Need You Now novel Chapter 2

The first thing that Heidy noticed was the pungent smell of medicine. For some reason, no matter how she tried, her eyes wouldn't open, and all her limbs were lifeless objects beside her.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching her. "What's happening? Is that normal?"

When she heard the voice, tears welled up in Heidy's eyes. The voice belonged to her husband, Jack. They had been married for only two years before he decided to cheat on her with her sister, Sherry. 'My husband...cheated on me with my sister...' The more Heidy thought about it, the more tears rolled down her cheeks.

"She's just crying. It looks like she can hear us," Sherry said indifferently. "Pretty sister, I hope you can hear me right now. It's a pity that you can't come to our wedding. You'll be lying there in bed forever I'm afraid."

Jack Xu stood beside Heidy's bed, looking at her pale but delicate face. A hint of pity flashed through his eyes, but was soon replaced again by a certain detachment. "Let's go," Jack said coldly as he turned around to leave.

Sherry Hua bent over and whispered in Heidy's ear. "Good bye, pretty sister." With that, Sherry left with a triumphant smile.

The entire room was filled with a deafening silence. It was as if her body was a puppet without a master. Heidy's chest ached painfully in her chest. Just then, another pair of footsteps came in. "Mr. Xu is so cruel for leaving Mrs. Xu in a vegetative state," one nurse said as she checked Heidy's vitals.

"I'm not at all surprised. A lot of people would die for money. Besides, who wouldn't want all the properties of the Hua family? She will sleep forever after three more injections are given to her," the doctor said in a low voice. "Let's go. The next injection will be given after half an hour." The doctor and the nurse left the room.

Hearing their conversation, Heidy felt herself swelling with anger and hatred. She never imagined that Jack would not only sleep with Sherry, but also try to seize her family's properties as well. 'No. I can't let this happen!' Heidy screamed in her head. 'I cannot let them have their way!'
