Chapter 41 The Companion of Survival
"I am sorry. There's no patient called Jason here."
"What? He must be here," said Nova, shaking her head.
"We were sent here together. We had a car accident in NL viaduct. How's he?"
The nurse was quite confused, "Well I am very sorry that I have no idea where Jason is, but I remember vaguely the name, Jacob, was registered."
Nova's eyes were sparkling; she urged, "Where's he?"
"Oh, I am so sure."
The nurse apologized to her.
As they were talking, an amicable doctor came and smiled, "Oh my poor girl, why not bind up your wounds first? Your arms hurt severely. Don't worry. I will have someone check the registration for you. Take it easy, girl."
Nova was a little embarrassed and bowed her head with a flushed face, "Thank you."
Smiling kindly and shaking his head, the doctor turned to the nurse, "Please help check the registration form."
"Yes, Doctor Wright."
Sitting silently in the ward, Nova could not help looking at the door with her arms swathed by Doctor Wright. Reading Nova's face, the doctor smiled and whispered, "I can tell from your face that you are particularly fond of him. I mean, Jason."
Hearing this, Nova was surprised. She turned her gaze shyly and said softly, "After my mother died, he's the first one who treats me nice with his life. It's too ruthless of me to pretend that I don't care. If so, I will regret in the rest of my life. What's more, to live with someone happily is much better than to stay in misery. "
Nova said with a faint and happy smile.
Doctor Wright was amazed by her opinion and smile. A few minutes later, he finished the work and said slowly, "You're a girl who looks naive on the outside but mature inside."
Nova smiled in silence.
In her mind, it's not a kind of maturity; instead, she longed to cherish their relationship with her whole life.
"Sir, please don't run in the corridor! Your wounds are bleeding! I can pass the message for you... " A nurse's voice full of anxiety was heard and the next moment, Nova witnessed a man's intruding with his head wrapped.
When he saw Nova in the bed with her arm in a sling, he let out a sigh of relief while feeling compunction.
"Sorry, Doctor Wright, I've tried my best to stop him but ..." The nurse now arrived.
The doctor smiled, "It's fine. Now everyone goes out and leave them some space."
Aware of what's going on, all the doctors and nurses in the ward smiled and walked to door.
Because of losing lots of blood, Jason looked pale in the same suit as he wore on the day he returned. What's worse, the suit was crumpled with blood stains and part of his head was shove with loose bandages. The scene was so heartbreaking that Nova failed to say even a single word.
They both valued the miracle of survival carefully. Jason's lips moved in attempt to speak but he kept silent. He came over slowly, sat near her and touched her face softly covered with tear. "Why do you cry? Because of pain?" asked Jason quietly.
Nova's eyes were filled with tears again. Biting her lips, she shook her head slightly.
"Are you scared?"
Jason stroked her hair in an affectionate manner.
Nova kept shaking her head, whose tears were about to drop. Jason bent and kissed her tears, saying softly, "It's I that make you cry?"
Nova said nothing but wailed more bitterly. For God's sake, when she thought that he would leave her forever, she was panic to death.
Jason wiped away her tears awkwardly and broke into a soft laughter, "You cry a lot, my love. Are you moved by me?"
Nova looked up and touched his face suddenly, feeling the warmth of proving his existence.
She couldn't help asking quietly, "Are you with me? Is it real?"
With his nose against her nose, Jason spoke in a hoarse voice, "Yes, trust me. What do you want me to do?"
Before Nova could attempt a reply, he kissed her urgently. After they experienced the accident together, now they both cherished the companion. As if the kiss was the only proof that they were still alive, they smooched with each other. Nova was so shy that she closed her eyes during the soul kiss. She always knew that she loved the way he smelled; it's tobacco which warmed her heart as the sun.
Jason was surprised and gave her a big hug, kissing her more deeply.
Nova was uncomfortable about his force. Jason happened to touch her wounded arm and she gave a choked cry. Jason realized and regretted. He relaxed his grip to check her arm. Being sorry and sad, he wished that he were the only one who suffered. How could his honey endure that pain?
"It doesn't matter."
Nova relied to his silent question.
"Nonsense!" Jason didn't believe her words.
Nova was embarrassed. Noticing his hair was stained with blood, she whispered, "I am OK."
Jason paid no attention to her reaction, saying, "I get you some water."
Walking to the water dispenser, however, he fell down suddenly in a few seconds, which frightened Nova.
The car accident dominated the headlines of the major media because of both the severity and the victims' identity. It's said that the decline of the Thompson was caused by some big companies. Although nobody clearly pointed out which companies were in question, developing green products was the main way of the Thompson who had only a few rivals. What's more, there were fewer companies who could bring down the Thompson. Therefore, when Jason was revealed from the Chapman, and had a car accident, he was widely considered to be involved in the scheme of the Thompson's downfall.
In less than two months, the enterprise in operation for more than 20 years collapsed. Great changes took place in such a short time that Jason was treated to be extremely cruel and merciless. Under mounting public pressure, authorities concerned began to attach great importance to this affair and
even the police took part in dealing with it. A huge media circus surrounded the gate of the hospital recklessly. If the police hadn't been maintaining the order there, some reporters must have intruded.
Jason was half lying, reading the news and became angrier. He threw the paper aside, and said in his cold voice, "How dare them!"
Eric fetched the newspaper, put it onto the desk and said, "If we deal with it with internal solution, it must be easy. But it's hard to cope with the media. " Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
He paused and then continued, "The news report does harm to Mr. Chapman’s reputation; you know, he is entering into an election. Both Mr. and Mrs. Chapman are worried about you. Although it's inconvenient for them to come here, they have been contacting. "
