That she was the one that hurt Ava… She shoved Ava while they were in the bathroom,
and Ava hit a
wall. That’s why Ava was bleeding. I’m also guessing it’s the reason why she fainted.” My
tone hardens
when I remember what Emma confessed.
It made me want to wrap my hands around her neck and choke the daylights out of her.
“That F***
F***ing spoilt brat,” Theo thunders furiously. “What have you done about it? I hope you
didn’t let her
go scot–free
“Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of things.” A smile plays on my l*ps. Emma will think twice
about ever hurting Ava again.
“Mr. Woods?”
We all turn to the nurse’s voice.
“Miss Ava is awake.”
We all audibly breathed a sigh of relief. I’d been afraid of her not waking up.
Her parents stand up

“Can we see her?” Nora asks eagerly.
“Maybe in a minute,” she says, turning to face me. “She’s asking for you.”
I nod my head and follow the nurse as she leads me to Ava’s room. After opening the door
and letting me in, she leaves.
Walking slowly towards her bed, I notice that even though she looks drowsy, she also
looks on edge. Like she is worried about something.
“I’m sorry,” she blurts out the moment I sit down and take her hand.
I’m astounded. Not really sure what she was apologizing for. I mean, she has done nothing
wrong.
For what?” I ask cautiously.
might have aggravated Emma… I don’t know what came over me when I said what I said.
She looks so worned and scared. It puzzled me because I didn’t understand how what she
told Emma had to do with her apologizing,
fou tell herr
“She kept telling me how you belong to her and that I should stop using my amnesia to
force you to Stay with me. I don’t know what came over me. I got angry and told her If
indeed you were hers, then why did you always come home to me every day since I woke
up?”
I couldn’t help it. The chuckle escaped my l*ps without meaning to. She looked so
adorable that I wanted nothing more than to k*ss her.
“It’s not funny,” she frowns at me.
“It kind of is, Ava.”
Sighing tiredly, she lets go of my hand and places hers on top of the blanket.
“I know you’ve never liked it when I antagonized her. I’m really sorry for that. We’ve been
doing so great,
and I don’t want that to affect us.”
It finally hit me why she looked worried. In the past, I would have gone off on her for that. I
would have
gotten arigry and said some really mean things to her. She expected that to happen. She
expected me to
be mad at her.
I cup her cheek softly before gently placing a k*ss on her l*ps.
“You don’t have to apologize for telling her the truth, Ava. I don’t want her and if I did, I
would be with her

mind, and soul want. No one else. So you were right. I come home to
you every day because that’s where I want to be. With you, Noah and Iris.”
She visibly relaxes.
“You really mean that?”
I simply nod, letting her see the truth in my eyes. “With every beat of my heart.”
Thank you…Now I can sleep in peace. I was worried that incident would cause friction
between us,” she murmurs through a yawn.
“Get some rest, my love… I’ll be here when you wake up.”
Within seconds, she’s completely out. I continue watching her as she sleeps while
thanking my lucky
stars for giving me a second chance with her.
twas contemplating all the things I was going to do to make it up to when my phone rings.
Bait Task in irritation.
bbes Emma has been arrested..one of my men answers
You know what to do next.”
“Yes, boss”
“Good”
With that, I hang up and smile to myself. The arrest is just the beginning.
