Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 119

119 Finding her path

Maverick’s phone rang as he was about to get down to business even when Jeslyn was pushing him away. He stared at her red and swollen lips before getting up to pick up the call. After listening to the other party for a while, he hummed before going out, not forgetting to give Jeslyn one last look. Jeslyn breathed a sigh of relief and sat up. Her hair looked messy from struggling and her chest heaved up and down in quick successions. “Why is he calling me Rossa? He thinks I’m Rossa? This will be harder than I thought… Maverick, you’ve gone crazy!” She cried out and brushed her hair out of her face.

Maverick entered one of the rooms he prohibited Jeslyn from entering. The room was a laboratory with weird and familiar hospital equipment. On one of the beds was Valen and on the other was Vera.

Vera had some brain testing equipment fixed on her head while Matt took her blood sample for testing.

Maverick took the lab coat he was offered by Rex and walked to stand beside Valen’s bed.

“How is it?” He asked.

“Vera’s brain report shows that her brain was tampered with.” Matt explained.

“Can it be fixed?”

“Yes, but it will take about 3 to 5 years or probably forever, but if her mind is stimulated with enough memories of her past, especially those activities she loved doing, the process will be quicker and that will be greatly appreciated.”

“What about Valen?”

“The research is in its final stage. Once it’s successful and doesn’t fail like the rest, we will immediately carry out the operation. Meanwhile, he has to remain in bed until that time.”

Maverick frowned and Rex asked. “Has he drifted into a coma?”

“I’m afraid, Yes.”

“Why? Was it because of the activities he did?” Rex asked worriedly. Hope Jeslyn won’t get into trouble?

“Partially. You shouldn’t have taken him out of the Country. The temperature is different, the water is different, the food, air and everything is different. He inhaled too many bacterials due to the

“For how long will he be like this?” Rex asked. His brother was just staring at his son. Rex wasn’t even sure if Maverick heard what was being said.
