Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 910

Over in the next room, a few folks were gathered around Ian's bed.

There were Tyler, Fitch, and Phelps. Most of the Raymond clan were long gone. Only a handful really cared about him.

It's been over half a month since Ian's bet against the EcoTraverse Group. With just over a month left, his current illness had people putting their money on his loss. By the time Ian's out of this hospital, he might not be the big boss of the Raymond Corporation anymore.

Phelps, who was all scrubbed up for another surgery, glanced at the other two guys. "Ian might be out cold for a few days. You don't need to stick around."

They all knew Ian was dancing with the Grim Reaper this time. And they knew he did it for Maja. He went to save her when she got herself kidnapped.

Tyler wanted a smoke, but Phelps' glare stopped him. "No smoking in the hospital."

Tyler pulled a face, a bitter smile on his lips. "Guess I'll step out for one then."

The severity of Ian's condition had rattled everyone. Phelps and Tyler left, leaving Fitch alone. Then Darlene showed up, all teary after hearing the news. Seeing Ian lying up like that, she couldn't help but cry. "Mr. Raymond, you need to get well soon. My kid and I need you."

Fitch, leaning against the wall, raised an eyebrow at her words. He took a look at Darlene. But he couldn't care less about Ian's love life. He was just surprised. Was the baby Darlene's carrying Ian's seed?

That can't be right. Ian was known for not being a ladies' man.

But Fitch kept his mouth shut, his face a little glum. Darlene was kind of scared of Fitch. He was cold, heavy. His chill was bone-deep. Ian's coldness only came from his reluctance to talk. Ian was more personable than Fitch in Darlene's eyes.

Darlene, seeing Fitch ignoring her, let out a sigh of relief. She kept crying.

"Mr. Raymond, you have to wake up soon. My child and I can't lose you. I'm so worried, I can't even sleep."

Leaning on her crutches, Maja had just reached Ian's room when she heard Darlene's tears. Darlene's words echoed through the closed door.
