Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 378

Neil's face turned as white as a ghost. He put down the file he was looking at and turned to see someone standing not far away.

He tried to pick up the cane next to him to stand, but his hand was shaking so much he couldn't muster the strength.

Maja didn't move. She was at a loss for words, seeing the man who not long ago could walk now struggling to even use a cane.

Neil just looked at her, then slowly sat down, setting the cane down next to him in disappointment.

His face suddenly filled with wrinkles. He looked much older than his actual age of fifty-something, especially with his head full of white hair. It was too much for Maja to bear.

"Maja, the Pennyfeathers are done for," Neil said, his shoulders trembling slightly.

"I'm sorry, I have nothing left to leave you."

He had sold all of the Pennyfeather family's companies and properties just to pay off the debts. He really had nothing left to give Maja.

Maja walked over and sat down next to Coco, who was still lying at Neil's feet.

Neil, hands shaking, set the file on the table.

"All that hard work, all that effort, and this is where it got us."

"Dad," Maja said, lowering her gaze.

"You should go visit my mom's grave sometime. You haven't been there in years."

Neil froze, his face twisted in pain.

"I'll go tomorrow."

But considering Neil's current health condition, if he took a few hours' drive, he might not be able to come back.

Maja thought about how he only had a year left and was now stressed about the company's problems. It made her very uncomfortable.

"The Pennyfeathers are going bankrupt, Maja. You can't think about leaving Ian anymore. Otherwise, you'll have nothing left. Holden likes you. As long as you're willing, no one will kick you out. I'm worried you'll be bullied."

He had a feeling he wouldn't be around for much longer.

Maja's eyes turned red, not wanting to discuss the topic.

"I've already had the servants clean up the poison. Cristina's things have been donated. I'll take care of the company's problems."

Neil's fingertips trembled. "Are you going to ask Holden for help? That's a billion dollars. Even if he likes you, he won't be able to afford it. Don't be silly, it will only lower your image in his eyes."

After saying this, he suddenly started coughing violently, then coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the stress.

Maja was startled and quickly handed him a tissue.
