Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 319

After ending her call with Carol, Maja dialed the hospital. The doc filled her in.

"Mr. Pennyfeather seemed to be coming around last night, but he's back to being stable today. We're still not sure when he'll wake up."

Hearing this, Maja hung her head, feeling a pang of pain. She had planned to head straight to the hospital, but then Cristina Perkins rang her up.

"Your grandparents showed up at the Pennyfeather's house. They heard about your dad and wanted to see him."

Hearing this, Maja went pale. Her grandparents lived in Crystalbrook Valley, and she'd avoided visiting them the few times she'd been there. Mainly because after her mom gave birth to her, her grandparents gave her the cold shoulder.

In Crystalbrook Valley, newlywed women usually live with their husband's parents for a while.

But Neil, being the eldest son, had a younger brother. Her grandparents favored Neil's brother, so Neil was always given the short end of the stick.

When Neil married Lillian, they were given a run-down house the very next day. They didn’t even have a meal on their wedding night and had to borrow some.

All because her grandparents couldn't stand Lillian, who often got an earful when she was alive.

But when it came to Neil's brother, her grandparents couldn't spoil him enough.

Because of all this, Neil had taken Lillian to Greenfield early on, starting from scratch and gradually building up his own company.

After Maja was born, her grandparents threw a fit when they found out it was a girl. At the time, Neil was still working in Greenfield, and only Daly Elston and Susan Elston were there with Lillian. So Lillian had to endure the injustice.
