**CHAPTER TWENTY THREE**
***********
The people around and sympathizers gathered round the scene and threatened the man with cops..
The driver of the car carried him into his car and drove him to the hospital
He was quic-kly rushed into the emergency unit of Zack hospitals
*

“Did you see Richa-rd this morning?” Daniella asked, coming out of Richa-rd ‘s room just at the same time Drake is coming out of his room
“No, he’s not in his room?”
“Yes, I checked alre-ady” she replied
“Maybe he went somewhere to cry again, he must be really broken” Drake replied, feeling sad again
” You know this is p@rt of what I was avoiding when the talk about his relationsh!pwith Snow c@m£ up, I love my happy and cheerful Richa-rd , I don’t like what Snow did to him at all, now look, he lost his smile and cheerfulness” Daniella said
” Mum, you can’t blame him, love is blind and it makes you do things you can’t imagine, it’s not his fault, he’s in love” Drake replied
Ella’s expression suddenly changed
“what is that?” She said, pointing at the TV, Drake left it on last night, forgetting to put it off
He looked at it and on TV is the news about the accident that happened in their street this morning
They saw Richa-rd being rushed into a car
“I’m finished!, My son!!!!” Ella screamed and ran out of the house
” Mum!, Mum! ” Drake called, running after her
She never st©pped
She has tears in her eyes as she ran with Drake after her
They got to the only hospital in the neighborhood, Zack hospitals
“My son… The one who that was rushed here earlier … plea-se… I really nee-d to see him, plea-se!! ” She yelled, shedding more tears
” Calm down madam” a doctor said, coming out of the ward .
She gr@bb£d his coat by the n£¢k
“No doctor, I can’t calm down, it’s my son we’re talking about!, Drake here is the apple of my eyes but him, he’s my life!, Doctor plea-se!!” She ranted, crying profusely
Crying Drake tried to call his mum down but it’s Impossible
She held ti-ghtly
“Madam calm down, your son will be ok, it’s a promise” the doctor said
” My son” Ella said, letting him go, she sat on the ground and resumed crying
Drake calmed her down to the best of his knowledge and they sat in the ward for almost two hours
The two doctors c@m£ out of the unit and they both spranged up
“How is he!, He’s ok right!” Ella rushed hopefully
“Yes, he’s ok but….
” But what?, plea-se don’t say that word, it scares me to the bone” she said fearfully
” Nothing much, his head got fractured and that affected his memory”
” Meaning…. Amnesia? ” Drake said
” Correct, he’ll be waking up with amnesia, his memory will be lost, though it might come back soon, it might come back late, or it might never come back” the doctor continued
” What! ” Drake exclaimed
” Meaning he’ll forget his past?” Ella said
“Sure” the doctor replied
” But other than that, he’ll be ok” she said
“Yes, nothing more than that, the wound on his head will heal in a matter of one week” he replied
Ella wiped her tears
” Thanks doctor, can we go see him?”
*Sure, you can go see him when he has been moved to the ward” he replied and left
“You seem happy mother” Drake said
” I’m not happy about his accident, but I’m happy about what it brou-ght, forgetting about Snow is the best thing I can ask for” Ella replied
” Mother… ”
” I’m saying the truth right now Drake, if he forgets about him, then we’ll go back to being the happy family we are.. and also, we’re moving out of Seoul” she said
Drake’s eyes wi-de-ned
” To where? ” He asked
” Busan” she replied seriously
“I’m sorry madam” the driver finally spoke when he saw she has calmed down
Rina faced her
“It’s ok, not your fault, it’s my son, he’s depressed, that’s why, or was it you who ran into him?” Rina said
” Honestly it was him who suddenly entered the road” he replied
” It’s ok, you can go” Rina said
“No, I’ll just wait till I see him” he replied…

Ace got back home and made a call to Chloe, he fv¢ked her to his satisfaction again when she c@m£
*Can you… Just let me go Ace? ” She said
*What?, You’re tired of my d!¢k?” He said
“I… I…
He gr@bb£d her hand r0ûghly
“I make the rules, I tell you what to do, not you!” He yelled, letting her go
“Then is it true that you’re getting married to Snow? ” She asked
” No, I’m getting married to her money and the company’s money… Wait!, Now I just reasoned, getting married to her will just mean spending money, it’s a waste when I’m still gonna leave at the end of this month, I’ll just tell gullible Mr White to let’s shift it to next month, I’ll be gone before then, then he can get her marriage to himself” he said and laughed, drinking from his glas-s
Chloe trembled at this devil in front of her
She ran out of his house and when she got out
She bent down and cried bitterly
“What have I gotten myself into?, She’s my childhood friend, my only friend, then I got jealous when she got engaged with Ace four years ago, I’ve always been jealous of her, I traveled to England with Ace where he S-xed me every single day, I was enjoying it till he started fv¢king other girls
I c@m£ back home and found out she’s in love with Richa-rd and again, I got envious, and after all of that, this is what I got, ….. Getting fv¢ked like a bit-ch everyday, but I deserve it… Very very well, I’m a bit-ch , you’re a bit-ch Chloe and I hate myself for doing that right from the beginning” she lamented bitterly beside her car
She entered her car and cried throu-ghout the drive home
And she feels unbearable headache, she has been feeling that since few days ago, coupled with weakness and weight loss

“He hasn’t been picking my calls, I don’t know why” Pinky wondered, staring at her phone in the living room
She has been calling Drake since the day broke but he’s not picking
“He’s not breaking up with me is he?” She thought
Her phone rang and she picked it quic-kly, thinking it’s him but it turned out to be Riley
“Hey girlfriend”
“Pinky!, Did you hear what happened? ”
” What happened? ”
” Richa-rd had an accident! ”
” What!, An accident! ”
” Yes, in their street, just this morning and…
She never listened to the remaining one
She rushed out of the house
“Jeffery!” She yelled the name of her driver
“Yes Miss!”
“Drive me to Zack hospitals right now” she ordered and entered the car
That’s the only hospital in their street..
She got there in a bit and ran in
“I seek the ward of Richa-rd Larry, is he here?” He asked a nurse
” Yeah, that way” she replied
She rushed down the corridor and entered the ward
She c@m£ face to face with Ella and Drake… Richa-rd is unconscious on the be-d with another man in the ward
“Richa-rd !!” She screamed, coming closer
Rina blocked her way
“Pinky White?, What are you doing here” she said
“Mum…
” Don’t address me as mum, I just asked what you’re doing here, isn’t it enough that your sister turned my son into a living dead?, Isn’t it?, And now you’re here!, To do what!” Ella ranted angrily
” Mum plea-se calm down, Pinky come here” Drake replied, taking her hand
” If I’m your mother,let go of that hand, oh!, So it’s what I’m thinking” Ella said
Drake slowly let go of Pinky
“Yes, we’ve been d@t!ngfor sometime now” he said
” Oh My God!, The only thing I nee-d now is a gun!, I nee-d to kill myself!, Drake even you!, You and her?” She said, tears brimming at the corner of her eyes
” Mum I’m sorry, I just love her and….
” To hell with it Drake!, To hell!, With it!, Aren’t you happy with the happy life we’re living before?, Aren’t you?, A family that did your brother like this, you’re into her too, not in my lifetime, now Pinky I nee-d you to leave us alone!” Ella yelled, crying alre-ady
” Mum…
“Drake shut up!, Pinky leave!, And I wish I have cash with me here, I’d have given you the exact amount Snow gave me to start the boutique” Ella said
” I have cash with me” the man talked
He left the ward while Pinky kept begging
He c@m£ back with the money in a big envelope which he handed over to Ella
“It should be one million dollars or more” he said
“oh cool” Daniella said and f0rç£fully gave it to Pink
“Give it to your sis, tell her I thank her for all what she did in my family, now you can go and never come back” Ella said
Pinky started crying
” Drake I love you so much, I don’t want to leave you”
Drake cried too, knowing that nothing will make his mum change her mind
Pink was dragged out of the ward by the hospital guards
“Your phone” Ella said
Drake gave her his phone immediately
She searched his contacts and found the one saved as “girlfriend”
She deleted it
She gave his phone back to him and he took it in tears
“Immediately he wakes up, we’re moving for Busan, I’ll just sell my boutique and start over there, you’ll register for your final exams in any available school, I can’t lose my family” Ella said, wiping her tears

Pinky Cried throu-ghout the drive home
She has never been this heartbroken
All because of her sister
She got home and went straight to her room to cry her eyes out
Evening**
“Ace suddenly called for the postponement of the wedding to next month for personal reasons” Gabriel broke the news to Evelyn
“I didn’t hear anything” she replied abs£ntmindedly
“Evelyn..
“And why have I not seen Pink” Evelyn interrupted
Almost immediately, Pink c@m£ downstairs and it collided with when Snow is just coming from work
Pink has tears allover her swollen face and her eyes are so red
“Pinky” Evelyn said, standing up
“What the hell happened to your face” Snow said
“Don’t pretend like you care!, Just wait!’ Pinky snapped
She went upstairs and c@m£ back with an envelope which she threw at Snow
“That’s the money you gave madam Ella for her boutique, and she said thanks for almost killing her son, wicked fellow!, You succeed in destroying my relationsh!pwith Drake too,I hate you snow!” She spat before running back upstairs
Evelyn ran after him while Snow stood in her tracks, like her br@in wants to remember something but can’t
She held her head ti-ght before getting normal again
“Are you ok?” Gabriel asked
“Weird” she said before going upstairs

Two weeks later**
“Richa-rd !, You told me you have a morning clas-s today, you aren’t going anymore?” Ella said from the living room
Richa-rd c@m£ out to her and pe-cked her
“I’ll be on my way, I love you!” He said before heading out
Ella smiled
He really did lose his memory and they’re alre-ady in Busan
They left Seoul the second day after he woke up with a memory loss
She has to introduce herself to him as his mum and Drake as his brother
Luckily he got used to them instantly
She threw away his phone and he got another, with a new sim
With the help of professor Gary again, he got transferred from Bright br@ins university to Griffins university in Busan to continue his academics
She sold her boutique in Seoul and after returning the driver’s money, they settled down in Busan with the rest of the money and started a smaller boutique
Larry got registered in a nearby school for his final exams which is coming up next week
He has been quite and always moody, you know why but Ella believes he’ll get over her with time
So once again, Ella got back the happy family she wanted..

Sandra entered Snow’s office to tell her it’s time to meet with the management of staffs of the company
She met her slee-ping on her chair
“How magnificent” she thought, coming in fully
She hasn’t been able to reach Richa-rd and she has been worried
Jake tried locating him but they were told they moved out of Seoul without telling anyone their location
Sandra inhaled
“She’s really possessed” she thought
She’s about to tap her when she saw the n£¢klace on her n£¢k again
She has been noticing it since last week and it’s rather strange
Snow used n£¢klaces before but not this type with a crystal pendant that has feathers
She made to t©uçh it but Snow woke up
“Trying to steal my n£¢klace huh” she said
“Snow where did you get it from?” She asked
“None of your business” Snow replied and stood
“Snow it’s weird” she said again
Snow gave her one deadly look
“Get out!’
TBC…
