Chapter 903
Elvis opened his mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but he didn’t know what to say and just stared at the documents on the bed. Maja understood his character well. She let out a sigh. “Then you just stay in the hospital. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll make that woman pay!”
“Ms. Pennyfeather,” Elvis looked up at her, “showbiz is a tough place where the powerless are bullied. We’re not high up enough on the food chain, so all we can do is suck it up. But at least we’re alive and kicking, so don’t worry too much. We’ll just be extra careful next time.” At 32, Elvis saw things clearer than anyone else.
Maja nodded. When she returned to the car, she felt exhausted. It was not just physically, but mentally too.

She thought their work for the month was almost done, that she could finally take a breather, but now she just wanted to keep her nose to the grindstone, to quickly make Star Movie Group a big company, not just a pushover like they were now.
She went back to Rosewood Manor to rest.
In the evening, she took Coco out for a walk. Only when she was with Coco did she feel a little better. Holding Coco’s leash, she left Rosewood Manor, deciding to take a stroll around the neighborhood.
She ended up in the place where she first met Connie, back when Connie was still sketching, looking so innocent. But in a short amount of time, everything had changed,
“Woof woof!” Coco suddenly started barking towards a man standing in the distance. But because he was too far away, Maja couldn’t make out his face. She could only feel that he was tall and had a good aura.
“Woof!” Coco barked, running towards the man.
“Coco!” Maja didn’t know what Coco saw and why he was so excited. She quickly followed he, but when she got there, the man was already gone.
She saw Coco pacing around the spot, his tail wagging, his ears perked up. Maja suddenly had a ridiculous thought. Could that man have been Coco’s previous owner? Could it have been him?
She walked Coco along the path. It started raining, this path led to the park. She didn’t bring an umbrella, Coco seemed thrilled in the rain. For some reason, Maja’s mood lifted a bit. It was like going on a treasure hunt with Coco. She was good at comforting herself, so she only focused on whether they could find the “treasure.”
“Woof!” Coco wagged his tail up front, but also looked after Maja without running too fast. Maja held the leash in her hand, wiping the rain off her face. It was peaceful around. Probably because of the sudden rain, everyone else had gone home. Maja took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, “Patric! Is that you?”
After she shouted, everything was still quiet. Maja didn’t want to return to Rosewood Manor, because whenever she sat quietly, she’d unintentionally think of Darlene’s pregnancy.
So she chose to keep walking along this path, for who knew how long, until Coco suddenly stopped. She looked up and saw a body being washed away by the rain, the blood flowing down the winding creek.
Maja took a step back, holding tightly onto Coco’s leash.
Under the tree behind the bodies, a man in a raincoat appeared, holding a machete. They stared at each other.

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....
