She was crying her eyes out. Seeing the man lying in a pool of blood, she passed out straight away.
Maja stood not too far away, too scared to come closer.
She could feel the resentment radiating from Connie’s gaze.
She opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words to say.
She quickly took off her coat and handed it to lan.
She wanted to explain, but lan wrapped Connie in the coat and walked out without a word.
Maja stood there, realizing this would be a heartache for the Raymond family. The distance between
her and lan felt like it had suddenly expanded to a whole galaxy.
The room was thick with tension, and the man had been tormenting Connie for a while, at least for forty
minutes.
The other kidnappers in the building had been dealt with, but this one had stayed in this room and thus
was not discovered in time.
Maja followed lan, her heart‘ heavy. When they reached the lobby on the first floor, they found that the
door was already open, and the police were methodically working on the scene.
lan had Connie taken to the ambulance, instructing the doctors to do a full body check.
After all, she had been violated, and it was uncertain whether the man had any diseases.
Just as he finished saying this, a call from the Raymond family came through. It was from Holden
Raymond.
Clearly, the news had spread far and wide. Everyone knew, even Holden.
“lan, your dad has sent a lot of people over. Are you okay?”
lan filled him in on Connie’s situation.
Connie had always been the apple of the Raymond family’s eye, and she had always trusted lan. Even
though lan had conflicts with her father and her brother, her favorite cousin was still lan.
Holden also doted on his granddaughter. Now that this had happened, he had no idea how Connie
would react when she woke up.
Holden let out a sigh.
“Have her checked out over there first, and then get a good psychologist when you get back.”
lan nodded, then was asked,
“Why did you suddenly go to Crystalbrook Valley?”
He made up some excuse and brushed it off. Upon hearing, Holden said, “Maja’s hometown is
Crystalbrook Valley. With such a big incident happening there, she must be concerned. I should call her
to see if she’s in Crystalbrook Valley!”
lan squinted. He had no previous knowledge of this woman and didn’t even know where she was from.
But hearing Holden say this, his heart skipped a beat.
“Maja, she’s also from Crystalbrook Valley?”
He sounded indifferent, his hand gripping the phone tightly.
But Holden didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
After hanging up, lan fell into deep thought.
The area around the building was still in chaos, and the kidnapped hostages were gradually being
rescued.
The area had long been cordoned off, with reporters continuously reporting on the scene.
Maja was worried about being caught on camera, so she found a hidden place to hide.
lan soon came over and pulled her into a car.
There was nothing left for them to do here.
He sat in the driver’s seat, his expression calm.
The car was heading towards the hospital, seemingly to visit Connie.
Connie was still unconscious, her eyes swollen from crying.
lan waited in the hallway, asking the doctor about her condition.
“Her vagina has signs of tearing, but there are no other physical injuries. She might need to see a
psychologist.”
After experiencing such an event and seeing such a bloody scene, it’s unlikely that Connie’s
psychological trauma will heal quickly.
Maj? stood outside the hallway, too afraid to see Connie.
She kept seeing the look Connie gave her. It was full of resentment.
But she didn’t regret hiding Connie in the storeroom. It was a very hidden place and should have been
safe.
Unless Connie was too scared and left on her own.
And if she had taken Connie with her at the time, both of them might have been in danger. She couldn’t
possibly report the situation to the people outside; this problem wouldn’t be solved so quickly, and even
more hostages on the first floor could have been harmed.
Maja’s mind was in chaos until lan came back and stood beside her again.
“Why didn’t you stay with Connie if you knew she was there?”
This was lan’s question, and would also be the question of the other members of the Raymond family.
She might become the scapegoat of the Raymond family again. novelbin
Maja opened her mouth, seeing him irritably light up a cigarette, his brows furrowed.
“Connie has been spoiled since she was a child. she might have a hard time dealing with this. If she
says something harsh to you, don’t take it to heart
So lan realized, too, that Connie had already started to resent her.
