Chapter 1551


    Maja couldn''t help but feel the encounter with the woman was too coincidental, and yet when they were


    both caught up in a foreignnd''s ck market, the woman showed no sign of panic.


    But what Maja chose to believe was the genuine emotion in the woman''s eyes when she spoke of


    finding her brother. That kind of feeling couldn''t be faked; perhaps she truly was here to look for


    someone.


    Later, as they entered the hotel together and caught sight of each other''s faces, the woman showed no


    surprise, confirming she didn''t recognize Maja.


    Maja sipped the broth from the bowl before her.


    "She must be here to find someone," she mused.


    Ian reached out, affectionately ruffling her hair. He knew Maja well; she appeared aloof but was tender-


    hearted and struggled to be harsh to anyone. Her strong sense of responsibility was both a blessing


    and a curse.

    Anyway, he wouldn''t force her to change.


    After finishing her soup, Maja brushed her teeth.


    When she emerged from the bathroom, Ian set aside hisptop and began to dry her hair, a moment of


    intimacy they hadn''t shared in a long time. Maja leaned against his chest, the warm air lulling her


    towards sleep.


    Ian''s fingers weaved through her hair, and seeing her exhaustion, he gently massaged her scalp until


    she drifted off. He tucked her in carefully before the phone rang.


    "Sir, do we need toe to your hotel?" his man on the other end asked.


    "Yeah,e over. I''ll go downstairs to book rooms for you guys. There''s a whole crowding soon."


    "Got it."


    Ian reserved the rest of the vacant rooms on their floor and elsewhere in the hotel. After making sure


    his people would have ces to stay, he called the underground fight club, directing Nydia to send


    reinforcements.


    Nydia, worried upon hearing he was in Cania, a ce recently rife with chaos, said, "Isn''t it a bit messy


    over there?"


    "I''m giving you a number, Nydia. Contact Walter; he''ll know how to send folk over."


    With flights to Cania grounded, only someone like Walter, with his global connections, could secure air


    travel rights within hours. Ian could do the same, but it would take days, which he didn''t have. He


    wanted his people to fly over with Dn.


    The call was timely; Nydia immediately got in touch and dispatched her best fighters—fifty from the


    underground club, all top-notch.


    Ian brought them to safeguard Maja at the hotel. With her pregnant, there was no room for mishaps.


    Once everything was in ce, Ian showered andy down beside Maja.


    A dayter, Dn and Walter arrived in Cania.


    She faintly heard Ian''s voice mingling with others, followed by the sharp crack of gunfire not far from


    the hotel but not in the hallway. New chаpter av?ble on NovelDrama.Org


    Maja sprang up and peered out the window.


    It seemed the recent outbreak had ignited unrest among the locals.
