Soren didn''t stay in the room for long. He returned to the hospital, nning to take Chelsea with him to leave this ce and find an opportunity to deal with Avater. The most important thing now was to ensure his own safety.


    As soon as he opened the door, he was confronted by a male police officer standing outside. Before he could shut the door. he was swiftly subdued by two officers.


    Mona and Maxwell came up from behind. Mona pped Soren hard across the face, almost copsing with the thought that she might not be able to protect Ava again. If it weren''t for Bud being in Fud, she would have lived with that guilt for the rest of her life. "You''re such a viin. People like you should end up in hell!" Mona shouted fiercely, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Soren..


    Soren knew that she was aware of the whole scheme to get Ava''s heart. Chelsea''s poor health had nothing to do with Ava. Ava shouldn''t get involved.


    "Yes, I''m a viin. Good p." At this point, he knew he had no chance left. By the time he got out of jail, Chelsea would likely no longer be around. But the n had almost seeded, leaving him unwilling to ept defeat.


    After Soren was taken away by the police, Maxwell noticed Mona''s red-rimmed eyes. He gently took her hand and asked softly. "Does your hand hurt? Leave the beating to me next time.


    Meeting Maxwell''s gentle gaze, Mona felt a bit relieved. "It doesn''t hurt. Let''s go check on Ava


    Maxwell nodded, and they went to the room that Bud had booked. As they entered, Mona immediately spotted Ava lying an therge bed, looking so peaceful in her ''sleep-


    "Don''t worry, Mona. She was just injected with a sedative. She''ll wake up soon" Bud reassured her, noticing the worry in her


    eyes.


    This was his first time meeting Mona in person, and she was even prettier than her photos. No wonder Maxwell has been so enamored with her for so many years, Bud thought. "Thank you for your help today, Bud," Mona said sincerely. Without him, she wasn''t sure she could have rushed in to save


    Ava.


    "It''s fine. Maxwell''s matters are my matters, and of course, your matters are also mine," Bud replied with a smile.


    Maxwell disliked Bud''s overly friendly demeanor. Since entering the room, Mona hadn''t even looked at him.


    At that moment, Maxwell noticed Ava''s hand move slightly and said, "Mona, she just moved her hand. She should be waking up soon.


    Upon hearing this, Mona nodded eagerly. She had sensed it too. Given the time, Ava shouldn''t wake up yet. Perhaps her will to survive was strong


    "Ava," Mona called out a few times, and slowly, Ava opened her eyes.


    Their gazes met, and Ava''s tears immediately streamed down. She had just dreamed of lying on a cold operating table, with harsh lights above her. Soren was hovering over her with a scalpel, saying, "Just a little longer. At that moment, she felt utterly helpless and couldn''t move at all. She didn''t want to die or lose her only heart. Faintly, she had heard Mona calling her name, which prompted her to fight to open her eyes. "It''s Okay, Ava. Don''t be afraid. The bad guy has been caught by the police, Mona said, gently wiping the tears from the corners of Ava''s eyes, trying tofort both her and herself.


    She thought. After living a second life. Ava finally has a good ending. She won''t die on that operating table;


    "Thank you foring to save me, Mona. I was so scared," Ava said. Then she looked at Bud, saying. "By the way. I still don''t know your name. Let''s get to know each other. I''m Ava, Mona''s close friend." Bud''s figure ovepped with herst view before losing consciousness, Ava knew that it was thanks to Bud that she was saved, and gratitude welled up in her heart.


    "No need to thank me. It was a small effort. My name is Bud Ray, and I''m Maxwell''s friend," Bud replied.


    Being looked at with such grateful eyes for the first time filled Bud with pride. He couldn''t help but smile as he spoke with


    Ava


    Mona watched the two of them and felt a bit out of ce standing there with Maxwell.


    After a moment, Mona recounted to Ava how Soren was taken away by the police and mentioned the half-sister she had.


    After she finished, there was a long silence in the room.


    Finally, Ava said, "No matter whether Chelsea is my half-sister or not, she has nothing to do with me. Mona, take me back. I don''t want toe to Fud again."


    She had been an only child growing up. Although her parents'' rtionship was poor, she was used to this family dynamic, so she didn''t want to engage in a messy rtionship even though she had a sister, Chelsea needed a heart, but Ava couldn''t help her, as she had only one heart herself. She was selfish.


    "Okay, we''ll leave once you''re out of the sedative," Mona said


    Mona didn''t like the sudden appearance of Ava''s sister, especially since she seemed intent on wanting Ava''s heart right from


    the start


    As dawn broke, a silver line cut across the blue sky as a ne headed toward Nathontown.


    Meanwhile, in the hospital, Chelsea learned that Soren''s mission had failed and he had been taken into custody. Soon, he would be transferred to Nathontown. Furious, Chelsea mmed everything on the table to the ground. She was in a state of deep despair. No one was there to help her. Chelsea thought, ''What am I going to do! I''m still so young and don''t want to o


    odie


    But she feltpletely helpless, finding it difficult even to get out of bed and walk a few steps.


    Is my life really going to end this way? I can''t ept it, Chelsea thought.


    Just then, there was a knock at the door. Chelsea looked up to see a man in a suit walk in. He looked at the sick person on the bed and said, "Chelsea?"


    "What do you want?" Chelsea weakly asked, afraid that he had something to do with Ava.


    "I want to cooperate with you. I can help you recover. The condition is that you must listen to my orders from now on," Gordon said, eyeing the frail woman on the bed.


    He had just been released from prison not long ago and had heard from his men that Maxwell had rescued a woman and sent a man to jail.


    He wanted to go against Maxwell. Anything that could irritate Maxwell was worth doing, even if it was just a heart. He was


    Ome trouble. willing to save this person and cause MaxwellConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
