Chapter 926

“Wait, did Maja put a hex on you or something?”

lan fell silent, his clenched fists slowly loosening, a sign of his wavering strength.

Tyler waited for a bit, sensing that something wasn’t right on lan’s end.

Something had clearly upset him.

Yet he couldn’t bring himself to despise Maja.

“lan, I just don’t get it. Why on earth did you fall for her?”

“Because she’s the best. Happy now?”

The call abruptly ended. Tyler stared at his phone, both frustrated and amused.

The toughest thing in the world wasn’t a diamond, but lan’s stubbornness!

Tyler tossed his phone aside, ready to call the police station to get Darlene back behind bars. After all, falling out

with lan over her wasn’t worth it.

But before he could make the call, he remembered that lan only asked him to apologize to Maja and never

mentioned Darlene. Had lan handled Darlene

himself?

And what about the child in Darlene’s womb? Did he know the truth?

Tyler quickly hung up, deciding to personally visit Star Movie Group and express his apologies.

On the other side, lan lay on his bed after hanging up.

He couldn’t sleep. His head ached, and his chest hurt.

Every part of him was in pain, and he couldn’t tell which was worse.

He didn’t dare to move, fearing to aggravate his chest wound.

He wished time could forever freeze in that corridor.

They wouldn’t hurt each other with words, and they were just leaning on each other. Even life and death seemed

trivial at that moment. It was just them.

lan closed his eyes, grabbed his phone, and started typing quietly.

First, he typed, “I’m sorry.”

But when he was about to send it, he deleted it one by one.

Then he changed it to “Still mad? I was just joking.”

He deleted that as well.

In the end, he didn’t send anything.

In his hesitation, it was now late into the night. Unable to stay awake, he soon fell asleep. His phone slipped out of

his hand, accidentally sending the last thing he typed.

– My head hurts so bad.

When Maja saw the message, she had just finished talking to the vet.

It was six in the morning. The vet said Coco was lucky to have survived the last resuscitation. Coco needed to rest,

and her treatment would cost a fortune.

Maja finally relaxed upon knowing Coco was safe.

Seeing her dark circles, the vet advised, “Ms. Pennyfeather, you should rest. You can’t do much here. Coco is out of

danger now, and her treatment requires professional care. Seeing you might excite her, which isn’t good for her

recovery. You can visit her when she’s able to stand.”

Maja yawned, rubbing her tired eyes.

“Thanks, doc.”

Back in her car, she saw lan’s message, which was sent an hour ago.

Was he having a headache?

Is it the place where he was hit by the stone? Could it be inflamed?

Maja remember he was really angry when he left last night. Why would he text her? Is he delirious?

Maja was so nervous that her throat was dry. But she decided not to call him and dialed Jeff instead.

“Ms. Pennyfeather.”

Jeff always addressed her like that, reminding her of the times when lan didn’t know her true identity and their

tangled relationship.

“Jeff, lan just texted me that he has a headache. Where is he now?”

Jeff immediately became alert. “He didn’t seem in good spirits when he came back last night. He went to his room

to rest and didn’t want us to disturb him. He’s a clean freak, and he can’t stand sweating. So he went to shower

alone. He locked the door, so I don’t know his exact condition right now.”

Hearing this, Maja’s heart pounded faster. If he couldn’t even stand properly, how could he shower alone?
