Maja had been restless since she'd phoned home, haunted by dreams of Carol for two consecutive nights.
She then made two calls to Carol, and finding nothing unusual in Carol's tone, she eased her worries and focused on her affairs.
Still unable to locate Patric, the Sanders family had last night summoned a team of doctors for an emergency intervention for
Augus. His condition required immediate attention.
Maja and lan were now staying at a hotel, and she grew anxious upon hearing that the international team hadn't located the
research base either.
"I need to contact K myself," she declared, convinced that facing danger was the only way to lure their adversary.
"No way!"
lan dismissed the idea instantly.
K was determined to eliminate Maja, and revealing her location could mean a bullet flying her way the next second.
As Maja was about to protest, a knock at the door interrupted them.
She opened it to find her exact double on the threshold. It wasn't just a resemblance—it was as if she had been copied and pasted.
Her heart skipped a beat at the sight. Just as she was about to be on guard, she saw the woman walk over to lan and bow her head
respectfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sir."
She greeted and knelt on one knee.
Maja looked at lan, clueless.
lan, equally surprised by the woman's early appearance, hurriedly explained. "This is someone | trained a long tago. We've
performed a plastic surgery, and with the right makeup, she can perfectly impersonate you."
Anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing someone who looks so much like themselves standing before them.
Maja remained silent, and the woman continued kneeling.
She had to admit, the woman really resembled her, even her walking posture was a deliberate imitation of hers.
lan took Maja's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"If someone has to be the target, let her do it. Maja, I'll take you back to the Sanders family to rest and take care of the pregnancy.”
Maja frowned. Did this mean that lan would be working with this woman?
Instinctively, her hand went to her belly. She had always known that this was not the right tfor a pregnancy, as there were
many unresolved dangers looming.
But this woman who had suddenly appeared...
She glanced at the woman still kneeling respectfully and brushed aside the unease in her heart.
"Okay."
Her last foray into Forbidden Island had been a stroke of luck. If she took another risk this tand something happened to the
child, she wouldn't forgive herself.
lan ruffled her hair affectionately.
"Her code nis 00. She's someone | trained."
It seemed he had long considered using 00 as Maja's stand-in.
Maja was dropped off at the Sanders family, and as she stepped out of the car, she took one last look at the back seat. Had she not
seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe there was someone so similar to her in this world.
00 sat there quietly. The likeness was uncanny, nearly ninety percent similar.
"Maja, stay in touch," lan tucked her hair behind her ear and said with a serious tone. "I'll find the location of the research base as
soon as possible."
She nodded, her father's situation was critical; they needed to obtain the antidote quickly.
Watching lan drive away, Maja felt a twinge of anxiety.
Until the people from the Sanders family cout to take her inside.
Beck had arranged a quiet room for her and assigned two servants to attend to her needs.
Maja spent a restless first night reaching out to lan for updates but next, she received a call from 00.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, we're en route to Astronia," said the voice on the other end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaja sprang from her seat. Astronia? lan had never mentioned going there.
She ended the call and dialed lan's number, but it went unanswered. She called 00 again, and 00's tone was so nonchalant it made
Maja uncomfortable.
Because the tone was exactly like her own, it felt like she was talking to herself.
"We've got sclues on the research base, but there's an outbreak of an epidemic in Astronia. So Mr. Raymond won't risk taking
you there. But don't worry, Ms. Pennyfeather, I'll take good care of him."
Take good care—00 assured her, an undercurrent of challenge in her tone.
The reassurance felt like a taunt, especially with lan unreachable. Maja's anxiety spiraled, and with it, a growing discomfort in her
belly.
