A Lifetime With You Chapter 44
Chapter 44
“Yea, working partner. I’ll pretend to marry you and deter your parents from forcing you to find a wife,
while you keep me from those yboys. We have been cooperating so well all along.” Selina kept an
amiable smile stered on her face the whole time. Since there were countless business cooperations
between the Newton family and the Radbury family, so both their parents had intended to bring them
together all along. However, Damien had always treated Selina with nothing but formal respect. Soon,
Selina had grown tired of this coborative game. “Damien, I have mulled over your mother’s
suggestion and I think that we can take a step further in our rtionship.”
She smiled and took a step closer to him.
The stalemate at the undergroundmunity parking lot continued. Jessica shrieked, “No! Ava, don’t
do stupid things! She won’t let me go even if you stab yourself!”
Ava had already picked up the knife.
Then, she lightly pressed in on her slightly bulging belly. She wouldn’t hesitate at all if she had to
exchange her life for her mother’s safety. But, her life didn’t belong to just her at the time being. How
could she jeopardize her baby’s life? No… no way… Jessica was crying buckets in front of her. After a
short while, she closed her eyes as she grabbed the knife even more tightly than before. “Beth, you
have to know that I owe you nothing. Even if I die, the Nagel family will still have to pay for whatever
you guys have owed my mum and me.” then, she hesitated and raised the knife. Beth smiled grimly
and couldn’t wait to see as the knife pierced into Ava’s body. Suddenly, Ava opened her eyes as there
was a sharp glint in her eyes.
Beth was taken aback. In a split second, she saw that the knife had left Ava’s hand and wasing
straight towards her. How could Ava be so brave to throw the knife at her! So, Beth quickly lowered her
head to avoid it. Jessica could still move her legs even though her hands were tied, so she grabbed the
opportunity to kick Beth’s knee hard.
Then, Beth screamed in pain and bent down.
That knife wasn’t thrown urately and it hit the car beside them. Then, it fell and nked on the
ground.
Jessica kicked the knife away and escaped from Beth.
“B*tch!”
Beth cursed and chased after Ava.
Ava and Jessica indeed had good chemistry because they were mother and daughter. Then, Ava
quickly helped her mother and both of them stumbled out of the basement parking lot. Beth couldn’t
catch up with them. So, she got into her car and started the engine before she rushed towards them!
There was only one exit at the parking lot and Ava was dragging her mum behind her as they dashed
together towards the exit. They had almost stepped out when the headlights of the car shone on them.
Beth was hysterical as she stepped on the elerator pedal to the maximum and she wanted to ram
the car into Ava and Jessica!
“Mom, watch out!” At that critical moment, Ava instinctively pushed her mother away, but she couldn’t
dodge the oing car in time…
Within a few moments, she felt weightless in the air. When she leaned down, she could see her
mother’s frightened face and also Beth’s hideous smile. Then, everything went quiet after she heard a
loud crash. Yet, Ava didn’t even feel the slightest pain.
“Ava, Ava, don’t scare me…”
Ava could hear her mother screaming and crying out loud.

She wanted to cate her mother to stop crying, but she couldn’t open her mouth to speak no matter
how hard she tried. No one could hear her…
She felt as if she had fallen into an endless void and her body felt as light as the floating feathers.
Moreover, she couldn’t seem to muster up strength at all.
Would she die like this?
She hadn’t even bid farewell to Damien.
Damien… Would he be sad if she died?
Or, he would still be the same as usual? Would he treat her condescendingly and indifferently as if she
was just a pitiful stranger?
Indeed, they were supposed to be strangers, but all these things happened because she had pursued
him.
“Ava, Ava…”
Someone was calling her name. It seemed that she had spent a long time dreaming and her dreams
were filled with cherry blossoms. She was standing under one of the cherry blossom trees and smiling
happily as if she was still a teenager.
Then, she felt excruciating pain all over her body and she lifted her eyelids with much difficulty.
Her mother looked apprehensive and her cheeks had tear streaks. “She is awake! Doctor Oakley,
come and take a look, is my daughter awake?” Jessica was calling the doctor in a hurry, but Selden
had dashed forward instead. Then, Selden sighed with relief after he checking Ava’s pupils.
“Ava, how do you feel?” he asked her gently.
Ava felt a remote sense of relief when she saw Jessica and Selden. Then, Ava opened her mouth and
tried to speak with her hoarse voice.
“… why am I here…” “You were hurt badly after you were hit by a car.”
She recalled everything in a second. Yes, she had a head-on collision with Beth’s car at themunity
basement parking lot.
And, she was still alive…
Ava had mixed feelings about her current condition.
“Where is Beth? Where is she?”
“That ctnt… she ran away!” Jessica gritted her teeth with anger. Jessica had justpleted her
interview with the police. After the collision, Ava was bleeding profusely, so Jessica was in a rush to call
for an ambnce and she couldn’t care less about Beth at that moment.
Ava tried to move her body, but the effect of the anesthetic hadn’t receded. So, she didn’t have any
strength at all.
“The murderer will be caught soon. Don’t worry, your operation was sessful and you are fine now,”
Seldenforted her gently.
“What about my baby? Is it alright?”
All of a sudden, he looked miserable and stayed silent.
“Tell me, how is my baby?” “The baby…is gone.” When Ava heard that, she was so upset that she
wanted to raise her hands, but she couldn’t move at
all.
She could only stroke her lower abdomen with difficulty. The feeling of emptiness and coldness from
her belly was shattering her heart into pieces. “Selden, you liar.” The baby was still with her when she
went out in the morning, so how could it be gone suddenly? “The doctor told me that the baby’s heart
had developed and it had grown into the size of a thumb. It’s heart had also started to beat. Mum, I saw
during myst ultrasound.” She chuckled as if she could see the little fetus in front of her. The baby
would grow up soon and be a handsome boy or a pretty girl. She vowed that she would always
protect her baby no matter what.
She had put in so much effort to keep her baby!
Jessica wiped her tears and stroked Ava’s cheeks, “Perhaps, this is the child’s destiny. Ava, you are
still young, so you can still conceive in the future, alright?” “It’s impossible… You’re lying… you are all
lying to me!” Ava tried to sit while she struggled with the severe pain in her body. Then, she tore the
infusion tube from her hand and wanted to get up. But, she fell on the bedside as she was still weak.
