Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 924

The room suddenly went dead silent, to the point where Ian felt like he couldn't hear anything at all.

His hands were gripping the wheelchair so hard that the veins on his hands were bulging.

Maja's words packed a punch, doubly so because she was unaware that Darlene's baby wasn't Ian's.

She said Coco's life mattered more than Ian's child.

She once carried Ian's child too. Her words were a subtle dig at Ian for not caring enough when she lost their child.

Her words felt like a dagger straight into his heart.

Ian coughed a few times, at a loss for a response.

In front of her, he could be tough or unreasonable.

But after she said those words, he lost all ability to argue.

His lips clenched shut as he listened to her question the doctor.

"How's Coco doing now?"

"Coco is improving; the primary doctor is doing everything to save it."

The rest of the conversation was just background noise for Ian.

The human brain was a funny thing, even though he was straining to hear the conversation, the sounds were just a jumbled mess that gave him a headache.

He glanced over in Jeff's direction.

Jeff immediately came over, standing behind him and silently pushing his wheelchair.

Ian was weak, he could normally maneuver the wheelchair himself, but now his hands could do nothing more than grip the wheelchair.

Maja wasn't having an easy time either, she was talking to the doctor while seeing Jeff pushing Ian away in the reflection of the glass in front of her.

She knew that his health had deteriorated because of her. Despite his harsh words, she couldn't help but fight back.

She knew that was just the kind of person he was, cruel in his words but never really taking any real action.

She looked down, hearing the doctor's ongoing speech.
