"Did something happen to Ethan?" Madelyn asked."I don't know, madam." the servant said.Madelyn knew she would not get any information from them. Then, Madelyn called Leyton. After a while, someone picked up the call, "Ms. Jent?""Are you guys working overtime?" Madelyn asked.Leyton stared at the person with an IV drip in the hospital room. He hesitated momentarily before answering, "Mr. Arnold is in a meeting and will be back later. You don't need to wait for him, Ms. Jent.""Since Ms. Jent still has classes tomorrow, it would be best to go to bed early," Leyton said. Leyton's tone was obviously weird. She also heard people crying from the other end, and it was pretty noisy there.At eleven o'clock at night, a servant advised Madelyn, " Ms. Jent, you shouldn't wait! It's normal for Mr. Arnold not to come back for a night. If you wait any longer, it won't be good for your health."Madelyn continued to sit cross-legged next to the sofa and worked on her exercises with a pen in

Madelyn still poured a bowl of fish stew for her. She placed a spoon for her and brought it to Evelyn, saying, "Here, it's fresh and hot. Do be careful."Evelyn commented, "It tastes quite nice."Madelyn then asked her," Are you lost? Do you remember where you live?"At the same time, the sound of a car came from the door. Madelyn heard the noise and went over to check. A Cayenne had been parked outside the gates. Ethan got out of the car looking sickly but saw that the lights in the living room were still on.'Has she not slept yet?' Ethan thought.At the next second, the doors opened, and he saw Madelyn dressed in a white nightgown. The moonlight shined on her skin, making it seem translucent. She walked over to him. The moment he saw her, an inexplicable feeling erupted from his chest. It was warm, and he had never felt it before.Ethan's hand caressed the hair by her ears as he asked, "Why are you still not asleep even though it's already this late?"Madelyn was stunned for

Ethan was dressed in a gray shirt with a vest and held a suit jacket. Pinching his brow, he walked down, looking like he had not rested well last night. He was surprised to see Madelyn sitting at the dining table and leisurely having breakfast. Usually, she would have already left at this time.Madelyn greeted the just-arrived Ethan, "Good morning!""Morning. Why haven't you left yet?" Ethan asked.Madelyn said casually, "I forgot to charge my phone and the alarm didn't go off, so I overslept. But it's okay, I've already taken leave for the class I missed. Do you want to have some breakfast? The oatmeal today is nice."Ethan raised his wrist and checked the time. "Alright," he responded as he hung his suit jacket on the back of a chair and sat down.After breakfast, Ethan drove Madelyn to school. She arrived just in time for the start of the next class. Ethan leaned over and helped Madelyn unfasten her seatbelt.Madelyn said, "Thanks, I'll go now.""Is the dismissal time the sam

Coincidentally, a group of boys who had just finished playing basketball outside were walking over. Forrest had a black sweatband on his forehead, carrying a basketball. His hair was still damp, chatting with a couple of buddies by his side.Seeing Madelyn stood by the bulletin board, those in the know were watching the drama unfold. Forrest tossed the basketball, and Adrian caught it effortlessly.Watching Forrest unhesitatingly leave his buddies behind and approach Madelyn, Adrian muttered, "What's so great about Madelyn? He doesn't go to bars anymore, and he even quit gaming. He's changed completely since last semester. I think Forrest's been possessed by someone else!"Timothy adjusted the glasses on his nose and smiled softly without saying anything. 'Forrest is just keeping up with Madelyn's pace. The person he loves is outstanding, so of course he has to do his best too. Madelyn is his guiding light, and Forrest is following her.'"Hey Madelyn, did you come to take a look be

"Head to SereneCare Hospital, then call Zach. You'll need a family member to sign off on the surgery.""Understood."When Madelyn got to the hospital, she had met with Kai. Before her operation, Kai had done a checkup on her and found out that her womb had been infected, which was why she was bleeding so heavily."How long did you wait to get this surgery? The infection has already spread."Lying on the surgery bed, Madelyn answered with a hint of sarcasm, "Well, I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if it wasn't for all of you, right?"Kai smirked. "He's already gone easy on you. If I had my way... that tiny drug wouldn't be enough." He glanced back at her, a mysterious smile on his face. "Get changed into the hospital gown and we can get started. Just remember, once your uterus is gone, you won't be able to have kids, ever."Madelyn forced a smile, tears filling her eyes and dampening her hair. "What choice do I have?"Madelyn looked like she could pass out any second.

The nurse carrying a tray full of used tools heard voices arguing from the medical waste room and quickly walked away, scared. There was a faint smell of blood. On the tray, there was a bloody lump of flesh, weirdly shaped, with clear signs that it was infected; it had already started to change color. This was the abnormal uterus that had been removed from Madelyn."At first, they said there was a chance she could get better, but that was just to make you feel better. Look at this thing; it's already been infected and looks nothing like it should. Leaving it inside Madelyn would only make her condition worse. If it hadn't been removed in time, she could've died," Kai said, as he casually threw the deformed uterus into the waste bin. "Not being able to have kids is not the end of the world. You can always adopt. There are lots of people who care about Madelyn. Is having kids really that important to you?"Kai looked into Zach's deep black eyes and sensed his vibe; he had never seen hi

Madelyn glanced at Ethan and quickly looked away, feeling guilty. She was not sure if it was because she had used him or kept secrets from him.Ethan said, "The doctors said it's just appendicitis, nothing serious. You'll be fine soon, okay? Just stay here in the hospital—"Interrupting him, Madelyn, looking down and leaning against the bed, stared at her hand on the blanket. Her hair was a mess, and she looked pale and tired. "It wasn't appendicitis; it was a hysterectomy."Ethan felt a wave of sadness wash over him.After saying that, Madelyn felt a bit better, but she still could not bring herself to look at him. "The appendicitis surgery was a lie that I told my dad. I don't want to lie to you.""Why?" Ethan asked.Madelyn took a deep breath, looked Ethan in the eyes, and said slowly, "If my dad knew I couldn't have kids, I probably wouldn't even get to finish high school, much less go to college. After high school, I might even be sold off, maybe to older guys who already ha

"The Arnold family has a private doctor who is as skilled as the doctors in our hospital. That patient personally requested to be discharged. Mr. Arnold personally wanted to take her home, so we couldn't do anything," the nurse said.Jadie fiddled with the sunflower bouquet in her hands. "Such a shame. I bought Madelyn's favorite flowers, and she's not here.""But I think that Mr. Arnold is quite nice. Madelyn must be very happy with him," the nurse added.Jadie noticed that Zach had no expression, but his eyes looked cold. Without saying anything, he turned and left.After Madelyn left, no one heard from her for two weeks. During that time, Ethan stayed with her, helping her get better until she could get out of bed.The sun shone through the big windows, lighting up the bed where Madelyn was lying in a light nightgown. Her arm, in the sunlight, looked soft and pale. From her hair all the way to her fingernails, every part of her looked perfect. Her slightly curly hair was braide
