Chapter 218

The room was dead quiet. After lan had spoken, he heard Maja’s sincere reply, “Mr. Raymond, thank

you.”

He highly regarded her, not knowing she was the wife he detested.

The engagement was unnecessary for both of them. They each had their own baggage, no blame to be

laid on either side

The Pennyfeather family benefitted from the engagement. What right did she have if she still

demanded lan respect her as his wife?

She couldn’t hog all the perks.

lan didn’t say a word, just quietly shut his eyes

Maja knew he wanted to rest, so she stopped talking.

Six in the morning.

lan heard Jeff’s voice

‘Ms. Penny, here’s your breakfast; thanks for keeping Mr. Raymond company all night.”

“No need for thanks, now that you’re here, I’ll leave.”

“All right, I’ll find a way to thank you properly some time.”

The door to the ward was gently closed, and lan opened his eyes only then.

Seeing him awake, Jeff heaved a sigh of relief and busied himself with preparing breakfast.

“Mr. Raymond, do you want to eat first?”

lan had no appetite. He’d been sick most of the night, and his face was tinged with a sickly pallor.

Is the Pennyfeather family matter sorted?”

“We’ve intercepted all the Pennyfeather family company’s business. Neil will probably start panicking

today. I also cut off Neil’s communication with Holden. Holden can’t receive his calls.”

This way, Neil couldn’t contact Holden even if the Pennyfeather family had problems.

And because Holden was unwell and rarely left his house, Neil was less likely to run into him.

This wouldn’t bankrupt the Pennyfeather family, but it would give Neil headaches for quite some time.

lan got up, and after washing up with the toiletries Jeff had brought, he returned to the hotel

He didn’t want to go back to Rosewood Manor at all.

But Maja was heading back to Rosewood Manor.

She had planned to go to Crystalbrook Valley today but was exhausted from spending the entire night

with lan.

After getting back to Rosewood Manor and getting some sleep, she received a call from Cristina

It wasn’t her father who called, but Cristina, which meant Neil was in trouble.

“All the Pennyfeather family company’s business has been intercepted, all their partners are calling

your dad. Your dad fainted; he’s resting upstairs. You better come back and see him, don’t say I didn’t

tell you. I bet lan did this, it’s your fault for not taking care of him.”

Hadn’t she taken care of him?

Hearing this, Maja hung up.

But she couldn’t ignore the Pennyfeather family.

Neil had liver cancer, with only a year left to live. Now he had fainted because of company matters; this

might shorten his time

She visited the Pennyfeather family, but there were no doctors. Cristina had only helped Neil upstairs to

rest

Seeing Maja arrive, Cristina rolled her eyes.

Maja didn’t bother talking to her and went straight upstairs. She saw that Neil was awake, but his eyes

were sunken, and he was coughing incessantly.

Last time, Maja had the hospital hide Neil’s condition, but it seemed Cristina and the others already

knew.

They all knew Neil had liver cancer, but now they hadn’t called a doctor to the Pennyfeather family to

check on him.

Maja frowned, feeling uneasy,

“Dad.”

Neil looked terrible. This incident seemed to have struck him, his face full of melancholy.

“Dad, sell your company shares to others; you can retire. The temporary business suspension won’t

bankrupt the Pennyfeather family; the stocks won’t plummet for now, you can still sell them for a good

price.”

This wasn’t Maja’s first suggestion that Neil retire and enjoy his life.

But Neil was always reluctant to dee the company he built fall into others’ hands.

“Did you come back just to say this?”

Neil furrowed his brow, thought for a bit, then sighed, “I tried contacting Holden, but his phone’s been

unreachable, Maja, can you…

He didn’t finish his sentence, Maja had already stood up.

“I’m heading to Crystalbrook Valley soon.”

The door was pushed open at that moment, and Cristina’s shrill voice came in..

“You really don’t care about your dad’s health at all, Maja. Are you really his biological daughter? How

can you be so heartless? If Tricia had been the one lan married, we would be successful by now.”

Maja scoffed, “If Tricia were competent, she wouldn’t have been so desperate to see lan and get

rejected. But when it comes to chasing men, she does take after you.”

“Smack!”

As soon as she finished, Nell threw a pillow at her.

The pillow hit Maja’s face. She winced in pain, but her eyes remained cold
