Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1761

“Jeff, let's head back,” Ian said, his brows furrowed as he glanced outside.

Jeff had no choice but to hit the gas.

Once home, Ian brought up the idea of a wedding at the Grand Hall to Maja, but she shot it down without a second thought.

“I designed Greenfield Gardens myself, and that's where I want our wedding. Just close friends, nothing over the top.”

Ian reached out and gently rubbed her belly, where their future was steadily growing. The latest check-up showed everything was normal, and Ian couldn't bear the thought of any mishaps now.

He pulled her into an embrace. “Alright, Greenfield Gardens it is. Let’s have our wedding photos taken there, too. No one’s ever done that before.”

Maja chuckled at his flair for the dramatic. When she noticed the sweat on his forehead, she grabbed a tissue from the coffee table to wipe it away. But in the next moment, Ian fainted.

“Ian?” Maja first thought he was just exhausted and tried to wake him, but he wouldn’t stir. Frantically, she called Jeff for help to get Ian to the hospital and reached out to Dr. Sarah.

When Dr. Sarah saw Maja, her face was etched with concern. She hesitated, lips pressed tight, then finally placed a comforting hand on Maja's head.

“It’s probably something he’s been exposed to that’s triggered a reaction with his medication. He’s been toughing it out, but it looks like it was too much for him this time.”

Tears welled up in Maja’s eyes. “Is there really nothing we can do? What if Queena could help?”

Dr. Sarah carefully examined the data. “Queena’s blood does help Ian, but it would also make him forget his true self. He’d become utterly dependent on her, a puppet in her hands. We can’t let Queena come back. Whatever she’s concocted over the years, there’s no known cure. He has to endure it on his own.”

She set the data aside, her brow furrowed with concern.
