Chapter 2
As Jeff recalled the scene he just saw, heresponded hastily in shock, “Till look her up right away…”
lan lightly closed his tips and his eyebrows furrowed He guessed that it was a trop. Leading him to
look for her was probably the plan.
“No need
If she planned this carefully, what had happened definitely would happen again
Maja humed back to her apartment took a long showet and then flopped onto her bed Closing her
eyes, her mind was filled with that man. At first, she couldn’t adjust to his lustful and erotic action. Until
later, the extreme fear pierced her bones Truth be told, her first time was with Ian. It wasn’t hard for her
to accept this, except she had heard another woman’s name from his mouth.
Carlene Shepard, Carlene…
This was the reason he wanted to divorce Maja
Desp de her extreme exhaustion, the pain in her body kept her awake.
Maja tumed over and still felt uncomfortable. She got up and opened the drawer Inside was their
marriage certificate.
When they registered for marriage, lan did not show up, but her dad found away for her to complete the
registration process alone.
This was the first time she had taken a serious look at this marriage certificate. After just one glance,
she put the thing back and got ready to go see Tricia.
She drove to the hospital It just so happened to be noon, and the nurses had gone to lunch..
Tricia who was resting, looked up to see Maja. Her pale face was filled with surprise, and she sat up
immediately.
“Maja, why are you here?”
She still looked a bit sickly, but her mood wasn’t too bad. “Is dad worrying too much again? I already
told him I’m fine, and specifically asked him not to tellyou.”
Maja sat by the bed and handed over a cup of warm water. “Dad is indeed very worried about you.”
Trica had been sick since childhood. When it was severe, she would pant after just a few steps and
often needed to be hospitalized. For this reason, Neil was especially fond of her
“I really hate being in the hospital. Mom is always by my side, and I can’t eat anything I want Tricia said
pitifully. These past few days, I’ve heard the nurses discussing anew fruit milkshake shop nearby, and
I’ve been drooling about it.” She grabbed Maja’s hand. “You’re the best. I’m being discharged today, so
a little taste wouldn’t hurt”
Tricias eyes widened excitedly, like an innocent kitten. Maja couldn’t refuse and went downstairs to buy
amikshake.
“You can only taste it, not swallow it.” After reminding her repeatedly. Maja was about to feed her when
Cristina’s voice came from the door
“What are you doing?”
Cristina looked both surprised and angry as she strode over, snatched the drink from Maja’s hand, and
threw it in the nearby trash can. “Are you trying to kill your sister while I’m not here? I knew you were
up to no good!” Maja was pushed aside. She glanced at the milkshake in the trash can, finding it
somewhat ironic. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Did she feed you anything else? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
While checking on her daughter Cristina angrily wanted to call Neil to complain. Bul Tricia quickly
stopped het “Mom, you’re misunderstood. I asked sister to buy it.”
Cristina stopped paused, but didn’t feel embarrassed. “Tricia doesn’t know any better. You are her
sister. Shouldn’t you know right from wrong?”
“Would your dad have ignored us for so long if it weren’t for her? How could your health have gotten so
bad?”
“Mom, stop it. Mayais busy with work and rarely comes over.”
Cristina snorted and turned her gaze to the quiet, silent young woman.
As for this daughter born to her husband’s ex wife, she didn’t care. But the girl still had some use to the
Penny feather family Thinking about this, she glanced at Maya’s neck
It was smooth and delicate, without any marks.
Cristina felt puzzled for a moment, wondering if her trick last night had worked.
She wouldn’t have introduced lan, such an excellent man, to Maja if she didn’t expect the Raymond
family to help them again It’s just that her own daughter had such a poor health
Cristina was secretly annoyed and spoke in an even more unpleasant tone. “Tan has returned to the
country now You’re his wife Don’t just think about yourself Think of a way to get the Raymond family to
help your dad”
Hearing her take it for granted, Maja laughed coldly. “You say it as if I havent helped before. Is that
what you think, or is that what Dad thinks too?”
Cristina was left speechless by the pointed question, and Tricia quickly intervened. The doctor
prescribed some medicine for me Maja could you help meget 7”
After leaving the ward, the sound of Cristina’s scolding came from behind
Your dad has been good to her all these years. She has a problem with me. Her mom died from
overworking, and at that time your dad was busy with his career Life was hard I guess she blames me
for all that Hmph, her mom just wasn’t as lucky”
Maja frowned. She was still hurt from last night’s incident, but she had held back from letting Cristina
see
After queuing to get the medicine, she went to the gynecology department. She had a slight tear in her
wound. After the female doctor examined het her expression was particularly serious
“Miss, do you need to report this to the police?”
Maja was taken aback, vaguely understanding what was meant. She said somewhat unnaturaly,
“Actually, it’s my husband hejust returned from abusiness trip and lost control for a moment
The doctor saw her hesitation and seemed to understand what was going on. “Here’s some ointment
Remember to apply it when you get home Don’t have intercourse for a while, and tell your husband to
control himself. You’re stillyoung, don’t let him ruin your body.”
She had assumed Maja had encountered a bad guy.
Maja awkwardly took the ointment, her face turning a bit red. She had just come out of the
gynecologists office and had bumped into Tricu’s brother Glenn
He looked up and saw the medicine in Maja’s hand with a strange look in his eyes, “Maja, you’re here
to visit Tricia Are you feeling unwell?”
