Adrian said to Madelyn, "What you saw between Forrest and Kayla that day, nothing actually happened. He just had a high fever and took a cold shower. You happened to stumble upon it and got the wrong idea."

Timothy chimed in, "Exactly. After you kicked him out in the middle of the night, he called us. We even took him to the hospital in the early hours."

Madelyn hadn't known about this, but she remained surprisingly calm upon hearing the explanation.

Kayla clenched her fists and vented her frustration, "Yes! It's true that we didn't have sex. But so what? As long as he doesn't break up with me, we're still a couple."

Then, addressing Madelyn, she said, "Madelyn Jent, don't be too smug. Your time with Ethan won't last." After saying this, she stormed off in a huff.

Adrian was a little surprised when he saw Madelyn being so calm, "You don't seem to be angry at all!"

Madelyn looked at him in the eyes, "Why should I be angry?"

Adrian smiled faintly and did not answer.
