Chapter 518

Maja stayed in the hospital for three days, babying her hand like it was made of glass, scared to death that one wrong move would wreck it for good.

Carol was with her the whole time. It was clear as day that all Maja cared about now was whether her hand would get better. Even if someone mentioned lan in front of her, she wouldn’t bat an eye

On the third day, Phelps told Maja she could leave the hospital, but she had to take good care of her hand

lan tried to get in touch with Maja these past few days, but she didn’t bite.

Now lan has stopped reaching out to her too.

Not long after Maja was discharged, she got an invite from a villa owner she had worked with before, inviting her to a wine tasting party.

It was a small private party held in the villa she had once designed, hence the special invitation to her.

The host was Luis from Synthetech Industries, whom Maja met back in her college days.

Luis had even introduced her to Samuel before, and Maja had always been on good terms with him.
