Chapter 343
"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

"Why'd you come to the school?" Madelyn asked, catching her breath with her hand on her chest."George called me and told me you hadn't come home yet. I thought you might still be at school," Ethan said, giving a smile. "I was worried since it's late, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect the students here to be so enthusiastic."Madelyn and Ethan rode the elevator down to the first floor. Madelyn looked anxiously back at Leyton, still upstairs. "You're such a big shot, most people don't get to see you," she said. "You could've just given me a call.""I tried to call, but your phone was off," Ethan said."Oh!" Madelyn exclaimed, finally realizing. "I turned my phone off during the test. I'm sorry. You don't have to wait for me; you've got a lot of work to do.""How could I not worry when you're alone?" he asked.Madelyn's lips lifted into a smile. Nobody had ever been this kind to her."Leyton parked the car at the school entrance, so it's a bit of a walk," Ethan said. "Do

It had not killed her, but she had developed a high fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If the maid had not found her, Hayden might not even have called a doctor to look at her.After that, Madelyn had trouble breathing. She had to take a lot of yucky medicine every day. Too much medicine can be bad for you, especially if you are sick for a long time. So, Madelyn started to feel weaker and weaker.'Maybe I'm not alone after all. There really are people who care about me,' she thought.The next day, she slept in. 'If I keep missing morning classes, Ms. Hann will probably talk to me about it. I can't be late again tomorrow.'"Miss Jent, didn't Mr. Arnold come down with you?" a maid asked.Madelyn was taking some medicine sweetened with honey, so it was not too bitter. "Hasn't he gotten up yet?""No, I haven't seen him yet.""I'll go get him."Madelyn finished eating and headed upstairs. When she arrived at the room, she noticed the door was slightly open. She gave a gentle knock, an
