Chapter 628
lan was up on his feet, ready to hit the road.
But his sight was blurry, his eyes heavily fixated on the dishes on the table.
These were birthday meals prepared by his Mom, Selena, and his Granny, Edith, who sneakily drugged him.
A sharp pain hit lan’s heart, and he rubbed his forehead.
“I don’t love Carlene; I don’t want to marry her. Eric may still be alive, so,”
His words were cut off by Edith.
“Don’t lie to me anymore, Holden Raymond has already told me that Eric can’t possibly be alive, even though I wish he were. lan, if you’re feeling bad, let Carlene help you.”
Feeling dizzy, lan saw Carlene approaching him through his blurred vision.
“Back off!”
He grabbed her wrist and pushed her away forcefully.
Carlene fell onto the floor, almost bursting into tears..
Edith was furious, grabbing lan’s clothes.
“What the hell are you doing, are you not satisfied with all my arrangements? Do you even consider me as family anymore?”
lan held back his remaining sanity, not wanting to push her over. After all, Edith was old and wouldn’t be able to handle it.
“I consider you as family, but what about you? Am I just a substitute for Eric? I’m a person with feelings, don’t you guys see that?!” After saying that, lan couldn’t be bothered to say more, his aura growing colder.
“I won’t be coming back.”
With no hesitation, he walked out.
But the next second, Edith suddenly picked up a chair nearby and smashed it into lan’s head..
Selena, who saw it all, screamed in terror.
lan didn’t expect Edith to have such strength at this age, let alone drugging him and then smashing a chair on him.
His head was spinning, and he wasn’t able to dodge it because of his dizziness. The chair hit his head hard.
Edith regretted her impulsive decision the moment the chair left her hand.
But it was already too late. Blood was spilling from lan’s head, and he collapsed onto the floor.
Edith shivered in fear, while Selena was too shocked to make any noise.
After coming to her senses, Selena pushed Edith away.
“Edith, have you gone crazy? This is lan! Didn’t you say you wanted to celebrate his birthday?”
Edith panicked seeing lan motionless on the ground.
“How was I supposed to know he’d be this stubborn! He’s been disobedient since he was a kid, no one likes his personality!”
Selena had lan sent to the hospital immediately.
And word of what Edith did reached Holden’s ears.
Furious, Holden had Edith tied up and forcefully sent out of Greenfield.
“I don’t ever want to see her again!”
Edith caused a ruckus wanting to see Holden, but he refused even at the risk of his own life, even warning Selena.
“If anything happens to lan, you’re leaving with Edith!”
Selena was left speechless.
This time, when Steve Raymond came back, the first thing he did at the hospital was slap Selena.
“Wicked woman!”
Selena saw stars as her cheek swelled up.
But she didn’t dare to utter a word in front of Steye as she was terrified.
The other members of the Raymond family were in turmoil, hoping lan wouldn’t wake up.
With lan out of the picture, the position of CEO at the Raymond Corporation would be up for grabs.
Holden sat in the corridor, silent, clutching his cane.

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....
