My Ex Next Door

After an hour of driving, they finally arrived in the hospital.

They went to the receptionist and asked for Daniella.

"Mrs. Su is with a patient right now but she has been expecting you. Her office is on the second floor, left side" the receptionist instructed them while her eyes were sparkling as she stared at Ken.

Novie narrowed her eyes, suddenly she wanted to pick up the pen on the table and stab it in her eyes.

The murder plot she's planning inside was interrupted when she felt a warm breath in her ears followed by Ken's teasing voice, "Someone's jealous" her narrowed eyes shifted to Ken which made the man's smirk to disappear.

"Yes, we're going" Ken put both hands on her shoulder and pushed her body towards the elevator while her eyes were throwing a murderous look at the receptionist.

As they step out of the elevator, their eyes widened to see how many people were on the hallway, some were standing and some were sitting but all of them were waiting patiently.

Curiosity filled Novie's mind, she went to one of the patients to ask, "Excuse, but are you all waiting for Doctor Su?" when the woman nodded, Novie roamed her eyes along the hallway with her lips parted in disbelief, wondering how long will take it for Daniella to asses all the patient.

"Let's go" She looked at her hand after Ken grabbed it and lead the way to the only room on the floor.

When they opened it, they saw Daniella checking her patient's heartbeat while three nurses were writing down all the words she's saying.

"Hi" Novie greeted Daniella after the woman looked at them, when she thought that Daniella was angry for not inviting them, the woman smiled and welcomed them with warmth.

"You have a lot of patient waiting in the hallway" she jokingly said, the woman laughed as a response and nodded.

"Yup, I might need to stay here for the next 36 hours, So what happened? Are you in pain Ken?" Daniella asked in a worried tone and about to walk to Ken's direction but the man took a step back and shook his head.

Novie creased her brows and turned to Ken, his expression was too cold, unlike this morning.

"We are just here to tell you that I want to cancel the operation," Ken spoke in a straight tone.

Novie watched Daniella's expression, the woman's face paled.

"Can I talk to Novie?" Daniella asked Ken, the man looked at Novie without giving Daniella his response.

"Is it fine?" he asked. Novie nodded and smiled at him.

After Ken left, Daniella's face turned serious as she asked the nurses to leave the room.

After the patient and nurses left, Novie sat down on the chair Daniella offered.

"I am sorry if we didn't invite you to the dinner party..." Daniella put a finger on her lips and shook her head.

"It's fine. Ken only know me as a daughter of his father's mistress so it's understandable why he didn't invite me" Novie sighed in relief, she thought Daniella hold a grudge after not getting invited.

"but about Ken, I hope you can convince him." Novie fell deep in her thought. She and Ken had discussed this numerous times and the man doesn't want to go to another operation and she's afraid too, thinking that what if Ken will fall into a coma again, they were lucky last time that the enemy didn't kill him but what if it will happen again.

"Daniella. I spoke to him and we are both afraid that he might not wake up after the operation. I hope you can understand us" Novie tried to spoke in a soft tone.

Suddenly, Novie could see Daniella's eyes narrowing while her white face reddened.

"Spoke? It's not enough Novie. I need you to convince him or force him or whatever but he needs to remember us" Daniella burst in anger.

Novie's shoulder jumped after Daniella lashed out her anger, her blood started boiling when she realized that Daniella was asking her to force Ken to go to operation.

"Daniella I am not going to force Ken..." she yelled back, she could not understand why Daniella was forcing her to convince Ken but then she realized that it was Daniella, she loves to force people into doing what she wants.

"Whoa! I can't believe you're saying this Novie. You're lucky because he stays with you, but what about my kids… or me? He doesn't even look at me" Daniella spoke in a hurtful tone and Novie could feel her pain, she saw how ken looked at Daniella, there was disgust and anger but it's Ken's decision and she wanted to support him.

"wait… are you jealous? Because even Ken doesn't remember me, still he chose to stay by my side." she blurted.

When Daniella sealed her lips, Novie scoffed in disbelief.

"look...It's not my fault that Ken doesn't remember you. God knows how much I tried to convince him about this but he's afraid and so am I. Daniella... I am so thankful for all your help but Ken is not the same lost boy you've met before. You changed him and now it's my time to take care of him. So please, don't meddle your life with us. You also have kids to look after, we just want to live in peace"

Novie tried to explain it to Daniella in a positive way, and she's glad that the woman understands it after seeing her hard face softened.

Then Daniella looked at her and smile, "Fine, I understand" she replied and handed her a folder.

"This is Ken's medical reports I am sure he doesn't want me to be his doctor. If he ever got some migraine you can give this report to his doctor so they will know what to do" Daniella explained.

Novie opens the folder and flips the pages, then she closed it and sighed.

"I am really sorry for bursting. I will make sure to invite you to our wedding" she observed Daniella's expression, even though her eyes were black there was a soft smile on her lips which made her feel at ease.

Daniella pulled her to hug and patted her back slowly, "Take care of my brother" Novie nodded and assured her that she will look after Ken.

When she left the office, Ken was standing and leaning against the wall with both hands jammed in his front pocket and eyes were looking at her direction.

She smiled and walked to his direction. When the elevator door opened, she clung a hand on Ken's arm and looked at him.

"How did she take it?" Ken asked her.

"She was upset but she understands" she replied.
