Chapter 920
Inside the hospital.

until he opened the video to take a look.
His housekeeper called to inform him, “Mr. Raymond, Coco is still fighting for his life in the hospital. It’s not looking
good.”
His heart instantly sunk.
“What about Darlene?”
“You told us to kick her out, so we had Ms. Darlene leave.”
lan dialed Maja next. Jeff had set up their phones in the morning, so Maja should answer his call.
But Maja’s phone was in her purse on the couch, on silent mode, and she didn’t pick up.
Not to mention, she was still punishing Darlene.
She had shown some mercy, knowing Darlene was pregnant, so she only hit her in the face.
When Maja didn’t answer, lan instantly realized that Maja had gone to take revenge on Darlene.

pregnant.

That was one of Maja’s deepest pains.
So even though they had held hands intimately the night before and the atmosphere was beautiful, the matter of

hands to be stained with blood.
He summoned Jeff and said calmly, “Take me to Rosewood Manor.”

Jeff hurriedly got a wheelchair from the hospital and wheeled him into the car.

“Coco’s condition is serious, the vets will perform a final round of resuscitation.”
Maja’s hand tightened involuntarily, and her voice suddenly hoarse.
“Final round of resuscitation? What do you mean?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Pennyfeather, if the final resuscitation doesn’t work, Coco might die.”
The phone in Maja’s hand instantly fell to the ground, her mind a blank.
She remembered the scene of Darlene mistreating Coco in the surveillance footage, and her already simmering
anger flared up again.
She grabbed Darlene by the throat.
