After the accident 2

A few hours passed in a blink of an eye, suddenly a tall man rushed into the 302 hospital corridor with a panicked face. Oliver has been waiting for Melody for two hours at the plaza where they were supposed to meet after her exam, but she never showed up. Oliver tried to call her a few times but her phone was switched off. He thought she must have forgotten to turn on her phone after the exam. However, after two hours when she still didn't show up Oliver started to have a bad premonition in his heart. He called Uncle Joe and asked him to find out where Melody was. After about ten minutes, Oliver received a call from Uncle Joe informing him about the accident. Oliver immediately rushed into the hospital.

Oliver was gasping for air, he has been running to get here as early as possible. He saw a middle-aged woman was standing outside the OT, he asked her anxiously, "Hello mam, is Melody inside the OT?"

Lily looked at the young man in front of her with wide eyes, the way he was dressed and talking politely she could tell he was not from any ordinary family. She wondered how the parker family knew a man like that!

"No, she was transferred to another hospital. Who are you?" Lily asked.

"Transfer? Why? Where did they go? Which hospital?" Oliver didn't answer Lily's question, instead, he asked excitedly.

"I don't know which hospital her parents took her to. My daughter and Melody had a car accident. Melody's parents didn't have enough money to pay for her heart transplant so they transferred her to another hospital. No matter where they transfer her, they wouldn't be able to save her they don't have any money, so I don't understand why they even bothered to transfer her?" Lily was still angry because of Grace so she kept saying unpleasant things in front of Oliver without even knowing who he was.

Oliver's mind went blank. What? She needed a heart transplant? And her parents didn't have enough money? How they were going to save her then?

"No, nothing can happen to her.. nothing will happen to her... I won't allow it.. she can't die like this." Oliver shook his head and kept babbling. His eyes become lost and so his heart.

Lily heard Oliver's babbling but she didn't say anything else to him.

Oliver took his phone out and ran out of the 302 hospital. From Uncle Joe, he found out that Melody was transferred to Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Oliver hurriedly drove toward the hospital, but there was a huge traffic jam on the road and he was stuck.

Oliver pressed the radio in the car impatiently. A soft female voice was reporting the car accident that happened this morning on Ningxing road at 9.10 AM. A taxi collided with a truck, and the taxi driver died on the spot. The truck driver has fled from the scene of the accident immediately. Two young girls in the taxi were seriously injured and were immediately sent to the nearest Hospital.

Present-day

Oliver stared at the brooch in his hand, his eyes become gloomy. It was because of Lily's sarcastic words in front of the OT that day Oliver developed a deep hatred toward Ava and her family. He was already upset because of Melody's accident and when Lily said it was pointless to transfer her to another hospital because her parents didn't have money to save her, Oliver felt pain, he hated himself not reaching her earlier. If only he was there, he would be able to pay for her treatment and save her. So Lilly's words added fuel to the fire that day. Oliver hated Ava's mother and hated Ava and always blamed her for Melody's death.

Oliver became very depressed after Melody died and he completely shut himself down from the world. He wouldn't talk to anyone, he wouldn't laugh or smile he even wouldn't hang out with his friends. He just kept himself busy with his work. Later, after taking over Knight International, a rumor came to his ear that Michael had something to do with Melody's accident. Oliver has been investigating it since it happened but he always hit a dead end. When he heard this news he started the investigation again and it wasn't until 4 years later, he was finally able to find that driver, but to his disappointment, that driver wouldn't open his mouth no matter how he tortured, so he just put him in the mental hospital.

Oliver was determined to avenge Melody's death so from then on Oliver decided to take revenge on Michael and Lily. He made a promise to himself that he will ruin Ava's life but he couldn't find her anywhere. Oliver never knew Ava's last name and that day he left the hospital in a hurry so he didn't have time or the mental state to find out her details.

Oliver didn't know Ava went abroad so he kept looking for Ava for five years. He almost gave up, until she showed up and played star at the bar on 14th Feb and Oliver finally found her. It was Melody's death anniversary and he would always go to a bar to get drunk that day. It was a pure coincidence that he met her there on that day. Seeing her the hatred, he has been holding inside for years, came out and he instantly planned to stain her and make Ava's life miserable. It became an easy job when he found out Ava was drugged and he took her to the hotel.

Oliver figured if Ava was miserable so will be Lilly but unexpectedly, when Oliver got to know Ava, he realized she was actually innocent. In fact, he was so angry with Lily that he didn't even consider that Ava was also suffering at that time and she probably didn't know any of it. Because of Lily he has been hating Ava and hurting her all this time.

Oliver stayed in that room full of memories and thought about Ava. He placed the warm brooch beside Melody's violin and said lightly, "Mel, happy birthday! Do you like the present I brought for you? I hope you do."

Suddenly Oliver laughed out loud his laugh was full of sarcasm. "Mel, it's been more than 5 years since you left me, but I am still reluctant to let go. I was waiting for you to grow up but when you did you just left me. Why did you do that?"

Oliver looked at the distance and thought, in just a few months, his life has completely changed. Oliver now came to realize that he couldn't change the past all he could do was to put it down and look forward to the future bravely.
