A Lifetime With You

Chapter 45

Selden quickly supported her and wanted to bring her back to the bed. She turned her face away as her tears cascaded uncontrollablù down her face. At this moment, Damien came in. Damien was not informed by Jessica as soon as the accident happened, so Ava had completed her surgery by the time he knew about it. He came with Selina. Damien saw Selden carrying Ava back to the bed when he entered the ward. His expression changed instantly.

Ava raised her head and saw both Damien and Selina standing at the door. Suddenly, Ava burst into laughter.

“Ava, don’t scare me…” Jessica was taken aback by her daughter’s laughter. Ava stared at Damien with a death glare. “Damien, our child is gone.”

He had known everything on the way to the hospital, so he just nodded. “Where were you when our child was killed, where?”

She continued to sneer.

Damien was with another woman at that time. He wasn’t even willing to rush to her as soon as he knew about the accident. When she saw Damien and Selina standing together, both of them looked perfect for each other! Suddenly, a metallic copper smell choked her throat and she vomited a mouthful of blood. “Ava!” Jessica exclaimed. Selden immediately helped her lie on the bed as he wanted to check on her physical condition. Damien took a step forward as he wanted to see her, but he was stopped by the doctors who came afterwards.

Ava went into a coma again.

“Let’s go out first to let the doctor take good care of Ava,” Selina said softly to Damien. 2 The ward was not spacious, so it was indeed packed with all the nurses standing there. Thus, Damien had no choice but to leave the ward temporarily.

Jessica was also persuaded by Selden to do the same.

Jessica had always tried her best to please Damien in the past. But, she could no longer hold in her anger anymore after such an accident happened to her daughter today. “Do you have any compassion? How can you bring another woman here when your wife had an accident? Do you deliberately want to upset her?” “Auntie, don’t get me wrong. We happened to be in the company when we heard the news and I

followed him here because I’m worried about Miss Nagel’s condition as well” Selina explained. Jessica glared at her coldly, “My daughter doesn’t need sympathy from her husband’s mistress.” “Watch your words! Ms. Newton is just my friend,” Damien replied coldly. “F*ck it! What kind of shitty friend is she? I don’t believe you!! must’ve been blind to let my daughter marry a douchebag like you!”

In the ward, Ava finally woke up after the resuscitation. Selden stood by her side as he was a doctor. Then, he quickly held her hands when he saw that her eyes had opened “Ava, how do you feel now?” Her abdomen was still cramping with unbearable pain. Besides, her face was very pallid and her glance fell at the door subconsciously.

Selden’s gaze seemed a bit dejected and he told her, “Your mother was furious and she chased Damien and Selina out, but…” Ava interrupted coldly, “I don’t want to see him, it’s good that he has left.” Selden didn’t continue his words.

However, Damien didn’t leave. Instead, he had stood alone in the corridor for quite long before she woke up. 2 “The effect of the anaesthetic is gone, so is it painful now?” He looked at her distressedly. D She turned away as her tears flowed down her cheeks and soaked the pillowcase.

Did it hurt?

Of course it hurt.

She could never get the things that she tried her best to attain.

Whether it was Damien or this child…

She closed her eyes.

She was so sleepy even though she just woke up. Then, she had a similar dream again. In that dream, she was still a naive, yet stubborn teenage girl. She fell in love sight with a boy and was determined to be with him despite everyone’s objections. But, she couldn’t control her feelings for him.

The thought of confessing to that boy had never flashed across her mind, as she knew that he would definitely reject her. The only thing she did every day was to wait and see him carrying his bag as he walked through the boulevard because she liked him so much.

But, she had never dared to strike up a conversation with him, not even once. 1

Later on, she studied extremely hard and managed to get into the same prestigious university as him. Then, she also joined took the same major as him. However, she could clearly fell that the huge distance between them with every step she took to

approach him. They were indeed from two different worlds. “Selden, you have known me for so long, don’t you feel that I’m always so ridiculous plus pitiful?” She asked abruptly.

Selden was startled for a moment before he smiled, “There are many people who are worse than you out there.” “Really? But there probably won’t be someone as dumb as me, right? @ “The world is so

big, so how can you be so sure about that?” Ava smiled bitterly and there was a lump in her throat. “I heard that Damien just forced the police to issue a nationwide arrest warrant for Beth to bring her to justice. Your father and stepmother begged mercy from him on Beth’s behalf, but they can’t even get the chance to meet him.” Selden hesitated a while before he decided to inform Ava about this.

Ava, who was drowsy, jolted awake and her mind cleared instantly when she heard Beth’s name.

Her eyes were wide open and they were filled with cold fury. “I will never let her go.”

Meanwhile, Beth had used some underhanded means to cover up her traces and no one could track her whereabouts.

The police had used a lot of manpower to bring Beth to justice and provide a justification to the Radbury family, who were very angry. However, their efforts were futile. Meanwhile, Keenan Nagel and Cecelia Jerrison had sought all possible help that they could to save their daughter from this huge predicament. However, everyone knew that Damien was extremely angry this time. Thus, no one dared to intercede for Beth.

Damien looked at his father in law, who was begging for his mercy, and said coldly,” I would’ve destroyed the entire Nagel family if it wasn’t because of Ava.” It then dawned on Keenan and his wife that someone truly cared about their illegitimate daughter, whom both of them had always neglected. Unfortunately, Ava was kept in the dark regarding these matters. Karen was throwing her tantrum in the Radbury family too, “I thought you have never cared about that woman. It’s pitiful that she lost her child, but aren’t you and Selina getting along well? Why don’t you just take this opportunity to divorce Ava and get engaged to Selina?”

“Mom, don’t intervene with my stuff.”

“Why shouldn’t I? I heard that you instructed the police to search for Beth and this has caused a rift in our relationship with the Nagel family. How about the business cooperation with their family, are you

planning to terminate it?” “If the Nagel family dares to protect Beth, I will certainly suspend all the contracts with them.” “Stop being ridiculous!”

Damien was very annoyed and he didn’t want to argue with his mother over this anymore. So, he left immediately.
