Chapter 525 Her First Visit to the Mitchell Family
She would tell Alexander that she had slowly figured things out, but not now.
Currently, she was in a complex relationship with William. Once William recuperated and their marriage dissolved, by then, her child would be close to being born. She would address that situation when the time came.
Alternatively, if Alex discovered their shared offspring, he certainly wouldn't acquiesce easily. Given William's present condition, he could not withstand further agitation.
Alexander nodded. "If you don't like hearing it, I won't say it anymore. I won't bring it up again in the future."
"Alex, actually, hearing you say these things to me, I suddenly feel like you've grown up. You understand how to think from other people's perspectives now, not just what you see. So, I can take back those angry words I said to you before."
This was the most comforting thing Alexander had heard today, slightly soothing his aching heart.
"Yes, I wasn't grown up before, too immature, even dull and foolish."
Ava shook her head. "No, you're excellent. It's just that even the best people have flaws. You just hadn't figured out your feelings for a while. Everyone loses control sometimes and says the wrong things. Sometimes, the brain doesn't cooperate. It's not too late for you to understand now."
"It's not too late after I've lost you?" For him, it had already been extremely late.
Regarding this, Ava didn't know how to respond to him. It was indeed too late.
"Ava, do you still suspect that I did those things to William? Or that I killed the person who later donated the heart?"
He really cared about these questions. It didn't matter if anyone else misunderstood him, but Ava couldn't misunderstand him.
Ava was silent for over ten seconds.
Seeing her not speak, Alexander became more anxious. "Ava, could it be that you..."
"Alex," Ava interrupted him, but she didn't answer him directly. Instead, she said, "Do you remember when I first came to the Mitchell family?"
"Of course, I remember. You were eleven then. Grandma brought you back. You were so thin and small. your face was dirty, and you had injuries on your body. You looked like a frightened little rabbit, always keeping your head down, and your eyes were full of fear."
As Alexander recalled this, his eyes were filled with pity.
Ava nodded. "Yes, because at that time, everything around me was unfamiliar. It felt like I had entered a new world, a world that had nothing to do with me before."
"Ava," Alexander said seriously, "From that day on, you were part of the Mitchell family. No matter what happens in the future, you are part of the Mitchell family. No one can change that."
Ava smiled slightly and continued, "At that time, you approached me very slowly, and I was very scared, holding onto grandma tightly. She squatted down and gently told me, "Ava, this is your brother. Don't be afraid.""
"Even with her comfort, I was still very scared. However, I had just come to the Mitchell family, and I told myself I had to be a good child, or grandma would be unhappy. I didn't want to be homeless again, so I mustered the courage to walk towards you."
Alexander thought of that and smiled lightly, "I remember it very clearly. You were extremely scared. Every step you took towards me was like stepping onto a cliff. I didn't dare to approach you, afraid of scaring you. I could only stand still and wait for you to come over."
