Chapter 593
Maja felt totally wiped out. She swapped her shoes at the entrance and decided to head to her room.
Her eyes were still puffy, and her gait was a little off.
lan watched her, stood up, and said, “Penny.”
Too exhausted to chat, Maja walked into her room and flopped onto her bed.
lan followed her in but just leaned against the door, watching her lying motionless.
He approached her, hesitated for a minute, then slowly reached out to gently pat her head.
Her hair was still short, now all tousled, and her hand was clenching the bed sheet beneath her.
He had no regrets about treating her this way. If anyone else had nearly killed him, he wouldn’t even give them a
chance to explain. That person would just quietly vanish from the world.
But all he did was torment her in bed for two days.
He sat by the bed, gently patting her back.
Maja’s tears were still falling silently as she heard him say, “The medicine you gave me that day caused a severe
allergic reaction. I was in critical care all night.”
She froze as if under a spell.
“I’m sorry…”
She didn’t know he was allergic to the medication.
Hearing her apology, the last bit of resentment in lan’s heart vanished.
“If anyone else did this to me, I would stop at nothing to get back at her.”
Maja didn’t say anything. She just felt him slowly moving closer, whispering in her ear

She froze again, disbelief flickering in her eyes.
Did he already know?
But the hospital was supposed to be confidential. Was he mocking her in this humiliating way?
She bit her lip, her whole body shaking.
lan’s voice was even softer: “The guy from the past two days was me.”
At his words, Maja looked up at him.
Her eyes were swollen, and her face was streaked with tears.
Shock registered in her eyes first, then turned into anger.
“lan!”
She sprang up from the bed but was pushed back down by him.
This was the first time she had called his name like this, and she was so angry that she was in tears.
lan held her down by her neck, not letting her get up.
“You almost killed me, and I can’t get back at you?”
Maja was shaking all over, wanting to bite a piece off him, her tears falling even harder.
“Phelps Herrington said if I’d arrived at the hospital half an hour later, I would have been goners. Penny, you’re
much more ruthless than I am. I’ve never thought of taking your life.”
He reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
Her face was small, and her eyes were swollen like a goldfish’s, looking rather pitiful.
He didn’t feel like making a big deal out of it anymore.
“Let’s put this behind us.”
Maja lay back on the bed, tears still streaming down her face, but she had to admit that, knowing the man was lan,
the feeling of nausea and panic was gone.
At least she wasn’t really raped by a stranger.
Lately, her life had been hellish. Just hearing the sound of dress shoes on the floor would make her tense up.
But he didn’t care about her feelings.
lan took out some ointment he had prepared, grabbed her wrist, and started applying it.
The ointment felt cool.
“Penny, I’m getting a divorce tomorrow.”
Maja lay in bed and remained silent.
lan carefully applied the ointment to both her wrists, then blew on them gently.
This made Maja feel cold all over.
How could lan be like this–aloof when cold–hearted, merciless when cruel, and gentle as spring rain when kind?

He sat by the bed, thought for a moment, then asked, “I’m getting a divorce. What about you?”
Maja’s eyelashes fluttered, finally responding to him,
“Mr. Raymond, I don’t understand what you mean.”
lan was amused by her reply. He took a deep breath.

you really understand what I mean?”
From the moment she woke up, go to the hospital, and then back home, her emotions had been on the brink of
collapse.
It was only now starting to settle, but due to two days of crying, her body was nearly dehydrated, and her lips were
cracked.
lan got up, brought a cup of water from outside, and held it to her mouth,
She leaned on his hand and took a few sips.
He said, “If you get a divorce too, then we can try being together”
Maja choked, her throat hurting. She pushed the cup away and coughed for a while, then moved fearfully to the
other side of the bed.
“Mr. Raymond, stop joking!
lan squinted his eyes, seeing no surprise or joy on her face.
At this moment, he deeply felt that when she told Tyler she hadn’t had any feelings for him, she meant it.
If she had any feelings for him, she wouldn’t have drugged him, and she wouldn’t have called Carlene to the box.
Her actions clearly told him she didn’t like him,
He reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear, but saw her dodge with fear in her eyes,
Maja’s reaction was instinctive, especially after knowing the man from the past two days was him. She began to
fear him.
His attitude was so cold and domineering, like a wild wolf.
