Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 909

Maja's heart started to thump wildly, but the flood was already upon them. With landslides on the mountain and an earthquake in the midst of the downpour, things couldn't get any worse.

When Maja's consciousness started to return, she heard a man's voice.

"Ms. Pennyfeather should be stirring soon."

"Any issues with her head?"

"No, just a minor concussion. Might be a bit dizzy the first few days she's awake, but she'll be fine."

"How's Ian?"

"Mr. Raymond's still in the ICU. If he makes it through today, he'll be alright."

The mention of Ian's name immediately got Maja on edge. Ian was badly hurt, with injuries to his chest and head, and was finally swept away by the landslide. Would he really be okay?

Her heart ached as she remembered their kiss before the flood. It was light as a feather but heavier than any words spoken. She wanted to speak, but she was too weak.

When she woke up in the evening, she saw a white ceiling. By her bedside was Carol, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Carol was startled when Maja woke up and immediately hugged her.

"Maja, what happened? When I heard the nurse say your name, I thought someone shared your name. Why are you in the hospital again?"

Maja and Carol hadn't seen each other in a while, both busy with their own thing.

"Carol." She coughed a couple of times, her chest feeling tight, making it difficult to speak.

"Take it slow, don't speak if you can't." Carol gently patted her back, then whispered, "Grandpa Holden left this morning. I heard he stayed by your side all night. I couldn't leave until he was gone."

Hearing that Grandpa Holden had been by her bedside for so long, Maja immediately felt guilty. Holden was weak, and hearing about Ian's situation must've been hard on him.

"Carol, how's Ian?"

Maja didn't know how long she'd been asleep, but she vaguely remembered someone saying Ian was in the ICU. Her heart immediately sank.
