Chapter 290: It’s her!
Ava’s fingers trembled as she reached for the pictures. Her heart pounded against her ribs, dread creeping up her spine. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing, questions and doubts swirling in her mind.
No...
This couldn’t be real.
She lifted her gaze to Nicholas. "He... met with her?"
Nicholas nodded grimly. "More than once."
Ava’s world spun. The trust she had so desperately held onto was beginning to crack.
"He was spotted with her just a few days before your father’s heart attack," Nicholas said, pointing at the photo she was holding. "This was taken near a deserted area close to the forest reserve. And this one—" he handed her another picture, "—was at the wetland area."
He held up another phone. "And that’s not all. He was also spotted with her at the hospital the day of your father’s surgery."
Ava’s head snapped up, her wide eyes locking onto his. "He met with Lydia at the hospital. Are you sure?"
"This is the proof." Nicholas pushed the photo toward her. The picture showed Ethan and Lydia standing in the dimly lit parking lot of the hospital, their bodies angled toward each other as if in hushed conversation.
"The surveillance footage inside the hospital was conveniently down that day," Nicholas explained. "So there is no direct evidence of Lydia sneaking into Mathew’s chamber. But this—" he tapped the photo, "—this is from the parking lot’s security camera. It was still working, and it caught them together."
