Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 

He coldly and ruthlessly comforted himself like this, quickly averting his gaze. 

After entering the hospital, Maja finally couldn’t hold on anymore, leaning against the wall to catch her breath. 

The drugs in her body were still kicking in, and her cheek stung from a slap. 

Between pain and heat, she felt dizzy. 

Luckily, a nurse passed by and helped her into a ward. 

Reflecting on the night’s events, Maja felt like throwing up. 

And she did throw up, accepting the doctor’s arrangements for an infusion with a pale face. 

At this time, Neil still had to send a text, reminding her not to forget to bring lan back. 

“Maja, since you married lan, you gotta let him come to the Penny feathers at least once.” 

Maja guessed right away that the Pennyfeathers needed lan to hold the fort to dispel the rumors. 

After all, the Pennyfeathers had passed the second financing round, and their network would only grow. 

Many people, out of respect for the marriage between the Pennyfeathers and the Raymonds, would give the Pennyfeathers shortcuts; in reality, they were giving respect to lan and the Raymonds. 

But in this circle, no one is doing charity; there must be a return. 

If the relationship between the Pennyfeathers and the Raymonds is not good, then the return offered by the Pennyfeathers would be meager, not worth a second glance, so the Pennyfeathers must prove that lan cares about this marriage. 

Thus, those who respected them would continue to do so. 

Sitting alone in the hospital, Maja felt a chill in her heart. 

But Neil sent not just one message but another. 

“I shouldn’t argue with you so much, but you have to believe it’s all for your own good.” 

A slap followed by candy was his usual trick. 

Maja forced a smile. 

But after her mother’s death, her father took responsibility for everything, and she had seen how hard her father worked to make money when she was a child. 

She couldn’t just leave Neil alone, especially since Neil only had a year left. 

Thinking about this, Maja felt upset. 

She didn’t reply to this message and saw his last sentence. 

“If you have lan to rely on, your future will be ‘easier. That way, I’ll be at peace even if I’m not around one day.” 

Maja had to reply to this. 

“Dad, I understand; don’t talk like that anymore.” 

Because Neil didn’t have much time left, Maja couldn’t stand him talking like this. 

On such a stuffy and humid night, alone in the hospital, staring at the dark night outside the window, listening to the occasional coughing of patients in the corridor, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness and isolation. 

She lowered her eyelashes, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. 

Her phone beeped; she thought it was Neil again. Suppressing the emotions churning in her heart, she opened it to see it was 

lan. 

“You don’t need to pay back the money.” 

His tone was cold; even through the screen, it felt colder. 

But thinking of this man who saved her twice, warmth miraculously filled her heart. 

“Thank you.” 

lan looked at these two formal words and wanted to ask her, how are you now?
