Chapter 39 Afraid to Miss the Next Moment


    Lying beside her, Jason was weirdly quiet which made Nova nervous. Her head was getting muddy.


    She wanted to scream for help and was afraid that Jason might die.


    The door car was suddenly opened and she heard a man’s voice vaguely, “Bring two stretchers over.”


    Nova struggled and grasped that man’s hand tightly. She then said in a shaky voice, “Help him. Please


    save him.”


    After getting that man’s response, Nova passed outpletely.


    Nova then sunk into a nightmare.


    She dreamed the scene which she fell off the water when she was ten and the stranger wearing an


    emerald ring. She was ying with the duck by the pool alone and heard her parents’ quarrel.


    “Toby, how can you do this to me? Did you forget who helped you to get to where you are now? Why


    doesn’t that bitch follow you when you have nothing? Now you are rich, so she’s pestering you. Don’t


    you see why she wants you?”


    “Ivy, why can’t you be reasonable and stop being so rude in front of the child.”


    Her mother smirked and said, “Why would you even care how Nova thinks of you? She won’t see you


    as her father if she knows what filthy things you’ve done!”


    “Ivy, enough is enough!”


    Toby was pissed off and yelled.


    Ivy took a deep breath and said, “Toby, I don’t believe you. We can talk calmly if you sign a will and


    state that Nova is your only heir. If not, I will immediately sell my shares and we will see how can you


    control Grahams!”


    “Let’s just go inside and don’t let Nova hear us.”


    Ivy held Nova and kissed her gently.


    She then said, “Nova, nobody can steal what belongs to you. Though I can’t guarantee you father’s


    love, I will make sure you get the maximum benefit.”


    Nova nodded vaguely. Then her parents started fighting frequently and she stopped being outgoing.


    ying alone became her biggest interest.


    She was ying with the ducky by the pool one time and wearing a swimming ring. Seeing the ducky


    squirting water from its mouth, she chuckled and closed her eyes which were simr to Ivy’s.


    Then she suddenly heard a footstep which seemed to be walking lightly on purpose, but she didn’t


    care, thinking that no stranger would barge in her own home.


    The sound of footsteps was approaching. Eyebrows furrowed, Nova wanted to turn around, but a pair


    of slender hands suddenly choked her neck. She was frightened and wanted to call her mother, but


    those hands pressed her head into the water violently.


    Little Nova was taken aback and started struggling. The water started flowing into her chest through


    mouth and nose, and she felt short-breathed. She tried to open her eyes and started pulling the hand


    that was suffocating her. She seemed to have scratched that person’s skin with her fingers and that


    person loosened a bit. She then saw that emerald ring.


    Then she dreamed a scene which she was hailing a car in a winter night after she just had the evening


    ss.


    It was freezing that day and also snowing. There weren’t that many of people on the street. Getting a


    cab was pretty difficult. She was walking while waiting for the car. Then she felt cold and tried to rub her


    hands in the pocket so she can be warm.


    The traffic light changed to green and she started crossing the zebra stripes. But then a cluster of


    strong lights shed her suddenly and she closed her eyes subconsciously. She vaguely saw a car


    racing towards her.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Nova was terrified at that moment and can’t even move. But she strangely saw the emerald ring


    through the light.


    Then she was casted down by someone and her forehead hit the road curb. She passed out


    immediately.


    Then it was the car ident that happened today. She can’t shake off the smell of gasoline and blood


    as well as the image of Jasonying on a pool of blood. He sacrificed himself to save her at the life-


    threatening moment. Nobody will do this for her in this world. She can’t even imagine the life without


    him. She hadn’t dated with him happily yet. She wanted be live with him, rather than being all alone in


    this world.


    She then clenched her teeth and opened her eyes suddenly.


    “She is up!” Someone yelled in surprise.


    Nova can’t open her eyes fully, but had already smelled a strong scent of disinfectants. She opened her


    eyes widely and saw a wall of ring white. The sharp pain in her arm let she realize that this was not


    dream but the reality.


    “It’s impossible. The effect of anesthetics won’t wear off for about another hour.”


    People were astounded.


    Ignoring their reaction, Nova held herself up and looked around fretfully. She was the only patient here.


    Where was Jason?


    Nova wanted to stand up holding her arm, but someone suddenly pressed her and said, “Your arm is


    broken. You’d better not move. What do you want to do? You can tell us.”


    “Where is he?” Nova muttered in a hoarse voice.


    The doctor was bewildered and asked, “He? Who are you talking about?”


    Nova didn’t say anything. She knew that he shed a lot of blood which almost soaked her entire body.


    How can one person have so much blood? Nova’s eyes were welling up and wanted to get out of the


    bed. But because the anesthetics hadn’t fadedpletely, he fell to the ground powerlessly.


    Her jacket had been taken off and was only wearing a white shirt which was full of blood stains on it.


    she knew that it’s Jason’s blood and can’t imagine what he was thinking about when he chose to take


    the blow for her.


    What a fool!


    I didn’t even promise you anything. Why would you do that!


    She was increasingly restless inside. Pinching her thigh heavily, she stood up slowly.


    The doctor immediately stopped her and said, “You can’t move, Miss.”


    But Nova just pushed him away and ran outside frantically. Losing her once elegant image, she looked


    pale and her hair was all messy. People on the hallway all gave way to her.


    Grabbing a nurse, Nova asked, “There is a car ident, right? Where is the emergency room?”


    Frightened by her behavior, the nurse pointed a direction. Nova then loosened her and ran to the


    emergency room.


    The light of the emergency room was still on. Nova held her hands together subconsciously. ‘Jason,


    you promised that you will give me a grand wedding. You can’t break your words.’


    The green light of the room seemed to be controlling her hear beat. Staring at it, Nova was afraid that


    she might miss the moment when Jason would be wheeled out.
