Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 515

Maja was panting hard, yet her mind was eerily calm.

All she could think was that if something happened to her hands, she'd rather die.

"Honk honk."

Someone honked their car horn twice. Maja trembled from the pain all over her body, then saw someone approach. It was Carol.

Then Carol's voice rang out.

"Maja!!"

Carol was scared shitless. Seeing Maja's two curled fingers, her eyes instantly reddened, unable to spit out a single curse.

For an artist, their hands are their life.

Who the hell did this?

"I'm taking you to the hospital! I'm taking you right now. Phelps, from the Herrington family, is back. He's a doctor, a good surgeon. He'll know what to do."

With her fingers bent to this extent, to fully recover, they'd need the best doctor.

Carol was shaking all over. She knew just how important painting was to Maja.

To ruin Maja's hands was to ruin her life.

Maja didn't say a word; even when she was helped into the car, she remained silent.

Sweat kept rolling down her forehead, and the two fingers on her right hand were still twisted. Just looking at them made Carol hurt.

Trembling, Carol pulled out her phone and dialed Abner Miller.

Phelps, from the Herrington family, had come back the night before. He was currently the youngest and most reputable surgeon in the country. He'd definitely know what to do.

Carol hoped to reach Phelps through Abner as soon as possible.

On the other side, Carlene from the Shepard family had received a call from Lingery.

"Carlene, it's done. That woman's fingers are toast."

Carlene's face was filled with excitement, a grin spreading across her face.

"Are you sure her hand can't be healed?"

"Her finger bones are crushed. My guy wanted to do more damage, but someone kept calling her, so he only managed to crush two fingers."

Carlene stood up from her chair with a gleeful look in her eyes.

"Thank you; I knew you wouldn't let me down."

Lingery was a ruthless man, and he truly liked Carlene. Knowing that she was pleased, he took the opportunity to ask, "Can you have dinner with me tonight?"

But Carlene was smart. She broke her left finger, which wouldn't affect her painting, and this kind of fracture would heal easily. Compared to Maja's crushed and shattered bones, it was much simpler and wouldn't cause any aftereffects.

Carlene sneered and immediately called Ian, her voice full of vulnerability and fear.

"Ian, I broke my hand. I was just trying to remember what Eric gave me, checking my bracelet and ring, when I accidentally fell. My hand's broken; what should I do? I'm a painter, and this hand is too important to me."

Ian hadn't slept a wink last night and was feeling incredibly irritable today. Hearing that Carlene got hurt because of Eric, he softened his tone.

"I'll have Phelps come see you; he just got back last night."

After hanging up, Ian called Phelps.

But Phelps had just received a call from the Miller family, saying someone's finger bones were crushed and they hoped he could take a look.

Phelps originally planned to go to the Miller family, but because of Ian's call, he decided to see Carlene first.

At the same time, Ian also went to visit the Shepard family.

Knowing that Phelps was coming, Carlene felt great. This meant that Maja's treatment would be delayed.

The corners of her mouth turned up.

Delaying this by even a minute or an hour would make a world of difference.

She took a deep breath, walked to the sofa downstairs, and sat, waiting for Phelps to arrive.
