Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1430

After hanging up the phone, Dylan immediately relayed Judith's words to Beck.

Beck was livid, itching to grab a gun, hunt down Judith, and unload a magazine into her.

But Dylan raised his hand to his forehead, massaging it wearily.

"I'm not sure if Ian knows anything about this so-called secret organization. Beck, go ask him," Dylan urged.

At the moment, Dylan didn't dare face Maja, nor did he dare confront Ian.

He just wanted to find somewhere to hide away, but his father's coma was his burden to bear as the eldest son.

Yet his mind was in turmoil. The woman in the photograph he'd seen at his father's place haunted him. She didn't seem to be the same Arlene he knew.

If she wasn't Arlene, then she could only be Cynthia.

And considering the name 'Cynthia' that Augus would sometimes call out during his bouts of unconsciousness, could it be that the woman Augus truly loved was Cynthia, not Arlene?

The thought left a bitter taste in Dylan's mouth. As Arlene's child, he didn't see this revelation as good news, but rather as a sour betrayal.

Arlene might not have been a model mother. She'd always been spineless in Augus's presence and had a weak presence at home, but she had always managed the Sanders family affairs with meticulous care.

With a sigh, Dylan continued giving instructions to Beck.

"Find out if there's an antidote, and if this poisoning business is even true."

Beck didn't dare delay and immediately called Ian.

Ian was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. He had recently hired a private chef to craft a tailored prenatal menu for Maja.

He was still memorizing the list of forbidden foods during pregnancy and now stood in the kitchen, observing how the chef worked his magic.

The ring of his phone was a distraction he was reluctant to entertain.

He didn't want anything to disrupt the tranquility of his world with Maja.

But he knew that he and Maja were about to embark on a journey and that he needed to address the Sanders family matters swiftly.

He pressed the answer button, and Beck's voice came through.

"Ian, Judith just confessed she poisoned my dad, but the hospital equipment can't detect it. She mentioned it's from some secret organization. Do you know anything about it?"

As Ian took the call, Maja received a text.

It was from K.

[Congratulations on finding your family. But it looks like your father is likely to be a vegetable for life.]

The tone was disgustingly smug.

Maja, her face cold, sent a reply.

[It seems like you know everything, huh?]

K didn't text back but sent a photo instead. It showed an office desk with a document on it, implying there was nothing he didn't know about, including her identity.
