CHAPTER 13: ACCIDENT

Ju Hua Department Store in Mao Gen St.

At the doorway of the department store after Assistant Tan heard Lee Moven's instructions, he obediently nodded. "Ok Mr. Lee I got it."

He left his assistant with some unfinish works regarding other concerns about other branches.

He rode to his car. Going to meet Jia to their favorite Japanese Restaurant because he promised to have dinner with Lee Anna & husband. It's almost 6 months since they last saw them.

He was driving along when his phone rings. Lee Anna is on the line.

"Brother Moo, we're here and also Jia. Where are you now?" She spoke.

"I'm almost near about 15-20 minutes from now or less. You take your order first. I'll be there soon." He spoke.

As they continue talking, unexpected collision happens. From a far distant other side of the road, a driver of the truck was confusing. He doesn't know what to do when his brakes don't function property. It crashed on the car in front of him.

Lee Moven saw the truck coming towards him. He already knew that something was wrong as he saw from far distance that the truck was out of control. It will hit straight from his direction.

*SKEEEETCCCH* BANG

Lee Anna heard from the other line the loud impact of the accident.

"Bro. Moo… brother. Bro. Moo, please say something." Anna cried. There is no response and the line suddenly turns off.

Lee Jia turned pale when she saw her aunt's facial expression while talking to his daddy on the phone. "A-unt Anna, what's wrong? She too felt nervous.

"Your dad…? Lee Anna could not finish her sentence. She doesn't know what to tell Jia because she does not even know what really happen.

Her husband comforted her to calm down for a while. Then immediately dialed Assistant Tan's number to look for Bro. Moo and told him their last conversations.

Assistant Tan found Lee Moven in his car unconscious. Ambulance came just the same time he arrived at the scene and they rescue them right away. The car was wreck slightly and the truck driver was injured. They both brought to the hospital nearby.

Lee Moven was inside the ambulance. Paramedics immediately performed their duties. They are trained professionals who provide pre-hospital care.

The ambulance reached AZALEA GENERAL HOSPITAL where Dr. Yu Ming was already waiting at the entrance for their arrival.

Assistant Tan called him immediately right after he arrived at the accident area. The ambulance door opened and the doctor never wasted time, he pushed the wheel stretchers towards the operating room.

Assistant Tan was outside the Operating Room when Lee Anna and Lee Jia hurriedly came over. Lee Jia cry in silence and didn't ask him. He knew that the daughter was anxious to know her dad's situation but couldn't say a word. Lee Anna spoke.

"Assistant Tan how's Bro. Moo? What happen?"

"He is still inside the operating room and its' not quite good when I saw him at the accident area. But I will leave now to check about the incident." Then the assistant left them.

Lee Anna faced Jia. "Baby, you should go home and rest. Aunt will stay here to your dad. It's not good for you too. I'll call you once the operation is done." Anna glances to Nanny Rong.

Lee Jia still keeps silent when Nanny Rong walks her out. She got scared thinking about his dad. Her mom was gone but now…his dad?

-------

Few hours after the operating room opened. Dr. Yu Ming came out. Lee Anna stood up and asked.

"Dr. Yu how's the operation? What is the condition of Bro. Moo? Is he alright?

"The operation was successful and he is out of danger but… his left leg was injured. There is a crack in one of the bones so we put with a cast. Other than some scratches, there are no more problems in his body. So, all of you can rest now and go home especially you Anna, you are pregnant. Moven is fine and he will be sent to his room later. Don't worry we will take care of him." Assuring them as the doctor left.

They took Dr. Yu's advice that Lee Anna felt at ease thou they cannot see Bro. Moo now. It would be better to go home and come back later.

....

Yoon Chaya came early at the hospital that morning. She went to the locker room and changed her uniform. Dr. Yu Ming left a message to her phone. She requests to report to his clinic once she arrived. She knocked twice at the Dr. Yu's clinic before opening the door.

The doctor's looks tired as she went in.

"Good morning doc!" she greeted.

The doctor looked at her, "Oh you're here." Then continue talking, "I want you to be my assistant for today onwards because Grace is taking her leave for a week."

"Okay doc, no problem."

"Then go to my patient in Room 1205 first and wait for me there. I will go and check my other patients."

12th floor is for VIPs. It is a separate floor with limited public access for privacy. There are five rooms are air-conditioned and have Wireless Internet access. Bed with a big flat screen television and a sofa. A dining room and bathroom is equipped with bathtub and features bathrobes and slippers. It seems like you are staying at the hotel.

She was already at the 12th floor hallway. Thinking, this patient is very important to the doctor. She knocked first then opens the door. She walks in and passed by the dining room as she reaches sliding glass door to the patient's room.

She saw a man sleeping when she entered inside. There is a cast on his left leg. As she draws near to the patient's bed… she was thoughtless. Chaya was shocked with her mouth open when looking at the man's face. She doesn't know how long she was standing in front of him that she didn't even notice that the man was awake.

Lee Moven opens his eyes slowly. Chaya is in front of him motionless. She must be mental black knowing that it is I. He could not help but smile as he speaks. "Are you going to stand there like a mannequin forever?"

Chaya regained back her thoughts when she hears someone's voice. Now, she realized that the man's eyes were open and stared at her. She quickly closed her mouth.

'Oh my gosh! This was too embarrassing! How long have I been like that?' Her face turned like a red tomato.
