Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 245

Cristina paused, looking at Neil’s face. Neil, in his fifties, had some graying temples due to stress. Yes,

if Neil woke up, she and her two kids would be out on the streets and the entire company would belong

to Maja.

“Don’t worry, you’re still Neil’s wife. If something happens to him, the company will be yours. No one

can threaten your position.”

Cristina was somewhat swayed by his words.

Carter’s eyes flickered, he walked up to her, cupped her face, and said, “And don’t you enjoy being with

me? I can satisfy you, we’ll have money. and I’ll treat Glenn and Tricia well.”

Cristina was moved by Carter’s words and let go of his arm. Carter stood up, dragging Nell to the top of

the staircase. He planned to push Neil down the stairs.

Given that Neil was already in the late stages of liver cancer and had just endured a shock, a fall from

here would likely and his life. Cristina couldn’t bear to watch and turned around, her body shaking.

Carter kicked Neil down the stairs. Neil fell from the high place, his forehead hitting something sharp

and immediately starting to bleed Carter waited for ten minutes, making sure that Neil was barely

breathing before he pulled out Cristina’s phone

“You need to call an ambulance now. You must get him to a hospital, otherwise Maja will get

suspicious.”

Cristina, shaking, took the phone. She was a mess. Carter held her tightly. “Pull yourself together. You

have to act like nothing happened, or it will all fall apart!”

Cristina’s face turned pale, her lips trembling. “Alright.”

Carter took a deep breath, and went into the bedroom to get his coat.

“I have to leave. It’s the best way to avoid suspicion.”

Cristina immediately called an ambulance, getting Neil to the hospital. Carter reminded her again not to

give herself away, as Maja was not to be trifled with

“Once the Pennyfeather family’s company is ours, I’ll give you anything you want.”

Cristina’s eyes hardened. For her kids, she must stay strong! If anyone was to blame, it was Neil for

deciding to discharge himself from the

hospital today. He had it coming!

30.m

Maja got a call from the hospital, telling her that Nell had fallen down the stairs and was in critical

condition.

All her exhaustion vanished instantly. She quickly put on her coat, her face turning pale as a ghost. She

had been to this hospital before and knew the doctor in charge, and that’s why he called her. When

Maja got to the hospital, she saw Cristina sitting alone in the hallway, but she didn’t seem worried.

Was she seeing things?

Cristina was clearly shocked to see Maja. Why would Maja be here?

Maja walked up, her tone icy, “Didn’t I already take him to the hospital before I went to Crystalbrook

Valley? You should’ve known he had liver cancer and let him rest in the hospital for a few more days.

Why did you let him go home?”

Cristina was flustered but recalled Carter’s words and rebuked back forcefully.

“Are you questioning me? Look at how much your dad has sacrificed for the family. If it weren’t for the

Raymond Corporation suddenly blocking the project, he wouldn’t be like this. It’s all on you for not

taking good care of lan! Because of the company’s problems, he didn’t want to stay in the hospital and

secretly went home. I happened to give the servants the day off, and no one knew he went back. By

the time I found him, there was blood all over the floor. If I was any later, he could’ve been dead!”

Cristina sneered, looking Maja up and down.

“You dare to question me!”

Maja didn’t respond, she just quietly sat down on a nearby chair.

Cristina’s fingers were trembling. She didn’t understand how Maja got here so soon. She was thinking,

if Neil could be saved, she would surely pull his oxygen tube. That was the only way to solve the

problem for good. Since she had done it, she had to make sure it worked!

Maja closed her eyes, only hoping that the door to the resuscitation room would open soon. Even

though she and Neil had many differences, he was still her father, her family who had been with her all

these years. After her mom passed away, she and her father were the closest people

If Cristina hadn’t appeared, their relationship would have remained good.

Maja’s eyes reddened, but she held back her tears.

Cristina kept observing Maja. Seeing that she didn’t suspect anything. Cristina finally breathed a sigh of

relief.

Neil couldn’t survive. Otherwise, she and Carter would be done for. Her children would be done for too.

The resuscitation lasted until 7 a.m. the next day, and Neil was wheeled out

Cristina immediately stood up, her voice trembling. “How’s my husband? You must do your best.”

“Mr. Pennyfeather has been resuscitated, but he needs to be in the ICU for a few days. If he can’t pull

through, then…

The rest was left unsaid, but everyone understood.

Cristina’s vision went black, and she almost fainted. Her legs gave out, and she was caught by a nurse.

“We understand that you’re distressed right now, but please hang in there”

Seeing Cristina’s intense reaction, Maja’s first thought was that she couldn’t handle the shock. Her face

was filled with fear, and the last bit of color drained from her face.

“You must save him, please. We’re willing to pay whatever it takes.

Someone supported Cristina to another room to rest, while Neil was pushed into the ICU.

Maja stood outside the ICU, not daring even to blink

A nurse noticed her flushed cheeks and reached out to touch her forehead.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, you have a fever. Sit down and rest for a bit. I’ll get you some medicine.”

Maja lowered her head and found some medicine in her bag. “Thanks, just a glass of water will do.”

The nurse immediately brought over a glass of water.

“Actually, it’s not much use for you to wait here. It’s better to go home and rest. We’ll keep you

updated.”

Maja did feel dizzy, but she was extremely worried about her father’s condition. She looked up nearby

hotels on the internet, but the nearest one was miles away, which was the one where lan had booked a

room.
