Chapter 2

As Jeff recalled the scene he just saw, heresponded hastily in shock, “Till look her up right away…”

lan lightly closed his tips and his eyebrows furrowed He guessed that it was a trop. Leading him to look

for her was probably the plan.

“No need

If she planned this carefully, what had happened definitely would happen again

Maja humed back to her apartment took a long showet and then flopped onto her bed Closing her

eyes, her mind was filled with that man. At first, she couldn’t adjust to his lustful and erotic action. Until

later, the extreme fear pierced her bones Truth be told, her first time was with Ian. It wasn’t hard for her

to accept this, except she had heard another woman’s name from his mouth.

Carlene Shepard, Carlene…

This was the reason he wanted to divorce Maja

Desp de her extreme exhaustion, the pain in her body kept her awake.

Maja tumed over and still felt uncomfortable. She got up and opened the drawer Inside was their

marriage certificate.

When they registered for marriage, lan did not show up, but her dad found away for her to complete the

registration process alone.

This was the first time she had taken a serious look at this marriage certificate. After just one glance,

she put the thing back and got ready to go see Tricia.

She drove to the hospital It just so happened to be noon, and the nurses had gone to lunch..

Tricia who was resting, looked up to see Maja. Her pale face was filled with surprise, and she sat up

immediately.

“Maja, why are you here?”

She still looked a bit sickly, but her mood wasn’t too bad. “Is dad worrying too much again? I already

told him I’m fine, and specifically asked him not to tellyou.”

Maja sat by the bed and handed over a cup of warm water. “Dad is indeed very worried about you.”

Trica had been sick since childhood. When it was severe, she would pant after just a few steps and

often needed to be hospitalized. For this reason, Neil was especially fond of her

“I really hate being in the hospital. Mom is always by my side, and I can’t eat anything I want Tricia said

pitifully. These past few days, I’ve heard the nurses discussing anew fruit milkshake shop nearby, and

I’ve been drooling about it.” She grabbed Maja’s hand. “You’re the best. I’m being discharged today, so

a little taste wouldn’t hurt”

Tricias eyes widened excitedly, like an innocent kitten. Maja couldn’t refuse and went downstairs to buy

amikshake.

“You can only taste it, not swallow it.” After reminding her repeatedly. Maja was about to feed her when

Cristina’s voice came from the door

“What are you doing?”

Cristina looked both surprised and angry as she strode over, snatched the drink from Maja’s hand, and

threw it in the nearby trash can. “Are you trying to kill your sister while I’m not here? I knew you were

up to no good!” Maja was pushed aside. She glanced at the milkshake in the trash can, replaceing it

somewhat ironic.

“Did she feed you anything else? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

While checking on her daughter Cristina angrily wanted to call Neil to complain. Bul Tricia quickly

stopped het “Mom, you’re misunderstood. I asked sister to buy it.”

Cristina stopped paused, but didn’t feel embarrassed. “Tricia doesn’t know any better. You are her

sister. Shouldn’t you know right from wrong?”

“Would your dad have ignored us for so long if it weren’t for her? How could your health have gotten so

bad?”

“Mom, stop it. Mayais busy with work and rarely comes over.”

Cristina snorted and turned her gaze to the quiet, silent young woman.

As for this daughter born to her husband’s ex wife, she didn’t care. But the girl still had some use to the

Penny feather family Thinking about this, she glanced at Maya’s neck

It was smooth and delicate, without any marks.

Cristina felt puzzled for a moment, wondering if her trick last night had worked.

She wouldn’t have introduced lan, such an excellent man, to Maja if she didn’t expect the Raymond

family to help them again It’s just that her own daughter had such a poor health

Cristina was secretly annoyed and spoke in an even more unpleasant tone. “Tan has returned to the

country now You’re his wife Don’t just think about yourself Think of a way to get the Raymond family to

help your dad”

Hearing her take it for granted, Maja laughed coldly. “You say it as if I havent helped before. Is that

what you think, or is that what Dad thinks too?”

Cristina was left speechless by the pointed question, and Tricia quickly intervened. The doctor

prescribed some medicine for me Maja could you help meget 7”

After leaving the ward, the sound of Cristina’s scolding came from behind

Your dad has been good to her all these years. She has a problem with me. Her mom died from

overworking, and at that time your dad was busy with his career Life was hard I guess she blames me

for all that Hmph, her mom just wasn’t as lucky”

Maja frowned. She was still hurt from last night’s incident, but she had held back from letting Cristina

see

After queuing to get the medicine, she went to the gynecology department. She had a slight tear in her

wound. After the female doctor examined het her expression was particularly serious

“Miss, do you need to report this to the police?”

Maja was taken aback, vaguely understanding what was meant. She said somewhat unnaturaly,

“Actually, it’s my husband hejust returned from abusiness trip and lost control for a moment

The doctor saw her hesitation and seemed to understand what was going on. “Here’s some ointment

Remember to apply it when you get home Don’t have intercourse for a while, and tell your husband to

control himself. You’re stillyoung, don’t let him ruin your body.”

She had assumed Maja had encountered a bad guy.

Maja awkwardly took the ointment, her face turning a bit red. She had just come out of the

gynecologists office and had bumped into Tricu’s brother Glenn

He looked up and saw the medicine in Maja’s hand with a strange look in his eyes, “Maja, you’re here

to visit Tricia Are you feeling unwell?”
