Chapter 1761
“Jeff, let's head back,” Ian said, his brows furrowed as he glanced outside.
Jeff had no choice but to hit the gas.
Once home, Ian brought up the idea of a wedding at the Grand Hall to Maja, but she shot it downwithout a second thought.
“I designed Greenfield Gardens myself, and that's where I want our wedding. Just close friends,nothing over the top.”
Ian reached out and gently rubbed her belly, where their future was steadily growing. The latestcheck-up showed everything was normal, and Ian couldn't bear the thought of any mishaps now.
He pulled her into an embrace. “Alright, Greenfield Gardens it is. Let’s have our wedding photostaken there, too. No one’s ever done that before.”
Maja chuckled at his flair for the dramatic. When she noticed the sweat on his forehead, shegrabbed a tissue from the coffee table to wipe it away. But in the next moment, Ian fainted.
“Ian?” Maja first thought he was just exhausted and tried to wake him, but he wouldn’t stir.Frantically, she called Jeff for help to get Ian to the hospital and reached out to Dr. Sarah.
When Dr. Sarah saw Maja, her face was etched with concern. She hesitated, lips pressed tight,then finally placed a comforting hand on Maja's head.
“It’s probably something he’s been exposed to that’s triggered a reaction with his medication. He’sbeen toughing it out, but it looks like it was too much for him this time.”
Tears welled up in Maja’s eyes. “Is there really nothing we can do? What if Queena could help?”
Dr. Sarah carefully examined the data. “Queena’s blood does help Ian, but it would also make himforget his true self. He’d become utterly dependent on her, a puppet in her hands. We can’t letQueena come back. Whatever she’s concocted over the years, there’s no known cure. He has toendure it on his own.”
She set the data aside, her brow furrowed with concern.
“What’s strange is that Ian’s been managing fine on his own, with no issues. Over time, he shouldbe developing a higher tolerance to this irritation, but the data shows a sudden peak. Either somedrug has stimulated this, or Queena has been near him recently.”
Maja remembered the news from the day before and quickly objected.
“That’s impossible. Queena was fast-tracked for execution because of interference. It happenedyesterday; she’s dead. There’s no way she could be around Ian.”
And with the execution carried out publicly, survival seemed out of the question.
But as Sarah looked at the report, sympathy mingled with her professional concern. Maja, evenwhile pregnant, was stronger than she had anticipated.
Without hesitation, Maja dialed Fitch’s number.
“Fitch, it’s Maja. Check on Queena’s case for me. I need to know if it was really her who wasexecuted yesterday.”
Fitch put down Ozzy and raised an eyebrow.novelbin
“You think there was a switch? That kind of scandal could drag down entire families if proven.”
“We need to check to be sure.”
After Maja hung up, her gaze returned to Ian, who lay unconscious. Dr. Sarah continued reviewingthe data, marking up the report until her expression tightened at a particular line.
“Doctor, what have you found?”
“This data fluctuation is too erratic. It makes me think he might have actually encountered Queenaherself.”
Maja took a deep breath, the implication clear: Queena might have escaped the execution andcould still be alive.
