After the officer said that, the two of them walked directly to the hospital bed.
The police officers were serious as they looked at the weak-looking Naya. “Miss Mendez, please cooperate with us to answer a few questions.”
Naya raised virtual-novel.net eyelids laboriously, wanting to show that virtual-novel.net was unable to cooperate with the investigation due to virtual-novel.net current situation.
Naya’s mother understood what Naya meant and hurriedly explained to the officers, “Officers, my daughter has just woken up, so she’s still very weak. I‘m afraid virtual-novel.net can’t answer your questions. Can you let my daughter rest first?”
“Mrs. Mendez, before we came, we had already asked Miss Mendez’s attending doctor. The doctor said that Miss Mendez only suffered from superficial wounds and isn’t in a serious condition. As long as she’s conscious, she’s able to cooperate with our investigation.”
Naya’s mother glanced at Naya in embarrassment after hearing this. Naya also felt a little embarrassed, but virtual-novel.net still pretended to be very weak and slowly sat up. “Mom, I‘m fine. I’m not in that much pain now.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net looked at the two police officers beside virtual-novel.net with a good-natured look on virtual-novel.net face.
“Officers, you can just ask me anything you need to. I’ll try my best to cooperate with your investigation.”
The officers’ sharp eyes stayed on Naya’s calm face for a few seconds. Then, one of them asked directly, “We’ve checked the surveillance footage of the road at the time of the accident and found that you deliberately rammed into the other car with your car. The woman in the other car is severely injured, and she’s still in the emergency room now. Miss Mendez, why did you suddenly speed up and crash into Ms. Guzman’s car?”
After listening to the police’s question, Naya felt that virtual-novel.net mind was much clearer now. She was very glad that the person virtual-novel.net crashed into was not Ava. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have no excuse to quibble with the officer.
Naya responded pitifully and even squeezed out a few tears, “Officer, I… I don’t know what happened at the time. I seemed to lose control of my car back when I wanted to hit the brakes. Since my fiance’s house was right next to me, I wanted to slow down and go the other way, but I have no idea why the car suddenly accelerated. By the time I realized the seriousness of the situation, I had already hit the car…”
Naya said with a look of remorse and pain. Then, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net hand and covered virtual-novel.net face. “How could this happen? If they fail to rescue Ms. Guzman, then I’ll be a murderer. How did this happen?”
Naya was very good at acting, and virtual-novel.net tears only solidified virtual-novel.net act. She did look like virtual-novel.net was genuinely feeling remorseful.
Naya’s mother hurried over to comfort her. “Naya, don’t blame yourself too much. You didn’t want this to happen either. Maybe the brakes of the car are faulty. It’s not your fault, so don’t be too sad. Ms. Guzman will survive this.”
“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t gone to look for Dan, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s my fault…” Naya continued virtual-novel.net act, but the corners of virtual-novel.net mouth were secretly lifted.
While comforting Naya, Naya’s mother said to the police, “Officers, this must be an accident. Why would my daughter crash virtual-novel.net car into another car for no reason? What’s more, Ms. Guzman isn’t related to our family at all. I’ve never seen virtual-novel.net before. We have no beef nor grievances, so why would my daughter want to crash virtual-novel.net car into that person’s car? Don’t you think so?”
“But in the surveillance footage, we clearly saw Miss Mendez‘s car speeding up and crashing into Ms. Guzman’s car.” The officers emphasized, “We also saw how Miss Mendez had deliberately turned the steering wheel, causing the front of the car to hit Ms. Guzman who was in the driver’s seat.”
“I don’t know. I just felt that I had lost control of the brakes and steering wheel,” Naya quibbled. “Officers, you can look into this if you don’t believe me. I really have no reason to deliberately crash into Ms. Guzman…”
Before Naya could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from the door.
“Dan?” Naya was a little surprised. She thought that Daniel must have learned that virtual-novel.net had gotten into a car accident, so virtual-novel.net was here to see her. However, Daniel started questioning virtual-novel.net with a solemn and anxious expression.
“Naya, where’s Ava? You got someone to abduct Ava, right? What do you want? You want me to marry you, right? I’ll marry you as long as you let Ava go. Tell me where Ava is and I’ll marry you!”
