My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 39

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 out completely.

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 playing 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. Playing alone became her biggest interest.

She was playing 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 similar 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 class.

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 flashed her suddenly and she closed her eyes subconsciously. She vaguely saw a car racing towards her.
