Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1217

Ian's gaze was locked on Bernard, and then he spat out, "Cunning."

This mess was supposed to be their superior's problem, but now this old man had dragged Ian into it without a moment's hesitation.

Bernard's eyes narrowed, "I’ll take care of your father's side. You should be aware that I'm under a lot of pressure too. Otherwise, some of us with more radical tendencies might have already drugged Maja and your brother. Remember, everyone in our position has made sacrifice for the country. Personal attachments mean nothing in the face of national duty. With great power comes great responsibility. People reaching our position are all willing to forsake everything at any time. Those who can't give up anything will amount to nothing."

A wave of hostility washed over Ian.

Bernard raised his hand and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"And one more thing, forgive your grandfather. That old man lived a carefree life, but died with regrets. Your brother's needle marks would shock anyone, let alone him. He favored your brother at the end, which is far better than what the Raymond family did."

Ian remained silent, and Bernard feared he would brood over it.

"Ian, we're on the same side, and I'm the only one who knows about your secret identity. Even if it costs me my life, I'll protect you."

Maja didn't go to the office today, instead staying in Greenfield Gardens, constantly researching information about Dissociative Identity Disorder.

It was a mental illness. In some cases, the primary personality was aware of the secondary one, while in others, neither personality was aware of the other.

Records showed that some people had split into more than a hundred different personalities, each living a different life every day.

Sitting at her computer, she felt that Patric's gaze was familiar.

It was invasive, like a maggot gnawing at her bones.

Her fingertips clutched the mouse, her eyes scanning the screen ceaselessly.

Finally, she sighed softly and decided to head back to the office.
