After hanging up the phone, he didn't revisit the idea of checking on Carol. Instead, he made his way to the entrance. As he arrived the house next door, where Listina lived, he found Listina slumped on the couch, tears streaming down her face, her palms smeared with blood.
"Felix."
At the sight of him, Listina's sobs grew more intense. Frowning, Felix called for the family doctor and asked, "What happened?"
"I was slicing apples and I cut myself by accident. I'm in so much pain. And when I think about you marrying Carol, I feel like I just can't go on. I don't know what you're thinking, Felix. I can't read you, and it's unbearable."
But Listina harbored malice in her heart. She was determined to ruin the wedding. If there was even a sliver of concern in Felix’s heart for her, she believed she could succeed.
The family doctor arrived quickly, examined Listina's wound, and began bandaging it. It wasn't deep enough to require stitches, but it bled enough to look alarming.
Once the doctor left, Listina clutched at Felix's sleeve, "Felix, please stay with me tonight. My head is spinning. I think I'm going to faint."
Felix touched her forehead and found she was indeed feverish, "I'll get you some fever reducer."
But Listina leaned into him and murmured, "I don't need medicine. Just help me to bed. My eyes hurt so badly."
Without a word, Felix helped her up and they went to the bedroom upstairs.
He had bought the villa for Listina, right next to the Miller family mansion, though he couldn't quite figure out why. By the time he realized it, the deed was done.
As they went upstairs and Listina lay in bed, she grabbed his sleeve, "Felix, I'm sweating. Can you help me take off my clothes? It's really hot in here."
Her mind was growing foggy, consumed with the thought that she couldn't let Felix leave tonight. She had to keep him here and even snap a photo to send to Carol.

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....
