Chapter 341
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

While it might have seemed to others that she had made the decision to be with Ethan, the truth of the matter was that it was actually Ethan who had made the choice to be with her.When Ethan first suggested they be together, Madelyn felt unsure; she was scared of repeating past mistakes and was torn between leaving and staying. However, he said he would give her the time she needed to do what she wanted and was willing to wait for her. His kindness and tenderness, and the way he protected her each time, were gradually breaking down the walls she had built around her heart.She had never felt loved before, but she felt it with Ethan. It seemed like no matter what mistakes she made, he would always be there to reassure her that everything was okay and then find a way to fix it. She felt that if this affection did not limit her freedom, it might be worth a try.George had told her that Ethan had someone he had loved before. However, that person had left Ethan after he had gotten into

If it was a materialistic sugar daddy relationship, it would have to be kept hidden. Yet, Madelyn was not only open about it, but now the newspapers were even reporting that Arnold Corporation and Azure Corporation had reached several major business deals. This meant that, having benefited from his daughter Madelyn's involvement, Hayson had fully gained the favor of the Arnold family. Naturally, in front of Madelyn, no one dared to say anything unless they wanted trouble.For some reason, Yvonne had not been to school for a long time, yet she still held a spot in the Math Olympiad training class.As the exam time approached, Madelyn passed the time by reading a novel in Etlinish. Her tutor had mentioned that reading could help increase her knowledge. She used to struggle to even begin a novel, but now she could understand most of it. It was lunchtime, and Madelyn was eating her prepared lunch when Jadie came over, carrying a book in her arms."How've you been lately, Madelyn? Last t

Adrian tried to count, but there were too many things to fit on one hand. He realized that Madelyn and Forrest had done so many things together.Madelyn looked at Adrian as if she understood something. "Isn't it normal for friends to do things like this, like eat together and go shopping? Didn't you and Jadie do the same things?"Madelyn did not know he was the one who had saved her at the fishing village back then. So, when Forrest had asked her to tutor him, she said no because of how Forrest treated her. For two years in high school, Forrest had been mean to her, and his bullying had caused her classmates in Class Six to isolate her. That was why she tended to be aloof and preferred to be alone, not really interacting with others.Her relationship with Forrest had improved from what it once was, and to outsiders, they seemed to get along well, but people forgot the terrible things Forrest had done to her over the past two years. When Forrest grabbed her by the neck and accused he

The girl walked by Madelyn and bumped into her at the doorway. Madelyn heard a loud noise and saw a chair on the floor. She walked over and picked it up. Adrian and Timothy both looked at her.Adrian thought, 'Why's she even here?'Madelyn looked at them and then at Forrest, who seemed really angry. She saw a trail of blood on the floor. She had seen him get mad before when she was in Class Six and thought he might have trouble with his emotions sometimes. Without another word, she put the notes on his desk. "Here are the notes Jadie gave me. Copy them and give them back to her. Then get your hand checked at the nurse's office," she said, then left the room.The two guys nearby did not dare to make a sound. They could tell Forrest was even angrier now, and saying anything might make him mad at them.Forrest picked up the pink notebook and looked inside. The writing was not Madelyn's. The first page had Jadie's name. He quickly tore the notebook in half and threw it into the trash c

Madelyn picked up some paperwork from the office and then went to the special class. It felt more like a boot camp than a regular class. It was supposed to end at 9 pm, but it often went on until 10:30 pm. An elderly man, probably in his late sixties, taught the class. He always had reading glasses perched on his nose. Every single session ended with a test that lasted for an hour and a half, and no student could leave until they had finished. If anyone answered carelessly, they had to copy the questions a hundred times. Even after finishing, students had to stay seated for the entire test time before they could leave.Madelyn covered her mouth as she yawned, unaware of the people crowding outside the door."Madelyn sure works hard," Leyton said outside the window. "She's busy from 7 am to 10 pm every day. Even after getting home, she has to do homework until midnight."Ethan peered through the window, a gentle smile in his dark eyes. "She's just doing what people her age should be
