“Dan wasn’t in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I’ll go to the nurse’s station and ask.”
“Wait.”
Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.
“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It’s obvious that you’re not suitable for the Grahams. So no matter how much you like Dan or how much Dan likes you, you can’t marry into our family.”
After listening to Gina’s words, Ava felt speechless for a while, other matters aside, could she be blamed for what happened to Naya and her mother?
She and Daniel were both victims. Even if people like Naya had not done those bad things, they would still commit other crimes sooner or later. It was because Naya was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve her goals.
The situation was very clear, but Gina still insisted on blaming Ava. Ava did not want to waste her words arguing with her.
“I’m going to the nurse’s station,” Ava replied, turned around, and left.
Of course, Gina did not let Ava go like this and hurried to follow her.
Ava did not care about Gina following her. She just wanted to know where Daniel was.
She was worried and wondered if his condition had suddenly deteriorated, so he was taken to the emergency room. Did something unexpected happen? In short, her heart was feeling restless.
However, Gina had always doubted Ava and thought that Ava was acting. She felt that Ava must know about Daniel’s current situation.
After arriving at the nurse’s station, Ava hurriedly asked the nurse on duty about Daniel’s situation. However, the nurse was shocked when she heard what happened.
“He was still there when I went to the ward ten minutes ago.”
“What?”
“What did you say? My son was still in the ward just now and now he’s gone? So you’re saying that he wasn’t taken away by the medical staff?”
Gina cast her doubtful eyes on Ava again.
“Ava, just tell me the truth. You asked someone to take Dan away, didn’t you?” Ava looked at Gina with amusement. “Why would I do that?”
“You still have the nerve to ask that? So many things happened because of you.” Gina widened her eyes and started complaining about Ava. “You’ve always been here these few days. I’m so annoyed when I see you. You ìì ? ??
As she was complaining, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She stopped complaining and lifted her phone to take a look. Then, she saw that it was from her husband.
Gina answered the call without thinking. Before she said anything about Daniel, she heard her husband’s excited voice.
“When did Dan wake up? How did he get discharged from the hospital all by himself?”
“What? Dan got discharged by himself? Is he at home now?”
“He just went back to his room. You should come back right now! ”
“I’ll be right back!”
Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.
“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”
Despite Gina’s warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.
She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.
On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.
Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.
She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.
When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina’s sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? where did he go? D- Didn’t he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”
“Look at this and you’ll know what’s going on. 11 Daniel’s father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand something to Gina.
Ava quickly walked in while wondering what was going on with Daniel, but as soon as she stepped into the hallway, Gina’s face fell again when she saw Ava.
“I told you not to follow me. Why are you here? You’re not welcome here—”
“That’s enough. Just read this first.” Daniel’s father interrupted Gina and did not stop Ava from coming in. 1
Ava saw that Daniel’s father was looking at her with a very subtle expression and noticed he was not kicking her out, so she quickly walked over.
Gina was holding a sticky note in her hand, and there were a few short sentences written on it. It was a message addressed to Gina.
Daniel said that he actually woke up two days ago, but every time he woke up, he could only hear Gina either complaining or expressing her dislike toward Ava. Thus, he understood that Gina would never let Ava marry him. He did not want to disobey his parents but he also did not want to see Ava being scolded and wronged again, so he decided to be alone.
After reading this, Gina was extremely depressed. Just when she was about to say something, she saw her husband handing another sticky note to Ava.
“Dan wrote this for you. You should read it.”
Ava was stunned. When she was about to take it, Gina unexpectedly grabbed the note and read it one step ahead of Ava.
“Why are you giving this to her? She’s the one who caused this!”
Ava did not want to waste her breath, so she lowered her eyes to read the contents of the note.
[Ava, I’m sorry I didn’t do what I promised. I hope you can meet another man you’ll like in the future. I’ll never marry a woman other than you in my life. Good luck.]
“What? What is Dan saying? He won’t get married unless it’s with this bringer of misfortune?”
Gina was extremely startled.
After Ava read the note, her heart throbbed violently.
She did not even think before turning around to run out of the house.
“Hey, you bringer of misfortune, where are you going?” Gina yelled at Ava.
Daniel’s father frowned. “Follow her. She might know where Dan is.”
Before Gina could come back to her senses, she saw her husband running to the garage to start the car.
She crumpled the paper into a ball out of frustration and threw it to the floor. Then, she quickly followed behind her husband.
Old Master Graham just came back from exercising. When he saw Gina running out hurriedly after throwing something to the floor, he quickly asked the servant to pick it up. After reading the contents, he almost fell to the floor.
“What? He’s not going to get married for the sake of that woman?”
After Old Master Graham read Daniel’s message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.
‘ He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?
‘He even said that if he can’t marry that woman, he won’t get married in the future?’
Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.
However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.
If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?
‘I can’t let this happen.’
After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.
She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.
As time passed, Ava felt very tired, she sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.
‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?
‘Are we just going our separate ways just like this?’
Ava asked herself silently. The dazed feeling at the moment made her feel very helpless and confused.
At this moment, Niamh called.
Ava picked up her phone and informed her of Daniel’s current situation. After Niamh learned about it, she rushed to the place where Ava was.
When Ava saw Niamh, her eyes were red.
Niamh hurriedly comforted, saying, “Ava, I think Dan is just acting on a whim. He won’t really give up on you because of this.”
“He will.” Ava took a deep breath and calmed herself down. “His family definitely won’t accept me, especially Dan’s mother. A lot of things have happened these days, and they’ve all caused his family to have a deeper prejudice against me.”
“What happened had nothing to do with you. You’re the victim.”
“But they don’t think so. They think I’m a bringer of misfortune who implicates Dan time and again,” Ava said with a sigh.
Suddenly, she pulled the corners of her lips into a smile. “Perhaps, Danny and I are not destined to be with each other and I shouldn’t put him in the difficult position of a middleman.”
Niamh understood what Ava meant, but she still wanted to persuade Ava.
“Ava, no matter what, let’s find Dan first. Even if you two really part ways, he has to give you a clear explanation instead of just walking away like this and escaping the problem.”
Ava nodded in agreement, she looked as if she was relieved and smiled. “Niamh, you’re right. Since we’re going to part ways, then we should make it clear and give each other an explanation.”
Judging from what Ava said, it seemed that she had decided to respect Daniel’s opinion.
However, Niamh also knew that even if Ava agreed, she would still be reluctant to leave Daniel.
“Niamh, give me your phone. I’ll try calling Dan.”
Niamh handed her phone to Ava without saying a word, but the result was the same. Daniel did not pick up his phone.
Ava sighed in frustration, “Why is he hiding? Where else can he hide? I’ve searched everywhere I can.”
“Ava, don’t be so discouraged. Try recalling if there’s another place where you and Dan have memories together. Somewhere nostalgic for you two. No matter where it is, anywhere is possible as long as the place contains your shared memories.”
Niamh reminded Ava.
Ava fell into deep thought after she heard that. 1
Daniel’s parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.
“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It’s been so long and she still doesn’t know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.
Daniel’s father glanced at Gina, “stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor, what else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”
Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her.
“Didn’t you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation, why are you blaming me now?”
“Stop talking.” Daniel’s father interrupted.
Gina was even more dissatisfied, “why are you allowed to say it and I’m not…”
“They’re leaving.” Her husband reminded her and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to keep up. Finally, Gina shut her mouth.
A moment later, Niamh’s car stopped at the gate of Glendale University.
After the two got out of the car, they were brought back to the summer many years ago as they looked at the familiar building in front of them.
It was their first day in college, and at that time, they each bumped into the boy of their dreams who were a year older than them.
However, it took so long for them to wait until the day when they could finally get to know and fall in love with those boys.
“Ava, do you think Dan will be at Glendale University?” Niamh asked.
Ava shook her head and smiled slightly. “I can’t be sure, but just like you said, Niamh, he might linger at any place that contains the memories of the both of us. So if that’s the case, then I shall try my luck.”
As Ava said that, she walked toward the entrance.
Since the university was open, Niamh and Ava went in directly. They split up and looked around, but they still could not find Daniel anywhere.
It turned out that finding someone aimlessly was exactly like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was so difficult.
However, this also showed how precious it was for two people to meet and fall in love.
