Chapter 383

Madelyn arrived at school on Monday on time, and it was just about time for morning self–study sessions. When she got to class, she did not see Yvonne and Jadie. Not only did they miss the morning self–study sessions, but Madelyn also did not see Jadie for the whole morning.

‘Did something happen to Jadie?‘ Madelyn wondered.

It had been so long since Jadie met with an incident, so Madelyn could not remember it. At noon, Mya came over to invite her to lunch. Madelyn asked Mya about Jadie when they were at the cafeteria.

Mya told her, “I also heard from your class that Jadie was admitted to the hospital. She had accidentally fallen into the swimming pool when she was at the Young residence.”

“Oh yeah, I also didn’t see Forrest today. He hasn’t been coming to classes since last Friday,” Mya added.

Madelyn ate her food calmly and replied, “My mission is complete. I already helped him acquire sufficient results to get into Ventropolis University. Even if he doesn’t study, it is not my concern. Why would you care about him?”

Mya lowered her head and whispered, “I thought both of you used to be best buds…”

“What else could he be doing besides dating? As for Jadie falling into the swimming pool, was it truly an accident?‘ Madelyn thought.

Madelyn’s sixth sense was always right. She thought that this incident was more complex than it seems.

“If you’re still worried, I can accompany you to the hospital, Madelyn,” Mya offered.

Madelyn looked at Mya and thought, ‘Should I let her come with me? That would be good, too. If Mya was there, Zach wouldn’t dare do anything to me! Additionally, Jadie has been staying with the Jent family for dozens of years. Even if she was not a part of the Jent family, I should still visit her.‘

“Sure, sorry for troubling you,” Madelyn said.

“It’s not a problem. We’re friends, right! Since you’ve helped me so much, this kind of small thing should be fine,” As Mya said this, she took her bag up and unzipped it. She then said, “Oh yeah, since you are my first friend in school, My parents had me bring a lot of good stuff to gift to you.” As she spoke, she brought out a lot of bags, “This is dill, mint, and saffron… all grown by our family.”

“I can’t accept such expensive items,” Madelyn refused. No wonder her bag was so full; it was filled with all these things. “They aren’t that expensive. We’ve planted acres of this stuff. Do you not like these herbs? I also have beef jerky.”

Madelyn asked, “Beef jerky? I thought your family reared pigs?”

Mya’s face flushed red out of embarrassment as she said, “Actually, our family has more cows than pigs.”

Madelyn continued to ask, “How many?”

Mya thought about it and said, “Not much! Just about ten thousand cows. We have lesser pigs, around a few thousand of them.

‘Oh my goodness! With so many animals, the field at her house should be enormous. If you really thought about it, I might not even be as rich as her family,‘ Madelyn thought.

In return, Madelyn also gifted Mya a bracelet she had bought at Marisburg after she accepted so many gifts from Mya. She did not know how much it cost since it was Ethan who had footed the bill. Madelyn could not even begin to guess the value of the bag of saffron. Had she not been able to refuse Mya, Madelyn would not have accepted such expensive items.

When they arrived at the hospital, Madelyn brought fruits, while Mya brought a bouquet of flowers.

Madelyn had asked Kevin for news about Jadie being hospitalized. He probably told her about Jadie’s location with Zach’s consent. They had taken a cab to the hospital.

When they walked to the sick ward, they heard Jadie’s voice, “Zach, I’m full. You can return first!

Rosario is here to care for me, so I will be fine. If you continue to delay your work, Mr. Jent will be angry.”

“Madelyn? Why are you here? Come in and take a seat,” Rosario, who was walking out of the bathroom with a basin, just happened to meet Madelyn outside.

Madelyn walked into the sick ward with Mya following behind her timidly.

“…It was Ethan who told me about Jadie being admitted to the hospital. I was worried, so I came over to check on her,” Madelyn explained.

Gupter Soda Capuzzled I thought I was the one who told her about it. But she didn’t say anything more.

the spital room, jade lowered her faced and asked, “Did the school find out what happened to me?”

“,“dely replied to a gentle voice “I just got back from Marisburg I’m glad that you’re okay.”

“Adhd? I can get you something.” Rosario kindly offered.

Madelyn quirky responded, “Thank you, but we ate before we came ”

Zach stood up and offered My a chair. “Please, take a seat. Standing for too long can be tiring”

“‘s olay, I’m fine standing,” 16ya replied, feeling a bit shy.

Madelyn mentioned, “Jade, now that I see you’re okay, I’ll have to head back to school later.”

Za sad, “I’m heading back to the office anyway, I can give you two a ride.”

Modelyn hesitated for a moment, not too sure about going to school with him. “It’s alright, we can just catch a taxi.”

“Madelyn, you’ve dready come all this way to visit me. It’s only fair for Zach to give you a ride back to school. Please don’t Since Jadi hud said so, Madelyn couldn’t keep saying no. She nodded, “Alright.”

After a little while, Madelyn, Mya, and Zach left jadie’s room and made their way to the parking lot together.

Zech opened the passenger door, dearly expecting Madelyn to sit there.

Madalyn sprike up, “I’ll sit in the backseat with Mya.”

“Don’t make me repeat,” he said with a stem voice, not giving her a chance to refuse.

Mye sensed the tension and said, “It’s okay, Madelyn, I can sit in the back alone. You can sit up front.”

With those words, she opened the rear door and got in.

So, Madalyn reluctantly took the passenger seat.

No one spoke a word during the car ride, and Zach’s frosty demeanor seemed as cold as the frigid weather outside, filling the while with an ley tension Madelyn didn’t understand what was wrong. He must be really upset about someone trying to harm Jadie.‘

When they arrived at the school gate, Madelyn quickly opened the car door.

“I have something to discuss with her. You go on ahead,” Zach told Mya.

Mya replied, “Alright, Mr. Jardin,” and then said to Madelyn, “I’ll wait for you.”

After Mys got out of the car, Zach locked the doors.

Madelyn’s heart skipped a beat. “Wh–What are you trying to do? Don’t do anything stupid. We’re at the school gate; people “Oh, you’ve just reminded me.” Zach pressed on the gas pedal, and the car sped forward.

He was driving way too fast, well above the speed limit, nearly colliding with a motorbike that had just come from a side road. Madelyn glanced bark and saw that the rider had fallen. “Zach Jardin, are you out of your mind? That lady is pregnant!”
