Chapter 1116


    Upstairs, Maja was soaking in the warm water, thinking about how she had called Ian, only to be hung


    up on as soon as she introduced herself.


    It seemed he really did resent her, but if he did, why did hee looking for herst night?


    She lowered hershes, her eyes stinging from the steam. She decided she would go to himter to


    exin everything.


    After soaking in the bath for half an hour, she finally felt some energy return to her body. Once she was


    dressed, she went downstairs.


    Carol was sitting on the couch downstairs, having just finished a call with Felix.


    Felix was still at work, gently asking her why she hadn''te homest night.


    "I still have things to sort out at Maja''s. I''lle to youter, Felix. Make sure you eat on time and don''t


    overwork yourself."


    At that moment, Felix was sitting by Listina''s hospital bed with a bowl of soup in his hands.


    Listina was well taken care of and her cheeks were no longer as pale as before. She was looking at


    him with curiosity, as if asking who was on the call.


    Meeting her gaze, Felix replied, "Alright, I have to go now."


    After he hung up the phone, Listina frowned unhappily.

    "Felix, who was that? Was it Carol again? Why can''t you tell her that I''m your fiancée? Do you really


    like her?"


    She sounded truly upset as she spoke.


    Felix lifted his hand to pinch her cheek gently.


    "Don''t overthink, Listina. You''re the one I care about."


    Listina opened her mouth to ept the spoonful of soup he offered.


    "I just feel like she''s too enthusiastic about you, Felix. You promised to marry me once I recover. I


    wouldn''t have agreed to the surgery otherwise. If you break your promise, I''d rather die."


    Felix frowned instantly, and he put the bowl aside.


    "Do you know how much I''ve sacrificed to ensure your sessful surgery? Don''t say things like that


    again."


    Seeing his anger, Listina quickly tried to appease him by holding his face and giving him a peck.


    "I''m sorry, I''m just too scared of losing you. Carol is undeniably attractive and healthy. Seeing her smile


    at you, I get so jealous. You won''t let me tell her that I''m your fiancée. It''s hard for me not to overthink."


    Felix resumed feeding her the soup, his actions gentle.


    "Listina, I''ve told you, I won''t let you down. Even if there''s something going on between Carol and me,


    I''m just using her. Her family is wealthy, and we need money."


    A sh of triumph crossed Listina''s eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Felix, I understand. Don''t worry, I''ll cooperate with the doctors and take care of myself."


    Felix nodded, his back still bearing the marks Carol had left the previous night. Yet, here he was,


    saying such things.


    Carol would be heartbroken if she were here.


    But did Felix care?


    Their first meeting was intentionally arranged.


    With his good looks and physique, it was easy for him to lure a woman in.


    Although Carol was bold and outgoing, she had never truly been in love before.


    The daughter of a good family was easily deceived by a man''s sweet words.


    Carol was sitting in the Rosewood Manor vi, rushing to the staircase to help Maja when she came


    downstairs.


    "Maria has prepared the food. Let''s eat something first."


    Maja nodded, taking a seat at the dining table.


    Maria had the chef prepare a few light dishes. Coco and Rocky had just run in from outside and were


    ying in the house.


    This was Carol''s first time seeing Rocky, and she couldn''t help but praise him.


    "That''s a handsome dog."


    "Ian gave it to me."


    Upon hearing this, Carol immediately rolled her eyes.


    "Well, on second thought, it''s not that special."


    Maja found this amusing, but herughter soon turned bitter.


    The misunderstanding this time was tooplicated to be exined in a few words.


    Carol wasn''t hungry, so she just watched Maja eat for a while before she couldn''t help but speak up.


    "Maja, do you like Ian?"


    This time, Maja didn''t hesitate to nod.


    "Ian is not worth your affection. You don''t know how outrageous he wasst night. I thought he went out


    to look for you because he was worried, but when he saw your car crash and catch fire, he just turned


    around and left. He even said that since you hurt his grandfather, it''s good that you''re dead. With your


    death, his grandfather can rest in peace."


    Maja''s spoon fell to the floor, breaking in two.
