Daniel in the hospital

At the hospital,

While Oliver and Ava were sleeping peacefully at home, Daniel was going through hell. Jason brought him to the hospital but the doctor said, since Daniel has been drinking for the past 2 days continuously without eating anything else, it has done a lot of damage to his liver and now his stomach was bleeding. The doctors tried to drain all the alcohol from his body and stop the bleeding, which was a very painful process. Daniel was in pain all night before he was given some pain killer and put to sleep to recover.

It was still early morning when Daniel woke up, he smelled the disinfectant and already knew he was at the hospital. Daniel frowned and moved slightly. Jason was sitting beside him since he was brought to the private room, he was half asleep when he noticed Daniel moving. He instantly woke up and rubbed his eyes.

"CEO Sherman, are you awake?"

Hearing the familiar voice Daniel opened his eyes and looked at Jason, he said in a very low voice, "Yeah, what's going on? Why are you here?" Daniel tried to remember what happened and why he was at the hospital.

"You fainted because of internal bleeding at home. Don't you remember? You locked yourself up in the bedroom and drank and smoked for 2 days. I had to bring you to the hospital last night. God, what were you thinking Mr. Sherman? Do you know the doctor could barely save you last night, if I was a little late you would be dead by now." Jason said in a slightly angry tone. He couldn't understand Daniel's destructive love for Ava.

Daniel could feel the anger in Jason's tone but he didn't mind, he knew, Jason cared about him. He was grateful that at his most vulnerable time Jason was beside him. He smiled lightly, and said, "I am ok Jason. Thank you for saving my life last night."

Jason could still feel the sadness in Daniel, he sighed and said, "CEO Sherman, you need to let it go. I understand that you love her very much but you cannot force her to be with you if she didn't want to be with you, you know." Jason tried to call Ava a few more times when Daniel went into critical condition last night and the doctors said they didn't know if they could save him but Ava's phone was still switched off. Jason finally concluded that Ava has chosen her life and didn't want anything to do with Daniel so he gave up and didn't call her anymore when Daniel was finally rescued.

Daniel felt something wrong with Jason's tone he looked at him and asked slowly, "Did you call her?"

Jason kept silent, Daniel was already hurting, and he didn't want to hurt him more by telling him that Ava switched off her phone seeing he was calling her last night.

But who was Daniel? He already understood that Ava might have refused to take the call or something. Ava, you are really very cruel. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "We have already divorced, she has nothing to do with me anymore, Jason. So don't call her in the future regarding me. OK!"

"Yes CEO!" Jason felt really bad for Daniel at the moment. He didn't know what was the real story between Ava, Daniel, and Oliver. If it wasn't for the newspapers he wouldn't even know Ava was Oliver Knight's wife. But then why she was with Daniel? And Daniel loved her so much then why did she treat him like this? She even refused to take his call knowing Daniel could be going through some difficult time. Jason felt really disappointed in Ava at that moment. He thought AVa was a kind woman when she adopted Nina but her recent attitude toward Daniel completely changed his view toward her.

"CEO Sherman, I will get some porridge for you, you need to eat something. Do you need anything else?"

Daniel shook his head and said lightly, "No, Thank you."

Jason walked out of the room and sat there on the bench just outside of Daniel's room, he took his phone out and stared at the phone screen, Seeing Daniel so lost he wanted to try to call Ava one more time, after all, she was the only one who knew Daniel well enough to look after him besides, if she came Daniel will be happy. But Ava already made it clear by rejecting the call that she didn't want to do anything with him, Daniel also told him not to call her so in the end after thinking for a while, he dialed Moly's number.

Molly picked up the call after a few times and answered in a groggy voice, "Hello!"

"Miss Molly this is assistant Pei, sorry to call you this early," Jason said hesitantly. Someone needs to be here with CEO Sherman, since he doesn't have any other family and Ava wasn't picking up the call he had no choice but to call Molly. He was aware that Moly was friends with Ava and Daniel so he thought maybe she will be willing to take care of Daniel until he gets better.

"It's ok assistant Pei. What can I do for you?"

"Miss Molly, It's….It's actually about CEO Sherman."

"Danny? What happened to Danny?" Molly was wide awake hearing Daniel's name. She didn't even realize she was sounding more anxious.

Jason paused then said, "CEO Sherman is in the hospital, do you think you can come? I mean there is no one to look after him and he really needs someone beside him right now. "

"What! Why? What happened? And what do you mean there is no one to look after him? Where is Ava?" Molly shouted out.

"They got divorce," Jason said calmly then explained everything about when they got divorced and how Daniel ended up in the hospital. "I tried to call Miss Ava but she rejected my call and then turned off her phone."

Molly was completely dumbfounded when she heard Ava got divorced from Daniel. Although she knew it will happen eventually because who was Oliver Knight? Since he decided to have Ava back, there was no one in the world who could stop him but what broke her heart was that after the divorce she didn't even bother to know how Daniel was coping. Everyone including Ava knew how much Daniel loved her then how could she treat Daniel like that? Molly was really angry at Ava at that point. "Assistant Pei, send me the address to the hospital, I'll be right there, and don't worry I will look after Daniel until he gets better," Molly assured Jason.

Jason let out a breath of relief and texted the address to Molly then went to buy some porridge for Daniel.
