Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 248

Maja arrived at the hospital and headed straight to the ICU, only to find Cristina already there, waiting.

But Cristina was too caught up in her own thoughts to notice Maja's arrival. She kept pestering the doctor with questions. "When will my husband wake up? Can I go in and see him? Please do everything you can."

Two nurses stood by her, helpless and sighing at her relentless anxiety.

"We've told you many times, Cristina. We need three days for observation. As for how he's doing, we need more time to figure that out. Please, sit down and rest."

"I want to see him."

"I'm sorry, you can't go in yet. We'll let you know when you can."

A sense of relief washed over Cristina. As long as she could get in, she was determined to pull the plug on Neil's life support. There was no way she was going to let him wake up. Things had come this far. There was no turning back now.

When Cristina noticed Maja, her body stiffened, and she quickly let go of the nurse she was holding on to.

Maja took a seat on a bench in the corridor, quietly waiting for the doctor's report. Meanwhile, Cristina was a bundle of nerves, her palms sweaty with worry.

She was afraid of what Maja might notice, so she avoided making eye contact.

Footsteps echoed from the other end of the corridor. It was Tricia. Upon seeing Maja, a flash of hatred crossed Tricia's eyes. But then, she quickly resumed her victim act.

"Mom, how's Dad doing?"

With Tricia by her side, Cristina finally managed to shake off her anxiety.

"I don't know, Tricia. I'm really freaking out."

If Neil woke up and called the police, they were toast.

Tricia misunderstood Cristina's concern as worry about the transfer of the Pennyfeather family's shares.

"Don't worry, Mom. Dad's going to be okay."

Tricia then turned to look at Maja, whose face was blank. "Maja."

Even though their relationship was on the rocks, Tricia seemed to have forgotten all about their last falling out. Maybe she was shameless, or maybe she was just resilient.

Maja didn't respond. She was too focused on the ICU.

"Dad's in the hospital and Mr. Raymond hasn't even bothered to visit?"

Of course, she was still hung up on Ian. Maja found this amusing and smirked. "You're this concerned about someone else's husband?"
