Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 517

Carlene looked at Ian, feeling somewhat touched. She knew in her heart that he still cared about her.

"Ian, you still care about me."

Ian sat on the sofa without responding.

After Phelps had finished checking Carlene's finger, he was about to leave, but Carlene held out her other hand.

"I think this hand feels off too."

Although Phelps didn't understand, he knew that Carlene was intentionally trying to keep him there.

But why?

Phelps subconsciously glanced at Ian.

Ian, however, did not look at him. He seemed a bit absent-minded.

Phelps had heard from Tyler last night that Ian was flirting with someone else.

But now, seeing how Ian treated Carlene, he didn't seem to care about other people's opinions. The flirting was probably just Tyler's nonsense.

Phelps patiently checked Carlene's other hand again, then looked at her with a smile.

"Ms. Shepard, can I leave now?"

The whole process took forty minutes. Carlene's lips curled up.

"Dinner's ready. Wanna stick around for a bite?"

Phelps shook his head and glanced at his watch. "Nah, I've got stuff to deal with."

Carlene didn't try to find other excuses to keep Phelps any longer, due to the time they had already spent.

Meanwhile, Phelps received three calls from Abner, all asking him to come treat him.

After leaving the Shepard family, Phelps went straight to the hospital.

On the other side, Maja's forehead was drenched with sweat, and her lips were pale. She kept asking if her hand could recover.

The doctor looked at her uncertainly. If he told her she couldn't recover, she might have a breakdown. But considering the state of her hand, full recovery would be difficult.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, I can't be sure."

Upon hearing this, Maja could only hold back her tears.

Carol wanted to comfort her, but Maja said, "Carol, I want to rest a bit. You can go back first."

Carol didn't know what to say. She silently stayed with her for half an hour before leaving.

Maja kept thinking about what the doctor had said, and tears welled up in her eyes.
