Chapter 82
Soren didn’t stay in the room for long. He returned to the hospital, planning to take Chelsea with him to leave this place and find an opportunity to deal with Ava later. 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 slapped Soren hard across the face, almost collapsing with the thought that she might not be able to protect Ava again. If it weren’t for Bud being in Fusceland, she would have lived with that guilt for the rest of her life.
“You’re such a villain. 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 villain. Good slap.” 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 plan had almost succeeded, leaving him unwilling to accept 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 the large 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 to comfort 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 for coming 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 overlapped with her last 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 place 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 to come to Fusceland again.”
She had been an only child growing up. Although her parents‘ relationship was poor, she was used to this family dynamic, so she didn’t want to engage in a messy relationship 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 plane headed toward Nathontown.
