My Ex Next Door

Inside the hospital room, an evening drama was playing in the television while Novie sleep on the couch, Bea took her cane and pulled herself from the couch.

It's been six months since Ken's accident, until now the man was still in a coma, in the past six months, she's been accepting Daniella's help and go through the therapy. She wanted to walk so once Ken wakes up, he will be at least happy.

She limply walked to Novie's direction and picked up the blanket after it fell on the floor, she slowly covered her body and walked back.

In the past months, Novie stayed at her son's side, she left only twice to visit her parents but she came back the next day and kept on calling, asking if Ken woke up.

She hates to admit it but Novie took care of her son from day and night, with a small beeping sound of the heart monitor the girl will run to him even if she's in the toilet, she realized that Novie cares so much for her son.

She sighed and sat back on the couch she used earlier. In the last six months, the hospital became their house, they sleep and stayed there for 24 hours hoping that one day, Ken will wake up.

She kept on urging Daniella to wake up Ken but Danny said that Ken's body might not be ready so they waited.

She adjusted the room when she noticed the goosebumps on Novie's skin, the room was cold and quiet, even though there are flowers everywhere, the room still looked like a hospital room because of the patient laying on the bed.

She shifted her eyes to her son who's lying unconscious, Ken's heart was beating normal based on the monitor while IV and oxygen are attached to his body.

"Mrs. Chu, are you hungry?" Novie suddenly spoke, Bea turned to her side and shook her head. Novie has been like this, she doesn't know whether she's faking it or not but she always reminded her of her food and medicine and she often accompanies her to her therapy.

"What about you?" she replied back, the girl shook her head.

Growl….

Novie's tummy contracted her words, Bea looked at Novie's blushing face and the atmosphere became awkward.

"Let's go to the restaurant, on the way remind me to ask the nurse to look after Ken" Bea got up and took her cane and black blazer from the armchair and wrapped it around her body.

In the other side, Novie was surprised. In the last six months, she and Bea barely talked, and this is the first time they will share a meal.

She hesitated at first, thinking that Bea might be planning something but when she saw Ken, she realized that she needs to get along with Bea for his sake.

With that thought, she got up and grabbed her pouch.

As they exited the hospital and proceed to the restaurant nearby, Bea asked the nurses to look after Ken.

While eating none of them spoke, only the utensil and people around chattering are making their lunch less awkward.

–

In the airport.

Two Caucasian men are standing in the crowd while waiting for their boss to arrive when the arrival floor opened, John came out with darkness around his eyes

As he approached them, his jaw gnashed.

"any update?" he asked in a deep tone, while his feet walked towards the exit.

The two men looked at each other and one of them opened the door of the car and John sat down.

"we apologize Mr. Castro but until now we cannot get inside the hospital" one man spoke in a low tone.

"Damn it!!! Six months and you can't even kill that man? He's in a coma, how hard is it to kill a man which is half dead? Didn't I tell you to get a nurse inside? How hard is that?" he yelled.

"The hospital is fully guarded. They only accepted patients who were known by the family. We tried to check on the employee's details from the Doctors to the Janitor and find out where their family lives but all of their information has been deleted, therefore, we cannot find a way to get someone inside to work with us" the man explained while handing him all the papers of their research.

John was fuming, it's been six months and until now, none of his men can get close to Ken. He's afraid that once he wakes up he will not have a chance to kill him.

"What about Evan Su? Do you have an idea how to kill him?" he asked while adjusting his tie.

"Their house was full of trap and sensor, they have an advanced machine that can detect someone and check their background. The gate won't open unless it's someone they know" hearing those words, John kicked the back of the passenger seat, anger made his blood heated.

His mind exploded with less chance of getting his revenge.

"But Mr. Castro, we collected information about the triplets. We can ambush them and create chaos and then maybe we can get into the hospital and hopefully kill Ken Chu. We can also trade their life with their father" The driver suggested.

John fell deep in his thought. He wanted revenge but he doesn't want any kid to get hurt, even if the kid's father was the person who killed his father.

But if the triplets are the only way to get his revenge, he will shut his eyes and accept it.

"Fine. But you need to check first. It's impossible that their parents will leave them unprotected"

Then he looked at the road and watched the busy street. He just spoke to the prime minister of Aldovia, the man wants his son to be the new king but since Mary is still alive, he can't get the throne.

He decided to work with him, but at the same time, he wants the throne for himself. He doesn't know how he can pursue Novie but that will be his last problem, once Evan and Ken are dead he can continue with Novie.

But with the news he heard, it seems impossible to touch the Su family. He tried calling Bea but the woman never answered his call.

When they stopped in his house, a woman came out. A woman who is more vengeful than him.

Some weeks ago, they met unexpectedly and he recognized her. He wasn't expecting her to work with him but after he heard her story, he realized that the woman hated both the Chu Family and the Su.

Anna Tang, he stared at her with a smile on his face while reminiscing the day they met in Aldovia.
