Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1415

As Ian held Maja close, she began to stir in his arms, nestled in the backseat of Beck's car. Beck drove with cautious precision, his eyes misting up with unshed tears.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, he saw Maja's slight figure curled up against Ian.

A soft cough broke the silence.

"Maja, you awake?" Ian's voice was a mix of concern and relief as he gently patted her back.

Maja's eyes fluttered open, her vision blurred and her senses engulfed in an icy dread that seemed to snake around her heart. But Ian's warmth slowly seeped back into her, banishing the cold.

"Ian." Her voice was a mere whisper, laced with a longing to melt into his embrace.

Ian felt a sharp pain in his chest, berating himself for letting her down once again. "It's okay, Maja. You're safe now," he assured her, though the tremor in his voice betrayed his fear.

Maja nodded, too exhausted to speak. She was taken to the hospital for a check-up, where the doctor, after a glance at the medical report, delivered an unexpected bombshell.

"There's nothing major to worry about, but Miss, you need to take care of yourself. You're pregnant."

The news hit Ian and Maja like a freight train. Shock. Disbelief.

It took Maja a few seconds to process the information. Her mind felt jammed. "Doctor, are you sure? We've been careful."

The doctor adjusted his glasses, "I'm certain. Have you engaged in any unprotected activities?"

Beck ignored her, his earnest gaze fixed on the doctor. "Maybe there's an issue with the hospital's equipment. Just check one more time. They've been careful. She can't be pregnant!"

The doctor, slightly taken aback, gently removed Beck's grip. "Sir, unless you have a stake in this child's future, I don't see why you're so agitated."

"Damn it, don't talk nonsense!" Beck's agitation flared.

"Quack! You're a quack!"

The doctor, surrounded by a few nurses, left without further comment, leaving them to grapple with the life-changing news amidst the sterile silence of the hospital room.
