Female Novel
Chapter 1122
The hallway fell silent for half an hour before Dylan broke the silence.
"Never thought about actually proposing to Judith, right?" he asked. "Let's be honest here, Maja's
background isn't exactly fitting for you. If I were to lay the blame on her this time, are you going to side
with her?"
"And how would you blame Maja, Mr. Sanders?"
"That's her mom, isn't it? It's because of her that Clara pushed Judith. Judith's never been treated like
that in the Sanders family."
True to that, Ian couldn't deny. He had heard plenty about how the Sanders family doted on their little
princess.
The hallway fell silent again. Dylan didn't press him further, his gaze anxiously fixed on the direction of
the emergency room.
An entire night passed, and yet there was no sign of Judith being rolled out.
At the end of the hallway stood Wind, knowing that this mess was intentionally arranged by Judith.
Despite her frail body, once Judith had made up her mind, she would stop at nothing, no matter the
cost.
Just like how she used this incident to provoke Ian, wasn't it all to make him see how dysfunctional
Maja's family was?
Moreover, with her injured, the Sanders family would inevitably hold the guilty parties accountable,
killing two birds with one stone.
Standing quietly, Wind felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Judith was willing to go to such lengths for Ian.
He recalled what Judith had said before, about killing Maja during the hike.
But plans couldn't keep up with changes. Maja had left on her own and ran into Holden, which
prevented him from acting on his own.
Now that Judith was in critical condition, he had to clear all obstacles for her.
A fierce glint flashed in Wind's eyes as he quietly left the place.
If Judith couldn't make it, he would make Maja taste the harshest torture this world could offer!
At this point, Maja was still resting at Rosewood Manor. Her body had been severely drained recently.
Once she got home, she had been lying in bed.
Coco was by her side, occasionally barking.
Maria knew from Maja's dispirited return that her trip to see Ian hadn't ended well.
She was frustrated. If Holden was still alive, Ms. Pennyfeather wouldn't have been treated this way.
But all of Ms. Pennyfeather's family members who should have passed away had done so. Now, apart
from Carol, no one had visited Rosewood Manor. She had no relatives left.
How could Mr. Raymond treat Ms. Pennyfeather like this?
Maria sighed and ordered the chef to prepare food at any time in case Maja woke up hungry.
Maja, lying in bed, woke up in the middle of the night after a few hours of sleep.
Her stomach ached terribly. She fumbled for some stomach medicine downstairs, took a few pills and
sat on the couch.
The night was a bit chilly, and after sitting for a while, she felt stiff all over.
She recalled what Patric had said about not using protection that time, and her face turned pale.
She quickly checked the stomach medicine she had just taken, confirming that it was safe to take and
finally eased her mind.
Then, she looked down at her own belly. Her period was still missing this month. Could she really be
pregnant?
But after returning from Patric's place that time, she had also slept with Ian.
With this thought, a wave of self-loathing surged up in her heart, which became more and more evident
after returning to Rosewood Manor.
She was even a bit scared to find out the answer.
She sat in the living room until six in the morning.
Maria got up and saw her exhausted face, which gave her a fright.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, if you're not feeling well, I'll have someone take you to the hospital."
Maja instinctively touched her belly and shook her head slowly.
She remembered the first child she had lost and couldn't help feeling sad.
Maria sighed again and began ordering the chef to prepare something.novelbin
Maja's meeting with Carol this time was too brief, and given her poor condition, Carol forgot to tell her
that Ian knew about Eric being her first love and was very concerned about it.
Without knowing this crucial piece of information, Maja felt even more wronged whenever she thought
of Ian.
The incident by the cliff was indeed prone to misunderstanding, but Ian should at least give her a
chance to explain, rather than getting close to Judith right away.
She had had the servants at Rosewood Manor get her a new phone. She dialed Ian's number again,
thinking she would be blocked, but surprisingly, the call went through.
Ian was still in the hospital at the moment. Judith's rescue operation had been going on all night and
was still not over.
He heard his phone ring, picked it up and saw it was Maja calling.
He didn't answer. He just stared at the flashing screen, as if he had been stunned.
The call hung up automatically, and in a short while, it rang again.
Dylan and Beck were also in the hallway, both finding the phone ring annoying. Dylan even made a
direct guess.
"Is that Maja calling?"
Ian didn't speak, so Dylan strode over and hung up the phone.
"My sister's life is in the balance, and you're on the phone with the one who caused all this?"
Ian wanted to retort that Maja wasn't the main culprit. Why should she bear the responsibility for the
sins committed by her parents?
But the Sanders family was fuming at the moment. If he spoke out now, Maja would be even more
targeted.
