Novie rustled while sitting on the metal chair, four hours had passed but Daniella and Danny haven't come out and she's becoming more nervous.
The nurses and doctors are laying on the floor unconscious, she found out that Evan owned the hospital, therefore, the guard didn't do anything even after they saw the doctors on the ground.
Two more doctors came with four nurses to assist the twins, the quietness of the hallway made her mind calmed a bit, though the light in the hallway was too bright for her eyes, she find it abrasive enough to bring on one of her migraines.
Her heart exploded every time the cream door opened, the nurses ran back and forth with medical supplies which made everyone worried and wonder if there's an ending.
Novie buried her face on her palms and uttered a silent prayer, she felt exhausted but she doesn't want to rest until she knows that Ken's life is no longer in danger.
"You need to rest" Novie lifted her face and saw Matthew's concern expression, she could see his tiredness by the dark skin under his eyes. She shook her head as a response and breathed.
The hallway has as much personality as the rest of the hospital, white walls and the smells of disinfectants. The whole floor was only used for operation, though the other rooms are empty, there are men which seems to be Evan's bodyguard standing next to the elevator with guns in their hands.
Novie wondered why do they need protection but then she understands that with Ken's situation, his enemy can come and kill him without a problem.
Inside she wished that she has enough power to protect him but she's just an ordinary woman with a simple family background.
Everyone was quiet, but they could hear the sound of the heart monitor beeping from the inside and the constants shouting of Daniella to the doctors and nurses, asking to do their job properly.
Matthew seated beside her while Bea rolled her wheelchair back and forth in front of the emergency door, Evan was leaning against the wall with his fingers busy tapping the screen of his phone.
She wondered how can he stands for hours, she blinked and took her phone out when she felt it vibrating.
Novie shut her eyes after seeing her mother's name, her trembling finger pressed the answer button and put it on one ear.
"Novie. Where are you? " Mary yelled without greeting her.
When she thought that she doesn't have any tears left to cry, it started pouring again, and this time, it's bigger and more painful.
She wanted to speak but her heart throbbed in pain, she shook her head and looked down, unable to express her feeling.
"Ma..." She wanted to tell her the news but her lips don't cooperate.
"let me talk to her" Matthew spoke beside her in a low voice.
She didn't protest, instead, she handed her phone to him.
"Mrs. McSalter. It's Matthew." The man started.
"Ken has been in an accident... yes... I will look after her" Matthew often paused to listen and answer all of her mother's question.
Minutes later, Matthew handed the phone back to her.
"She wants to talk to you," Novie bolted and put the phone back to her ear.
"ma."
"don't worry Novie I am sure he will be fine. I will pray for him and I will also call your work. Ok? Just concentrate on Ken" Novie bite her lips and was moved by her mother's concern. This is what she needed right now, her mother's voice telling her that everything is going to be all right.
They both said their goodbyes and by that time, Novie's phone shut down.
Matthew got up and asked for her phone, "I will go downstairs to charge it, Do you want a coffee?" he asked.
Novie nodded and gave him a faint smile.
After Matthew left, Bea rolled her wheelchair closed to her. Bea stopped in front and looked at her with cold eyes.
"I will never apologize to you, but if Ken wants you then I will not stop him, but this doesn't mean I will be nice to you" she spoke coldly and rolled her wheelchair back towards the emergency room.
The elevator door opened and let out Glen with his wife Yvette, Glen rushed to Evan while Yvette sat next to her.
"Mrs. Hei" she looked at her with gloom all over her face.
"Call me Yvette, anyway how's Ken?"Yvette held her hand and gripped it, making her hand stops from trembling. Yvette's hands are warm and soft, and her vanilla scent made her nose forget the scent of disinfectant.
"He's badly hurt, Daniella and Danny are inside" her voice was weak and cracky, she tried to clear her throat but it didn't help.
Yvette sighed and pull her body to hug, she noticed that she also had the same scent as Daniella but she zip her lips to stop herself from asking.
In the other side, Novie could hear the conversation between Evan and Glen, she looked at them and watched them silently.
"How long have they've been there?" Glen asked.
Evan jammed his phone back in his pocket and stared at the emergency room.
"Four hours" Evan replied.
Novie sighed and rested her head on Yvette's shoulder, her whole body was weak, if she lay on the bed, she's certain she'll fall asleep the moment her eyes close.
"Don't worry, the twins will not let anything bad happen to Ken" Yvette spoke in a courteous tone, trying to console her, Novie just nodded as responds, even her tongue started to feel weak.
The quietness of the hallway has been disturbed when Evan coughed, everyone looked at him except Bea.
"Babe, did you cough?" It was Daniella, she suddenly popped in the hallway with her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Novie crinkled her nose and suddenly sneeze, Daniella turned to her in a flat face.
"You two need to rest. Don't worry, Ken is still breathing" Saying that Daniella disappeared just as quickly as she appeared.
Novie breathed and looked at Evan who's walking to her direction when the man stopped in front of her, Novie refused to leave.
"I am fine" she shook her head but once again she sneezed.
"I know you're fine but she wants us to rest so let's go. We can sleep in one of the rooms here" Evan turned his back without waiting for her reply.
Novie pressed her lips, she doesn't want to leave but Daniella said that the operation will take more time.
She got up and followed Evan, as she caught up with him, the elevator door opened and let out a woman in a purple dress with a clouded expression all over her beautiful face.
Novie's eyes went round in shock, she had seen her once in person, and she can't be mistaken. It was the same woman she saw on the television, the news where Ken was involved.
It was Ken's ex-fiancee, Anna Tang.
