Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1393

Duke broke out in sweat; the concept of not hitting women was absent from his cognition. However, he was in a hospital now, and the Haskins family were just behind that door, so he restrained himself.

As the sharp pain subsided, he slowly straightened up, giving Zoey an impassive stare. Zoey frowned and turned her attention away from Duke, instead focusing her concern on the room.

After standing for two grueling hours, numbness spreading through her body, there finally came a stir from inside the room.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Fitch's eyelids twitched. Mia was the first to react, grasping his hand in hers urgently.

“Fitch!”

Fitch opened his eyes, gazing indifferently at the ceiling.

Tears streamed down Mia's face, “How do you feel, Fitch? Do you remember anything?”

Fitch's head ached slightly, but after all, it was only a minor surgery. He raised his hand to massage his temples and slowly sat up with assistance.

The rest of the Haskins family looked uneasy, with many of them hastily putting on a facade.

“It’s good to see you’re alright, Fitch.”

“Yeah, it’s a blessing you woke up. I couldn’t believe you were gone.”

The truth was, none of them had bothered to double-check the body before hastily arranging the funeral.

Mia’s gaze shot outside to where Zoey stood, a malicious glint in her eyes.

“Fitch, there’s this sleazy woman who took advantage of you while you were out. She tricked you, claiming she was your wife. Disgusting, right? You can’t let her get away with that!”

Fitch had just woken up and found the clamor irritating.

With a face full of inquiry, Mia wondered, before the surgery, her brother was protective of Zoey. What about now?

“Fitch, you wanna settle the score with that woman?”

Fitch’s brows knitted together, his tone icy, “Everyone, out. I need Tyler.”

He had something important to confirm with Tyler. Zoey was not mentioned at all.

Mia smirked triumphantly, “Tyler’s just outside waiting; I’ll get him!”
