Chapter 105

Zach had not expected Madelyn to jump into the sea without any hesitation.

Evidently, Madelyn was a completely different person now than how he remembered her. He wondered what had caused that.

‘Did she discover something?”

He had noticed something was off ever since she had retaliated against the Linney family.

He pondered, ‘If she’s like this, I can’t keep her by my side, let alone give her the chance to get close to the Arnold family.’

Jadie watched Zach left with the documents. She realized he did not ask her about what happened to her in Portsmouth Fishing Village and felt that Zach did not care about her at all.

When Jadie saw the pile of photos on Zach’s desk in the study, she finally realized that when Madelyn had first run away from the Jent family, Zach had sent someone to keep a close watch on her the whole time, instead of just ignoring her.

She thought, ‘If Madelyn hadn’t gotten into trouble, Zach probably wouldn’t have gone to Portsmouth Fishing Village personally to deal with the matter.’

Jadie had grown up with Zach, and they had experienced all kinds of hardships together. They were the closest individuals in each other’s lives.

However, during her years abroad, she noticed Zach becoming increasingly distant toward her, and started becoming genuinely afraid that she would lose him.

Zach left the conference room after the meeting at the company ended. He then received a call from Kevin.

Kevin had just paid Madelyn’s hospital bill. He held the bill as he informed Zach, “Ms. Jent just had her blood transfusion. Her abdominal wound has been stitched up too. There aren’t any other internal injuries. However, she has a high fever, a hundred- and four-degrees Fahrenheit. She needs to stay in the hospital for a week.”

He was praying that he would not have to stay there and take care of Madelyn.

‘If so, I’d rather die.”

Zach got into the elevator. He checked the time, and it was four-thirty in the afternoon.

He responded, “Find a caregiver to take care of her round the clock.”

“Okay.”

After the call ended, Kevin felt like he had forgotten to inform Zach about something important, but he could not remember it, so he just ignored it.

After Kevin found a caregiver, he did not waste much time there. Once everything was taken care of, he drove back to the company.

The hospital was cold and filled with the sterile smell of disinfectant.

Madelyn dreamed that she had died and that her soul had left her body. In her dream, her soul wandered the hospital corridors, but no matter where she went, she could not leave the dark hospital.

She watched as the people and the hospital strollers walked past her…She was trapped.

The pain in Madelyn’s throat woke her up. She was dizzy and had lost count of how many times she had gotten sick and woken up feeling like this every time.

The empty ward was dark. She coughed uncomfortably several times. As soon as she felt the coldness on the back of her hand, she quickly removed the needle. She thought, ‘If I’d slept any longer, I’d probably be dead by tomorrow.”

She sat up by using the bed to support herself. Just as she stretched her hand to turn on the bedside switch, the lights were switched on.

The harsh light made her squint.

When she saw Zach standing at the door, Madelyn was terrified.

She pondered, ‘When did Zach come here? Why didn’t I notice him?’

She said in a hoarse voice, “Zach…”

Zach emotionlessly glanced at the needle on the floor as he walked toward Madelyn. He then used the back of his hand to feel her forehead, which was still hot with fever.

Madelyn whispered in her thoughts again, ‘Shouldn’t he be with Jadie right now?’

She coughed a few times. She did not dare to look into his fierce eyes, “Zach… It’s so late now. Why did you come?”

“Madelyn, why are you so determined to leave the Jent family? Or… did something, and you just don’t want to tell me about it?!”

you discover She was intimidated by him and suddenly felt suffocated. Her face turned pale.
