Kai replied, "Forty years ago, Willowbrookshire was where Marisburg stands today. There's a place there called the Forsaken Garden. All those people who died in vain are buried there.""H-He's there too?" Madelyn asked.Kai knew who Madelyn meant. He answered, "After Erick Blinken died, Ms. Wood made his tombstone all by herself. Regardless of whether you believe me or not, you'll know the truth once you arrive at Marisburg. I know that no matter what I do now, I can't undo the damage I've caused you. I will give you my life if you want it now. You don't even have to do it yourself."This was Kai's punishment for himself, to punish himself for foolishly torturing her for so many years."For now, it's best you stay by Zach's side while I investigate some matters. He won't hurt you now. Right now, while there are still unknown dangers lurking, only Zach can protect you," Kai continued.Despite their family's relationship, Madelyn would never call him her brother. When they finished

Madelyn thought, 'Rosario and Hayson are both dead now.'After the cremation, the person who held the urn covered it with a black cloth. He brought it over and said, "My condolences."Zach took over the urn. He said, "I'll handle the funeral."Madelyn expressionlessly responded, "Up to you. I'm fine with anything."She turned around and left after that.In the hall upstairs, Kai had already settled all the expenses. He was carrying a bag containing the medication Madelyn needed for chemotherapy. He said, "The medicines you've been using work well, but they have some negative side effects, so it's time to stop taking them. The medicines I'm giving you now have been clinically tested and are free of any side effects."When Kai saw Zach walk toward them, he leaned slightly toward Madelyn and whispered in her ear, "From now on, I'll always stand by your side."Madelyn trembled and looked at him with a confused expression.Zach walked closer with the child in his arms. Kevin, who ha

Jasmine looked at Madelyn thoughtfully, and it made Madelyn a bit uneasy.Madelyn pretended she didn't see it and thought, 'My dad, Hayson, who raised me, is now being called my real dad's killer. It seems like I don't belong to the Jent family at all.'All of this was overwhelming for Madelyn, including dealing with Jasmine and Samantha.Before Zach could say anything, Madelyn spoke calmly, "If you're in a hurry, we can finish the paperwork for the property transfer tomorrow. I'll give you the mansion, and once all the papers are ready, I'll move out quickly."As for child support, you should talk to Zach."After Zach bought the big house, he put it in Madelyn's name.Even though Hayson was gone, Jasmine was still technically his wife. Madelyn didn't see any reason not to give her the mansion.Madelyn had no plans to get involved in Zach and Jasmine's affairs. She thought, 'Jasmine wants Zach, and it's not my business if he wants to support her daughter.'Madelyn took Dalton f

Madelyn didn't feel the need to explain to Zach why she was taking these medications. He was well aware that she had been born prematurely and had been delicate since childhood. When she got sick, her recovery was often a slow process.About four to five years ago, she had tried to end her life by jumping into the sea. After that incident, her health deteriorated even further.Moreover, her frequent travels to different places exposed her to various climates and hadn't been kind to her overall health.A servant knocked on the partially open door and announced, "Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent, dinner is served. You can have your meals now."Madelyn told Zach, "You can go downstairs and eat now. I'll get Dal dressed up."Zach replied, "I'll wait for you."Madelyn met Zach's gaze for a moment, then quickly averted her eyes. "It's up to you," she said.Zach took a seat at the end of the bed with Dalton on his lap. Madelyn helped Dalton put on his shirt, while Zach, somewhat clumsily, changed

Madelyn didn't possess much business acumen; she had inherited most of her traits from her mother and enjoyed painting.She told Zach, "Right from the start, Father wanted you to inherit the company. It's yours. I won't take it; I'm not cut out for business either. "As for the burial alongside Mom, we can discuss it later. Let's set the date for the funeral now."Madelyn noticed that Dalton had spit up some milk. She quickly grabbed a few tissues, removed the milk bottle, and wiped his mouth.Zach replied, "The date has been decided. It can be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."Madelyn suggested, "Tomorrow is too soon. Let's make it the day after tomorrow.""Okay."The weather the day after tomorrow was quite nice. It would not rain. Madelyn had never liked gloomy weather.Many things could be settled in a single day. Hayson had made quite a few enemies in his life, and his death would bring joy to many. Madelyn couldn't quite describe her feelings, but at least she d

"Mom... Kingsley is here." Samantha exclaimed, pointing excitedly. Madelyn followed Samantha's gaze and saw a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, standing under a tree with black, edgy short hair. He waved at them.Samantha pleaded, "Mom, I want to go to Kingsley."Jasmine allowed, "Go ahead."As soon as she released Samantha's hand, Samantha immediately ran toward him in excitement.Madelyn was taken aback when she saw him because his features were strikingly similar to Zach's. She estimated they shared about seventy percent similarity. The key difference was that Kingsley had a more innocent and youthful appearance compared to Zach.The difference between them was Kingsley looked innocent and youthful, unlike Zach.Before Jasmine left, she took one last look at Zach and walked toward Kingsley. Eventually, Madelyn left too.As soon as Madelyn got into the car, a light drizzle started. Due to not having slept well the previous night, she fe

Margaret replied, "She didn't provide a name, but judging by her voice, it seemed like a young woman."Madelyn had always been accustomed to solitude and wasn't skilled in socializing. Therefore, Margaret refrained from accepting the invitation on Madelyn's behalf. She simply informed the caller that she would pass on the message.Madelyn opened the invitation card and took a look. Without even needing to read the name below, she could tell from the handwriting that it was from Mya.She thought, 'After all these years, her handwriting is still the same... A birthday party?'Zach entered from outside and asked, "Are you considering going? I'll go with you.""I'll decide later," Madelyn responded. She set down the invitation card with its elegant gold embossing. She checked the date and saw that it was scheduled for a week later.She thought, 'It looks like Kennedy is back as well. Apart from him, no one knows I'm back in the Venturia.'Madelyn returned to her room and changed out

Zach continued, "It's only fair that one pays for the life they took with their own life. There are certain things I haven't disclosed to you because I didn't want to taint the world as you know it. Hayson wasn't a righteous man, and neither am I..."Madelyn had always been striving for a pure life. She had been aware of what Zach was saying.Hayson had never been a virtuous person. When Madelyn's classmates at school bullied her, hit her, and insulted her, she couldn't bring herself to speak up. She endured the bullying because she was known as Hayson's daughter.Even if she did confide in Hayson about her problems, he would never empathize. He would merely instruct her to endure it and avoid causing trouble at school. Consequently, Madelyn could only suffer in silence.Slowly, Madelyn released her bite, leaving fresh blood on her lips. Zach's dark-striped pajamas were also stained with blood.She responded, "He faced retribution and died. What about you, then? Why don't you die?
