Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Neil had a dream about Lillian, his ex–wife and Maja’s mom After waking up, he fet a great sense of

quit

Maybe it was because Lillian’s death anniversary just passed that he dreamt of her He felt really sorry

towards Maja now

lan was a great guy, but if his daughter didn’t like lan, it was like forcing her to accept something she

didn’t like

Honestly. Maja had never given him a reason to worry from childhood till now. But now, he felt like he

was drifting further and further away from her

A flicker of anger flashed in Cristina’s eyes You know, people tended to go soft when they got older Net

used to obey her with just a few words of persuasion But now, with his health in a bad shape and

Lillian’s death anniversary just passing, he might be overthinking things

Cristina had never won against i han before and now she definitely won’t let Lillaris daughter surpass

her

Honey, don’t overthink it. You’ve been really good to Maja The problem is her personality She’s just not

likable Look at how Selena treats us. If Maja could pull herself together, Selena wouldn’t treat us this

way”

At the mention of Siena, Neil started coughing violently What Selena said was indeed too much.

However, it was true that Maja married lan initially for the sake of the three million–dollar Investment

Selena looked down on their family and his daughter, that was why she said those things.

Honey look at how much Tricia cares about you. If she was in good health, she would have visited you

by now. I didn’t even dare to tell her you’re in the hospital Glenn just called, saying you need to rest

more and hell handle the company matters.”

Nails face seemed to lighten up Tricia and Glenn were definitely more sensible than Maja. Maja was

too strong–willed, and she never relied on him, which made him feel like he was failing as a father

Maja really isn’t as sensible as Tricia”

Just as he said this, there were footsteps at the door. Maja had arrived, and heard exactly what he

said. Neil instantly felt awkward and his face turned sour.

Maja, however, just lowered her head and put the food she brought on the side table.

Dad, are you hungry? Est something first.”

Neil wanted to explain, but realized he couldn’t find the right words, so he just sighed instead. “Alright.”

After a spoonful of porridge, he asked, “When can be discharged?”

Maja had already told the doctor not to inform anyone else about Neil’s condition. Since they’ve

decided not to do surgery, they might as well let him spend the year peacefully. The doctor

recommends you rest in the hospital for half a month.”

“Half a month? There are so many things waiting for me at the company. And you know, the company

is about to start its second round of financing, and there can’t be any negligence.” Maja was furious. If

he had come to the hospital when he first felt unwell, he wouldn’t have been diagnosed with late–stage

liver cancer.

Dad, what’s more important, your health or the company’s affairs?”

Neil sensed Maja’s mood and stopped talking. He was a bit touched. Maja still cared for him as her

father.

“Alright, I’ll switch all the meetings to online, and I’ll rest well in the hospital for this half a month.”

Seeing the rare warmth between them, Cristina was full of jealousy and couldn’t help but flare up.

“You’re not even considering who caused your father’s sickness. If you could have satisfied lan, would

Selena still treat us this way?!”

Maja didn’t want to argue with Cristina in front of Neil, as it would only irritate him.

Dad, you rest well. Cristina will stay with you. Don’t leave the hospital this half month. I’ll keep in touch

with the doctor.”

Feeling ignored, Cristina was about to blow up when she heard Neil say, “Enough, don’t always make a

fuss for no reason.”

This stunned Cristina, realizing that if she continued to throw a tantrum, it would irritate Neil, so she

kept quiet.

Nell turned to Maja, his tone gentle.

Tim fine, I’ll rest well in the hospital for this half month. Maja, it’s been a long time since we had a good

chat. I have indeed neglected you these past two years. If you have time, can you come and see me?”

Maja’s eyes welled up with tears, worried that if she stayed any longer, she would lose control of her

emotions.

If Neil was still healthy, she could let herself argue with him, resent him. But he only had a year left to

live.

“Uh–huh, I’ll come often”

With that, Maja left. When she reached the ground floor of the hospital, she felt a chill run through her

body. Even though it was summer, the cold seemed to seep into her every bone. At the Raymond

Mansion, where everyone was gathered, dinner was over.

As lan was about to leave, Holden couldn’t help but hold him back and started trying to talk some

sense into him.

“You have to keep grandpa’s words in mind. Bring a gift this week when you visit Neil.”
