Chapter 105
Zach had not expected Madelyn to jump into the sea without any hesitation.Evidently, Madelyn was a completely different person now than how he remembered her. He wondered what had caused that.'Did she discover something?'He had noticed something was off ever since she had retaliated against the Linney family.He pondered, 'If she's like this, I can't keep her by my side, let alone give her the chance to get close to the Arnold family.'Jadie watched Zach left with the documents. She realized he did not ask her about what happened to her in Portsmouth Fishing Village and felt that Zach did not care about her at all.When Jadie saw the pile of photos on Zach's desk in the study, she finally realized that when Madelyn had first run away from the Jent family, Zach had sent someone to keep a close watch on her the whole time, instead of just ignoring her.She thought, 'If Madelyn hadn't gotten into trouble, Zach probably wouldn't have gone to Portsmouth Fishing Village personally
Chapter 106
Zach's gaze was terrifying.Madelyn sat on the bed and lowered her head to avoid eye contact with him.She weakly said, "I've been too spoiled and sheltered growing up, so I wanted to see the outside world. Zach, I'm sorry... I won't run away and throw tantrums anymore."She knew it would be unwise to argue with Zach now.He was twenty-six years old, and Hayson was planning to retire early, so once Hayson handed Zach the keys to the company in the future and Zach took over full control of the company like he had in her previous life, Madelyn would no longer be able to escape from him.In short, she was no match for Zach. Madelyn thought, 'I should've realized earlier that it's impossible for me to escape from the Jent family, I should just resign to fate. As long as I don't get married to Zach, that tragedy from my past life won't happen again.'She continued, "I'm fine with Dad wanting me to get married as soon as I graduate from university. But Zach... can you persuade Dad to l

The next day, instead of returning to normal, Madelyn's body temperature rose even higher. Her brow trickled with sweat, and her eyes were wet with tears.She was so sick that she started hallucinating and rambling incoherently. If a nurse had not noticed it, she might have gone delirious from the fever.The caregiver that Kevin had hired only arrived in the afternoon. Rosario was used to taking care of Madelyn and brought fresh clothes for her early in the morning. She wiped away her own tears upon seeing Madelyn suffer.She thought, 'I shouldn't have let her stay at that kind of place. She's never experienced any hardships growing up.' Rosario deeply regretted it.After Madelyn received a painkiller injection, her body temperature returned to normal, but she still showed no signs of waking up.Rosario had to go back and could not just stay in the hospital to take care of Madelyn round the clock, so she told the caregiver what she should be mindful about when taking care of Madel
Chapter 108
In her past life, when Madelyn had heard this news, it had dealt a heavy blow to her. She had been unable to conceive due to her uterine deformity. She had long hoped for a child with Zach, as she thought it would stop Zach from fooling around with other women.After a long wait, they had finally gotten the chance to welcome their baby into the world. However, Zach forced her into having an abortion.Before that, she had gotten into an accident and had spent over half a month in hospital. After recovering, she had gotten a full-body checkup, and her medical report had been sent to Zach.She recalled, 'Why did Zach lie and tell me that my condition was fine? If he hadn't hidden my condition from me and had let me seek medical treatment earlier, maybe our child wouldn't have died back then!'Thinking of Zach's true intentions, Madelyn felt a chill go down her spine.'Zach didn't just marry Cecilia because of his so-called "need for an heir". Zach just wanted to... How foolish of me,
Chapter 109
Madelyn was devastated and felt like she would be better off dead. In her past life, she had been too naive to understand Zach's true intentions. Now, whenever she dwelled on his actions, all she would feel was heartbreak.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not make a sound or cry. Madelyn wiped her tears away. "I'm fine. There was a bug in my eye."The nurse stared at Madelyn as if she had grown a third eye. The hospital was sterile, and there was no way there could be any bugs in the hospital.The nurse wondered, 'Has this patient gone insane?'However, the nurse did not press any further. Noticing that the IV drip was already half-empty, she adjusted the infusion speed and slowed it down. After leaving the room, she informed Madelyn's attending doctor about her mental condition.Crown Villa Club was established in the early 1980s. It used to be a cabaret from the Republican era, yet it was now transformed into a club while maintaining its vintage style.In a private room

"You're the one who asked for the drugs. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, why are you still feigning concern? Isn't Madelyn just a pawn in your grand plan? You wanted to break her down and watch Hayson send her to hell, didn't you? If you want to have fun with her first, I could let you...If you want to, we could both do her together. All these years, I've never seen you touch a woman, so I'm suspicious of your abilities!" Kai sneered.Zach narrowed his eyes. "Say one more word, and I'll gladly make you mute."Kai's smirked, then burst into laughter. "What are you getting so agitated about? How interesting. I haven't seen you like this in so many years, Zach."Zach kept quiet.Thinking about Madelyn, Zach felt things were slowly getting out of his control. Deep down, there was a void in his soul, and he did not know how to fill it."It's been ten years. Do you really have zero feelings for her? Why don't we make a bet on your feelings for Madelyn? If I win, I get ten percen

Jasmine nodded, "Uh-huh."Hayson caressed her smooth legs, lost in thought, "Leave Zach be! Most of the company is in his hands already, so it's fine for me to come out and relax. Why the sudden concern about him, anyway? What are you scheming?"Hayson was of a suspicious nature. In order to calm him, Jasmine pouted, "I was just telling you that he's here! Just in case you try to blame me for not telling you. Ugh, you're always suspecting everything..."Hayson relaxed a little and kissed her on the neck, hugging her. "Alright, don't get upset. I'll bring you shopping tomorrow. You can buy whatever you want,""Oh my, what are the two of them whispering about? What can't we listen to?""What else could it be? Definitely some pillow talk.""Hey, girl. Buy some supplements for the old man sometime."This well-intentioned comment was usually said as a joke, but Hayson understood the implied meaning.The wound on Madelyn's abdomen had already scabbed over, though it itched from time
Chapter 112
Madelyn put down her book and walked over to the meal. The bodyguard laid the three-layered thermos container on the table. The first layer had the walnut cake, while the second layer had a few pieces of carne frita. The third layer was a nutritious vegetable porridge.Flashbacks came to Madelyn's mind of her first meeting with Ethan. After that night when Madelyn had first found out about her health condition, she had often spent her nights alone in a small pavilion downstairs in the hospital crying.One night, Madelyn was at her usual spot, and Ethan came over. Sounding both amused and somewhat helpless, he asked her, "Why do I always see you crying?"Madelyn was glistening with tears. After the teardrops left her eyes, she saw the concern in Ethan's eyes. Ethan brushed her tears away gently. He was the gentlest person Madelyn had ever met, even though he was just a stranger.Madelyn had never thought a stranger could bring her such warmth. Since then, Ethan would visit her from
