Chapter 62
An eerie silence on the other end of the call, Reese continued, “The one who in your thoughts day and night!”
Suddenly, a piercing scream split the air, followed by a cacophony of crashing, like a cascade of falling objects.
Concern tinged Reese’s words. “Ava, what just happened?”
After a moment’s pause, Ava’s voice quivered, laden with pain. “Reese… I lost my footing and tumbled down the stairs!”
Reese’s complexion paled instantly. “Stay where you are. I’m dialing an ambulance and rushing to you!”
Panic surged within her. Ava lived alone, and the extent of her injuries remained an unsettling mystery.
A torrent of self–reproach flooded Reese’s thoughts. She understood the magnitude of Cole’s influence on Ava. She shouldn’t have been so rash in her remarks.
Reese called for an ambulance, hastily secured leave from work, and dashed to the hospital
At Ava’s residence, she lay on the floor, in great pain yet wearing a dreamy smile.
She had found him at last. Reese wouldn’t jest about something this crucial. If she claimed to have seen him, she undoubtedly had.
Recalling the moment she received the news, it was as if her mind went blank. She ambled downstairs in a daze, misjudging her step and subsequently tumbling.
Oddly, despite the recent perilous ordeal, she felt no fear now, overwhelmed instead by an inexplicable happiness that bordered on tears.
Reese reached the hospital, Ava having been gotten into the emergency room.
Anxiety etched her features as she waited outside, her nerves fraying like a taut thread.
After a seemingly endless hour, Ava emerged from the operating room.
Reese received the doctor’s report regarding Ava’s injuries – severe abrasions on her legs, a mild concussion, and a fractured left arm.
The assurance of no grave concerns brought a sigh of relief from Reese’s lips. As the nurse ushered Ava into the hospital room, Reese followed swiftly.

Ava’s eyes brimmed with emotion. “Really?”
The disappearance of Cole post university had haunted her for three years. The prospect of him voluntarily reentering her life was beyond her wilden kopen.
Reese nodded. “Yes, really. Now that he has already see me, there’s no need for him to keep hiding. Also the fact that he suddenly disappeared and changed his ornate is probably related to his family. I asked a bit this morning, but he didn’t want to talk about it mad So, then gou meet him.

“No problem. As long as he could come to meet me. I would be glad even if I don’t speak anything “Ava nodded earnestly
Looking at Ava, Reese’s heart ached Love could truly change someone
Upon their first meeting, Ava had worn an armor of ice, a demeanor of distance
Yet, with Cole’s reappearance, her emotions had blossomed into a labyrinth of complexity, and the once calm and collected Ava seemed a distant memory.
Cole, it seemed, was the catalyst of Ava, which could shift her emotional easily.
Reese’s tone shifted, a trace of irritation coloring her words. “You’ve gotten your answers. Now, it’s my turn. I merely mentioned seeing him, and you end up tumbling down the stairs! Do you realize how much I worry about you?”
Ava’s usually icy facade hore a rare smudge of guilt.
She bit her lip and looked apologetic. “I’m so sorry, Reese.”
Her mind went blank at that moment, and she had no idea what she was doing.
Reese stared at her helplessly, a blend of anger and concern warring within her, though current circumstances stymied her rage.
Meanwhile, on a nearby street, not far from Rivers Health Medical Center.

Seated in the Hummer, James rolled down his window and offered Elias a provocative middle finger.
“I did it on purpose. Got a problem with that?”
