Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1226

A smirk of disdain was etched deep into Patrick's eyes. This was where Ian fell short compared to him. At least he wouldn't lose his sense of reasoning over Maja's disappearance.

He quietly perused the files in his hand, only to be interrupted by the call of Steve from the side.

"Eric, Eric?"

Startled, he returned to his senses and responded with a soft smile.

"Yes, Dad. What is it?"

"You'll need to take on extra responsibilities in the company for a while. I don't think Ian will be returning to work anytime soon."

"I'm his older brother. It's only right for me to share his burdens."

Steve patted his shoulder with a satisfied expression on his face. However, Patrick's mind was already elsewhere, lost in thought.

Who could have taken Maja and for what purpose?

At the hospital.

The lights in the emergency room finally dimmed and the doctor emerged, wheeling Judith out.

"She's out of immediate danger, but Ms. Sanders is extremely weak. She needs meticulous care from now on."

Dylan exhaled a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall. Only then did he feel the warmth returning to his stiff limbs.

"Okay, I understand."

Then he followed the doctor into Judith's room.

When Dylan saw Judith's pale face, her eyes swollen from crying, a pang of discomfort gnawed at his heart.

His lips tightened, a flash of coldness passing through his eyes.

His phone began to ring. A shaky male voice came through, one of his subordinates.

"Mr. Sanders, Ian has razed the mansion to the ground."

Intolerable!

Dylan's grip on his phone tightened and his breath became ragged.

"Tell the men searching for Maja. If they find her, dispose of her on the spot. Don't let Ian find even her bones."

The man on the phone shivered at the order.

"Mr. Sanders, are you sure?"
