Diana’s pov
The hotel’s monitoring could only record images and couldn’t record sounds.
But Nathan was not a fool.
After about half a minute, he sorted out what happened exactly.
He first glanced at the pearl bracelet thrown on the ground, and then his gaze fell on Avia’s trembling face.
“Avia, whose exactly is this bracelet?”
“I… I…” Avia trembled, unable to say a word.
Actually, there was no need to ask further.
If this bracelet was truly Avia’s mother’s legacy, how could she throw it on the ground like garbage and repeatedly crush it?
Nathan certainly knew it.
He just didn’t want to believe that his beloved Avia would be so vicious, so he wanted Avia to tell him in person.
Seeing Avia refuse to answer, Nathan’s eyes were gradually filled with disappointment.
Avia’s face became increasingly pale.
She kept shaking her head.
I thought the truth was clear enough by now.
I was even wondering if Nathan would treat Avia like he did to Zoe.
But suddenly, Avia let out a deafening scream.
I was startled.
I saw her clasping her head with both hands like a lunatic.
“It’s not me!” She shouted, “The person in this video is not me! How could I do such a malicious thing? It’s not me! This is really my mother’s bracelet! I haven’t done this! How could it be me….
no!”
Nathan and I were both stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Ayia exclaimed with a ferocious expression on her face –
“Nathan, my head hurts so much! My head hurts so much!”
Nathan’s face suddenly changed.
He immediately stepped forward and held Avia, his emotions rapidly shifting from disappointment and anger to deep concern.
“Avia! Avia!”
But it was of no avail.
“It hurts so much, Nathan. I feel like there are two souls in my head… I don’t know… I really didn’t do the thing in the video, I didn’t! That’s not me! It hurts so much… Nathan, believe me… it’s my mother’s bracelet… I don’t know… it hurts! It hurts so much!”
“Okay! Okay!” Nathan hugged Avia tightly, “I believe you! I believe you! Calm down, Avia, I believe you!”
I looked at the
one in front of me in shock.
“You believe her?” I asked incredulously. “The monitoring has already explained everything! Are you choosing to turn a blind eye?”
“Shut up!” Nathan shouted at me. “Didn’t you see Avia hurt?”
I was stunned.
Because she “hurts“, she can confound right and wrong at will?
Did Nathan mean it?
Avia continued to shout, “It’s not me… Nathan… My head hurts so much! Medicine! Give me the medicine! I need the medicine.”
Medicine?
I couldn’t help frowning.
Avia has already recovered! I examined her in person! I made sure every part of her body was fine!
What medicine does she need?
Before I could figure it out, I saw Nathan hurriedly carrying Avia into the bedroom and taking out a white medicine bottle from the bedside cupboard.
Then he poured out a green capsule from the medicine bottle and fed it to Avia.
A magical scene happened.
After taking the capsule, Avia gradually calmed down.
My brain briefly went down for three seconds.
Did Avia use drugs after recovering?”
Nathan was feeding her drugs?
God! Am I crazy? Is this world crazy?
I saw Nathan cover Avia up with a quilt and then lowered his head and said something to her.
It wasn’t until Avia closed her eyes and fell asleep that he gently closed the door and
came to me.
I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.
I didn’t care if Avia was crazy or on drugs.
The only purpose I came here today was to retrieve my mother’s bracelet.
“Nathan, I
“Avia got worse after the surgery.”
Nathan’s voice echoed almost simultaneously with mine, and my words suddenly choked up in my throat.
“What did you say?” I blinked my eyes.
If Avia was schizophreniac, why don’t I, her physician know?
“Not long ago, Healer gave Avia an examination. The Healer said that she hasn’t fully recovered and needs to take medicine to maintain mental stability,” Nathan explained.
When did I say she hasn’t fully recovered?
She couldn’t be more healthy!
What kind of mess is all this?
I suddenly remembered the examination report that Avia had thrown into the trash bin a few days ago, and a guess formed in my mind.
Did Avia not want Nathan to know that she had recovered, so she deliberately pretended to be sick?
In this way, not only can she receive more attention from Nathan, but she can also find a perfect excuse even if she makes a mistake.
Just like just now!
I took a deep breath and suddenly felt absurd.
Damn it, my identity is Diana now, not Healer. I cannot expose Avia’s trick.
I could only calm myself down first.
“So, why are you telling me this? Give the bracelet to Avia?” I asked.
“Avia said it was indeed her mother’s legacy,” Nathan said with a serious
expression.
I couldn’t help but sneer, “Isn’t she mentally unstable? Perhaps she remembered it wrong.‘
“Diana, pay attention to your words, “Nathan warned.
I rolled my eyes.
I don’t know how dare Nathan ask me to pay attention to my words. A year ago, he said countless things that are more outrageous to me.
Did he mind his words?
But now is clearly not the time to argue with him.
After some thoughts, I took my mother’s pearl necklace off my neck.
“Do you remember this?” I asked.
Nathan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, he probably remembered that he had once allowed Zoe to break my
necklace in order to please her.
Later, I picked up the pearls one by one and strung them back together.
“This necklace and the pearl bracelet at the auction are the same set, and there is only one set in the world. I believe you can tell. Or… we can go to the institution for confirmation now. The institution won’t lie, right?”
Nathan remained silent.
A few seconds later, he shook his head.
“No need. I can tell they’re the same,” he said, adding, “I’m sorry, I didn’t notice in time and caused Avia to mistaken it for hers.”
I can’t believe my ears.
Alpha Nathan, who is aloof and contemptuous of everything, one day apologized to
- me.
But I don’t want his apology!
This is nothing to me.
I looked at him coldly and asked, “Now, can I take my bracelet?”
Nathan nodded and bent down to pick up the pearl bracelet in person.
I was about to stop him when I saw the pearl bracelet break the moment Nathan picked it up!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Everything has become incredibly slow. Time seemed to overlap with a year ago.
The pearls hit the ground one by one, making a continuous sound,
My body froze, and I felt my whole body’s blood freezing to the extreme at this
moment.
Nathan’s face flashed a hint of confusion, and then he suddenly looked up at me.
“Diana, I don’t know, I –”
“Shut up!” I shouted, close to emotional breakdown!
