Ava's answer shocked Raegan and Neil.
“Am I right?” Ava spoke again, looking at the two dazed people in front of her.
Raegan was quick to come back to her senses and quickly put down the fork in her hand. “Ava, this"
“Back then, you two colluded to deceive me. You left me alone next to the stall selling churros and
never returned. Today, both of you are still working together to deceive me again.”
Ava said with a sarcastic bitter smile on the corners of her lips.
“Do you really think of me as your daughter?” When Ava asked this, her eyes were full of
disappointment.
Raegan and Neil stood up nervously. “Ava, we didn't mean to lie to you. It's because ”
“Because you're afraid that if I know he’s my irresponsible father from back then, I’ll reject and refuse to
acknowledge him, right?”
Ava interrupted Raegan and asked coldly. Then, she laughed.
“Don't worry, I won't reject him. It’s a rare chance for Dr. Long to examine Dan, and that’s all I want. But
other than that, there’s no relationship between us.”
After decisively saying that, Ava turned around and left.
She picked up her bag and walked toward the door.
“Ava!”
“Ava!”
Neil and Raegan quickly chased after Ava at the same time.
“Ava, I didn't mean to lie to you. Really! When I first met you on the street, I didn't know that you were
my daughter. I was really happy to see you again, but I didn’t dare to face you...”
Neil's voice became softer and softer the more he spoke.
“Ava, I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness at all. As long as I can sit and have a meal with you and
chat with you, I'll be satisfied.”
Neil looked at Ava's back, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
After listening to Neil's words, Ava could not help clenching her fists.
She took a deep breath and slowly turned to face Neil and Raegan, who were both clearly
disheartened. “Actually, when we ate together last night, I already knew the truth but I told myself to
pretend not to. You’ re that irresponsible father whom I don’t want to face but you’re also the
neurologist who can help Dan. I’m really conflicted. Can you understand this feeling?”
After she said that, Ava turned around and strode away.
Raegan and Neil kept calling Ava's name to stop her, but they also knew that Ava would not look back.
The two of them looked at each other with self- blame and guilt in their eyes.
If they could do it all over again, they would definitely have chosen to stay.
No matter how hard their lives would be, they should make sure their family stayed together instead of
thinking that leaving would be the best arrangement for the child.
In fact, they were horribly wrong. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
After Ava left the apartment, she stood in the dark, not knowing what to do and where to go for a while.
There were so many grievances and distress in her heart that she wanted to talk to someone.
At this moment, the first person she thought of was Daniel, but she could not find comfort in hiding in
Daniel’s arms like before due to his current situation.
In Old Whitman Manor, Madeline was feeding her youngest son when she suddenly received a call
from Ava.
Upon hearing Ava's depressed voice on the other end, Madeline handed her son to Jeremy without
saying a word before driving to Ava.
She left Jeremy holding the little boy at the dining table while feeling dazed.
Madeline arrived at her destination according to the address given by Ava soon after.
The night wind in spring was not as cold as in winter, but it was still windy.
Madeline did not know why Ava would be in the area where they went to university back then. She
stopped her car and subconsciously came to the small restaurant where they used to drink together.
Ava was sitting by the window by herself at the moment, downing drinks after drinks.
Madeline hurried in and went to Ava's side. “Ava, what's wrong with you? Why are you drinking alone
here?
“Is it because of Dan? Is that why you’re drinking your sorrows away?”
Ava raised her blushing face. She looked at Madeline with her slightly bloodshot almond- shaped eyes
and smiled. “Maddie, you're here. Sit down, sit down.”
Ava pulled Madeline to sit beside her as if nothing had happened.
Madeline was worried that Ava was drinking too much, so she reached out to put all the glasses out of
Ava's reach.
“Ava, tell me what happened. Why did you come here to drink alone? Is it because of Dan? Don't be so
sad. Dan will be fine. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I’ll always be by your side to support
you and help you, Ava.”
Madeline held Ava's hand with concern and asked worriedly.
Ava still wanted to drink her sorrows away, but when she heard Madeline's concerned words, she
broke down in an instant.
“Maddie...” Ava buried her face into Madeline’s shoulder and started sobbing uncontrollably. “ Maddie,
what should I do? What the hell should I do?”
Madeline patted Ava’s shoulder in distress. “ Don’t cry. There’s a solution to everything. If the problem
is very difficult, then we’ll think of a way together. Don’t cry. I’ll always be here. You won’t be alone no
matter what.”
Madeline comforted Ava sincerely, and Ava started crying even louder now. The customers who were
eating at one side, as well as the servers, were all looking at Madeline and Ava curiously. They al]
subconsciously thought that Ava was very drunk.
After a while, Ava finally stopped crying.
