Female Novel
Chapter 954
Maja instantly dropped the kitchen utensils she was holding, grabbed his hand, and set the kitchen
knife aside.
"Go to the bathroom."
With his eyes half-closed, Ian was pushed towards the restroom on the first floor.
Maja cupped her hands to scoop some water, splashing it over his eyes.
"Bend over so you don't get your clothes wet."
He immediately bent over, his eyes still stinging with pain.
Maja rinsed his eyes several times, then grabbed his hands, squeezed some hand soap onto her
palms, and carefully scrubbed each finger.
After rinsing off the soap, she applied more soap for a second round to wash off the garlic smell on his
hands.
Maja snatched a towel from nearby, dried his fingers, then held his chin up slightly with one hand.
"How about now, do your eyes still hurt?"
They were too close, close enough to feel each other's breath.
Ian's eyes were still red and somewhat painful, but it was bearable.
"I think I'm going blind."
Upon hearing this, Maja rinsed his eyes with water several more times.
"If it was too unbearable, we should go to the hospital."
"No need. I'll just lie down on the sofa for a bit."
She helped him to the sofa, careful not to touch his wounds, then instructed.
"Lay down, don't move. Do you still want some food?"
Maja didn't want to admit it, but when she lifted Ian's chin just now, she was taken aback by his
handsome face.
So much so that her heart was still beating fast.
Ian reached for a pillow to prop behind him on the couch. Just as he was about to nod, his phone rang.
He didn't want to answer it, but seeing it was from the old mansion, he answered.
The butler's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Sir, Holden left at six in the evening and hasn't returned!"novelbin
Ian immediately stood up, his tone turning cold.
"Did Grandpa say anything before he left?"
"Holden just mentioned that he had something to do. I thought he would see you, so I didn't ask
further."
"Didn't he have a driver with him?"
"He did, but the driver is not answering the phone either."
After hanging up, Ian made several more phone calls, instructing everyone to look for Holden.
Upon hearing that Holden was missing, Maja immediately accompanied him to the car.
But as soon as their car left Rosewood Manor, they saw several cars parked outside, all belonging to
Dennis's men.
Dennis was standing in the middle of the road, looking smug.
Behind him stood other members of the Raymond family. Even Maureen was there.
With the news of Holden's disappearance, everyone suspected Ian was behind it.
To secure his position as the heir of the Raymond family, he needed the 15% shares held by Holden.
Dressed in a suit, Dennis stood at the front, righteous and stern.
"Ian, I never thought you would lay a hand on your own grandfather. The Raymond family will no longer
tolerate you."
Ian sat in the driver's seat, coldly eyeing the people blocking his path.
Maureen looked perplexed, but under the illumination of the headlights, she spotted Maja in the
passenger seat and was furious.
"Ian, what's happened to you? Are you going to keep making mistakes for Maja?"
Other members of the Raymond family also started questioning him, asking where he had hidden
Holden.
Everyone suspected him.
Just like when the news of Eric's death came, everyone suspected he had killed Eric.
Ian was getting impatient and stepped on the accelerator.
Dennis thought that Ian would get out of the car and see him there, but he didn't.
As the car sped towards him, Dennis quickly dodged to the side.
Ian drove straight between the gap of two cars, pushing both obstructing cars aside like a challenge to
the crowd.
