By the time Rosario arrived, it was already twelve noon. She had made some pastina before rushing over.When she saw Madelyn still asleep, she did not wake her up.Kevin did not want to stay there any longer and left immediately after explaining the situation to Rosario.Just as he entered the elevator, he noticed people from the Arnold family in the hospital.'How strange. What's Ethan Arnold doing here? Could he be here for Madelyn?' he wondered.However, Kevin did not dwell on the matter any further. He pressed the button for the basement floor and left.Leyton trailed behind Ethan, holding a briefcase. They were walking in a hallway."Ms. Jent was stranded in the snowy mountains for two days. She's alright now."Ethan said, "In the future, report any matters regarding her to me as soon as possible.""Yes, sir."After Ethan found out Madelyn's ward number, he quietly went inside while Leyton waited outside.Rosario looked at the unexpected visitor and asked, "Who might yo

No one would willingly reveal their least appealing side to others, regardless of the circumstances. Madelyn was taken aback by Ethan's sudden arrival."I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat just yet," Madelyn expressed. However, before she could complete her sentence, the aroma of cilantro wafted in, and an ill-timed growl emanated from her stomach. Playfully, Rosario chimed in, "Madelyn seems concerned that her appearance might not be at its best and feels awkward about being seen.""What happened to her face? Wasn't she fine?" Ethan asked, intentionally feigning ignorance.Rosario teased Madelyn, "Your face has already healed. It looks perfectly fine."Madelyn gingerly touched her face and found it to be less painful than before. With this assurance, she revealed her face. Though still slightly swollen, it had considerably improved, and the red spots on her neck had faded as well.Besides that, Madelyn was already hungry."I'll eat on my own," Madelyn asserted."You still hav

From that day on, things got a bit tricky between Madelyn and Yvonne.At first, Yvonne had wanted to become friends with Madelyn so she could get closer to Zach. But now that she'd accomplished that, it was kind of obvious she didn't need to pretend to be close with Madelyn anymore. Madelyn also had her own reasons for becoming friends with Yvonne."Regarding the trouble Yvonne caused, I'll bring her here to apologize to you," Ethan assured.Madelyn glanced down and noticed his hand covering the back of hers. The warmth from his palm provided some comfort to the arm with the IV drip, easing its chill."It's partly my fault that Yvonne acted that way. She was aware of my feelings for you, but her impatience got the better of her... I'll also repay you for what Forrest owes you. And I won't come between your friendship with him either. The conflict between Forrest and me is more intricate than it appears. You're still young; I'll reveal the details gradually in the future," he implor

Around seven in the evening, Ethan walked out of the hospital. Leyton noticed the small grin on Ethan's face and thought, 'Maybe he had a nice talk with Ms. Jent. The medicine he takes isn't as good as the nice things she says. Well, that's alright. It might help him move on from his past.'Ethan got some painkillers from his pocket to take. It had been cold lately, and his leg often hurt."Tell George to set up a room. Decorate it just the way she likes!" He said.Leyton was surprised and asked, "Is Ms. Jent moving to the Arnold residence? How will we tell Mrs. Arnold Sr.?"Ethan replied, "I'll talk to her myself. Just drive. Let's head back to the office!""Yes, sir!" Leyton answered.It was definitely a good thing for Ethan to have Madelyn leave the Jent family. Zach, Madelyn's brother, had chosen not to save her when she faced assaulters, even though he witnessed it. This behavior became known to many people. How heartless can he be. In the end, Hayson had raised a snake. But

"Discharge?" Rosario and Jadie looked at George, feeling puzzled, while Zach remained calm.Zach's deep brooding gaze sent Madelyn shivers. She ignored it and did not utter a word.Jadie asked Madelyn, "What's happening?"However, George explained, "Mr. Arnold enjoys Ms. Jent's cooking and has invited her to temporarily stay with the Arnold residence to care for him. We had prior communication with Mr. Jent, and he agreed."With a worried tone, Rosario asked, "Care for him? Madelyn hasn't fully recovered from her illness yet. Besides, how could Mr. Jent agree to this?"Madelyn thought, 'Heh, why wouldn't Hayson agree? If it wasn't the Arnold family today, it would be another. He nurtured me as a tool for his purposes. Wasn't I just a bargaining chip?'The Arnold family, a magnate of Ventropolis, was the epitome of wealth and power. The Jent family paled in comparison.Hayson wasn't even fit to shine the Arnold family's shoes. Especially since Ethan personally requested this from

Ethan's grandparents liked to do botany in their free time, So, they made a big garden where they grew all sorts of flowers and plants. Right next to their huge house was an old maple tree that had been there for like 500 to 600 years – that's a super long time!The Arnold family had been in the business world for a long, long time, like a whole century. When a civil war happened, Ethan's grandparents became the leaders of the Ventropolis Chamber of Commerce. They stayed leaders for a really long time, and it was passed down through their family. The Arnolds were all about keeping old things going, like a rule that they all had to live together, unless something special happened.Ethan resided in a mansion distinct from the primary one, although it was situated in closest proximity to the primary mansion. Meanwhile, his grandparents chose to reside in a serene locale elsewhere on the estate.Madelyn had assumed Ethan would take her somewhere like the Southern Haven Villas. She wasn'

At this moment, Leyton stepped up and said, "Sir, we're running out of time."After placing the necklace on Madelyn, Ethan gazed at the moon-shaped pendant resting on her chest and grinned with joy. "Madelyn, I'm going to head back to the office for now. You relax at home, and I'll catch up with you later tonight.""Okay," said Madelyn and watched Ethan leave.George also hoped that Madelyn would stay. Ethan's illness hardly got better. The Arnold family tried their best, but they believed he wouldn't live for more than a few months. Fixing physical problems was easy, but healing emotional wounds needed time. Ethan was probably the only one who could help himself live a regular life.'Compared to Mr. Arnold's ex, I wish Madelyn stays by his side from now on!' George thought as he said, "Mr. Arnold has a room ready for you. Please follow me."Madelyn followed George and rode the elevator to the fifth floor. They stopped in front of an open room."Ms. Jent, this is your room. Mr. A

Madelyn thought, 'If an opportunity arose, I would have liked to pay Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Sr. a visit. 'After dinner, Madelyn returned to her room. She picked up her phone and checked it. Her last communication with Forrest was still from last week. 'I don't know if he's been studying diligently. Jadie got promoted to Class One through the final exam. I wonder what his grades are.'Madelyn sent a message to Forrest. [How did the exam go?]After waiting a few minutes without a reply, she decided not to wait any longer. The moment she put down her phone, the screen suddenly lit up. Madelyn thought it was a reply from Forrest. However, it was a news report about a young girl's tragic death when she checked it.[Today, there was an avalanche at the Enchanted Mountain. It trapped numerous skiing tourists on the mountain, resulting in multiple injuries and casualties. Thirty-two tourists were injured, eight died, and one is still missing. The police are still searching. The individual is
