"Okay. I'll go now."Margaret muttered to herself when she walked out, "What happened? She hasn’t looked well since last night, and she's so sick now. Oh my, I hope she didn't get herself into danger again."When she raised her head, she was frightened by someone who appeared out of nowhere, "Mr. Jardin, you came to see Ms. Jent? She's very sick. I'm going to get some hot-water bottles for her now.""What happened last night at the police station?" His tone was cold.Margaret nodded. She noticed his fierce attitude, so she did not dare to hide anything from him. She told him everything that happened last night.She said, "At eleven last night, Ms. Jent called. She asked me to pick her up without saying what happened. When I arrived, I saw that her hand was injured. When she got home, she was scolded by Mr. Jent and went upstairs to sleep. This morning, I was worried, so I came to see her, and she looked like this. I guessed she was probably frightened out of her mind."Zach, "Why

Madelyn woke up the next day from a nightmare. Her pajamas were soaked with sweat, and she felt extremely hot.Margaret brought a bowl of carrot ginger soup up, panting heavily. She was old, and it was not easy for her to climb five flights of stairs. She saw Madelyn, who had just woken up, sitting on the bed in a daze.Madelyn did not even notice Margaret had walked into the room. She only came back to her senses when she heard Margaret's voice."Ms. Jent, you've slept for a whole day. Drink this!"Madelyn's eyes were watery when she looked at Margaret, "Yesterday when the police came, what did they tell Dad?"Margaret responded, "I didn't understand much! But they said they'd definitely deal with that matter properly. And Mr. Jent won't let off the person who held a knife against you."Madelyn looked away. Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at her bandaged hand. She knew what would happen to Danny.She thought, 'Hayson will surely make Danny pay a thousandfold, and Danny

Madelyn would have preferred to stay in school, but the school holidays were going to start next week.On the ground floor of the Grand Court, Madelyn saw Rosario and Jadie waiting for her.When the car stopped, Rosario hurriedly went forward to open the rear passenger door.As soon as Madelyn got out of the car, Rosario grabbed Madelyn's injured hand.She fussed over her, "Let me see. You poor child, how did you get injured again?!""I'm fine. It isn't painful at all. It's just a small bruise. It'll heal in a few days."Jadie approached her and said, "Madelyn, your room is ready, but we'll be sharing a room. I don't know if you'll like how I decorated it..." She warmly held Madelyn's wrist."Okay," Madelyn emotionlessly responded. Growing up, she had always lived alone in a room. She had never shared a room with anyone.When they arrived at the apartment, Jadie told her the door lock code. Upon entering Jadie's room, Madelyn saw there was an extra bed.The bedding was all pin

Seeing them studying so diligently, Rosario did not disturb them.At six-thirty in the evening, Jadie finally put her pen down and closed her book. She said, "Madelyn, Is... Mr. Jent pressuring you? Your family is well-off. You don't really need to work this hard."Madelyn's thoughts were interrupted. She stopped writing, "It's got nothing to do with my father. I set high standards for myself and try to work harder."She did not want to stop studying, wanting to avoid becoming ignorant and resorting to buying her qualifications with money like in her past life. She aimed to be independent like Cecilia so she would be able to support herself even after leaving the Jent family."I see! That's true. It's very stressful to be in Class One. Just remember not to push yourself too hard. I'll go and eat now. Don't stay here too long doing homework."Madelyn nodded.Not long after Jadie left the room, Madelyn finished the remaining half of the workbook and went out.Most of the dishes th

Zach, "I'm fine.""Don't drink so much next time. You know your stomach isn't in the best condition."Rosario finished cooking the hangover soup and quickly brought it over."Jadie, quickly feed it to Mr. Jardin."Madelyn just ignored what was happening outside of her room. She put on her headphones and listened to the Etlinish words while memorizing them.It was nine-thirty at night before Jadie finally returned to her room, exhausted. She then looked at Madelyn's phone that was charging on the bedside table. It had been ringing for a while.She said to Madelyn, "Madelyn, your phone's ringing."Madelyn did not react."Madelyn?"Jadie then walked over and looked at the incoming caller number on the screen. It consisted of repeated digits eight. Her eyes became gloomier. She then unplugged the phone from the charger and handed it to Madelyn.Madelyn took off her headphones. Jadie said, "Your phone.""Thank you." Madelyn stared at the incoming call. Shortly after, the call dis

Forrest ignored her and sat down near the door with his legs crossed. He was holding his phone and chatting with someone.Madelyn then remembered what Alex had told her that day. Until now, she still found it hard to believe that he was the person who had risked his own life to save her.At that time, it had been raining heavily, with turbulent waves. She had fallen unconscious after jumping into the sea, and all she remembered was seeing a blurry face. She had thought that person was Zach...She had assumed that it was Zach who had saved her. because she was more useful to Zach alive. She had not even considered anyone else.After all, who would risk their life for someone unimportant to them?If she ended up dead, Zach would not be able to face Hayson.There were only four stops before arriving at the school. Soon, the bus was full of people, most of whom were white-collar workers rushing to work.Madelyn saw an old lady get onto the bus. All the seats were already occupied. S

Madelyn asked, "Why? Did he offend you too?"Yvonne responded, "He offended my whole family. You don't need to know the reason. Just remember what I said."Madelyn mumbled, "We'll see."Yvonne then changed the topic, "By the way, I almost forgot. How'd you meet my brother? He usually never talks to me, but he went out of his way to do so...to talk about you."Madelyn remained quiet.Yvonne nudged Madelyn and asked, "He even asked me to bring you out to have a meal with him when we're free. Come on, tell me, is there something going on between you and him?"Madelyn was nervous, "You misunderstood. We're just friends. There's nothing going on between us, you're overthinking it! My family doesn't allow me to be in a relationship at this age. They want me to focus on my studies."Yvonne smiled as she put her hand on Madelyn's shoulder, "Oh, come on! Do you know how popular my brother is in Ventropolis? So many women want to sleep with him. Everyone close to me wants to get close to

The library closed at ten every night.Madelyn arrived at the library at seven o'clock in the evening, and there were still a few people inside.She sat in her usual spot near the window and opened her workbook.Eventually, the lights in the library went off one by one. The librarian approached her and said, "Hey, the library's closing now."Madelyn was not surprised that Forrest did not come.Only after leaving the school did she remember that her home was under renovation. Her maids and driver were all not at home and the last bus had already left.So, Madelyn could only take a taxi back to the apartment.She only arrived at the apartment close to eleven at night.When she raised her head to look, the lights on the twelfth floor were all switched off. She thought all of them were probably sleeping.Madelyn then took the elevator. When she entered the door lock code, it showed it was incorrect. She tried three times, and it was still wrong.She thought, 'Why is it incorrect?
