Chapter 254
Maja didn’t wake up right away this time, she was actually hit with a sharp pain in her belly. Her whole
body was cold, and her vision blurred. She knew her period had come
She’d been super busy lately and had even slept in her wet clothes the whole night when she was in
Crystalbrook Valley, so this time she was in a world of pain. She hurt so much she felt like puking, but
she was in a hotel booked last minute, so she only had a change of clothes with her, nothing else.
She was as pale as a ghost, and with trembling fingers the dialed the hotel reception, hoping someone
could bring her what she needed.
It was 6 in the morning, the hotel service wasn’t too shabby, and they quickly brought her the tampons
she needed
Maja, dragging her weary body, opened the door. The waiter saw her pale face, even her lips
bloodless, and he asked out of concern
“Do you need some painkillers?”
Maja had had cramps before. She’d have medication on hand, but all her meds were at RosenGarden
Yes…
She clutched her belly, looking like she could faint any second.
*Give me two pills, please.”
The waiter turned and left to get the medication.
But this was a hotel, it was unlikely they’d have such meds. The waiter had no choice but to go to a
nearby drugstore and when he returned to the top floor, he ran into lan, who was on his way to the
office.
lan noticed the painkillers in his hand, a flicker of unease in his eyes, then he saw the waiter heading
towards Maja’s room, and the slowed his
steps.
Only when Jeff called him, “Mr. Raymond?” did he finally step into the elevator.
Back in her room, Maja, with trembling hands, took the two pills. The pain in her belly was intense, her
whole body was covered in sweat, and she was shivering from the cold.
She couldn’t go to the hospital today, so she called Carol and asked her to go to the hospital for her.
Carol heard her weak voice. “Maja, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Carol, could you go to the hospital and check on my dad for me? Cristina and others are
there, I just don’t feel right about it. Or could you send some of your bodyguards over? Once I’m better,
I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Carol got a bit pissed, “You just get some rest, okay? Stop worrying about things. You want to treat me
to a meal? Do you think I can’t afford food? I’ll send the bodyguards right away. Until you go to the
hospital, no one is allowed to visit your dad in the ICU, is that alright?”
Maja felt a warmth in her heart, her hand on her belly, “Alright.”
“Maja, your dad’s in serious condition, doesn’t lan know? Are you really planning on keeping this from
him?”
“Carol, I want to get some sleep.”
Carol didn’t say anything else after that.
Maja was soaked in sweat, like she’d just been fished out of water. She endured the pain and got up,
took a shower, cleaned herself up, then lay down on the bed. She didn’t dare to turn on the AC, even
wrapped herself up in a thin blanket.
And like that, she slept until evening.
8 p.m.
lan came back to the hotel again; as he was about to swipe his card to enter his room, he
subconsciously looked in Maja’s direction. His slender finger paused, but he didn’t say anything.
After his shower, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and had an overseas conference call.
After hanging up, the front desk called to ask if he needed anything. Since this room was lan’s private
room, there were people preparing meals for him every day. He came back late today, so someone
called to ask.
lan paused for a few seconds, then said, “Send the food to the other guest on this floor.”
In a short while, a waiter pushing a dining cart came to the top floor and pushed the cart to Maja’s door.
He knocked politely, but no one answered. After more than ten minutes, the front desk called lan again,
telling him no one answered the door
next door.
lan frowned, then called Maja.
The phone in the living room lit up, the display read – Mr. Raymond. But there was no sound, so the
person lying in the bedroom didn’t hear it.
lan got a spare room card from the lobby manager, and swiped open the door. The waiter cautiously
pushed the dining cart in, then left.
lan glanced at the living room, no one was there, but the phone was on the table, so she was in there.
He headed towards the bedroom.
