Chapter 1122
Zach said, "Cecilia's goal is to sow discord, and you've done well on this matter."Blake thought, 'What? Is Mr. Jardin praising me?'She turned back to look and saw Zach had already walked far away. 'Did that really happen?'She could not believe that Zach could be so nice. Back when she was working under Kevin, she would get scolded three or four times a day. She was very happy that she was actually being praised today.Madelyn, seeing Zach returning so quickly after Blake just left not long ago, assumed that the two had met at the elevator door.Zach frowned when he noticed the box of strawberry cream cake in Madelyn's hands. He immediately took it from her. "Did you forget what the doctor said? You can't eat these things as you've just woken up."Madelyn responded, "I just had a little bite. Did you say anything to Blake when you met her just now?"Zach helped Madelyn lie down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He then checked the time on his watch. "You still have
Chapter 1123
Kai noticed Lana, who had started walking away, stopped, standing in front of him. He asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"Lana looked troubled as she shook her head, "It's nothing."Lana actually wanted to tell him that she always dreamed of someone, a person she felt very familiar with, and she would feel very sad every time. She had been dreaming about this man for a long time, and she did not know why this was happening to her.However, she had been keeping this matter to herself and decided not to tell Kai. She did not want him to worry.Lana thought it might be due to her impending labor, or maybe she was just overthinking things.A few days later, Madelyn went downstairs for a walk under the sun with bodyguards protecting her.She was recovering well, and she would be ready to leave the hospital in two days.Madelyn did not like staying in the hospital. She felt that recuperating at home or elsewhere, it was all the same.A bodyguard said, "Mrs. Jardin, Mr. J
Chapter 1124
Madelyn still went upstairs to find Kai in the office.He looked at the handwriting on the note and believed it looked like Yvonne's handwriting. 'Instead of focusing on recovering, she's using this to lure Madelyn over to her.'He squinted and pondered before saying, "Go and look for her. Who knows, maybe she really does have news to tell you. I'll take care of the bodyguards for you. You can use the emergency passage in my office. If Zach comes over, I'll text you. I'll give you only ten minutes. After ten...cough, cough...After ten minutes, if you haven't returned, I'll go look for you myself."Madelyn watched as Kai kept coughing. Ever since his recovery, his coughing problem had not improved. Madelyn did not ask him about it, as she believed since he was a doctor himself, he would be capable of taking care of such a minor issue.She left through the passage after she thanked him.Madelyn managed to smoothly arrive at Yvonne's ward. Yvonne was sitting on the bed. The nurse had

Madelyn said, "Yvonne... Zach said the plane crash had nothing to do with him, and I don't know if there are any hidden details. It doesn't make sense for you to hold this hatred against me.""Why should I hate him? He's my husband. I believe whatever he says. The person I hate is you. You took everything away from me," Yvonne said deliriously. She covered her chest and continued, "You don't know how much I love him. I can give him everything. But why did you have to come back? It's all because of you!"Yvonne suddenly grabbed Madelyn. Tears streamed down her face as she begged, "Madelyn, I beg you, please don't marry him. Can you give Zach back to me? Please give him back to me! I'll kneel before you and beg."Madelyn felt sorry for Yvonne, watching her, who had become insane for a man. Suddenly, she remembered her past life—how she, too, had behaved like Yvonne for Zach.Yvonne knelt on the ground, looking up, clutching Madelyn's hand. Madelyn had a sour feeling in her nose. She

Upon hearing footsteps outside the door, Madelyn panicked and hastily put away her phone. However, she failed to hold the phone firmly, and it fell to the ground.Outside the door, Zach had just finished talking to Kevin about some matters. As he entered the ward, he noticed the phone on the floor. He saw a route displayed on a map application on the phone screen. When Madelyn saw him, she pretended to be calm as she picked up the phone from the ground."What are you looking at?" Zach's tone was unfriendly. He walked over to her and took the phone from her hand. He then unlocked the phone and enlarged the route on the map.The marked location was nothing more than a village near the mountains. It did not even have a displayed name.Sensing the chilling aura emanating from Zach, Madelyn knew she could not show any signs of unease. Otherwise, he would feel that she was hiding something from him.Madelyn calmly turned around to pour a glass of water for herself. She was actually very

Zach thought, 'She's lying.'Suddenly, he turned over to shower her lips and neck with countless kisses, "Since you can't sleep, let's do something more meaningful.""No, Zach. I really need to use the bathroom. Besides, I still haven't recovered. We can't be intimate." Even though Madelyn said so, Zach did not let go of her. He insisted on going his way and had unbuttoned her pajamas unknowingly. The cold wind from outside seeped into the blanket. After struggling in vain, Madelyn gave up and allowed him to do as he pleased. The lack of lubrication made it rough, and she had to endure the pain.When it finally ended, it was already an hour later. Zach carried Madelyn, who was naked, to the bathroom. Seeing fresh blood, Zach immediately furrowed his brows, "Why didn't you say it hurt?"Madelyn sat on the icy bathroom sink and stopped his attempts to go any further with his hands, "Enough, stop looking. I want to take a shower. I feel uncomfortable all over."Zach squeezed some bod

Madelyn soon slept after hanging up the phone and cleaning the photos on the wall. Zach, always out and about from dawn till dusk, did not return until well past midnight.The car engine roared, and a blinding set of high beams flashed by. Downstairs, exhaustion filled Zach's eyes. He exited the car with his forehead rubbed and strolled to the third-floor master bedroom. The door latch clicked open.Madelyn was sound asleep until she felt the bed sagging. That slight disturbance woke her up a bit.Zach ditched his jacket and lay on the freshly changed sheets. He scooped Madelyn up, along with the blanket, into his arms. Smelling the flowery shower gel on her, it was like Zach had brushed away his mixed feelings.With a sleepy look, Madelyn opened her eyes halfway. She spoke softly, "What's that smell on you? Go take a shower.""Okay, I'll go in a while."Madelyn was too tired. Before long, she dozed off again. Zach adjusted the shoulder straps of her nightgown, which had slipped

Madelyn retorted, "No, you're overthinking. I just don't know what to draw."Margaret said, "Oh! Ms. Jent, I've been working for you for a long time. I can read you like a book. You're worried that Mr. Jardin is out there painting the town red, aren't you?"Snap!Madelyn suddenly exerted force in her hand, breaking the paintbrush in half, "Enough! Stop saying anything."Margaret was caught off guard when Madelyn, usually easygoing, suddenly blew up. However, she had seen through it ages ago as someone so experienced. No matter what happened in the past, any lingering resentment in Madelyn's heart would gradually dissolve with time. Though Margaret did not know what exactly happened to Madelyn, judging from her habits and subtle actions, she had long accepted Zach deep down.Though Dalton was not Zach and Madelyn's blood, anyone with a keen eye could see that Zach regarded him as his own, even though he gave Dalton the cold shoulder. On the other hand, despite Madelyn seeming kind
