Chapter 596

Madelyn spoke in her sleep, tears streaming down her face. “Please, give me back my baby…”

Zach stared at her, anger flickering in his eyes, “What baby?” His voice demanding an answer.

“No! Cecilia, please… tell Zach to give me back my baby. You can have him, but I want to keep my baby…”

‘Cecilia?’ Zach made a mental note of the name.

While Zach handled business matters, he also took care of the unconscious Madelyn.

When Jadie arrived, she looked worn out and tired.

She wasn’t sure how to face Zach. When she looked at Madelyn, there was coldness in her eyes.

“Is Zach planning to look after her forever?”

Busy with his work, Zach didn’t look up, but his voice sounded irritated, “Where were you last night?

Kevin said you didn’t come back to the apartment.”

“Do you even care about me anymore, Zach? Whether I live or die, It doesn’t matter to you.”

Zach paused, his eyes cold, “It seems that therapy clinic isn’t helping you.”

These days, apart from some part–time jobs, Jadie had spent most of her time at a therapy clinic.

The hourly consultation wasn’t cheap, but Zach was willing to pay for her.

“You want me to be cured, but you’ve never once accompanied me to the clinic. You know I’ve become like this because of you. Only you can make it right.”

“Jadie, I’ve done everything I can to give you the best. Besides material things, there’s nothing else I can offer.”

Jadie retorted, “I don’t need anything else. If she wasn’t here, would you treat me like before? Just the two of us?”

Zach put aside his work, closed his notebook, and stood up from the couch, “Go to your room and rest.

Madelyn is sick; she needs someone to look after her.”

“With all the servants in the house, why do you have to personally take care of her? And… Zach… it’s not just Madelyn who’s sick. I’m sick too…”

Zach, frowning, ushered her out of the room, “When you’ve calmed down, we can talk.”

“I am calm now! You know I waited for you all of last night? When I couldn’t find you, I went searching.

And what did I see? You with Madelyn, in the car, having sex. Can you even imagine how that shattered me? Sending me to that clinic was just an excuse, wasn’t it? So you two could be together without any interruptions!”

Zach looked at her with deep eyes, “Whatever I do with her is my business. I thought I made things clear with you.”

Jadie laughed bitterly, “I’ve never understood, not once! I’ve known you since childhood. I met you before she did, so why do you only see me as a sister? Do you think I’m not worthy of you?”

“Jadie, it’s never been about that.”

“But I can’t bear to see you with someone else, especially not with Madelyn!” Tears in her eyes, Jadie sprinted out, overwhelmed by her emotions.

Watching her retreat, Zach quickly pulled out his phone and dialed, “Fred, keep an eye on Jadle round the clock. Ensure she’s okay.”

Fred responded promptly. “Understood, sir.”

Zach had a handful of trusted associates. Typically, Kevin would be the one to manage these situations, but he was preoccupied at the moment.
