Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 924

Chapter 924

The room suddenly went dead silent, to the point where lan felt like he couldn't hear anything at all.

His hands were gripping the wheelchair so hard that the veins on his hands were bulging.

Maja's words packed a punch, doubly so because she was unaware that Darlene's baby wasn't lan's.

She said Coco's life mattered more than Ian's child.

She once carried lan's child too. Her words were a subtle dig at lan for not caring enough when she lost their child.

Her words felt like a dagger straight into his heart.

lan coughed a few times, at a loss for a response.

In front of her, he could be tough or unreasonable.

But after she said those words, he lost all ability to argue.

His lips clenched shut as he listened to her question the doctor.

"How's Coco doing now?"

"Coco is improving; the primary doctor is doing everything to save it."

The rest of the conversation was just background noise for lan.

The human brain was a funny thing, even though he was straining to hear the conversation, the sounds were just a jumbled mess that gave him a headache.

He glanced over in Jeff's direction.

Jeff immediately came over, standing behind him and silently pushing his wheelchair.

lan was weak, he could normally maneuver the wheelchair himself, but now his hands could do nothing more than grip the wheelchair.

Maja wasn't having an easy time either, she was talking to the doctor while seeing Jeff pushing lan away in the reflection of the glass in front of her.

She knew that his health had deteriorated because of her. Despite his harsh words, she couldn't help but fight back.

She knew that was just the kind of person he was, cruel in his words but never really taking any real action.

The owner might get another dog in the future, but no dog could replace the feelings this dog brought him.

For someone who's lonely, the healing power of pets was indescribable.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, have a drink of water, the surgery might go on till late"

Maja held the paper cup the doctor handed her, even though it was filled with hot water, she just held it tightly, not reacting at all.

The doctor sighed, asking again, "Did they catch the person who abused the dog?"

At the doctor's question, Maja immediately tensed up, then slowly nodded.

She had already punished Darlene enough, now Darlene was taken away by lan, and Darlene's face might never recover after being slapped hard by her.

"As long as they caught the person who abused the dog. Nowadays, too many people have unhealthy mental states, and they take out all their dissatisfaction on animals."

Maja wasn't really listening, her gaze shifted towards the window.

All that was left outside the window was the clean stairs of the hospital, lan and Jeff were already gone.
