Semua Bab Loved By The Crippled CEO: Bab 21 - Bab 30

It all happened too fast. The next thing they knew, the car had tumbled over. The car that caused the incident sped away, disappearing from the eyes of passersby. Ava could barely breathe; she was wheezing, and her face and neck were severely injured. She was unconscious, whereas Carl had been knocked out. There was a gash of wound on his forehead, blood seeping out. Ava felt the world around her spin, her eyes becoming bloodshot. The last thing she heard before succumbing to the darkness was the sound of an ambulance siren. Ava's eyes fluttered open to the sound of sobs. It was a familiar voice…. Her mother's. She struggled to keep her eyes open, blinking rapidly to adjust to the lighting. She was unconscious for 24 hours. She heard the nurse saying almost inaudibly “Ava here is one of our own. We've made sure her vitals and everything are in check. She's lucky not to have incurred severe injuries…..unlike the other” Ava let out a whimper. She tried to move out of her uncomforta

Ava wasn't a novice. She understood very well what Kain meant, but Liam liked her in that way? Sounded impossible. He was just being nice. “I highly doubt that, Kain,” she responded after simply shaking her head. Kain shrugged. He wanted to see her reaction, to know what kind of person he was dealing with. Was she the type to accept Liam the way he was or abandon him eventually for someone better? Recalling, Ava voiced “Speaking of which, Mr. Liam's x-rays should be over and done with by now” Kain chuckled at her deterrent. “Even in this state, you're still thinking about him” he dropped the lunch box on the table nearby. He tucked his hand into his pocket “You're right. But I can't give them to you till you're fine” “I am fine” Ava objected. Kain leaned on and poked her nose. “No, you're not,” he turned towards the door, heading out while Ava pouted. “Take care of yourself okay?” Minutes after he left, Alexa barged in hastily “Aha!” She exclaimed, holding her phone's screen upri

Ava remained seated, her eyes narrowed evenly on Evie. “What is the meaning of this, Evie?” A deep frown spread across her face. Evie picked up her glass “This is a glimpse of what I can do, Ava. I've got power that you can only ever imagine” She took a sip, dropped the glass, and continued“Be it Liam or Kain, I don't mess around with my men. And I'll go as far as gouging out the eyes of many women who would look at them.” She paused a bit “I'm sure you've heard of my engagement to Kain, correct?” “And?” Ava raised a brow. She wasn't afraid of Evie or the fact that a gun was being pressed into the back of her head. Evie's lips twitched. “That means he belongs to me and no one else. This is my warning to you Ava. Stay. Away. If you become a hurdle to my relationship with Kain, I won't hesitate to get rid of you. I don't care who else out there wants to kill you; I'll be next in line,” she threatened. A short silence settled between them. Ava couldn't hide the shock on her face. Sh

A deep frown settled on Kain's face but only for a split second. He managed to keep his expression normal. “Sorry, grandfather,” he said, his anger boiling within. Thelma didn't sit right with this “Is he wrong to speak?! You didn't even ask about him, isn't he your grandson too?!” Albert responded in silence but gave Thelma a threatening glare. She immediately found her composure, taking her eyes back down to her food. There was tension in the air. Ava gulped. Albert brought his attention back to Ava “I'm listening” “I… he's gradually getting used to me forcing him to eat.” The words didn't come out right. “We'll talk later in the study,” said Albert simply. Ava nodded at this, and the table once again turned as silent as a graveyard. An hour later….. “Make yourself comfortable, don't fidget.” Albert ushered Ava to a seat after making sure the door to the study was shut. Once he settled in, he began, “Liam told me everything there is to know about you, and I'm currently doing

Ava blinked twice and she looked at Liam. She could've sworn she heard him say something about her hair. But she wasn't sure. Maybe she imagined it. “Strange woman” Liam called out of the blue. “I'm suddenly curious” Ava turned to him, ignoring the fact that he called her strange, and asking “Curious about?” “Why do you want to help me so badly? You're the first woman to actually consider my condition and make a move towards it. What's in it for you?” he asked. Ava leaned back, taking her eyes back to the fountain. She gave his question a thought and opened her mouth to speak. “There was something I could do so why would I just sit back and watch?” She returned the question. Liam was quick to answer “Didn't your parents teach you to mind your business? Besides, you were brought to take care of me….. meddling in anything else would've gotten you fired” “But it didn't,” said Ava almost immediately. Liam scoffed, his tone sarcastic. “And you think it's because you're best buddies
