My Ex Next Door

"Oh Anna, what are you doing here?" Danny asked in a shocked voice.

Novie followed Danny\'s eyes who\'s staring at Anna, she lifted an eyebrow when she saw Anna\'s expression modified and walked closer to Danny.

"We\'re supposed to have dinner tonight but I didn\'t saw you in the restaurant so I went to the villa and the triplets said you were here" Anna\'s voice also softened, Novie\'s slightly parted lips widened and confusion made her brain cells explode.

"Yes, Ken got into an accident but thankfully he\'s fine. He will need to rest for at least a month" Danny explained.

Hearing it, Novie\'s heavy feeling lifted and she was able to breath normal again.

"What a month? I need him to marry Novie next week. I have a daughter in the house who probably busy browsing for a dress right now!" Novie bites her lips to prevent herself from laughing when Daniella suddenly tug on Danny\'s sleeves and glared at him.

She felt touched that Daniella still wants her to be with Ken instead of Anna.

"I will explain it to her" Danny replied and shifted his face to Anna.

"Are they still open? Maybe we can still eat" Danny spoke while inspecting his watch.

Novie also lowered her eyes to her watch. It\'s one in the morning, she doubts any restaurant is still open.

"No they are already close, but I moved the reservation tomorrow at 8, are you free?" Anna asked.

"He\'s not free so you can leave now" Daniella replied and drag her twin back inside the emergency room.

"Daniella" Danny spoke in a deep voice and stopped his sister from entering the emergency room.

"Fine! Go! But you will need to explain it to Alexa" Daniella rolled her eyes and entered the room.

Novie walked to Danny\' s direction and seized his arm, "Is Ken really all right?" she faintly asked.

Danny looked at her and gave her a warm smile, he placed a hand on her head and tapped it slowly.

"Yes, he\'s fine but I will need you to take care of him, he will be unconscious for the next 24-48 hours so you can get some rest" Novie shut her eyes and breathe. Finally, Ken was out of danger.

When she opened her eyes, she noticed Anna looking at her with narrowed eyes, she swallowed and thought that she might be envious since Danny personally asked her to look after Ken.

"Shall we go?" Danny shifted his sight to Anna and removed the eyelash on her cheeks.

(!)

Novie\'s heart skip a beat when she noticed Anna blushing.

(Wait… did I miss something?) she asked herself and tried to replay the scene from earlier.

Then the two bid their goodbye to everyone while Novie\'s brain burst in chaos.

She gulped repeatedly and tilted her head, puzzled. When the elevator opened, Matthew came out with coffee in his hand.

When Matthew handed the coffee to her, she bent closer to him and whispered.

"What happened to Anna and Danny?" she asked. She couldn\'t ask Yvette since they are not close, and she finds it hard to ask Evan or Glen since they are men and she\'s certain that they don\'t have any idea with the romance that\'s happening around them. And that left Bea which will be the last person she will ask!

"They are not in a relationship but don\'t worry. Anna will not waste her time chasing your boyfriend" Matthew replied and gave her a winked.

Novie sighed and glanced at the door when it suddenly opened, "Novie, Ken is awake and he\'s looking for you. You can talk to him for a short time"

She didn\'t waste any more time, her feet walked to Daniella\'s direction without her mind consent. Before she entered, she shifted to Bea\'s direction and ask her if she wants to come.

The old woman\'s gloomy face lightened up and immediately wheeled her wheelchair to her direction.

–

The next day, Su Villa.

The triplets were having their breakfast in the garden when the maid came and handed the phone to Alexa.

The three lay a blanket on the grass and enjoy their serene life. Since their mother was busy they can to eat all the sweets they have in the house though Anders and Selena made sure that they eat their sandwich first.

The girl creased her small brows and accepted it.

"Who\'s this?" she asked while chewing her sandwich.

"Alexa your mom said that Ken\'s wedding is postponed until he gets out of the hospital" the man on the other line spoke.

Alexa ended the phone and gave it back to the maid. She continued with her food without speaking while her expression slowly darkened.

The gate opened and their father came out of the car, her brother Leo and Ethan ran to his direction while Alexa remained to her post and continue with her juice.

"Alexa, are you done?" Evan asked and seated next to his daughter.

Alexa nodded while her lips compressed tightly.

Evan sighed and realized what was happening. He put a hand on Alexa\'s head and brushed it slowly.

"Ken just had an accident, he needs to recover first before he can plan his wedding" Evan slowly explain while stroking her brown hair.

Alexa stared at him with tears shining her eyes.

"What happened to him?" she asked in a cracky voice.

Leo and Ethan sat on one of Evan\'s leg and listened attentively.

"His leg was badly injured so he will not be able to walk for some time" the two boys gasped and covered their small lips in shock while Alexa wrinkled her face.

"Can\'t he just use a wheelchair like Granny Bea?" she asked innocently while her eyes blinked.

Evan laughed and shook his head, his tiredness vanished by her childish question.

"I will ask Ken once he wakes up" he spoke in between his laugh.
