Chapter 461

Zach’s words brought back memories of the incident at Supreme World for Donna.

Jadie, who was still at the door, heard what he said. Her body suddenly went limp, and she leaned against the wall. She covered her mouth with her hands. She did not dare to make any sound. She looked terrified. She believed she had discovered some scary secret.

She never knew Zach had so many secrets.

She thought, ‘Has he killed someone before? Why did he want her life?! No… That’s impossible!‘

Jadie remembered Zach as someone who would kneel and beg others when she was starving, just to get a meal for her.

She remembered him, who had adopted stray animals. She also remembered that even after the Jent family adopted him, he continued to donate to a welfare center with his own money to provide for those children’s education. So, Jadie believed Zach would not do such an evil act.

She did not know how she got back to her room. She sat on her bed for a very long time and was still in a daze.

After Zach ended the phone call, he turned around and looked at the screen on the desk, which was still on.

By the time Madelyn had finished tending to Ethan’s wounds, it was already morning. After a night of heavy rain and strong winds, the ground outside was littered with fallen branches and leaves. It was a scene of chaos.

Margaret entered the room and said, “Ms. Jent, you should get some rest. You’ve been taking care of him all night. You didn’t really get any rest. I just tested the signal, and it’s back. I called that phone number, and he said he’ll arrive very soon.”

Madelyn stood up and lost her balance. Margaret quickly supported her.

Madelyn said, “His fever went away. There shouldn’t be any major issues apart from that. If he wakes up, just tell him I’ve gone out.”

“All right, then.” Margaret continued, “Breakfast is ready. Maybe you should eat something to ease your stomach.”

“After he comes to pick Ethan up, you should take a two–day break. It’s been a while since you went home,” Madelyn said as she turned around and left the room.

Although Madelyn said that, Margaret felt she should not just leave Madelyn without ensuring she was taken care of.

Margaret quickly went downstairs to make some dishes and put them inside some glass bowls before covering them tightly with lids. She was afraid Madelyn would not know about the food she made, so she left a note on the refrigerator.

Margaret did not receive much education but knew how to cook some dishes. In the past, when she worked as a maid, people often found her clumsy and spoke without thinking. Her employers would fire her after just a few days.

This household was the longest Margaret had worked for. It was also the easiest job she had, with high pay.

She thought she should take care of Madelyn properly as she was paid. She could not write, so she drew a simple picture on the note. It depicted a little person holding a bowl, symbolizing eating.

After she finished cleaning up, someone rang the doorbell.

Margaret wiped her hands and answered the intercom. When she recognized the person’s voice, she let him in.

Leyton looked tired. He received the call when he was rushing back to Ventropolis after sending Donna back to Prilo.

He asked, “Where is he?“”

Margaret answered, “He’s in Ms. Jent’s room. She instructed me to tell you to take him away and not to come here again.”

Leyton pursed his lips as he said, “What else did Ms. Jent said?”

Margaret sighed, “She’s gone out. She told me to tell you to take him to the hospital immediately.”

Leyton nodded, “Thank you.”

He then hurriedly went upstairs. After he entered Madelyn’s room, he saw the unconscious man lying on the bed and that half of his body was wrapped in bandages. It was only then that he realized something was wrong. He quickly uncovered the blanket and helped Ethan up before carrying him downstairs.

Margaret went back to her room to pack her stuff. She was preparing to go home to check on her husband.

Madelyn watched Leyton leave with Ethan from upstairs.

She then closed the curtains before changing the bed linen. She was very tired after taking care of Ethan for the whole night. She fell asleep almost immediately after she laid her head on her pillow.
