Chapter 23

My husband often works late he’s too busy and I don’t want to burden him,” Maja explained, pressing

her hand against her temple to relieve the blumness in her vision. She held onto the nearby railing to

prevent any further misunderstandings and gestured towards Ian 1m fine. Mi Raymond’s car is over

there I send you off

lan gave her a slight glance, considering the previous night’s events It could have been life threatening

if she had fainted in the bathroom However she was still thinking about her husband Hewasn’t sure if

she was naive or deeply in love with her spouse. A linge of quil washed over him, and he suggested,

take you to the hospital first”

Maja gripped the railing and descended the steps, almost losing her balance fan quickly reached out

and pulled her back “Max”

Maahad reached her limit. She had managed to stay strong in the restaurant but now under the

sunlight the dizziness intensified She knew lan was eating het but her throat felt constricted, and she

couldn’t speak

Jan felt the heat radiating from her body emoten lava She had somehow held on until now He reached

out and touched her forhead, but as soon as his fingers made contact he was taken aback and quickly

withdrew his hand as if shocked.

They had a long standing working relationship, and he couldn’t leave her in this state He fumowed his

brow and bent down, ifing her up

As he walked toward the intersection, ac pulled up in front of him, and Maxwell’s face appeared at the

rolled down window Unaware that Maja had taken the job, Maxwell had noticed lan from a distance and

wanted to greet him to make an impression. However his eyes narrowed when he saw lan carrying

someone

Lan also recognized Maxwell as the man in the elevator with Mas before He had assumed they had a

special relationship at the time But if not, then who was the person who had slapped Maja afterwards?

Maxwel humedly got out of the car and reached out to take Maja lan narrowed his eyes. Who are you?”

Maxwell didn’t expect lan to remember the high school experience, so he introduced himself anxiously.

“Im her boss at the studio.”

Tan averted his gate “So you were the one who slapped Maja that day?”

He turned around and placed Maja in the back seat of his car “She has a fever I’m taking her to the

hospital

Concemed about Maa’s well being Maxwell asked, “Can I come with you? Maybe you forgot, but we

were high school classmates…”

tan didn’t like letting strangers nde in his car, but Maxwell’s mention of their high school connection

triggered a vague memory.

Seeing lan’s nod Maxwell hesitated but dared not take the driver’s seat. He walked to the passenger

side.

The car joumey was silent, with only the faint sound of the engine. Soon, Maja’s weak body slid down,

and her breaths wammed the fabric of lan’s suit. fan’s entire body stiffened, and he looked at the

person driving. Uhaw are of their subtle movements. Maxwell honked the hom. “The nearest hospital is

the central hospital. She’s been there frequently.”

Ts she not feeling well?”

No, her sister has been hospitalized there.”

Maxwell didn’t expect lan to continue asking, so he subconsciously replied.

lan supported Maja womed that she might hit her head on the window, and furrowed his bow in

contemplation before placing his hand over her head..

Maxwell saw his gesture through the rearview mirror and was surprised. He had thought lan was

difficult to approach, but now he seemed considerate

Maxwell drove quickly and arrived at the hospital in just fifteen minutes.

Initially planning to accompany Maja inside, Maxwell changed his mind when he saw her with her eyes

closed, leaning against lan’s shoulder Heworried that Maja might have offended lan somehow, as

everyone knew that lan didn’t have a fondness for women. But Ian’s expression remained indifferent,

seemingly unaffected. Maxwell relinquished his seat.

He quickly supported Maja sincerely saying. T’ll take her to the hospital now. When she wakes up, I’ll

have her thank you in person

Tan leaned against the car and looked at Maja a few mare times. His tone was flat. Given the situation,

shouldn’t we notify her husband?”
