Chapter 2429
"..."
What Madeline wanted to express was too obvious. Ava was not stupid, of course, she understood.
Just when Ava was staying silent, someone knocked gently on the door of the ward.
Madeline and Ava looked up at the same time and saw Neil in a white coat standing at the door hesitantly. There was a conflicted expression on his face. He was worried about Ava’s reaction to his appearance, but at the same time, he was expecting Ava to let him in.
Madeline glanced at the two people who were not speaking, smiled, and said, “Hello Dr. Long. Ava and I happened to be talking about you.”
Upon hearing that, Neil's expression became more natural, and a smile appeared on his face. “Really? What were you talking about?” He walked in while asking, his eyes shifting to Ava's face from time to time.
When he saw the wounds on Ava’s face, his heart ached, but he could not say anything to comfort Ava. It was as if he had lost the qualification to care about his daughter many years ago.
“Ava is worried about Dan's injury, so we wanted to find out about that from you,” Madeline said while looking at Ava.
Ava looked into Madeline’s eyes, she wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips and stopped herself.
Neil knew that Ava was worried about Daniel, so he did not hesitate and told her immediately, “Don't worry, Daniel only has some flesh wounds. But he lost a lot of blood and needs to replenish his blood to recover. However, everything else is fine, so you don’t have to worry.”
After getting a positive answer from Neil, Ava was completely relieved.
However, when she heard that Daniel had lost a lot of blood, her heart was still a little uncomfortable.
“Ava, h-how do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort? If so, you must inform Da—I mean, the doctor.” Neil seemed to have a slip of tongue. In his heart, he was longing for Ava to call him Dad.
However, what disappointed him was that Ava did not say anything, she did not even look at him.
After Neil left, Madeline stayed in the ward with Ava for half an hour. She only left after Ava lay down to rest.
After she walked out of the ward, she saw Neil and Raegan waiting at the door.
They wanted to take care of Ava, but they did not have the confidence or courage to face the child whom they had hurt in the past.
Madeline understood how Neil and Raegan were feeling, she smiled and comforted them, “I’ve told Ava what happened back then. Despite looking like she’s reluctant to believe it, I can sense that she wants to reunite with you guys very badly.”
“Really?” Neil and Ragean’s excited voices almost startled Ava, who was in the ward.
