Chapter 1103


    In the midst of the mor, this question was deafening.


    Maja did not have the strength to speak, and she merely stared in the direction where Ian had


    disappeared.

    But there was no one there anymore.


    She lowered her eyshes, feeling a dampness on her face. Of course, it was only natural for him to


    despise her now.


    In his eyes, she had a hand in Grandpa Holden''s death, and she was the one who had thrown out the


    box containing a venomous snake.


    He had misunderstood her, and his unusual behavior towards Judith was because she had drugged


    him.


    It must be so, and it wasn''t that he wanted to abandon her.


    She had to go back, go back to his side.


    Grandpa Holden had just passed away and now was the time he needed someone by his side.


    Due to her resolute gaze, Patric could tell at first nce what she had chosen.


    He sneered, gripping her chin tightly.


    "I thought witnessing this scene would move you, but it seems you won''t stop until you hit a wall, Maja.


    How cheap can you be? He doesn''t even care about you anymore, yet you''re rushing towards him.


    Would your dead mother be proud of this? How shameful!"


    After Patric finished speaking, he dragged her away, leading her down a different alleyway.


    Not long after he left, Ian returned.


    He didn''t know why he had returned, but amidst the chaotic and filthy smells, he sensed a familiar


    scent.


    A familiarity that was etched deep into his soul.


    He navigated through the dance floor, beginning to search one by one.


    After about a dozen searches, Judith tugged at his clothes from behind.


    "Ian, what are you looking for?”


    Ian snapped back to reality as if waking from a dream.


    He had heard from Jeff that Maja was in this area, but Jeff didn''t ask if he wanted to find Maja, and Ian


    didn''t say anything.


    In his mind, he was the one being abandoned and deceived. If he went looking for her again, what


    would that make him?


    He had never stooped so low before.


    But seeing himself so stubbornly searching one by one, he found it amusing, yet his chest began to


    churn.


    He just couldn''t ept it.


    He couldn''t ept that everyone said he was inferior to Eric, and Maja felt the same way.


    He couldn''t ept that she had been in his bed, only to then climb into Eric''s.


    He couldn''t ept that Eric, his brother, would stab him in the back after disappearing for six years.


    The lights in front of him started to distort; he could hear Judith calling his name, but he didn''t respond.


    He just turned around and walked out.


    Perhaps at that moment, searching for people like a headless fly on the dance floor, dressed in a suit


    that didn''t fit the ce, was the most humiliating moment of his life.


    If Maja could be so cruel to deceive him, what else couldn''t he let go?


    He had to force himself to let go.


    When Ian walked outside, he was so bewildered that he almost tripped.


    Judith rushed forward to support him, her face filled with tenderness, but her eyes were filled with


    jealousy.


    He was trying to find Maja just now, wasn''t he? Damn it, what kind of love potion did that woman give


    him!


    "Ian, take it easy."


    Ian didn''t respond; just pushed her away and got in the car.


    Judith had no choice but to follow.


    He drove the car to the hospital.


    When they arrived, Judith wisely exited the car and told him, "I''ll go in first; take care of yourself."


    If she stuck to Ian now, it would only annoy him. It was better to show some restraint.


    Ian didn''t say anything and drove the car away.


    He didn''t know where to go, and eventually, the car stopped outside Solstice College.


    He cracked the window open, lit a cigarette, and watched the peopleing and going outside.


    After finishing his third cigarette, he went to find the person in charge here and dug up Maja''s old


    records.


    The records were veryprehensive, including every test paper she had ever written.


    After flipping through them for two hours, he finally found a line of poetry she had written on one of the


    exam papers.


    The light boat has passed a thousand mountains.


    Ianughed out loud.


    What a pair of lovers running in each other''s direction. He was the only one who was redundant.
