S31 109. Winning Ava’s Heart

Ava had difficulty opening her eyes. When she succeeded, two round faces flickered to watch her.

“I think Ava is awake. I saw her eyes peeking out earlier, and there was a little blink!” Emily described the movement with her index finger and thumb.

“But her eyelids haven’t lifted yet, Emily. Oh? You’re right. She’s blinking again!” Louis looked back. “Uncle, Ava is awake!”

Ava shook her head faintly. “Impossible.”

“Eva said that she left her phone in the taxi when she came home from my house. She also admitted that she wasn’t kidnapped.”

“But…. That picture…. Her voice on the phone….”

Jeremy squeezed Ava’s fingers. “I know this is strange, but she’s safe. You don’t need to panic anymore, hmm?”
