Chapter 1249


    At five in the morning, Maja was still quietly sitting on the couch.


    She couldn''t feel the passage of time, only the chill.


    The chill was not from the environment, but from her heart, gradually creeping into her limbs, making


    her feel as if she was about to freeze.


    Her ears were also throbbing with pain, and in the silence of the early morning, she finally heard a


    voiceing from the tiny earpiece.


    "Regretting it yet?"


    Those words made her body tense up.


    Almost instinctively, she looked around, but she quickly realized.


    "What do you want? I agreed. I agreed to everything."


    Hours had passed, and she knew the man was waiting for her to break, topromise.


    Her head ached. Her heart had been racing all night, and at some point, she even felt like she was


    going to die.


    "Maja, I told you my patience is limited. No more games likest night or there won''t be a next time."


    Maja remained silent, her eyes welling up with tears.


    She thought the man would share his ns next, but he simply left her with that sentence and


    disappeared.


    She called out a few times, but there was no response.


    Until she heard noise from the stairs, it was Patric waking up.


    He had the maid help her to the bathroom to freshen up and then had breakfast prepared for her.


    She still had two hours until her meeting with Ian.


    Patric was in no rush, seemingly enjoying watching Maja being led over.


    Her eyes were indeed blind now. Those once beautiful eyes, full of life, were now empty.


    It was a shame.


    But it was for the best. It would prevent her from thinking about escaping.


    Patric watched as she slowly ate the food in her bowl, a bit surprised. He had thought she would


    continue to make a fuss this morning, but she was particrly well-behaved at the moment.


    After finishing her meal, Maja was forced to change her clothes.


    Patric noticed the red mark on her earlobe. She didn''t used to wear earrings. Was it a new piercing?


    He didn''t ask, just nced at the time and escorted her to the car.


    Maja sat in the backseat, feeling the car slowly starting, her heart pounding.


    After a while, she suddenly turned to Patric.


    "Can I have a hat?"


    Patric raised an eyebrow, but didn''t refuse her request.


    He fetched a hat and ced it on her head, effectively hiding her eyes.


    "I don''t want Ian to know about my eyes."


    Patric scoffed, crossing his arms in front of his chest.


    "You are blind, and he is about to be amoner. You two are a perfect match, still considering


    each other even at this time. But have you ever thought about when Ian finds out your eyes are blind,


    he might immediately desert you for another woman. He probably won''t like a blind woman. It''s like


    bringing in a burden."


    Maja didn''t respond, only reached out to open a crack in the car window, letting the breeze from


    outside in.


    Patric frowned, feeling a bit ufortable. It was Eric''s emotions affecting him.


    He felt sorry for Eric, such an outstanding individual, who ended up being experimented on like


    livestock in the research base. Enduring all sorts of humiliation, finally escaping, only to find out he was


    the only sessful test subject, but someone else had taken control of his body.


    Eric liked Maja, but Maja liked his brother.


    Patric, being so heartless, found himself feeling some sympathy for him.


    He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the needle marks and small scars.


    These scars were from being pricked too many times, the area had swelled and had to be surgically


    removed, leaving scars.

    He slowly rolled down his suit sleeves, turning to look outside.


    When the car stopped, Maja suddenly grabbed his hand.


    "Eric, I can''t see. Can you carry me up?"


    Patric was a bit surprised. Why had she suddenly be so obedient?


    He didn''t refuse, bending down to pick her up, stepping into the private elevator.


    Maja had lost a lot of weight, and when she nestled in his arms, she seemed rather petite.


    When Patric emerged from the top-floor elevator, many people turned to look.


    Because at five in the morning, Ian was already in the office waiting, sitting quietly in the small


    conference room.


    The walls of the conference room were made of ss, everyone could see him waiting quietly inside.


    Ian was still their CEO, and this was his first time appearing at the Raymond Corporation in recent


    times.


    Now Eric was here, carrying a woman in his arms, but the woman was wearing a hat, no one knew who


    she was.


    Patric carried Maja into the small conference room.


    The conference room was about 200 square feet, and Ian was sitting on the far side.
