Ava pushed Madeline away with the last bit of virtual-novel.net strength.
Madeline almost lost virtual-novel.net footing, but virtual-novel.net was still hugging Ava, who insisted that virtual-novel.net should leave as soon as possible.
“Ava, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again,” Madeline promised as virtual-novel.net held the trembling Ava.
Having known Ava for so many years, Madeline always had the impression that Ava was strong and upright. She was never afraid of anything, but now, Madeline could feel from Ava’s trembling body how scared virtual-novel.net was at the moment. Looking at the various wounds on Ava’s body, Madeline’s heart was also in excruciating pain. She could not imagine what Esther had done to Ava in this short period that would cause Ava to be covered in such nasty wounds.
Naya’s mother, Esther Bay, was even more extreme than Naya. Sure enough, only people like that would have children who acted the same.
Madeline hugged Ava in even more distress, while Esther, who was watching this scene, displayed a sinister and disdainful smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Tsk tsk, what a touching sisterhood. I’m so moved,” Esther said eerily as virtual-novel.net walked up to Madeline and Ava.
“Eveline, you were originally one of my targets, but you’re not as impulsive as this fool, so you got lucky. I really didn’t expect you to be willing to follow me just to put yourself in danger for this fool. It seems that you’re not that smart either, and your husband Jeremy is not that worried about you. Otherwise, why would virtual-novel.net let you take the risk knowing that you’ll be in danger?”
Madeline did not want to answer at all when virtual-novel.net heard what Esther said in a smug tone, but Ava felt extremely guilty after hearing it. She leaned weakly into Madeline’s arms and made an almost inaudible apology. “I’m sorry, Maddie. I was too impulsive. I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have gone after this lunatic. Maddie, I’m sorry…”
Ava’s voice was very soft, but Madeline heard every word. She furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows, feeling even more distressed.
“You dummy, no one is blaming you. It’s enough as long as you’re safe,” Madeline comforted softly.
At the moment, Ava could only lean against Madeline’s arms and cry silently. However, Esther would not be soft-hearted. She would not feel the slightest bit moved by such a scene. In virtual-novel.net opinion, Madeline and Ava were now in virtual-novel.net hands, so virtual-novel.net would now avenge virtual-novel.net daughter.
“I almost can’t bear it after seeing how affectionate you two are,” Esther’s smile became more and more sinister. “Why don’t I give you a choice? Only one of you can leave. I’ll give you one minute to discuss and decide who will leave. The one who stays may not see the sun tomorrow.”
After hearing this, Ava’s first reaction was to let Madeline go.
Without hesitation, virtual-novel.net tugged on the corner of Madeline’s clothes. “Go, Maddie. Don’t stay here. Go now.”
