Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1237

She pleaded, "I beg you."

Maja's life hadn't exactly been a walk in the park. She'd often found herself in dire straits, but rarely did she ever utter these words of plea.

The man's eyes twitched slightly, but he remained otherwise unfazed, his expression a mix of curiosity and scrutiny.

"So do you want to meet him, watch him sign the share transfer agreement, and see him fall from grace? You love him, yet you're willing to bring about his downfall?"

Maja fell silent, the man's words hitting her where it hurt the most.

The man reached out, steadying her by the arm.

"Let me take you home, Maja. With your vision impaired as it is, it's not safe for you to wander around."

But Maja pulled away, tears streaming down her face.

Strangely enough, she didn't want to cry, but the thought of Ian with broken fingers left her heartbroken. She knew him all too well. Even in this state, he would never seek medical attention.

He rarely ever took care of himself.

Before she entered his life, his demeanor towards everyone, including himself, had always been indifferent.

The man stood beside her, watching as she seemed to lose her bearings, like an animal trapped in a cage, uncertain of how to find her way out.

She slid down the wall, landing in a slump on the ground.

Her eyes were fixed on the space ahead, but her vision was shrouded in darkness, a fitting reflection of the path that lay ahead of her.

Unhurried, the man asked, "Are you thirsty? Do you need some water?"

Maja did not respond.

Her lips were dry and cracked, revealing lines of blood. Speaking was painful, but in a self-destructive manner, she refused to drink.

The man knelt down beside her, quietly observing her.

Maja could feel his presence. The next moment, her chin was lifted, and a glass of water was brought to her lips.

She tried to turn away, but his grip on her was firm, leaving a red mark on her chin.

Finally, after finishing half the glass, her lips were no longer parched.

The man set the glass aside.

"So, you can't accept that you and Ian are from different worlds, and is it because of you that he's in such a terrible state? If you want to see him, you can. I can help you, but I'll have to take you to Eric first. I'm no saint, Maja."

Maja froze, but did not speak.
