Chapter 1283
In an instant, she became frantic, her eyes darting towards the source of the sound.
“lan, are you alright?
lan held her back, pressing her gently onto the couch
Tm fine, just stay still.”
Tears welled in her eyes instantly
I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry I thought someone was impersonating you. I smelled something off about you, felt the
floor different beneath me. Was I moved somewhere else? Was I just brought back?”
Her mind was a whirlwind
lan held her hand, his chest still being stitched up
“Maja, it was just a nightmare”
Maja was speaking incoherently To an outsider it might seem as though she’d lost her mind
“I didnt”
Her voice trailed off as she heard Phelps cautioning fan.
“Avoid water near your wound, be careful of a similar accident happening. If that knife had hit your heart, no one
could’ve saved you”
Phelps words hit her like a punch, freezing her instantly
She almost killed lan
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHad he not evaded her attack, he would be dead.
A cold sweat trickled down her back, her voice failed her.
But she still had so many questions Phelps had told her it would take at least three days for her to regain her voice
yet she was already speaking after a single night. Why?
“lan, why can I speak
She felt like a moth trapped in the darkness, battering itself against invisible walls, unable to find an exit.
lan held her hand, urging her to calm down
“You’ve been unconscious for four days, running a fever. It broke just a couple of days ago. You must be disoriented
from the illness. I’m okay”
She had been unconscious for four days? But why hadn’t she felt anything?
“And the incense in the house, why is there suddenly incense”
“I asked Phelps to get it. You mentioned having trouble sleeping, this incense is supposed to help”
But she was sure she had felt a floor different from the one in Greenfield Gardens.
Her head throbbed with a pain so intense it was unbearable.
lan’s wounds were properly dressed now. He pulled her into his arms.
“Did a nightmare scare you?
Maja’s forehead was slick with cold sweat, she didnt know what to say still feeling guilty for hurting lan
Tyler chimed in from the side.
This time it was an accident, what if it turns into a homicide next time? I think she should see a shrink Maybe her
time at Eric’s mansion has caused some psychological issues she’s not aware of lan, you’re being too vulnerable
around her, it’s dangerous”
Fitch nodded in agreement. “We should get a psychologist for her. She’s not making much sense. We may not be so
lucky next time
lan held her close gently kissing her cheek in reassurance.
Maja began to doubt herself, questioning whether she had a mental issue
At one moment, she genuinely believed she was speaking to someone other than lan, and felt like she was trapped
in a different place
But this was Greenfield Gardens, and she was living under lan’s watchful eyes, he wouldn’t let anything happen to
her.
Maja clung onto lan’s arm, her voice a mere whisper, “Maybe we should call a psychologist, I might be sick
lan pulled her close. “You’re not sick. It was just a nightmare. Let’s not talk about this anymore”
Fitch and Tyler looked at him disapprovingly, it seemed like he was willing to risk his life for Maja
Maja couldn’t see their expressions, so naturally, she didn’t see lan warning them with a glare.
Fitch left Greenfield Gardens feeling a bit imitated. The Olson and the Casson families had been reaching out to
him, most likely wanting lan to apologize, but given lans current state, he hardly had the mind for such matters
He got into his car, lit a cigarette, and drow off to the hotel
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoey had been trying to reach Maja these past few days, but someone else always answered the phone. The last
time it was lan who picked up, saying Maja needed some rest and for any urgent matters regarding the company
they could contact him
Although she wasn’t very fond of lan, hearing his voice somewhat reassured her
At least it meant Mr. Pennyfeather was alright.
As she finished organizing the reports for the day and was about to leave the office building she saw her ex
boyfriend in the lobby.
Murray had mamed Evelyn. The initial days of their marnage were prosperous, thanks to Evelyn’s wealth.
That was why he had leh Zoey to be with her
But after living together for nearly two months, he discovered Evelyn was being unfaithful, flirting with other
celebrities.
14-1
Coming from a modest background, even though he knew he was being cuckolded, he dared not speak up.
What comforted him was that Evelyn’s father genuinely liked him and even got him a high–ranking job at Sunshine
Realty
From a manager, he became an executive overnight, thanks to his father in law, which naturally attracted gossip.
Luckily, his work ethic was commendable, and he quickly proved his worth
But he was exhausted. Every day, he’d return home only to be berated by Evelyn for smelling of alcohol
If it were Zoey, she would have helped him out of his coat the moment he got home, prepared a hangover cure,
and helped him to bed, taking care of everything
Evelyn, being a rich heiress, was not used to serving others
She also despised Murray’s mother, and every time she visited, Evelyn would mock her for being poor
