Chapter 1653


    Maja''s shoulders sagged instantly, a queasy feeling rising in her gut before she dashed to the restroom.


    Beck promptly summoned the chef.


    “Let''s rework her meal n. She''s been off beeftely. Let’s switch it to pork and chicken, and add some more warming


    ingredients to her soups."


    The chef quickly presented a menu. "Mr. Sanders, here are the fruits and vegetables Ms. Maja’s been eating, all air-freighted


    from the best farms, and the milk as well. Is there anything you''d like to add?"


    Beck thought for a moment about Maja''s preferences and crossed off a few vegetables.


    By now, Maja had returned from the restroom. "Beck, no need to be so cautious. | just felt a bit upset earlier, that''s all."


    Still, Beck wasn''t ready to let her out of his sight.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    “Don''t head back to Greenfield just yet. Stay at the Sanders family estate to recuperate. Meanwhile, I''ll have Tyler dig around


    back home for any news, to see what Carol''s angle is."


    After saying this, he nced at Tyler.


    Tyler immediately raised his hand as if he was taking an oath. "Absolutely, it''s on me. I’m the one who bbered, so I''ll take


    responsibility.”


    Maja''s gaze then fell on Fitch. "Is Zoey doing alright?"


    Fitch stiffened, a crease forming between his brows, "Yeah."


    Known for being a man of few words, he said nothing more and was about to leave when he heard Maja add,


    "Zoey was hurt because of Wendy’s doing. She had someone run her down. | haven''t bothered to bring it up online. The poor


    girl''s been through too much. Wendy didn''t just steal her puppy; that car ident nearly took Zoey''s life. Zoey''s always been a


    bit timid, ving away for her mom since she was little, never knowing any real warmth. When her mom showed up at the office,


    she cursed Zoey with the vilest words, and even demanded | fire her. She can''t stand to see Zoey doing well, to the point of


    wishing Zoey would be a mistress to her ex."


    "So if Zoey’s mom says anything to smear her, don’t believe it. Zoey’s the type to repay kindness with kindness, even if she''s


    betrayed. She''d just lick her wounds in silence. But don''t mistake her for weak; she always pulls through."


    "Fitch, but she might not always make it through. Maybe one day she won''t.n and | have been through so much, but the


    clearest lesson we''ve learned is that life is unpredictable."


    The weight of those words, ‘life is unpredictable,’ing from Maja was profound.


    If she hadn''t gotten entangled withn from the start, there wouldn''t be so manyplications.


    Ifn hadn’t chosen her, perhaps she would be settled down by now.


    It was hard to say who held back who, or who helped who seed.


    Because life is unpredictable,n was now gone.


    Fitch absorbed her words buttched onto the key issue— the ident?


    When did Zoey have an ident?


    He vaguely recalled her being injured but she thought it was her own doing, or her mother’s. She never expected it was Wendy.


    Fitch felt an itch in his throat and a sudden urge to smoke.


    He knew Maja wasn’t lying about this; there was no point to it.


    "Okay."


    He uttered the word before slowly walking away.


    This trip had been a whirlwind for


    him and Tyler; they hadn''t ev.

    rusting off again, not even having the


    chance to adjust to the time change.

    Upon arriving in Greenfield, he grabbed his coat and headed straight for the hospital.


    It was still midday in Greenfield, and the wind was bone-chilling.


    Before he even entered the room, he heard Mia''s voice.


    "Mom, what should | do? Everyone


    knows it now, and they''re allughing

    Sharon sat by the bedside, equally furious.


    That recording had indeed been sent out by Zoey herself. Sharon had found it on her phone.


    She couldn''t believe that Zoey''d managed to pull off such a spiteful act.
