Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 896

Zoey reluctantly rolled out of bed, she was running a fever.

"Mr. Pennyfeather, I just got woken up by my alarm clock. It's lunchtime, and I haven't made your reservation yet."

Maja suddenly got a sense of urgency and hung up right away, dialing Elvis's number.

But Elvis's phone was off to the side charging, and he'd already popped open his lunch box.

Feeling unwell, he took a couple of sips of soup first.

Meanwhile, Maja, scared shitless, quickly took the elevator up and barged into his office.

"Elvis!"

Elvis looked up. "Mr. Pennyfeather?"

Maja's face was gloomy as she approached him. "Are you feeling okay?"

Elvis was about to shake his head when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Then he went pale and passed out.

"Elvis!!"

Maja immediately rushed him to the hospital.

She had a feeling there was something fishy about the lunch, but she didn't expect it to be this serious.

As Elvis was rushed into the emergency room, Maja was left alone in the corridor, her mind in chaos.

The doctors were unclear about what was going on, but Elvis had severe hypoxia.

Maja was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth.

She didn't tell anyone about this, and she just called her employees to check who delivered that lunch box.

Elvis's emergency treatment lasted until midnight, and Maja was exhausted and dreading the worst.

Fortunately, at one in the morning, the doctors wheeled him out.

Elvis was lying pale-faced on the bed, the anesthesia had not worn off yet, but he could hear the voices outside.

He heard Maja asking the doctor.

"Was it food poisoning?"

"Ms. Pennyfeather, it was a prohibited substance and highly lethal. If he had taken another sip, we wouldn't have been able to save him. Also, the police have been cracking down on this substance, it's not something an ordinary person could get their hands on. You should report this."

Maja followed the doctor into the room, her heart aching.

She couldn't bear the weight of a life, thankfully, Elvis was okay.
