Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1411

Beck froze, but then quickly followed.

"Hey, Ian, what's going on?"

Ian ignored him as he boarded not a car, but a helicopter.

Beck tried to climb aboard too, nearly getting kicked off in the process.

"Damn it, Ian! Why do you always do this? At least tell me what's up. Plus, I came to see you about something important. You don't have to be so cold, man!"

After saying his piece, Beck, still determined, boarded the helicopter.

Ian's voice was icy, his gaze fixed ahead as if staring at some inanimate object.

"You better pray Maja's okay, or Dylan's as good as dead."

Beck's heart skipped a beat; the videos came to mind. Had his brother gone after Maja for revenge?

He immediately tried calling Dylan, but got no response.

Beck was on edge and decided to call Arlene.

Arlene picked up.

"Mom, what's Dylan up to?"

"Your brother took Maja. That woman needed to learn her lesson for crossing Judith. She can't just get away with that!"

Beck was fuming. Why couldn't they see reason?

He wanted to say more, but the helicopter was taking off.

"Yeah, all dead. I thought the truth was buried, but then I found this mental asylum. It was relocated ten years ago to a remote village, run by a few local ladies on a shoestring budget. There are only a handful of patients, one of whom is a former hospital employee. He's been acting crazy ever since he got lucky and escaped death. Playing the madman has been his survival strategy."

"So, is the Sanders’ daughter Jolin?"

"No."

Fitch was certain, his finger tracing an address.

If Maja had been there, she would have recognized it—it was where she once lived in Crystalbrook Valley, albeit briefly.

"Ian, Jolin and Maja’s backgrounds are similar, but since Maja’s been with you, it’s easier to overlook certain clues. I've found a few key points here. First, Maja’s supposed foster mother, Lillian, is a dead ringer for Arlene. Second, Maja was also born in that hospital. And according to this madman's testimony, two children were indeed switched that year. The mastermind's identity is well hidden. Only the coerced hospital director knew and had to comply. The entire department had no choice. He also mentioned that the switched child lived in this particular area, which was Lillian’s home."

At that moment, everything clicked for Ian.
