Chapter 593

Maja felt totally wiped out. She swapped her shoes at the entrance and decided to head to her room.

Her eyes were still puffy, and her gait was a little off.

lan watched her, stood up, and said, “Penny.”

Too exhausted to chat, Maja walked into her room and flopped onto her bed.

lan followed her in but just leaned against the door, watching her lying motionless.

He approached her, hesitated for a minute, then slowly reached out to gently pat her head.

Her hair was still short, now all tousled, and her hand was clenching the bed sheet beneath her.

He had no regrets about treating her this way. If anyone else had nearly killed him, he wouldn’t even give them a chance to explain. That person would just quietly vanish from the world.

But all he did was torment her in bed for two days.

He sat by the bed, gently patting her back.

Maja’s tears were still falling silently as she heard him say, “The medicine you gave me that day caused a severe allergic reaction. I was in critical care all night.”

She froze as if under a spell.

“I’m sorry…”

She didn’t know he was allergic to the medication.

Hearing her apology, the last bit of resentment in lan’s heart vanished.

“If anyone else did this to me, I would stop at nothing to get back at her.”

Maja didn’t say anything. She just felt him slowly moving closer, whispering in her ear
