Chapter 1296
lan had never been so meticulous in taking care of someone. He washed every inch of her skin until it was clean,
then used a towel to wipe her body once more, before picking her up and placing her on the bed.
He even thoughtfully wrapped her hair up, so it remained dry
lan stayed at the bedside, not daring to take a single step away, his gaze fixed on her face.
It was as if he couldn’t get enough of looking at her
His fingertips gently intertwined with hers, and he lay there by the bed, never moving to lie down on it himself
Maja woke up at seven in the morning the next day. She opened her eyes, her throat feeling hoarse
Tan, what time is it?”
A cup of lukewarm water was immediately handed to her She caught a whiff of his scent and felt instantly at ease
“What time is it?
“It’s seven in the morning
“How did I fall asleep last night? | remember lots of people talking”
“Phelps prescribed you some medicine
Maja had already forgotten what she had heard last night. Her mind had been foggy, and she couldn’t remember

But now she felt in great physical condition, clear headed and refreshed.
“What kind of medicine was it? I feel much better today I’ve been feeling light–headed and have been having
strange hallucinations these past few days. But now, I can feel you by my side for real, and it feels so good
As she said this, her face was full of smiles, and she reached out to grab his hand.
lan pressed his lips, slowly pulling her into his embrace
“Yeah
“It would be so nice if we could always be like this.”
Perhaps because she was feeling physically comfortable, her smile became even more genuine.
lan didn’t say anything and just held her quietly, looking into the distance
His silence made Maja uneasy
“Whats wrong? Did something happen?”
“No I was just thinking about what to make you for breakfast. I’ll cook it myself”
When she thought of him cooking. Maja remembered the knife she had stabbed him with and instantly felt regret
‘Let me see your wound
She reached to pull up his shirt, but lan grabbed her fingers, holding them tightly as if she would disappear the next
second
Maja found it incredibly sweet, and she smiled.
“Maja I’m fine. It wasn’t a deep cut. I take you downstairs. I’ll cook, and you can sit in the living room, listening to
the TV, okay? I have Coco and Rocky come keep you
company
“Okay”
She agreed quickly, clearly missing Coco too
When they got downstairs, she took a seat on the couch. Not far away, she heard the sound of a dog barking,
followed by something tugging at her pant leg.
It was Coco
She bent down to pet it, hearing lan say, Tm going to the kitchen to cook some porridge and stir–fry a few dishes
“Okay
Maja’s hand rested on Coco’s head, and the dog enthusiastically nuzzled against it
“Woof woof woof
The fluffy sensation was very enjoyable, and she petted it for a good ten minutes before she felt the couch next to
her sink. This heavy feeling meant Rocky had taken a

She reached out, and sure enough, she touched Rocky’s sturdy body
The delicious smell of cooking wafted from the kitchen, and Maja felt a sense of warmth
Even though she still couldn’t see
She took off her shoes, curled up on the couch, and rested her head against Rocky’s body feeling incredibly warm
Every so often, lan would come out to see a beautiful woman lying on a pile of white fluff her entire being seeming
even more pure
The scene was so beautiful that he couldn’t help but take out his phone and snap a photo, which he promptly set as
his wallpaper
Back in the kitchen, as he stirred the porridge, his eyes started to well up.
He felt a sting in his heart
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, one hand stiming the porridge with a spoon
As Maja smelled the aroma of the porridge, she wanted to find her way to the kitchen, but then her phone rang it
was a call from her company
She walked towards the sound, blindly pressing buttons until she hit the answer key it was Elva who had called
“Ms Pennyleather, Zoey didn’t come to work today, and no one’s answering her phone. There was a message in the
company group chat this morning”
