Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 93

A few people helped Holden get back, while Holden made a call to Maja .

Maja was still standing in the corridor, feeling a chill from what the doctor had said. It wasn't until her phone rang that she snapped out of it.

Her fingers were stiff, so she rubbed her hands to warm them up before answering the call.

The time displayed on her phone screen showed that she had missed picking up Holden. She quickly apologized. "Grandpa, I'm sorry, my father was in a hospital. I'm with him right now, so I missed picking you up."

Upon hearing the reason, Holden immediately comforted her.

"Maja, why is your dad in the hospital? Is he doing better now? Don't worry about it, you don't have to come over for dinner tonight, just stay with him."

Maja's eyes welled up. Her father had been diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, she didn't know who to tell. She couldn't tell the Raymond family, even though Holden was nice to her. She didn't want others to know, afraid they might think she's trying to gain sympathy.

"He's just feeling a bit unwell. He's not awake yet. Grandpa, I'll get you a gift as an apology next time."

Holden chuckled, "Quit being so formal with me, I've got a gift for you too. I'll let Ian give it to you."

Maja's eyes welled up again, she looked up at the ceiling, "Okay, thank you grandpa."

Being called 'grandpa' by Maja made Holden even happier. After hanging up, he took out a box from the side and handed it to Ian.

"This is for Maja, don't forget to give it to her. Also, his father Neil's in the hospital. He's neither okay to Maja, so if you have time, bring some gifts and visit him. Since you are his son-in-law, you should act like one."

Holden truly cared for Maja, and was also nice to the rest of the Pennyfeather family. He had looked into Maja's life over the years. She was independent, didn't complain when wronged, went to high school on her own, and had a bad college professor.

Holden wanted to call the school several times, but was stopped by Maja. She said she would clear her name when the opportunity arose.

And she did. Solstice College recently got a new principal, and that professor was dismissed.
