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 yourheart, no one could’ve saved you”
Phelps words hit her like a punch, freezing her instantly
She almost killed lan
Had 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 toregain 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 anexit.
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 mustbe 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 shrinkMaybe her time at Eric’s mansion has caused some psychological issues she’s not aware of lan, you’rebeing too vulnerable around her, it’s dangerous”
Fitch nodded in agreement. “We should get a psychologist for her. She’s not making much sense. Wemay 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 shewas trapped in a different place
But this was Greenfield Gardens, and she was living under lan’s watchful eyes, he wouldn’t let anythinghappen to her.
Maja clung onto lan’s arm, her voice a mere whisper, “Maybe we should call a psychologist, I might besick
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 beenreaching 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
Zoey had been trying to reach Maja these past few days, but someone else always answered thephone. The last time it was lan who picked up, saying Maja needed some rest and for any urgentmatters regarding the company they could contact him
