Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 177

Ian was in his way to the hospital when he got a call from Ryan.

Ryan said a lot, and then added, "After all, she did paint a picture for you."

Ian looked at the approaching nightfall outside and the lights coming on.

The atmosphere was very much like that in the painting.

He had to admit, the painting was very well done.

The car eventually stopped at the address Ryan provided. The housing prices in this neighborhood were not cheap. She had mentioned moving before, and it seemed she was moving here.

Maja had been waiting downstairs for Ian ten minutes ahead of their meeting time, not daring to keep him waiting.

But she'd been soaking in the bath for so long that by the time she woke up, the water had turned cold. Now she felt light-headed and dizzy, her vision blurry.

It wasn't until Ian's car stopped in front of her that she came to her senses, weakly opening the car door.

"Mr. Raymond, I'm really sorry for troubling you."

Her voice was raspy. He could tell something was off with her.

"Are you sick?"

Ian asked calmly, his eyes on her cheeks.

Her cheeks had an unnatural flush, and her eyes were full of tears.

She leaned back in the seat, closing her eyes.

"I'm not feeling well. I'm really sorry about what happened to Ms. Raymond. The police will make the final decision."

She must have a fever; her whole body felt hot.

Going to the hospital now, she didn't have time to buy a gift. And it was Ian's car, she couldn't make him wait for her to buy a gift halfway there. This time, she would have to go empty-handed and make up for it later.

The car was very quiet, Jeff was driving upfront, honking several times.

It was rush hour, and the roads were congested with vehicles.

The car was stuck in the traffic, unable to move.

Maja sat with her eyes closed, her mind in a jumble. Her body felt uncomfortably hot, as if all the moisture in her cells was being burned away.

Ian, sitting not far from her, could also feel the heat from her body.

Her cheeks were burning bright.

"Penny?"

"Mr. Raymond, are we there?"

She instinctively wanted to get out of the car, but she had no strength and nearly fell.

Ian's brows furrowed, he quickly reached out to catch her, pulling her back.

The force caused them to lean back against the car.

Jeff had already gotten out of the car to help, but seeing this, wisely got back in.

Maja realized she had bumped into someone and hurriedly tried to back away.

"Don't move."

Ian's voice was cold, "This is your residence. You have a fever. Call your husband to come pick you up."

In such poor physical condition, she still wanted to go out.

Maja's blurry eyes filled with tears. She didn't really understand what Ian was saying, she just nodded mechanically.

Thinking she understood, Ian put her on a bench nearby.

"You wait for him here. He should come here to pick you up."
