My Ex Next Door-73 Chapter 73: What does it have to do with me?

It's been three days since Ken's was transferred to the ICU until now he hasn't woke up. The last time she heard his voice was that night, he only uttered her name and fell unconscious once again.

Daniella said it must be the anesthesia but she doubts it. Since that night, Daniella stayed in the hospital for almost 24 hours busy checking on Ken. Danny often comes but the twins barely speak to each other like they were having a cold war. Every time Danny will try to speak to his twin, Daniella will immediately glare at him and ask him to figure it out.

Novie was mixed whether they are fighting or not, seems like Danny was taking her temper easily.

Like right now, she's in the room sitting on a single chair next to Ken's bed. She held one of his hand which was pale and cold.

Even Ken's face was paled, she started to get worried. She spent the last three days in the hospital and only left to change clothes. She even sleeps in the couch as she was afraid that Ken will wake up and get worried that she's not around.

Novie sighed when she heard Daniella bantering to her twin brother once again.

"Danny I don't need your help, why don't you go and meet that snake?" Daniella spoke in sarcasm.

Novie gulped and shut her eyes, she already knows who she was pertaining. It's Anna, the reason why they are fighting.

"Daniella I told you already. She's helping me to get Saina back" Danny spoke in a calm tone while changing Ken's IV.

Daniella scoffed, "Help? That woman doesn't do good deed unless it benefits her." Daniella spoke in a rude tone.

Danny calmly replied, "Don't worry I don't like her and she knows it. So can you please stop this silly fight?" Danny seized his sister's arms and tried to hug her but Danniella pushed him away.

"I am only telling you that you're so nice to all women that they started taking it the wrong way. If you didn't take her that day. She will not misinterpret your action" Daniella continued.

Novie just listened to them while soaking the towel in the warm water, then she slowly wipes it on Ken's hand to make it warm.

"Fine, I will not see her again. Can you stop glaring at me now? You're scaring me!" Danny exclaimed and wrapped both arms around himself.

"hmp!" Daniella snubbed her brother and went to Ken.

Novie watches her as she opened Ken's eyes and gradually pinned a needle on his neck. Her head tilted in confusion, Daniella has been doing it since the last three days but nothing was happening and she doubts that Ken will wake up by pinning a needle to his neck.

"I am going now" Danny spoke and was about to plant a small kiss on Daniella's head when the girl moved away.

"Are you going to be a dog and chased that Saina again?" Daniella glared at Danny once again.

Danny sighed and pinched both of Daniella's cheek.

"No. I need to check on Donna and make sure that her eyes are all right" Saying that, Novie watched Danny as he left the room.

Novie looked at Daniella, the girl's hard face softened and lowered to look at Ken. She has been wondering what happened to Saina and why she's not with Danny but she doesn't want to pry on their business.

When Daniella lifted her face, their eyes met and the woman gave her a faint smile.

"I know you're wondering what happened to them" Daniella spoke in a soft tone and sat on the bed.

Novie's eyes widened and immediately turned her head away, she wondered how could Daniella know that she had that question in her mind for the last three days.

The woman giggled sweetly and took Ken's hand and sway it around as if he was a toy.

"Saina broke up with my brother because of me" Novie caught the sadness and guilt in her voice.

She gathered all her courage and parted her lips, she was bored and tired of staying in the hospital with no one to talk.

"Why?" she gulped and hoped that Daniella didn't mind her question.

"You know us girls, we always dream about getting married but unfortunately, my stupid brother doesn't want, he kept saying that he needs to protect me and my kids. When Saina asked him to choose, he chose me" Daniella paused and sighed.

She looked at the window and stared at the clear blue sky.

"He thought heartbreak was easy, not until he saw Saina dating someone else. Then he realized that he wants to be with her, but you know that regret always comes late and no one knows that better than you" Daniella gave her a meaningful glanced.

Novie dropped her eyes and played with the towel on her hand, Daniella was right. She regretted leaving Ken, she only realized he's worth when she lost him.

"Anyway, the man broke up with Saina after receiving a job abroad so now my brother is working his ass off to get her back. But of course, it will be impossible because he keeps on treating all women nicely that they ended up falling to him" Daniella shook her head in distress.

Meanwhile, after Novie heard it, she giggled. She had seen Danny and she was right, the way Danny spoke and treated woman was different than Ken or even Evan who was always so cold.

(oh! So he was not flirting) Novie thought when she remembered the night Danny removed the dirt on Anna's face, if it some other men, they will only do it to someone they adore.

"So, Danny doesn't like Anna but Anna like him?" Novie twitched her lips by her own question. She finds it ridiculous that Anna always fell with the man who seems to be in love with someone else.

"Yes, my naive brother took her when Ken ran off from their wedding then he let her stay in his house which Anna seem to have misunderstood," Daniella spoke loudly and she could see the neck popping out of her neck.

"What about Donna?" Novie asked. When Daniella was about to answer, her phone rang. Novie checked the screen and saw the unregistered number.

She frowned and wondered who could it be. When she answered it, a familiar voice greeted her.

"Hi Novie"

She parted her lips in shock and wonder where did he get her number.

"Mr. Castro!"Novie spoke in a surprised tone, she looked at Daniella and saw her asking for her to hand the phone.

Novie bolted but handed the phone to her without informing John.

"Mr. Castro it's Daniella. I can't believe you survive that fall" Novie creased her brows and looked at Daniella, puzzled by her words.

"What fall?" she whispered.

Daniella placed a finger on her lips asking her to quiet down.

"He hung up" Daniella spoke while shaking her head. Novie took her phone back and asked her about the 'fall'.

"Oh! When we were on the way back from Vegas. I throw him out of the plane, but don't worry I gave him a parachute"

(!)

Novie's eyes went round and thought that must be the reason why John was missing for so long time. But somehow, she didn't feel wrong or pity him. It must be because he lied to her. That's what she thought.

"Did you throw him because he lied?" she wanted to make sure about Daniella's reason so once she meets John, at least she can tell him why Daniella did it.

But Daniella shook her head which made her more confused.

"I throw him because he teamed up with Mrs. Chu about murdering me" Daniella spoke casually.

Novie was bewildered, she tilted her head and tried to replay Daniella's words, thinking she must have misheard it.

"Why would John kill you?" she asked in terror when her brain finally realized what was happening.

"It's a long story" Daniella started and sat on the couch she used as a bed every day.

"I have the whole day Daniella" She spoke in curiosity.

"Well, it's started with the mistake. John thought Ken killed his father but he didn't. It was Evan. So, John somehow contacted Mrs. Chu to work with her, and that old ass woman asked him to kill me and in exchange, she will separate Ken to you." Daniella spoke in a straight voice, she didn't even bother to breathe.

"John's father, yeah... he mentioned it before. Why did Evan kill his father?" she asked once again.

Daniella sighed and continued.

"His father, which was the Princess of Aldovia's adviser harassed me and don't let me get started with that princess. That bitch, she tried to seduce my husband!" Daniella spoke in exasperation.

Novie suddenly understood everything, but still confused why would John asked for Bea's help.

"Anyway, so John only used me to get revenge to Ken?" Novie got up and took the small bowl she used to soak the towel.

As she was about to enter the toilet to throw the water, Daniella replied.

"Partly! but the real reason why he got close to you was that he wants to be the next King of Aldovia"

Novie stopped from entering the toilet and turned her back to face Daniella, her eyes narrowed while her head bent in confusion.

"What does it have to do with me?"
