My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 40

The light of the emergency room was suddenly off. Nova froze and got stiff. She dared not to step forward. She was afraid that she wouldn’t able to handle the outcome.

The door of the room slowly opened like the descending of the Death. Nova held her breath.

A hospital bed was slowly wheeled out and a white cloth was covering the body. Was this all destined to be? Why would God be so cruel? Why would God let her lose both her mother and lover? Was she cursed? Nova stepped back and fell to the ground. Jason, if I knew what would happen, I’d rather wish that you never met me.

Her eyes welled up and looked at the person covering in white with tears in her face. He was hugging her tightly and kissing her affectionately several hours ago. But now he was laying on the bed with blood everywhere. Some people who can’t bear the smell of blood had covered their noses and ran away.

The doctor looked at Nova and urged, “Excuse me?”

Nova seemed like that she’d lost her soul and can’t hear anything.

She had sunken into her inner world.

The nurse got impatient and frowned. “Miss, please don’t block the way.”

The nurse grabbed her broken arm which hadn’t been fixed yet. Nova felt incredibly painful, but she didn’t even frown.

She raised her innocent face like a baby and sobbed, “Is he dead?”

The nurse wanted to say something random so Nova can leave, but looking at her fragile figure, she ended up saying, “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Then Nova started crying silently. The blood stains were washed down and her face looked terrible. But she just bit here lips tightly and didn’t say anything. For her, tears were much more valuable than diamonds since her mother passed away when she was 14. She was always a tough girl and didn’t ever feel bad for any people. But Jason just barged into her life unexpectedly and was pretty possessive of her. He stood up for her when she was helpless and always protected her. He was like a ray of sunshine that brightened her inner world and melted her indifferent heart.

The nurse’s words threw her into endless darkness right away.

Blocking the only elevator, nobody can persuade Nova to leave. There were lots of patients who needed to be transported to the emergency room every day, so all the doctors were getting restless. But Nova just burst out crying and since she just lost a loved one, they can’t bear to tell her to leave.

Someone called the head of surgical department several minutes later. He was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of glasses. He squatted down and asked Nova, “We should all respect the dead, right?”

He talked like a loving father which made Nova cried ever louder. The man gave her a tissue and then comforted her, “You can tell me about it, if you don’t mind.”

Nova was choked up with words, but she responded after thinking for a while, “It was all because of me that he had this accident...”

The loving doctor paused a bit and got serious, then he said, “Well, if that’s the case, you should be much stronger then. He traded his life for yours so you can lead a happy and healthy life. Would he leave this world peacefully if you are so depressed?”

Nova kept silent. For the first time in her life, Nova felt living in this world was like a torture, especially since Jason fought this life for her.

She stared at the doctor in silence and asked lowly, “Can I have a look at him?”

Some doctors seemed worried because that person was nearly crashed to pieces. But the loving doctor hesitated for a bit and said, “Just for a minute.”

Afraid that he might take back his words, Nova nodded quickly.

All people stepped aside orderly. Nova stood up tremblingly and headed towards the hospital bed.

He was seldom quiet when he was with her. He was already 30 years old but always acted like a child. He was possessive, petty but at the same time incredibly mesmerizing. Then he was also considerate. Her body was always cold, so he would hold her hand and rub it lightly. Though she would be irritated at times, she was actually sweet inside. How can those warm hands be so cold now?

Holding one hand that was outside the cover, Nova rubbed it affectionately. But her hand was even colder than a dead person’s, so there was no way that she can make it warm.

Nova didn’t have the courage to lift the cover, so she whispered to his ears, “Jason, you said you would marry me, right? Do you really mean it? Am I too late to accept your proposal?”

People around were moved by her words and didn’t bear to witness this scene.

But at this moment, a nurse suddenly asked lowly, “Miss, are you sure this is the patient that you are looking for?”

Nova seemed that she didn’t hear her words. Nobody can interrupt her last goodbye to Jason.

Not getting her response, the nurse seemed worried and checked the medical records seriously.

Then she said, “But his name is Ayan Thompson. Well, this is pretty weird.”

Someone blamed the nurse for saying too much, but Nova suddenly opened her eyes in surprise and clutched at the nurse.

Then she asked hurriedly, “What did you say? What is his name?”

The nurse was taken aback, but she still answered honestly, “Well, you can take a look at the file here. His name is Ayan Thompson.”

Grabbing the file, Nova took a quick look of it.

The deceased was named Ayan Thompson.

The cause of death was a comminuted fracture of the cervical spine which ruptured his liver and lung.

His blood was tested positive for drugs.

“This is not him.” Nova muttered.

People then realized that Nova thought the dead person was her lover. No wonder that she would burst out crying and seemed mad. Figuring out what happened, they can’t help but laughed. Nova’s face reddened immediately. How would this happen!

Ignoring their laughing, Nova asked hurriedly, “Where is he? Where is Jason?”
