Chapter 76
Madelyn knelt on the cold white ceramic title as the floor glimmered. Her gaze lowered, fixating on the reflection staring back at her. She gently stroked her hand over the scratching scar on her face, feeling a tingling sting.The study was awash with the smell of sandalwood and her nose felt a little uncomfortable.At this moment, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and she immediately knelt straight up and clutched her clothes tightly. She knew what was coming for her next.Soon, the door was opened as Hayson walked in with Zach and Jadie following behind."Do you know what you've done wrong today?" Hayson asked.Madelyn lowered her head as Zach's silhouette enveloped her by the corner of the gaze. The atmosphere in the study was oppressive and made her breathless.She said meekly. "I shouldn't quarrel with my classmates."Hayson took the cane down from the wall and walked toward Madelyn as he faced the cane toward her.Madelyn was trembling in fear and as she heard

Madelyn walked out of the study and Rosario, who was waiting outside, immediately walked over when she saw someone come out of the room. "Madelyn... How are you holding up?"Madelyn's face was rather pale. "I... I'm fine. Don't worry about me, Rosario. Do you still have any painkillers?" Her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and as the last words left her mouth, Madelyn fainted altogether.Jasmine, who was hiding in a corner, saw this scene, and when she saw Madelyn faint, she did not step forward but instead turned and went downstairs.She saw the wounds on Madelyn's back. 'Isn't she his own daughter? Why did he beat her like that?'By the time Madelyn woke up the next day, it was already noon.She was lying flat on her stomach, and she could feel a chill on her back. When she saw her back exposed, Madelyn immediately pulled the blanket over herself, but it was quickly pulled away by someone else."Don't move. Unless you want me to reapply the ointment."Madelyn felt somethi

Not long after Zach left, Jasmine brought in some pastries. She took a look at Madelyn's wounds and said some words of concern before leaving.Even after taking the painkillers, Madelyn was still in pain and still could not sleep at night.She was woken up by a nightmare in the middle of the night. She was sweating profusely and since she was unable to move or turn around, her drowsiness was soon lost.With the passing of time, her chest started to hurt badly, so she used a pillow to cushion it.She was only eighteen, and her chest growing too big was not a good thing.When she looked at the time, it was only half past three.Madelyn woke up to go to the bathroom and unbuttoned her pajamas. As she looked at the crisscrossing wounds on her body, it was much better than before aside from a few spots that were still swollen red.She was sweating so much and with the summer heat, her entire body was sticky, so she took a simple bath, making sure to avoid getting her wounds wet.Aft

Madelyn curled her legs up as the light from the phone screen reflected in her eyes, looking at the words not knowing what to say to him.She then sent him some words of concern. [Since you caught a cold, rest up. Remember to stay hydrated and take your medications on time.][Will do.][Sleep early then. Good night][Good night.]Now that she looked back, she had nothing to meet Ethan for.From the very beginning, she simply wanted to save him and did not plan to have much more interaction with him.It was because... she had always planned to leave this place and start a new life in another.Perhaps she would never return to this place again.It was only by leaving this place that Madelyn could free herself from the Jent family, free herself from Cecilia... and start a life of her own.Ethan was not in her plans. If she were to have any deeper entanglement with him, she was afraid that it would only end up being more trouble.Madelyn let out a yawn as she suddenly felt sleep

"You're trying to negotiate with me now?" Hayson frowned.Madelyn said angrily, "It's you who went back against your words. Father... I'm already an adult. Can you stop deciding everything for me? I'm not your puppet!""Talking back now, huh!?" Hayson slammed the cutlery onto the table. "Did I raise you like this, to talk back to me, huh?! Don't you dare forget who's the one supporting you right now! Let's see you survive without spending a single penny of mine!"Madelyn's brow shuddered. "So, if I don't stay in this house and if I don't spend a single penny of yours, you'll no longer interfere in my affairs?""Hah, feeling tough now huh? The punishment last time wasn't enough, I see. If you want to die that much, then I'll see it done!" Hayson stood up and had already pulled his belt out.Hayson was a stickler to rules and protocol and this was the first time he had flared up like this against Madelyn.Jasmine immediately stopped him. "Hayson, what are you doing? Madelyn is just

Zach was contemplating where she might be hiding. However, before long, Jadie's voice broke the silence, directing Zach's attention to a figure standing near a large truck. "Zach, look! It's Madelyn," Jadie exclaimed, her voice tinged with both surprise and concern.Slowing down the vehicle, Zach saw Madelyn getting into the vehicle."Goodness gracious, why is Madelyn leaving with strangers? Has something happened to her? Should we contact the police?" Jadie's words tumbled out in a rush, her concern palpable.Zach averted his eyes, a contemplative silence enveloping him as he focused on the task of driving. "No need," he finally replied, his voice subdued."Are you saying we should we just leave her be like that?"Zach remained silent, his attention steadfastly fixed on the road ahead.As the truck accelerated, its tires kicking up a cloud of dust, the distance between them and Madelyn swiftly expanded. Jadie could sense the car picking up speed, and a part of her longed for Zac

This was a house that Rosario was renting on her own. It was super cheap, with rent only costing about fifty bucks a month.The location faced south and had good natural lighting. If Rosario had not rented this place, Madelyn would have ended up without a roof above her head.This was the second time Madelyn had come here. The first time was because Zach had bought Jadie a pretty dress in secret, but he had never bought anything for her before. After she had found out and confronted him about it, Zach had simply just hissed at her.There was no way a princess like Madelyn could handle being treated like that. As a result, she had left home angrily.That was the first time she left home, and at the time, Zach had not tried to coax her back, as she had cut Jadie's dress, which made him furious.So, Rosario had brought Madelyn, who had been throwing a temper tantrum, here while on the way back.However, because she could not stand the environment here and thought it too dirty, she h

"I'm glad you understand!" Madelyn happily went up to her and hugged her.She eagerly took the thermos from Rosario and sat down beside a small table."Why'd you come out here all of a sudden? Do you know how worried Mr. Jent and Mr. Jardin are? Go back tomorrow!""There's no need for you to try and persuade me; I won't go back. Besides, it won't make a difference whether I'm there or not. They won't worry about me."Rosario looked at the used pot and Worcestershire sauce on the kitchen counter on the balcony.'This is what she's been eating when I'm not around. How could she go through such a thing? She's Ms. Jent!' she thought.Rosario was a little heartbroken. After all, she had watched Madelyn grow up, so she was like her own child."Madelyn, is this all you're having for lunch?"Madelyn took a big bite of carne frita and nodded, "I don't have ingredients at home, so I just made some noodles. But I think I added too much Worcestershire sauce. It's a little too salty. Also..
