Chapter 442
Early in the morning the next day, Maja got a call from Maria, who was babbling about Selena showing up at Rosewood Manor.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, Ms. Casson is throwing a fit and demanding you come back right now.”
Whenever Selena paid a visit, it was never a good sign.
Why was she poking around, looking for trouble?
No matter how much she tried to keep a low profile in front of Selena, she was never liked. It was better to avoid her.
“Ms. Maria, just tell her I’m swamped with work. I really don’t have the time.”
Work was just an excuse, but after hanging up, she actually got a call from Mr. Felton. He told her that the cherry wood flooring was available in three batches. He even sent her a video asking which batch’she wanted..
“Penny, you’re one lucky duck. One batch is a customer return, and two are clearance items found in the warehouse. All are top–notch, even better than the returned batch. Have a look at the video.”
But videos could be deceiving, so Maja responded, “How about this? I’ll head out now and go straight to Crystalbrook Valley to handpick the goods. Is that okay?”
This kind of return was rare, and probably hundreds of others were waiting for it.
Mr. Felton had promised it to her last time, and with lan’s help, he had to reserve it for her.
He agreed.
Maja didn’t dare delay. She packed up and immediately drove to Crystalbrook Valley.
By the time she arrived, it was already noon.
She inspected the batches one by one, eventually choosing the highest quality batch from the clearance items, placed the order on the spot, and had the workers déliver it to Greenfield.
Once the cherry wood flooring issue was resolved, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had intended to head back to Greenfield that night, but then she remembered the task Neil had given her: finding Lillian’s child.
Lillian had given birth in Crystalbrook Valley, and the hospital had records of this.
Reluctantly, she went to the hospital. But because the incident happened over twenty years ago, the hospital’s records were a mess. The recent ten years were arranged by year, but the previous ones were all over the place. She had to search through each record on the shelf.
Maja spent three hours searching, her eyes almost blurry, and still found nothing.
When she was about to check the last row, her stomach started growling.
Just then, lan called.
Maja was unaware that lan had sent ointment to RosenGarden.
“Where are you?”
“I’m in Crystalbrook Valley.”
Hearing her say “Crystalbrook Valley“, she felt the atmosphere over the phone instantly turn icy.
She was about to say that she came here for the Greenfield Gardens business, but lan paused for a moment and said coldly, “Your leg has healed? You’re so eager to run to meet your husband?”
Only then did Maja remember that Nathan was also in Crystalbrook Valley.
The call was abruptly hung up.
Maja listened to the dial tone, furrowing her brows.
Just then, as she looked down, she spotted the hospital record from that time. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took the names of the two nurses to
inquire.
But what was strange was that not long after Lillian gave birth, all the doctors involved in the delivery resigned.
All of them, without exception.
Maja furrowed her brows.
If it was just because they had mixed up the babies, everyone resigning seemed a bit over the top.
There must be other reasons.
But the hospital staff had changed several times since then, and those who had worked there at the time all claimed ignorance.
Other than confirming that this wasn’t just a simple case of mixing up babies, Maja didn’t find any other clues.

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....
