A couple of days passed and
three powerhouses were still frantically searching for Maja. The buzz was all around the place
Yet, Maja remained missing
lan had been out and about these past days, barely making a stop at Greenfield Gardens
With all the staff of Greenfield Gardens dispatched by him, he was hell bent on locating Maja. His desperation
echoed in his actions
Meanwhile, Maja, who was being sought by all, was slowly coming to consciousness.
A veil of darkness greeted her She couldn’t see a thing
Instinctively, she reached her hand to the nightstand, intending to switch on the light
But a hand intercepted her wrist
“How are you feeling”

“You’ve had a serious injury. Try not to move around too much”
“Switch on the light, please I can’t see anything”
The man seemed taken aback and glanced at the room bathed in sunshine
He waved his hand in front of Maja’s eyes.
There was no flicker of recognition in her eyes. They were as still as dead water.
Maja quickly realized what was happening. She could sense the warm tinge of sunlight, yet her vision was pitch
black
“Am | blind?”
Due to the heavy blow on her head, were her nerves damaged?
She sounded calm enough, but her hand dropped to her side, clenching slowly. Her nails almost dug into her palm
Footsteps echoed from the outside, followed by someone examining her
She felt like an outsider, hearing them discuss her current condition
Someone asked if her sight could be restored. The answer was uncertain, It was unclear whether it was temporary
or permanent blindness
Maja froze feeling her heart sink slowly into an abyss of darkness.
A hand gently rested on her wrist and she heard the man’s comforting voice.
“It’s okay Dont worry”
Maja remained silent, feeling cold all over
She had no idea where she was, who the people around her were, or how many days had passed since she
escaped the basement.

She was enveloped by immense grief, and her throat ached terribly
The man’s hand gently landed on her shoulder again
“Rest here There will be people taking care of you if you need anything just let them know.”

“You w been seriously injured. You ll have to take these for some time”
The pili slid down her throat leaving a faint bitter aftertaste
The man’s voice echoed in her ears again.
