Buzz. Dylan's ears rang with the sudden silence that followed.
Trembling with barely contained anger, it took a few long moments for Beck to finally speak up. "Sure, Judith feels bad, but what about Maja? She nearly died tonight, Dylan. When are you going to wake up to reality?"
Dylan crouched on the spot, utterly baffled by Beck's sudden outburst.
They had never fought like this before. Not once in all their years as brothers.
But tonight, Beck wasn't just arguing. He had come to blows.
What did Maja's suffering have to do with him? She deserved to die, for all Dylan cared. If it hadn't been for Beck and Ian's timely arrival, Maja would be a lifeless body at the bottom of the river by now.
Beck felt a painful lump in his throat as he forced a smile. "Dylan, let's go see Dad tonight. I've got things to say to him, and to you as well."
After hanging up the phone, Dylan's brow furrowed in thought, wondering what Beck was so eager to discuss.
He stood up, ready to leave, when Judith, who had been fast asleep, suddenly awoke and clutched at his sleeve.
"Dylan, you're leaving? Have you given up on me too? Please don't go, I swear I'll die. My heart hurts so much."
Dylan patted her back soothingly. "I'm just going to see how Dad's doing and when he might wake up."
Judith let out a sigh of relief. She had thought he was rushing off to Maja.
"Augus would never wake up", she thought, a twisted smile curling her lips.
"Okay, Dylan, just hurry back."
Dylan nodded and turned to leave, his eyes hardening for a moment.
On the way to the Sanders residence, his expression was grim as he contemplated the inevitable confrontation with Beck.
Not only had Beck laid hands on him, the eldest, but he had also gone after Judith. The man was out of control. Had he been led astray by Ian's influence?
Dylan's scowl deepened, and an hour later, he pulled up outside the Sanders family's estate.
Augus was still in a coma, despite the doctors' repeated assurances that it was just a severe panic attack. Yet, there was no sign of him waking up.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
