At this point, Grandpa Holden had been moved to the ICU.
lan and Ryan donned protective gear before entering the room. Holden, straining to keep his eyes open, gestured
for lan to come closer.
lan moved in closer, the scent of disinfectant in the air. He listened as Holden spoke, each word a stubborn

“Don’t be with Maja.”

“It’s strange. Wasn’t he the one who adored Maja the most before? Or did he discover some truth during his
disappearance, like Maja having ties with these people, trying to dig out secrets from the Raymond family? After
gaining Holden’s trust, she extracted those secrets and planned to silence him. And if you hadn’t been bitten by

But lan didn’t believe it.
Fitch gave his shoulder a reassuring pat. “Steve took leave, should be here soon. Probably heard about the
