Chapter 697
Kai smiled meaningfully at Zach and said, "Came sooner than I thought."'What did I say? He'd eventually fall for her. He could not help himself from falling for her even after he got the DNA test report,' he thought.Zach and Yvonne simultaneously turned to Madelyn. Meanwhile, Madelyn's gaze remained on Kai until Yvonne went to her side and held her hand."Why'd you end up in the hospital all of a sudden? Are you sick?"Yvonne knew about Madelyn's condition.'She's saying this to hide my condition, but I won't rule out the possibility that she has other things in mind,' Madelyn thought.Madelyn looked away and ignored Kai's half-smile. He looked like he was anticipating some drama.She was curious, 'What in the world does Kai want to tell me? Why does he know my mother? Could he be the person who had left the flowers at her grave?'In their previous life, Madelyn did not know of Kai's relationship with her mother.'And... Didn't my mother die from excessive bleeding while giv

'Zach likes obedient women. We've just tied the knot, and our big celebration is the day after tomorrow. I don't want to mess things up between us,' Yvonne thought as she left.Zach and Madelyn were the only ones left in the room. Madelyn felt uneasy being alone with him.The room got awkwardly quiet, making the air feel heavy.Madelyn looked pale, and it wasn't just because she had had a fall.Zach's eyes felt like they were prying into her soul."Have you been talking to him all these years?" he asked, his voice cold."You should focus more on my new sister-in-law than on stuff like this. And you really shouldn't be inappropriate with me, your sister. People will talk, and it'll ruin my reputation."Zach frowned, "Do you have to talk to me this way?"Madelyn looked at him calmly. "Am I wrong? Nobody's more repulsive than you, Zach!"She continued, "I feel disgusted every time you touch me. There's no need for you to put on an act and worry about me. You know better than anyo

Yvonne said, "You don't need to worry about this. Zach won't harm Ethan. After all, Ethan is his brother-in-law."Listening to Yvonne's confident tone, Madelyn remained silent, hoping for a smooth and safe departure with Ethan. Despite this, she could not help feeling a bit uneasy.When Yvonne left, she went downstairs to get medicine for Madelyn.Madelyn didn't trust this hospital, so she threw away all the medicine. 'Who knows if it's safe?'Madelyn felt better and went upstairs to visit Ethan. She sat by his bedside, wet a cotton swab, and moistened his lips. Ethan looked lifeless, like he was gone. Madelyn sat there with him, not knowing how long, with so much to say."Today, the abbot said you will surely recover soon. You've been sleeping for so long. Can you please wake up? Ethan, it'll snow again in Ventropolis in a few months, and I saw the words behind the sculpture at school. It's my name."Madelyn's voice quivered a bit. "I've been talking to you these past few days,
Chapter 700
Zach's icy gaze fixed on Madelyn. "You slept in the hospital for a whole day and still haven't had enough sleep? Didn't you know to return if I didn't ask you to?"Madelyn had no idea what he was angry about. His questioning tone was like a parent scolding a child for coming home late.The age gap between Zach and Madelyn was not significant. He was about eight years older than her. Since childhood, he always liked to be in control of her, no matter what it was. Even when she came home from school an hour late, he would meticulously inquire about everything she had done.Madelyn had had a crush on Zach since she was a child. However, he rejected her every time she confessed her feelings to him. He said their relationship would only be that of siblings.At first, Zach had a hostile attitude toward Madelyn. However, he would not allow her to get close to other boys or engage in overly intimate interactions when the boys appeared around her.Madelyn had been hurt before and wanted to
Chapter 701
Madelyn had no idea what Zach was doing in the silent living room. 'Is it because he cares about what I just said? Is it repentance? Or regret for everything he had done to me?'Madelyn knew Zach well; he was never a kind person. He was decisive and ruthless, never regretting his decisions. Zach used Forrest to gain control of the Arnold Corporation. When Forrest was desperate and used her life as a threat, he did not care at all. In the end, Forrest chose to jump off the building. He inexplicably apologized to Madelyn before pushing her away and committing suicide.Madelyn cowered in fear on the ground. As her husband, he could have helped her stand up with a simple step forward, but he did not. His indifferent gaze even met hers before he left with Cecilia. Madelyn had experienced Zach's cruelty firsthand. Hence, now she had a second lifetime, she did not believe Zach would show any mercy to anyone.After washing up, Madelyn sat at the bedside and silently reading the book she got
Chapter 702
Zach continued to muse, 'The person I had called a fool hundreds of times... When did I start feeling this way? Is it regret? Am I regretful?'He was genuinely perplexed. He was even less clear about his feelings for Madelyn, though he did not want what belonged to him to leave. So, Zach sneaked into her room countless nights, desiring to possess her over and over again. He wanted Madelyn to become the Madelyn from before, the girl who only loved him. Even if it required every means at his disposal, he wanted to keep her by his side.'If it is love, I can try to love her. Even if she doesn't accept it now, she will someday. If she wants a child so badly, I can give her a child.'The following morning, as the first light of dawn broke, Madelyn unexpectedly heard a baby crying. She opened her eyes groggily and stared at the ceiling. After a few minutes, the distinct cry of a baby echoed once more. She looked to the side of the bed, but the pillow showed no signs of being slept on, 'Di
Chapter 703
No matter what, he was still a child. Madelyn could not just leave him crying incessantly like this, 'What is Zach thinking? It's too absurd to bring a baby home like this.'After reaching the nearest hospital, the baby was taken to the emergency room immediately. Kevin followed with two large bags of baby supplies.They waited outside the emergency room. After examination, the doctor said, "The child has a high fever and has been sick for quite a few days. His condition is serious, and he needs treatment at the hospital. Given his weak condition, it's uncertain whether he can pull through.""Okay, thank you."The baby was taken into the intensive care unit. For the first time, Madelyn felt Zach was acting particularly childish, 'What on earth was he thinking?'Kevin left to handle the hospital admission procedures, and Madelyn waited at the entrance. The baby needed someone to watch over him, so she could not leave. The child had a fever of 40 degrees; the doctor said whether he
Chapter 704
When Yvonne saw that scene, she finally realized that it was easy to know whether or not Zach loved someone; it depended on the extent of tolerance he showed to them.Even though Yvonne and Zach had already registered their marriage, she always felt anxious about losing him.Growing up, she always got everything... She was unwilling to allow anyone to take what belonged to her."Madelyn, what's wrong? Why are you so angry? What happened? Tell me," Yvonne said as she walked toward Madelyn. Only then was Madelyn able to break free from Zach's grip.When Madelyn left the apartment, she did not have time to change her clothes. She was wearing a nightgown with a scarf wrapped around her. It was past fall, and the weather outside was still a little cold.Madelyn and Yvonne appeared harmonious. They did not go against each other, nor did they treat each other as enemies. However, Madelyn was well aware that all of this was just superficial.Zach's skin was thick, but his face still had
