CHAPTER 13:
"Come see me in hospital."
How dare he! Nova's eyes suddenly became watery as she rushed out of the hospital.
"Madam, your medication!" the doctor called after her but she ran out of the hospital, stopped a taxi, got in and it drove off.
Two hours later, she jumped out of the taxi and even realised she didn't have cash to pay the driver.
"Umm... Can I do a transfer for you through the phone? I'll cover up the transaction costs. Am sorry I don't have any cash at the moment." Nova said sincerely and politely.
"Alright!" the taxi driver dialled the details and she quickly did the transfer before rushing across the streets and into a secluded compound.
The sun was already up and Macy was struggling to move around. Her body was developing rushes and she was nose bleeding. She would worry about her condition every moment, but when it came to her daughter, that was her heart and she would risk everything for her.
"Mama!" Nova wiped the traces of tears on her face and rushed over, gently helping her mother back into the house.
"What happened to you Nova? Why were you in hospital?" Macy asked wiping the blood off with the back of her hands and scratching herself hard.
"Mama, am sorry. I just got some hang overs and... The person who attended to me didn't know your condition." Nova pushed a basin of water and slowly washed her mother's feet.
"No... It was ok to tell me. Am your mother!" Macy forced a smile although her whole body hurt.
Nova dialled the emergency number and few minutes, an ambulance arrived. She helped her mother into the ambulance and the doctors immediately started a first aid.
After Macy was rushed to the emergency, the doctor came to Nova and told her, her mother needed a blood transfusion. Nova frowned.
"I'll donate." She moved in and lay on the bed.
"Are you sure young miss?" the doctor asked.
"Why are you asking if am sure? She's my mama and I've been doing this for more that ten years. Come on, do it!" Nova said closing her eyes and letting her tears flow. Every time she had to do this to her mother, she hoped her mother would get well and be free from such strange and deadly illness.
After some tastes, she did the donation after which she felt so weak and dizzy. But, she still had a grudge with Yuvan for twisting the fate for her.
She rested for few minutes after her meal, then took a taxi straight to the diamond mansion. She would blow up anyone who causes her mother pain and that was what she was going to do. This could be said as being irrational, but she was simply over caring to her mother and felt Yuvan had hurt her, this hurting her feelings.
Now there was the hospital bill to pay, she had also donated blood the second time this month. Only heaven knows how that was draining her.
Yuvan arrived somehow confused. He simply didn't know how to react. Lucas was up and the head butler was walking him around.
Yuvan didn't spare him a glance, he walked around the compound and covered a distance of about fifty meters on foot from the mansion main door to the gate.
He opened the gate and walked on the outside. Leo came before him to ensure his safety. This mansion overlooked the city and the highway was just some meters from the gate.
Nova alighted from the taxi and saw Yuvan. Her anger immediately boiled and she rushed over, clumsily crossing the road.
A car was speeding when it suddenly changed direction or rather lost balance and headed straight towards Yuvan.
At the same time, Nova, who was still in Yuvan's shirt saw a car speeding towards her and she subconsciously increased her speed across the road towards Yuvan and Leo.
Leo sensed the danger and quickly pushed Yuvan aside. He was ready to take the hit and save his boss.
Just when Leo thought he had reached the end of his journey as a mortal, a cracking sound was heard. But he wasn't the one being hit, Nova directly took the hit, partly protecting Yuvan who was still in a daze, and partly running towards him for protection. The force threw her into the air and she covered the meters between the side lane and the mansion gate in seconds.
Her body hit the gate and the shirt, her whole body and face was covered in blood.
The driver of the car died on spot.
Yuvan suddenly came to his mind when Leo rushed past him towards Nova.
He covered the distance in long strand and knelt before her. This girl!
"I came to scold you for causing my mother to fall ill again. Should I go on?" Nova said with a smile before collapsing in his strong arms, her hand holding on his neck, drawing lines with blood as it slid down his shirt, staining it.
On normal circumstances, he would have found it disgusting. But now, it wasn't.
"Hold on there, don't die. I'll make you wake up and scold me!" Yuvan lifted her into his arms. He could feel life slipping out of her just in front of his eyes and for the first time in his life, he felt very hurt and terrified
"Why are you still standing there? What are you looking at?" Yuvan glared at Leo.
He ran in and immediately a luxurious car drove out. Yuvan sat in while still carrying Nova. Today, he didn't care about the blood staining the comfortable and neat seats.
Nova was rushed into the emergency room. Yuvan remained outside, looking lost, unnaturally silent and freezing the air around him. Leo didn't know what to do. He didn't even know when Yuvan started caring about outsiders. He didn't know what relationship existed between Yuvan and Nova. "Sir... We are sorry..."
