Chapter 1089
On the other side of town, Maja had fallen into a restless sleep the previous night and didn’t wake until noon.
She looked upwards at the azure sky, and the sun was at its zenith. Holden’s funeral must have concluded by now,
she thought.
And what about lan?
Was he really hiding somewhere, like Patric suggested?
Her eyes stung with unshed tears. She should have been by his side at this moment
The door to her room swung open abruptly as Patric walked in Seeing the redness around her eyes, he chuckled
“Worried about lan, are you?”
Maja’s face fell instantly in Patric’s presence, she was like a fortress, unwilling to let any of her emotions show.
Patric noticed this, and his gaze hardened
“Don’t want to talk to me, huh? Too bad You’re stuck with me for the foreseeable future”
He tossed a cup of instant noodles onto the table, his voice icy
“Eat up. We’re leaving soon”
Maja remained silent Her eating habits had been erratic these past few days.

break her.
Maja lowered her head and finished the noodles. A sharp pain in her stomach followed, causing her to rush to the
bathroom to throw up
Patric stood outside arms crossed, watching her retch
“Are you pregnant? Is it mine or lans?”
His words made Maja feel even sicker. After she stopped throwing up, she rinsed her mouth and held her stomach.
Patric misinterpreting her symptoms for morning sickness, continued to taunt her
Do you want me to take you to the hospital to check how far along you are? Maybe it was from when we were
together After all, I didn’t use protection | just don’t know if you took any contraceptives afterward”
Maja paled She had indeed forgotten to take any birth control
She was so flustered at the time and focused on hiding the truth from lan that she overlooked the most important
thing.
Had she gotten her period since then?
She didn’t think so
She held her stomach, feeling lost
Patric had no time to waste with her, so he grabbed her wrist
Let’s go The private jet leaves tonight”
Maja stumbled at his tug, nearly falling down the stairs.
Patric didnt show any sympathy He was the polar opposite of lan, never showing any concern for others
They reached the bottom of the stairs, and Paric moved to leave, but he felt a sudden weight on his arm
Turning around he saw Maja had fainted
He quickly steadied her calling out, “Maja?”
She was deathly pale, her eyes closed
Patric took a quick breath, checking if she was still breathing
She was but he couldn’t take her to the hospital for fear lan would track them down
He laid Maja on the couch and called in a trusted doctor
“She has gastritis She needs to take medication and rest at home Her diet needs to be light and regular Otherwise,
her condition could worsen,
doctor advised
Patric thought about how he had been treating her recently and frowned
Why hadn’t she said anything about her gastritis?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis flight was due in a few hours How could he take her in this state?
“Can you give her a sedative? I need to get on a plane.”
The doctor looked surprised. “Sir, her gastritis is quite severe if something happens on the plane, it wouldn’t be as
easy to get help
Patric’s patience was wearing thin He shook Maja, trying to wake her up
He suspected she was faking it just to stay in Greenfield
But her face was so pale, devoid of any color
After a few shakes, a sharp pain shot through his head

The doctor was still standing nearby, feeling uneasy as Patric’s demeanor changed abruptly.
Thank you, doctor Leave the medication here, and I’ll make sure she takes it.”
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and reiterated his advice
“Please be careful. It would be very difficult to deal with if this develops into stomach cancer.”
Patric nodded, reaching out to touch Maja’s hand, but pulled back at the last moment
