Chapter 342
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 342 Madelyn glanced at Ethan and quickly looked away, feeling guilty. She was not sure if it was because she had used him or kept secrets from him.
Ethan said, âThe doctors said itâs just appendicitis, nothing serious. Youâll be fine soon, okay? Just stay here in the hospital-â
Interrupting him, Madelyn, looking down and leaning against the bed, stared at her hand on the blanket. Her hair was a mess, and she looked pale and tired. âIt wasnât appendicitis; it was a hysterectomy.â
Ethan felt a wave of sadness wash over him. After saying that, Madelyn felt a bit better, but she still could not bring herself to look at him. âThe appendicitis surgery was a lie that I told my dad. I donât want to lie to you.â
âWhy?â Ethan asked. Madelyn took a deep breath, looked Ethan in the eyes, and said slowly, âIf my dad knew I couldnât have kids, I probably wouldnât even get to finish high school, much less go to college. After high school, I might even be sold off, maybe to older guys who already have families, since it doesnât matter to them whether or not I can have kids. She knew that what they really cared about was that she was young and pretty, so they could keep her as a trophy wife. âSo, yeah, I had to hide it from him.â
âIs this what the Jent family is really like?â Ethan wondered, holding her ice- cold hand. âMadelyn⦠if two people really love each other, it doesnât matter if they have kids or not.â When she heard that, it felt like her heart stopped for a second. She blinked, surprised, then smiled sadly.â
You donât need to try and make me feel better. Everyone cares about stuff like this. Even the most loving relationship can fall apart one day. The only reason I went to the Arnold family was to use your power to get away from all this danger. Iâm so sorry⦠I really didnât want to lie to you.â
Ethan held her hand even harder. âIâm going to keep you safe, I promise. Ever since I told you how I feel, I knew Iâd always care about you, no matter what happens.â
Madelyn could not believe it. Nobody had ever told her that before. No one had ever assured her that it was okay not to have kids. She herself had always been really worried about whether she could have kids.
In her past life, she had been unable to have a baby. Even when she knew Zach was seeing other women, she just ignored it. She told herself it was her fault she could not have a baby, so it made sense for him to be with other women who could. She let him do it over and over, and never made a big deal about it..
That evening, after school, Zach came to pick up Jadie. She told Zach about Madelyn, and they decided to visit her at the hospital. But when they got there, the nurse said, âShe already left with someone.â There was no need to say who; they both knew full well who Madelyn left with.
Still worried, Jadie asked, âMadelyn hasnât fully recovered yet, is it really safe for her to go home? What if something happens?â
The nurse smiled and reassured her, â Donât worry, young lady. She was picked up by the CEO of Arnold Corporation.â
