His phone had been buzzing non-stop until the battery finally gave out. Clearly, he had forgotten about
the thing he had promised to Dylan, just sitting there in the lounge closest to the top floor. Ian pushed
open the door, and the grin on his face was almost blinding. After all, Beck had been mulling over how
to break the news about his identity to Maja, but seeing Ian’s smile, he just knew—Maja must have
agreed to keep the baby. “No way!” Beck slammed his hand on the table in protest, “She’s barely 25,
for heaven’s sake. Why should she suffer through childbirth for you, Ian? You’re really pushing your
luck here. You haven’t offered any gifts, there’s been no wedding, and you even kicked her out once.
Now, you two aren’t even legally bound, and you’re still on the run from the law. And you expect her to
have your child? That’s just irresponsible.” Ian slowly took a seat, “Then go upstairs and tell Maja that.
Tell her she’s the long-lost daughter of the Sanders family. See if she’ll acknowledge that.” With these

finally managed to say something. “What my brother did was wrong, but Dad has been looking for her
all along. He even said he’d give her all the Sanders shares. I hope she’ll meet with my dad.” He said it
with little conviction, knowing full well Maja probably despised the Sanders name. Now it was Ian’s turn
to call the shots, leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea. “How does the Sanders family plan to deal with
Dylan and Judith?” The implication being, if he wasn’t satisfied with their fate, he wasn’t about to let
Maja recognize her kin. Beck’s eyelashes fluttered, his hand trembling slightly. “Dad’s in a coma. Once
all of the Sanders shares are transferred to Maja, she’ll be in charge. If she doesn’t want the
responsibility, I’ll take it on for her. I’ll ensure she gets a satisfactory outcome. Ian, you know my dad
has been searching for her. He thought she was dead, aged overnight, and now he’s

bedridden, not knowing when he’ll wake up.” Ian remained silent, his fingers playing with the lid of his
teacup, eyes dark and deep. After a moment, Beck added in a hoarse voice, “If anything does happen
to my dad, it would also be a regret for Maja.” “Tomorrow, I’ll take Maja to the Sanders estate.” A spark
of hope flashed in Beck’s eyes, and he felt a surge of emotion. “Alright, alright, I get it! I’ll sleep in the
lounge tonight, and we’ll set off together in the morning!” “Suit yourself.” Ian stood up and returned to
the top floor. He climbed into bed and pulled Maja into his arms. “Maja, what do you think of Beck?”
“Beck seems like a decent guy. He helped me out a lot at first. But I never want to see Dylan again in
my life.” Ian hugged her tighter and took a deep breath, savoring her scent. “How about you come with
me to meet Mr. Sanders tomorrow? I need to discuss something with him.” Maja was worried he might
start a conflict with the Sanders family for her sake, her hands cradling his face. “You’re not planning to

still Mr. Sanders’ son, and Mr. Sanders won’t take our side. Besides, we’d be on their turf, and if
anything happened, we’d have nowhere to run.” Ian chuckled and held her even closer. “Trust me, I
won’t let anything happen to you or our child.” At the mention of the word ‘child’, Maja felt a softness in
her bones. “Ian, do you think it’s a boy or a girl?” Without hesitation, Ian replied. “A girl, I hope. I want
her to be like you.” Maja didn’t respond, overcome with sleepiness, and soon drifted off in his arms. Ian
looked down at her face, gently kissed her forehead, and then, content, fell asleep with her in his
embrace. Meanwhile, at the Sanders estate. Dylan had waited for hours without seeing Beck, and he
couldn’t get through to him on the phone. When he tried again, the line was dead. He looked at the
man lying comatose on the bed, but he didn’t get angry. Augus’ white hair made him look much older.
Just a month ago, he seemed vigorous, but now he looked drained of life. Dylan felt a pang of guilt, and
just then, Judith called him at that moment.
