Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1742

As the nurse passing by caught the scene and hurried over, attempting to defuse the escalating situation, Listina lashed out with fists and feet, her gaze locking onto Carol with the venom of a viper.

Carol felt a chill crawl up her spine at that piercing stare. Her lips pressed as she glanced at her own bleeding arm. This woman was truly unhinged, to mark her so deliberately.

"Carol, you wench! What are you so smug about? What are you flaunting? Felix is mine, you hear me? Mine! We've known each other for years, and I know him better than anyone. Just you wait, you'll get what's coming to you!"

Carol felt her own anger boiling over, her cheeks flushing red.

"Do you even realize the surgeon who operated on you was hired by me? The copay for your surgery was covered by me. Even just for those two things, you ought to show some gratitude."

"What? Did I beg you for help? Or are you just playing the martyr? You deserve everything you get. I won't thank you. You owe me, and let me tell you, one day you'll be paying me a whole lot more. The Millers are all the same; not a decent one among you!"

With that, Carol's hand swung out, connecting with a sharp slap to Listina's face.

Listina's pupils contracted in disbelief as she touched her cheek, "You dared to hit me?"

Carol's chest heaved with her rapid breaths, her mouth a tight line, "Yes, I hit you. Watch your mouth!"

"You hit me. I'm calling Felix right now. He needs to see just how vile you are!"

She called Felix right away; before it got through, she gazed at Carol with a smug look.

"Oh, Carol, educated Ms. Miller, too bad you're just a fool in my eyes. You just wait and watch as you ruin everything the Miller family ever had."

Before her voice trailed off, her call connected; she put Felix on speakerphone on purpose.

"Felix, it's me, Listina. Carol hit me; you need to come to the hospital right now. She's gone mad. Felix, I want to see you."
