Female Novel
Chapter 1126
The moment the woman discovered that her baby could be saved, she burst into tears. Her husband,
who had hastily rushed over, supported her back to the hospital room.
The man, with reddened eyes, thanked Maja profusely. He explained that ever since his wife had fallen
pregnant, she had been emotionally unstable, frequently breaking down. She had doubted him, fearing
that he was lying to her and that their baby wouldn't survive. But now, she trusted Maja, a stranger, and
her emotions had significantly stabilized.
Maja observed the woman who was cradled by her husband. Pregnancy was indeed tough, but when
her husband had arrived, his hair was disheveled, and his suit was crumpled, likely due to some
mishap on his way.
He loved her.
Both their eyes reflected deep affection for each other. When the man saw his wife's tears, he gently
wiped them away with the back of his hand.
"Honey, maybe we shouldn't have this baby. I'm not that fond of kids. We could use our savings to
travel the world."
"No, I love children. I must keep her."
"Alright, alright. We'll keep her. Just calm down."
Maja stood aside, watching them, suddenly feeling a pang of envy.
When she had been pregnant with her first child, she hadn't even seen Ian's face, let alone their
baby's.
She woke one day to the news that her baby was gone. She was forced to get an abortion.
She phoned Ian for help, but he had no patience to listen and hung up cruelly.
That was a thorn in her heart. Even though she liked Ian now, whenever she remembered that incident,novelbin
it felt as though a stake was driven through her heart.
She stood there until her body was almost rigid. She was brought back to reality when a passerby
bumped into her.
She quickly picked up her things, intending to return to the floor where Zoey was.
She had already checked herself. It was just an irregular period due to stress. A few doses of over-the-
counter medicine and some rest would set her cycle straight.
This realization made her heave a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't pregnant, she was fine.
Her steps became lighter.
However, she didn't realize that their conversation had caused a serious misunderstanding for Ian.
When Ian returned to Judith's room, he even bumped into the door, jolting him backward.
Hearing the noise, Beck looked up, his tone mocking.
"You look like you've lost your soul. What's with the dazed look?"
Ian lifted his bewildered eyes, glanced at Judith in the bed, and turned to leave.
Seeing his condition, Dylan was annoyed and strode forward.
"Mr. Raymond, you haven't sobered up yet. Are you already leaving?"
Ian lifted his bloodshot eyes. It seemed like he was looking at Dylan, yet not really looking at him.
This look even startled Dylan. It was as if there was no light in Ian's eyes.
Ian brushed Dylan aside, slowly straightening his suit.
"I'll consider the engagement with the Sanders family, but I need to spend some time with Ms. Sanders
first. You need to give me some time."
He didn't know that Maja was right behind him when he said this.
After all, Zoey was also on this floor, and not far from Judith's room.
As Ian turned around after speaking, he saw Maja a few meters away.
Maja was still holding a bag in her hand, and he couldn't see what medicine was inside.
Ian thought of how anxious she looked in front of the doctor, insisting on saving the baby, and a
mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the two about to part ways, Dylan left a final remark.
"Great, when Judith wakes up, I'll tell her. She'll definitely be happy to develop a relationship with you."
With that, he closed the door to the hospital room.
Ian and Maja stood facing each other, his gaze fixed on the bag she was holding.
He wanted to light up a cigarette, but remembering that she was pregnant, he quietly put it back.
