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!”

Jeremy appeared with furrowed eyebrows. “Ava? Can you hear me?” His hand stroked her shoulder, gently.

Ava groaned, “What happened?”

“You were rushed to the hospital because you fainted. Everyone panicked, including Uncle Jeremy. Actually, he was assigned to look after us. Because he wanted to see you immediately, we went along. Luckily, the teachers gave us permission.”

Emily nodded in support of her brother’s words. “Are you okay, va?” Her tiny fingers stroked her pale face.

Ava shook her head. “Eva….”

“You don’t need to worry. She’s fine.” Jeremy nodded, reassuring

The frown on Ava’s face instantly changed meaning. Before she asked, Emily pursed her lips. “You don’t need to be confused. Uncle Jeremy has taken care of everything.”

Jeremy let out a faint sigh. “Why didn’t you report the threat to me? If I had known from the start, you wouldn’t have suffered like this.”

With great difficulty, Ava tried to get up. Jeremy quickly helped her sit

“Is she okay?” Confusion clouded her face.

Suddenly, Jeremy grabbed Ava’s fingers. The twins’ eyes widened at the sight.

“Sorry. Seeing your condition earlier I was very worried. So, I checked your phone. I immediately sent people to investigate the matter and it turned out that your sister was working in her boutique. In good

condition.”

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?”
