Punished

Connor had left a person to guard Ava Kelly so that if she suddenly remembers Aaron and events, she might run to Lake Huron. It didn't happen, other than Ava freezing at random places and stare at it with complex thoughts.

The rank student passed the Sophomore at the borderline of failure, the national chess competition slipped off her hands during the same year. It took her time, but slowly got back to herself, she started studying and focusing on the right things as she frequented Kelly international.

Connor had next met her in the country S when she was around Shawn. He was shocked but she didn't identify him. He wanted to tell Aaron but he didn't know how Aaron's appearance might affect Ava as it might make her live through the same trauma. 

He had spoken with his mother who was staying away, she had studied through many cases and suggested not to bring them up to face to face forcefully. So Connor let fate play out, without telling it to others.
