Mrs. Connor was stunned to see the couch. Ava curled up there. Instantly, her memories were sucked into the past.

Ava used to do that a lot, sleeping on the couch. She always did it after every fight with Eva. Little by little, tears gathered on Mrs.

Connor’s eyes.

“Ava?”

Ava flinched at that voice. She turned around and immediately sat up.

“Mom?”

Behind the wheelchair, Jeremy gave her a smile. Then bowing, he patted Mrs. Connor on the shoulder.

“When you’re done, ask Ava to call me. I’ll wait downstairs with the others.”

Mrs. Connor nodded slightly. After Jeremy exited and closed the door, her gaze locked on Ava.

“Mom?” Ava’s eyes fluttered in confusion. “Why did you come up here

“Why are you sleeping on the couch? Why don’t you just lie down on the bed?”

Ava blinked. She didn’t understand the reason either. Her body immediately looked for the couch when she wanted to lie down.

“That’s… because my clothes are dirty. I came from outside earlier.”

Mrs. Connor knew Ava made that answer up. As her breathing grew heavier, her tears thickened.

“Where did you go? To meet Eva?”

Ava froze. Her hands subconsciously clenched tightly. “You already know?”

Mrs. Connor nodded. Ava immediately dropped her knees. Her head bowed. Her hands squeezed each other.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I never thought that Eva could suffer such a big misfortune. I regret that I sent her away earlier. If only I had given in again, none of this would have happened. The boutique would still be standing.”

Not getting an answer, Ava peeked. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the gloomy face.

“I’m really sorry, Mom,” she continued before choking. “I realize this is my fault. I was selfish. I was the one who dragged Eva into danger. Therefore, I will take responsibility.”
