The lawyer immediately smiled when he heard this. “Thank you for your care, Miss Mendez. I’ll be there.”

Naya nodded in satisfaction and followed the lawyer into a car that had been waiting on the side of the road. She never gave Madeline a chance to refute.

Madeline did not want to waste her breath on Naya either. After she watched Naya get into the car, she turned around and walked into the police station. Madeline found the two young police officers who took Naya away earlier. After asking them, she found out that Naya was not released on bail. Instead, she came to the police station to assist with the investigation, which meant that Naya was not a suspect.

Madeline did not understand because things seemed to be going off track.

When Madeline wanted to inquire, the senior police officer in charge of the case showed up. He politely invited Madeline to his office and explained the situation.

“Mrs. Whitman, our higher-ups are very concerned about this case. We’re even more desperate than you to find out the truth, but Naya Mendez really has nothing to do with this matter.”

“Why do you say that?” Madeline asked, going straight to the point. She handed over the information that she and Jeremy had gathered. “It can be seen from these materials that Naya is the most suspicious person in this case.”

The police officer just smiled politely after listening to Madeline’s words and looking through her information.

“I’ve already read all these materials, Mrs. Whitman. Although Naya’s explanation is a little far-fetched, these materials are not strong enough evidence for us to convict her. We have no substantive evidence to prove that Naya was ever in Ava Long’s car, and there’s no evidence to prove that Naya tampered with Ava’s car.”

Madeline’s heart sank at the officer’s answer. When she wanted to ask more in detail, the police officer said he had to take care of some matters and left. Of course, it was not good for Madeline to continue to get in the way of the officer, but she kept feeling that this was very strange.

Judging from Naya’s reaction at the time, she was definitely the one who tampered with the brakes. Naya‘s proud smile just now also revealed her smugness at being able to get away with this.

When Madeline walked out of the gate of the police station, she found that it was already late.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2286

The gray sky looked so deserted and hazy without the golden halo of the sunset.

Madeline could not help but think of the scene where she was wrongfully imprisoned. Did she still have to watch as right and wrong became distorted like this?

In addition to that, this was happening around her. Ava and Daniel were her good friends, so she had no reason to just be a bystander.

Madeline told Jeremy about it after returning home.

Jeremy frowned. “It’s indeed strange. Naya was obviously the one who did it but the police let her go so easily,” Jeremy said with a faintly sarcastic smile. “There are really many gray areas in this world.”

“Jeremy, do you mean…”

“Linnie, don‘t worry. Since this incident happened under my nose, I won’t let it go into any gray areas. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Jeremy held Madeline’s hand, and his gentle eyes were filled with endless doting and caring.

“It makes me feel so distressed to see you running around these past few days because of this incident.”

Madeline smiled slightly. “I have you to pamper and protect me, so I don’t feel tired or troubled at all. But it’s not the case with Ava. We don’t know when Dan will wake up, and I’m really worried seeing Ava looking so lost every day.”

Jeremy was also quite powerless when it came to this. He would help if he could, but now, all he could do was comfort Madeline.

“Linnie, trust the doctor. Daniel will emerge out of this peril safely. We haven’t attended his and Ava’s wedding yet, so he won’t stay asleep forever.”

With Jeremy’s words, Madeline suddenly felt less uncomfortable. However, she did not tell Ava about Naya’s supposed innocence for the time being. She was worried that Ava would become more irritable when she found out.

In order not to let Madeline worry about this, Jeremy went to understand the situation in person the next day. However, he got an even more unexpected result. The gangster who was hired by Chloe suddenly pleaded guilty. If that man pleaded guilty, it would mean that Naya was innocent.

Jeremy found the person in charge of the case and met the thug who pleaded guilty.

The thug did not know Jeremy but had heard of Jeremy’s name. Therefore, when Jeremy asked him if his confession was true, the man nodded.

“I did it. I broke into the woman‘s car and tampered with the brakes. I was the one who did it, alright?”

“Then why did you keep denying it before?” Jeremy’s tone became colder.

“I… I was afraid. I was afraid I would go to jail if I pleaded guilty,” the man stammered.

Jeremy’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. “Then why are you pleading guilty now?”

“I…” The man paused, a spark of emotion flashing across his face. Then, he stammered, “I didn’t want to do it either. I heard from the police that the victim is very seriously injured and he may never wake up for the rest of his life. After I heard it, I felt very sorry for that man. I have a guilty conscience. I was being tormented every day, so I chose to plead guilty in the end…”

Toward the end of the sentence, the man’s voice gradually became softer as if he had really received the condemnation of his conscience. He even looked very guilty.

However, to Jeremy, that did not seem like the case. He left the police station and made a phone call as soon as he got in the car.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2287

Jeremy’s assistant, Ken, quickly looked into this thug’s connections and relationships as per Jeremy’s orders. After he found out, Jeremy coincidentally arrived at the company. Ken respectfully handed the information he gathered to Jeremy and reported it to him clearly.

“Mr. Whitman, I’ve already looked into everything. This thug’s parents are in the countryside, and he has one younger sister who works in Glendale. His family has not met any strangers in recent days and their accounts have not received any transactions from unknown sources.”

After listening to Ken’s report, Jeremy frowned slightly. He was not very satisfied with the results of this investigation. According to his speculation, Naya should have paid off the thug to bear the crime but it did not seem to be the case. However, Jeremy still thought that there was something wrong with this. When he was about to investigate deeper, Madeline arrived.

Madeline looked like she was in a hurry as she ran straight to Jeremy. “Jeremy, is this true? Did that thug plead guilty?”

Jeremy nodded. “He did plead guilty. I went to see him just now and he confessed to the charge.”

“Naya must have done something for this sudden change to happen.” Madeline made this guess without a doubt.

Jeremy also agreed with Madeline’s speculation, but they currently had no clues and evidence to prove that Naya was involved.

Madeline did not know how to tell Ava this news, but there was no way to hide it. Therefore, Madeline told Ava everything truthfully. Ava and Madeline had the same idea. The thug was just a scapegoat, but at present, they could not do anything about it. For the next half a month, Ava devoted herself to taking care of the unconscious Daniel. Naya never showed up again.

Since the thug had pleaded guilty to the car accident, the prosecution was successful and happened very quickly. The court date was quickly determined.

When the day came, Ava hired a carer to take care of Daniel while she went to court. She wanted to see with her own eyes what the scapegoat would say in court.

After arriving at the court, Ava joined Madeline and Jeremy. They sat in the gallery together, but to their surprise, Naya appeared.

Naya came with Daniel’s parents. She was adorned in branded clothes and had a dashing posture. She seemed to have gone on a vacation somewhere for the past half month and looked amazing.

Naya also spotted Madeline and Ava. She raised her arrogant eyes nonchalantly and sat down with Daniel’s parents in the gallery on the other side.

Madeline really could not understand how Daniel’s mother’s brain worked. Naya was obviously not a good woman who was kindhearted and knew her place, but Daniel’s mother seemed to be blind. She could not tell the difference between right and wrong.

Madeline held Ava’s hand lightly and found that Ava’s hand was cold. She raised her eyes to look at her only good friend and realized that Ava had lost a lot of weight these days. She was taking care of Daniel herself every day. It was only natural that she lost a lot of weight. However, Ava did not seem to notice that not only had she lost a lot of weight, but her complexion was also a lot worse. Right now, Daniel was the only thing occupying her brain. If Daniel were to remain sleeping forever, Ava would probably silently wait for him just like this.

Madeline felt sorry for Ava, but at the same time, she also felt powerless.

Soon, it was time for the trial. After a while, Chloe and the thug were both standing on the dock.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2288

Compared to her bright and beautiful image on the internet, Chloe could only be described as dull and haggard now. She had completely lost her brilliance from before. She and the thug stood on the dock with their heads down, both of them looking listless and desolate.

Since Chloe had admitted that she did hire the thug and the thug also admitted to tampering with the brakes, they were quickly convicted. However, after she was convicted and knew that she would be imprisoned for the next seven years, Chloe raised her head suddenly. She could not keep her cool.

“I want to appeal! I have to appeal!” Chloe yelled hysterically. “I only pretended to promise Naya to get someone to tamper with Ava’s car, but I told this thug not to do it! I didn’t know that he would really do it! I’m not the mastermind, and the car accident has nothing to do with me. I’m innocent!”

“Silence!” The judge hit the gavel. “Defendant, please calm down.”

“How can I be calm?” Chloe roared. “I’m not guilty at all. I just… I just accepted some money. I can return all the money!” She roared, and her eyes suddenly landed on the gallery. She searched for a while, and finally, she found Naya.

“Naya, it’s because of you that I became like this. How can you sit there so indifferently? I’ve done so many things for you, yet you’re not even helping me!”

When Chloe screamed that, everyone’s eyes fell on Naya.

Madeline and Ava also looked at her, but Naya seemed to be prepared. She was very calm, and at the same time, she showed a wronged and innocent expression.

“Chloe, I’m really sad that you’ve gotten yourself in this situation. But you have to ask yourself. Did I instigate you to do these things? Yes, I have beef with Ava, but I’ve never thought about murder. All this while, it was you who encouraged me and it was you who gave me ideas to deal with her. I’m a victim too.”

“What?! You’re a victim?!” Chloe seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke ever, but no matter how she argued or how hysterical she was, Naya still sat in the gallery calmly.

After the final verdict, both Chloe and the thug were taken away. Naya walked out of the courtroom swaggering as if nothing had happened.

Ava and Madeline felt a weight on their hearts after hearing the verdict.

It was obvious that Naya was the real murderer, but now, Chloe and that thug had taken the blame for her.

When Jeremy went to the parking lot to get the car, Madeline and Ava walked toward the gate together. In the distance, they saw Naya standing alone at the gate as if she was waiting for them.

When she saw that Madeline and Ava were coming, Naya raised a bright smile to face Madeline and Ava.

“This matter has finally come to an end. The judge is very fair. Those who did bad things were finally punished,” Naya said with a grin.

Ava stared coldly at Naya’s smiling face and said with insinuations, “The bad guys will definitely be punished. It’s just a matter of time.”

Naya knew that Ava was talking about her, but she did not care or panic at all because the case had been settled. The scapegoats had been arrested.

“Maddie, let’s go. Let’s not waste our breaths on this kind of person.” Ava grabbed Madeline and wanted to leave. Just then, her phone rang.

When she saw that it was Raegan, Ava hesitated for two seconds before answering it. When she heard what Raegan said, Ava’s eyes turned red.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2289

Seeing that Ava‘s mood was not right, Madeline stepped forward worriedly. “Ava, what happened? Why are you crying?”

Ava fell into Madeline’s arms and hugged her tightly. “Maddie…”

“Ava..:” Madeline did not know what was going on. She just hugged Ava tightly and stroked her shoulder to comfort her. “What happened? Stop crying.”

Naya stood by with a puzzled face. She was still complacent about this victory a moment ago, but now, she was also curious about what had happened to Ava. However, Naya felt great seeing Ava so sad and crying. Before she could feel happy for long, she suddenly heard Ava crying with excitement, “Maddie, Danny’s awake! He’s awake!”

‘What? Dan is awake?’ Naya’s eyes widened in amazement, and after getting this information, she immediately ran out.

Madeline was also full of surprises at the moment. She did not care about Naya at all. She held Ava’s hand tightly, and their joyful eyes met.

“Really? Is Dan really awake?”

“Yeah!” Ava nodded again and again.

“Then let‘s hurry back to the hospital.” Madeline took Ava‘s hand and turned around. Right then, Jeremy drove the car in front of them.

Ava did not say a word and followed Madeline into the car. Jeremy was very happy to learn that Daniel had woken up. He sped up the car and they arrived at the hospital not long after.

When Madeline was waiting for the elevator with Ava, she could feel Ava‘s nervousness. Ava impatiently watched the elevator slowly descend floor by floor. She wanted to run up the stairs, but Madeline held her back. There would be more than ten floors. If she ran up, she would be utterly exhausted. Five minutes later, Madeline and Ava took the elevator to the correct floor.

In the distance, Ava saw Raegan standing at the door of the ward with a worried expression. Raegan was about to call Ava again, but when she heard footsteps approaching, she turned around and saw Ava. She walked over immediately.

“Ava, you’re finally here.”

“Danny really woke up, right?” Ava’s eyes were full of urgency as she walked toward the ward uncontrollably.

Raegan followed closely, but there was a look of sadness in her eyes. “Dan is awake, but…”

Before she could hear what Raegan said, Ava quickly ran into the ward. However, when she got inside, Ava saw Daniel’s parents and Naya around the bed. They managed to rush to the hospital a step ahead of her.

Of course, Ava did not mind who went to the hospital sooner to see Daniel. As long as Daniel woke up safely, she would be happy enough. Her eyes uncontrollably turned red again, and she was very emotional. There were many words that she wanted to say to Daniel, but her emotions could only be expressed through her eyes right now.

Daniel was half-lying on the hospital bed at the moment. His gaze that was on somewhere else suddenly met Ava’s teary eyes.

Naya and Daniel’s parents also noticed Ava coming in at this time. Daniel’s father did not react, while Daniel’s mother and Naya rolled their eyes in unison. Naya looked a little more arrogant. Her eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

It was because she knew that as long as Ava stood in front of Daniel, she would be the winner even if she did not do anything.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2290

It was because Daniel loved Ava.

Ava held back her tears and approached Daniel step by step. Her heart beat more enthusiastically and wildly with every step closer to him. She looked at his handsome and fair face under the lights. Although she had lost a lot of weight, the gentle look in her eyes was still the same.

He was also looking at her, and although he did not speak, he was still able to leave an impact on her heartbeat.

Ava could not express the joy and excitement in her heart. “Danny.” Ava finally called out Daniel’s name, her voice trembling slightly. “Danny, it’s great that you finally woke up.”

Ava leaned over and squeezed Daniel’s hand tightly. This grasp seemed to surprise Daniel very much. He even reflexively pulled his hand back the moment Ava clenched him tightly.

Ava was stunned by Daniel’s action, and so was Madeline, not to mention Daniel‘s parents and Naya. Daniel was clearly resisting Ava. However, how was that possible?

“Danny?” Ava looked at Daniel inexplicably, feeling a chill in her heart. “Danny, what’s the matter?”

Daniel frowned slightly, but his eyes were pure and clear. He looked at Ava with doubts in his eyes. “Do we know each other?”

“…”

Daniel’s rhetorical question undoubtedly shocked everyone in the ward. However, Raegan, who was standing at the door of the ward, sighed helplessly. She knew that Ava was going to have a hearing today, so she came to the hospital earlier.

When she arrived, she saw the attending doctor and the nurse in the ward. After she went in, she realized that Daniel had already woken up. However, something was not quite right. He seemed to have forgotten a lot of people and things. He seemed to also not remember what had happened before he went into a coma. He only remembered that his name was Daniel and not anything else.

The doctor guessed that his brain might have suffered a severe concussion during the car accident, which led to temporary amnesia. They would still have to observe him to know more about his recovery. The doctor could not come to a firm conclusion right now either. Then, Raegan immediately contacted the expert she knew before continuing to wait for Ava’s arrival.

However, Daniel‘s parents and Naya were the ones who came first. Ava arrived less than a minute after they went into the ward.

Just when she was about to tell Ava about the situation, Ava headed straight in as she could no longer wait. When she saw this scene, Raegan felt very bad.

After discovering that Daniel had lost his memory, Daniel’s parents were very emotional and irritable. However, Naya secretly smiled after she recovered from her shock.

Daniel did not know Ava anymore, which meant she could take advantage of the opportunity. It had been two days and Ava still could not accept Daniel’s amnesia. However, she had no choice but to face it.

Sitting on the bench downstairs of the hospital, Ava seemed to not feel anything even when gusts of cold wind blew on her. Madeline sat beside her, not knowing what to say other than words of comfort.

“Ava, Dan’s amnesia is only temporary. When his body fully recovers, he’ll naturally remember everything. Don’t be too pessimistic.”

After listening to Madeline‘ s comforting words quietly, Ava suddenly sighed and smiled. “I’m not being pessimistic. I’ve been through so many difficulties. As long as Danny is safe and sound, that’s enough.”

“It’s good that you think this way.” Madeline also sighed in relief. “Let’s go visit Dan now and let him get to know us again.”

“Okay.” Ava raised an optimistic smile and followed Madeline back to the ward, only to see that someone was one step ahead of her.
