Chapter 1078
A few folks swallowed hard, suddenly finding their packed sandwiches hard to swallow.
Maja took out a disposable bowl and served lan some soup.
“lan, give it a try”
lan took it and had a sip, surprised
He was a hard man to please when it came to food, but he had to admit that soup was delicious.
While everyone else was eating their dry sandwiches, that wild mushroom soup seemed particularly precious.
Maja served Ryan and Tyler a bowl each, then ignored everyone else.
Those who had just been making sarcastic comments swallowed hard, then tried to dissuade Tyler
“Tyler, aren’t you afraid of food poisoning?”
“Scared of what?” Tyler downed the soup in one gulp. I’ve got lan as my backstop”
The soup cooked with spring water and wild mushrooms was so delicious that all four of them had a second bowl.
There was still half a pot left in the little iron pot, and everyone thought Maja would share it with them. Some had
even prepared their bowls.

“Maja, you’re selfish. Just because you ve had your fill doesn’t mean you shouldn’t let others have some.”
“You’d rather waste it than share. You should be ashamed.”
“Selfish and mean!”
Maja’s eyebrows furrowed, realizing she had nothing to say to these people.
She was sitting a bit away from the others, and lan was looking at a map with Tyler, saying they would pick wild fruit
in the morning.
Maja’s phone rang at this moment. It was a text message from a strange number.
[Maja, come down the small path on your right, walk about two hundred yards, and come and meet me.]
That was from Holden.
There was a hot spring at the campsite where the women would take a dip later.
But the women were still chattering away, and no one was going to the hot springs yet.
Maja gave lan a nod, saying she would take a bath first
lan didn’t suspect anything, and he just told her to be careful
Maja followed the path and walked over two hundred yards She could no longer hear the others.
Indeed, there was a silhouette sitting on a rock not far ahead
“Grandpa Holden”
She called out and walked over slowly.
Holden coughed, his eyes cloudy as he looked at her.
Maja didn’t even know how he could be here.
Everyone was looking for him, and yet he was here.
“Maja”
Holden’s body was clearly failing. He slowly raised his hand and grasped hers.
Maja could feel that he had lost a lot of weight
“Grandpa Holden, whatever you want to tell me, I’ll take you to see lan after that. He’s worried about you.”
Holden was silent and slowly let go of her hand
He took a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood he had coughed up
Maja patted his back but heard him say, “I was wrong I shouldn’t have it you and lan be together. If I had known this
would happen.”
Before he could finish, he started coughing violently
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaja patted his back, still not understanding what he was trying to say
Holden’s physical condition was really bad He would cough a few times every time he spoke a few words.
After a rest, he said hoarsely, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done that. Fate is cruel
“Grandpa Holden, don’t rush.”
Holden suddenly took out a small box and placed it in her hand.
“Maja, you must give that to lan.”
“Must give it to him.”
His consciousness was already blurred. Maja was about to call lan, but a strong force came from behind.
She and Holden rolled down the slope in front of them.
Maja wanted to cushion Holden, but there were footsteps following closely behind.
“Grandpa Holden, you go first!”
As soon as she spoke, she heard the sound of chaos coming from a distance. Obviously, something had happened
there as well.
Maja looked up and saw a few men wearing masks standing in front of her. She recognized the one standing closest
to her as Patric
Because he was wearing the same clothes yesterday.
