He coldly and ruthlessly comforted himself like this, quickly averting his gaze.
After entering the hospital, Maja finally couldn’t hold on anymore, leaning against the wall to catch her
breath.
The drugs in her body were still kicking in, and her cheek stung from a slap.
Between pain and heat, she felt dizzy.
Luckily, a nurse passed by and helped her into a ward.
Reflecting on the night’s events, Maja felt like throwing up.
And she did throw up, accepting the doctor’s arrangements for an infusion with a pale face.
At this time, Neil still had to send a text, reminding her not to forget to bring lan back.
“Maja, since you married lan, you gotta let him come to the Penny feathers at least once.”
Maja guessed right away that the Pennyfeathers needed lan to hold the fort to dispel the rumors.
After all, the Pennyfeathers had passed the second financing round, and their network would only grow.
Many people, out of respect for the marriage between the Pennyfeathers and the Raymonds, would
give the Pennyfeathers shortcuts; in reality, they were giving respect to lan and the Raymonds.
But in this circle, no one is doing charity; there must be a return.
If the relationship between the Pennyfeathers and the Raymonds is not good, then the return offered by
the Pennyfeathers would be meager, not worth a second glance, so the Pennyfeathers must prove that
lan cares about this marriage.
Thus, those who respected them would continue to do so.
Sitting alone in the hospital, Maja felt a chill in her heart.
But Neil sent not just one message but another.
“I shouldn’t argue with you so much, but you have to believe it’s all for your own good.”
A slap followed by candy was his usual trick.
Maja forced a smile.
But after her mother’s death, her father took responsibility for everything, and she had seen how hard
her father worked to make money when she was a child.
She couldn’t just leave Neil alone, especially since Neil only had a year left.
Thinking about this, Maja felt upset.
She didn’t reply to this message and saw his last sentence.
“If you have lan to rely on, your future will be ‘easier. That way, I’ll be at peace even if I’m not around
one day.”
Maja had to reply to this.
“Dad, I understand; don’t talk like that anymore.”
Because Neil didn’t have much time left, Maja couldn’t stand him talking like this.
On such a stuffy and humid night, alone in the hospital, staring at the dark night outside the window,
listening to the occasional coughing of patients in the corridor, she suddenly felt an overwhelming
sense of loneliness and isolation.
She lowered her eyelashes, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Her phone beeped; she thought it was Neil again. Suppressing the emotions churning in her heart, she
opened it to see it was
lan.
“You don’t need to pay back the money.”
His tone was cold; even through the screen, it felt colder.
But thinking of this man who saved her twice, warmth miraculously filled her heart.
“Thank you.”
lan looked at these two formal words and wanted to ask her, how are you now?
His finger just touched the screen when he suddenly realized what he was doing.
He froze, then threw the phone away, frowning.
conside
He didn’t enjoy this feeling and considered it a bad start.
As soon as the name appeared on the screen of the abandoned phone and it began to ring, all the
intense emotions in his heart dissipated.
“Carlene.”
He pressed the answer key and called out.
A gentle woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Did I disturb you?”
“No.”
lan was always short of words; after saying this, he fell silent.
But Carlene was good at making conversation; she talked about recent events, then, full of laughter,
she said what she wanted to say most tonight.
“I’m coming back soon, lan.”.
