My Ex Next Door-69 Chapter 69: Daniella's condition

Anger rushed throughout Novie's body, she walked to Bea's who's sitting on her wheelchair and put both of hands on the armchair.

"Mrs. Chu, you asked me to leave Ken before because you want him to have a good life, you said my low status doesn't fit him. I left him because I know he deserves someone better than me." She spoke in a deep voice while her eyes focused on Bea with anger.

"He got hurt because of me, and I feel awful and angry to myself. But you know what..." she grabbed her shirt and pulled her closer.

"You're worst than me. You asked me to leave him not for his sake but for you… his own mother… Now, once Ken woke up, I will marry him and it's up to you whether you want to be part of our family or not" saying that, Novie pushed her back to her chair and turned to face Daniella.

She took Daniella's hand and softened her expression.

"Please help Ken," Novie begged at her, Daniella nodded and immediately entered the emergency room.

Novie heard the shout coming from inside, asking Daniella to leave, then the sound disappeared and she saw the door opening, Daniella's head popped and looked at her brother Danny.

"hey...ahem… Can you remove the doctor's and nurses here? They fell asleep" Novie creased her brows in confusion, wondering how could they have fallen asleep.

"Is he going to be fine?" she asked once again. Daniella looked at her and smile.

"Not sure, I might need to cut his legs" Novie paled, she was not expecting for Daniella to say those words, she swallowed repeatedly and bite her lips in nervous.

When she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned back and saw Danny.

"Don't take it seriously" saying that the man entered the emergency room.

One by one, Danny took the nurses and doctor's bodies out of the emergency room, then he looked at Novie and gave her a warm smile.

"If you're planning to stay, call your parents and your work. I am not sure when Ken will wake up" he spoke in a low voice.

Novie sat on the chair after she felt her knee-weakening.

"How bad is it?" she faintly asked, even her voice started to fade.

"Well… his right leg was smashed, he didn't have a seat belt which caused his body to suffer more injury, his head might have hit the steering wheel which made a crack in his skull" Danny explained casually, there was no hint of fear in his voice.

Meanwhile, every word Danny uttered made Novie's heart throbbed, she gulped when she realized how bad Ken's injury was and it's all because of her.

She started to feel guilty and blame herself, thinking that if she didn't break up with Ken, he will not be in this situation, if she just let him explain his side that night then he will be with her instead of the emergency room.

All of her guilt transferred to tears and ran down from her eyes, she buried her face to her hand and cried.

"Don't worry, we will make sure that he will survive, so try to calm, ok?" Danny caressed her back.

Novie looked at him and nodded, "Thank you"

Some minutes later, the emergency door opened and let out Daniella with a medical mask and gloves covered with blood while her whole face sweats.

"Ok, Ken is dying..." she spoke underneath her mask.

Novie widened her eyes and looked at Bea, her expression was just as shock as her.

"What do you mean?" Bea asked in terror.

Daniella walked to them and wiped her sweat making the blood stick to her forehead.

"Can't you help him? Aren't you a doctor" Bea yelled at her.

Daniella raised an eyebrow and walked closer to Bea but Novie stops her.

Novie grabbed Daniella's arm, "Please help him" she pleaded her, she's afraid that even Daniella couldn't help Ken.

Her heart skips a beat when Daniella winked at her indiscreetly, wondering what it was about.

"Mrs. Chu, there's no reason for Ken to live if you're against with their relationship" Daniella spoke.

Novie shifted her eyes to Bea, the old woman's hard face softened and lowered her guilty eyes.

"So now, if you two will accept each other then I will go back there and continue the operation, if not then I will order a casket for him, I am pretty sure he likes it to be gray" Saying that, Daniella removed her gloves and sat on the empty chair beside her husband.

Novie swallowed hard and looked at Bea, their eyes met and she could see the hesitation beneath her eyes.

"Do you think you can threaten me?" Bea yelled at Daniella but the woman ignored her which made her more pissed.

"I will never accept you!" Bea shifted her angry eyes to her.

Novie narrowed her eyes while her hands clenched in anger, every minute counts, she doesn't care if Bea will not accept her but Daniella will only help Ken if Bea accepted her.

And she understands why Daniella said it. She probably doesn't want to see her brother to get hurt by watching his mother and his girlfriend fighting.

But she can't do anything, she can't force Bea to like her.

Novie crinkled her nose and walked closer to Bea, she looked at her with fire in her eyes.

"Ken is your only family, is it so hard to accept me?"

"You know why I don't like you? I mean aside from the fact that you're poor?" Bea replied in a mocking tone.

Novie stared at her bravely, Bea already said a lot of hurtful word to her so she doesn't care anymore.

"Because my son used all of his time to you, he didn't care that I was imprisoned for twenty-five years. When I came back, he barely talked to me, he even brought you to Paris without asking if I want to come" Bea replied.

The revelation shocked her, she didn't know that the root of her anger was jealousy if Bea just informed her before she will ask Ken to spend more time with his mother, but now, it's too late.

"You were just jealous?" Novie spoke in disbelief, the old woman rolled her eyes and stared at the white wall.

"You can call it jealousy, but after you left, my son stayed with me every day and I am so happy and contented until that bastard woman crashed to his wedding and take him away" Bea throw an angry look to Daniella.

"Mrs. Chu, don't call my wife a bastard, you can't blame her for her mother's fault" Evan got up and asked his wife to stand up.

"Blame? she's one of the reasons why my husband didn't care to find me" Bea spoke in a hurtful voice while her face remained stone.

Evan sighed.

"I didn't do anything when I found out that you hired someone to kill my wife, I let you off because ken is my friend. My wife helped you by removing the bomb in your body and since you're so ungrateful. I will take my wife from here" Evan spoke in a cold tone.

"Hey, babe! Let's all calm down ok?" Daniella stuttered.

Novie started to panic, she doesn't know whether she should talk to Bea or stop Evan. The two families disregarded the fact that Ken is in the emergency room fighting for his life.

When she turned to Evan, she saw him carrying his wife on his shoulder like a sack of rice and walks towards the elevator.

"Wait… Mr. Su… please, Ken is in danger" Novie seized his arm, stopping him from leaving.

Evan turned to her with a stone face.

"You heard Mrs. Chu, she doesn't care if her son dies so why would I?" Novie parted her lips, she could see that Evan had made up his mind.

"But you're his friend" she faintly replied.

"Yes, I am his friend and growing up with him, I saw all the trouble he faced. When he got sick, his father will let him stay in his room, he doesn't even bother to call a doctor."

Evan paused.

"On our graduation, he's the only kid without parents, he doesn't have a girlfriend. So not you or Mrs. Chu knows the life he suffered."

Evan took a deep sighed and hardened his arm.

"You don't know how many time Ken thought of killing himself. So both of you doesn't deserve him. You're both selfish" Saying that, Evan pulled his arm.

The elevator door opened and Evan got inside despite Daniella's request to put her down.

"Fine! Fine! I will accept her… just go and help my son please"

Bea spoke while the elevator is closing, Novie immediately slides her hand to stop it.

Evan put his wife down and Daniella ran back inside the emergency room dragging her twin with her.

Before Daniella closed the door, she yelled at her husband.

"Babe, tell Alexa that she'll be attending Ken's wedding next week" then the woman disappeared.

Novie sighed in relief and turned to Bea, the woman had her face lowered to her lap while playing with her finger.

Novie stared at Bea and thought what happened to her, she must have suffered a lot for her to be this cold and hateful.
