Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1852

One moment, she thought he deserved it; the next, her head throbbed with a mix of emotions and pain.

By the time she reached the hospital, she just happened to see the doctor leaving Felix's room.

Carol hesitated at the door, wrestling with her feelings, before she finally pushed it open slowly.

Felix was lying in the hospital bed, an IV needle sticking out of the back of his hand.

Soon, a nurse came in to give her some instructions.

"The fever hasn't broken yet. When this bag is empty, ring the bell next to you," the nurse said, glancing at her with a hint of curiosity. "Are you family?"

"Ah, yes, I am."

"You should go complete the paperwork while the medication drips. It's going to be a while."

After Carol finished with the paperwork and returned, she took a seat by the bed.

In her memory, this might have been the first time she sat by his bed like this.

She felt restless, her gaze fixed on Felix's face, unable to extinguish the burning anger inside her.

It wasn't until the evening, after the nurse had changed his medication several times, that she stood to leave.

But then she noticed her sleeve caught in his grasp.

Her brow furrowed as she tried to pull away, but when she looked up, their eyes met.

Felix’s fever seemed strangely persistent, not completely subsiding. Carol even thought it might fry his brains.

Now, with his eyes open, he was staring at her unwaveringly.

Impatient, she attempted to yank her sleeve back.

But Felix suddenly spoke, "Don't go."

"Carol, I was wrong, truly. I know I messed up."

Her curiosity piqued, wondering if his mind was muddled.

She slowly sat back down, no longer in a rush to leave.

"What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have lied to you. I should've realized sooner how good you are to me, how you're the best thing for me."
