Carol was livid, but she never expected the news to leak to the outside world.
She called Abner, but he didn’t pick up. Opening their chat, she dropped a question mark.
Still no response from Abner. It seemed he wasn’t going to talk to her until she returned. Taking a deep breath, she took away her phone screen.
After the whole fiasco, the last thing she wanted was to go shopping for clothes.
Meanwhile, Felix hung up the phone, and Nathan appeared behind him, playfully nudging his back.
“Felix, were you chatting up Carol? You guys not planning on calling it quits? What if Listina finds out?”
Felix didn’t reply, and just stared blankly at his phone.
Nathan realized Felix hadn’t heard a word he'd said.
“Felix?”
“Hmm?”
Nathan was about to repeat himself but then shook his head, “Forget it, I wouldn’t want to break up with her either. That’s Ms. Miller we’re talking about. I could stare at that face for a decade and not get bored.”
He patted Felix’s shoulder, adding, “Tomorrow’s Listina’s birthday; you got her present sorted?”
“Yeah.”
His responses were short as he pocketed his phone.
Nathan felt there was nothing more to say, so he waved goodbye, “Hit me up tomorrow. I’ll come over with you to see Listina. The three of us can celebrate her birthday together. I’ve got a gift for her, too.”
“Sure.”
After Nathan left, Felix entered Listina’s hospital room. Listina was sitting on the bed, looking pale. She had been cheerful just moments before.
“Felix, you’ve got work this afternoon. You can head out. Just come with Nathan tomorrow; he mentioned he’s stopping by.”
“Alright, rest up.”
He reached out and ruffled her hair softly. Listina didn’t say much, and just clutched the bedsheet tightly.
Felix gave a few more instructions before leaving, planning to go straight to his apartment. But Carol didn’t return that evening.
He called her, but she didn’t answer. He even wondered if she had decided to go back to the Miller family and resume her lofty status as Ms. Miller.

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....
