Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1525

In her dream, Maja felt the warm clasp of a hand in hers.

Before hitting the hay last night, she'd planned to set an alarm, hoping to rise and shine early.

But before she knew it, she had clocked a solid five or six hours of shut-eye.

When she awoke, the hospital room was basked in sunlight.

Ian’s hand was holding hers, and with the other, he was tapping away on a keyboard, seemingly replying to a message.

Maja was momentarily dazed at the sight of his face.

It wasn't until he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze that she snapped back to reality and heard him say, “You've got a full-body check-up scheduled today. I’ll be right here with you. You feeling hungry yet?”

“Ian, you’re up?”

He let go of her hand and reached for the disinfectant wipes on the nightstand, meticulously cleaning each of her fingers.

“I've been awake for a couple of hours now. You needed the extra Zs.”

The heaviness in her heart, weighed down by thoughts of Cynthia and Augus, made it hard for Maja to go back to sleep.

Ian, fresh out of bed, had already gathered the latest intel and ruffled her hair in a comforting gesture.

“Maja, don’t sweat it. Patric’s not going down that easy. I’m sure we’ll have a lead soon enough.”

He propped a pillow behind her back, helping her to sit up.

Sitting against the pillow, her spirit lifted a bit.

They both understood that the situation with the research base had to be resolved pronto. The eyes of the world were now on Forbidden Island, but so far, no one had turned up any useful info.

The media, however, had blown the lid off Forbidden Island's existence, causing quite the stir in public opinion.

The research base linked to Forbidden Island was clearly becoming a target for all.

Ian had already booked her check-up, and he stuck by her side through each and every test.
