Meeting Emily

Oliver walked inside holding Ava in his arms. It was June, the weather outside was sunny and hot but inside, the room was cold and gloomy. There was a mixed smell of damp and disinfection. Ava held her nose with her hand and looked inside. In the dim light, she could see a woman wearing a blue hospital uniform was sitting in the corner. Her long chestnut hair was cut short to her neck and was a mess. She was staring at the floor and humming something in a very low voice.

"Emily," Ava called out in a cold voice, her face was expressionless. This woman in front of her killed her child so she was not going to be merciful at her.

Emily didn't respond, she kept staring at the floor and talking to herself as if she was the only one in that room.

Seeing that Emily was ignoring her, Ava narrowed her eyes and called out, "Melody, I've come to see you."

This time Emily reacted, she stopped humming and slowly raised her head. She stared in Ava's direction with a blank face for a while then slowly stood up holding the wall. she slowly stepped toward the protection glass.

Ava looked at Emily's face, for the first time she was looking at her as Emily, not Melody. If no one told her the truth then she would probably believe with her heart that this was her best Melody. Their face was too much alike.

Oliver was watching Ava and seeing her looking at Emily with doubt, Oliver said in a low voice, "It's not her, Emily got plastic surgery that's why she looks exactly like her." When Oliver locked up Emily, he sent Uncle Joe to the US again to dig up everything he could about Emily and her past life. Surprisingly this time Uncle Joe found a lot of cover-ups, which was Liam's doing. Uncle Joe also found the doctor who performed the surgery on Emily.

Ava nodded but didn't say anything.

Emily came closer to the protective glass and when she saw Ava's face clearly, instantly her face changed and anger rose in her heart. She started to slap on the protective glass and shout in a panic tone. "Ava, you are here. Help me, please you have to help me. I am not crazy still they locked me up in here. Help me, let me out."

Emily's shout started to fade away when she noticed the man behind Ava. She didn't notice him at first but the moment she saw his fierce face, she shivered in fear. She looked again at Ava and said, "Ava, Oliver wants to kill me, he tied me up let his people beat me, and put me into a water tank. I almost drowned in there. Please help me, get me out of here. "

Ava noticed Emily's frightened expression and glanced at the man beside her. Only Oliver Knight could do such vicious things to someone. However this time Ava didn't have any complaint, for Emily she didn't feel any sympathy. She looked at Emily with an expressionless face and said coldly, "Don't you think you are responsible for your condition right now? You killed my child, why should I help you?"

"Ava I am your best friend, Melody. How can you not help me?" Emily said pretending to be stupid.

Ava was bored by Emily's acting, she asked coldly, "Don't you feel ashamed of what you did?

"Why should I be ashamed? You should be the one ashamed of yourself. You slept with your best friend's man and got pregnant with his children. Aren't you disgusted by yourself?" Emily slapped on the protective glass and said with rage.

Oliver clenched his fist in anger, he really wanted to choke Emily to death at this moment. He looked at her with bloodthirsty eyes and shouted out, "shut up."

Ava turned and said to Oliver, "Oliver, give me some privacy, I want to talk to her alone."

Obviously, Oliver didn't want to leave Ava alone with this vicious woman, he said worriedly, "Ava, she is crazy, there is nothing to talk to her about."

"Doesn't matter, I still need to talk to her."

Oliver sighed helplessly and threw a warning glance at Emily before turning around and leaving the room.

After Oliver left Ava looked at Emily coldly and said, "Emily, you can stop pretending now, I know you are not nuts.

The moment Emily said Ava slept with her best friend's man, she already knew Emily was not crazy, she was just pretending to gain some sympathy from her.

"Yes, I was pretending. What else could I do? This is a fucking mental hospital, they are driving me crazy. Are you satisfied to see how miserable you have made my life? Are you happy now that I am locked up here?" Emily shouted out angrily. Indeed she hoped Ava will help her to get out of this crazy place if she pretended to be Melody. All she wanted to do was go back to Liam.

"Why did you do this? Why you wanted to take away everything that belonged to me?" Ava asked staring at Emily coldly.

"Because you don't deserve to have any of it. What is this about you that men around the world are willing to go crazy for you?" Emily said with hatred in her angry eyes.

"Emily you are delusional if you think I made anyone like me. I am just an ordinary woman." Ava let out a self-mocking laugh. So she did all this because she was jealous of her. Her jealousy cost Ava too much.

"But the man I love is in love with you and that's why you deserved to die."

Ava thought Emily was talking about Oliver but she didn't ask anything about it, instead, she asked, "Why did you disguise as Melody and approached us?"

"Ava, you are so naïve, you still can't tell? Of course, it wanted to get close to Oliver so I could seduce him. I must say he is very skilled in bed." Emily said mocking Ava. Actually, that was Emily's purpose, even though Oliver didn't touch her in England but, as long as Ava thinks he did, their relation will still be ruined and her plan will succeed.

Ava suddenly remembered the hair she found on Oliver's clothes, she felt sad thinking about what Emily just said, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked at Emily and said indifferently, "I feel sorry for you, Emily. You should stay locked up here and suffer for the rest of your life and I am going to live a happy life outside." Saying that Ava turned and walked toward the door to leave.

"Ava you bitch, you will never be happy with Oliver. He doesn't love you, if he did then he wouldn't have slept with me." Emily started to shout from behind.

Ava was too lazy to respond, she opened the door and left the room, leaving Emily shouting in rage behind. Oliver was standing at the door waiting for Ava to come out.

"Ava." Oliver relaxed seeing Ava coming out. He reached out and held Ava's hands and frowned seeing her fingers were cold as ice. He asked worriedly, "Why is your hand so cold?"

"My hands are always cold," Ava said lightly. It was not only her hands that were cold, her heart also turned cold because of this man. However she didn't say anything, she was about to run away, and right now she didn't want to raise any suspicion in his heart. This was her only chance, if Oliver became a little suspicious of her plan then he will never let her go.
