The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 703 No matter what, he was still a child. Madelyn could not just leave him crying incessantly like this, âWhat is Zach thinking? Itâs too absurd to bring a baby home like this.â
After reaching the nearest hospital, the baby was taken to the emergency room immediately. Kevin followed with two large bags of baby supplies.
They waited outside the emergency room. After examination, the doctor said, âThe child has a high fever and has been sick for quite a few days. His condition is serious, and he needs treatment at the hospital. Given his weak condition, itâs uncertain whether he can pull through.â
âOkay, thank you.â
The baby was taken into the intensive care unit. For the first time, Madelyn felt Zach was acting particularly childish, âWhat on earth was he thinking?â
Kevin left to handle the hospital admission procedures, and Madelyn waited at the entrance. The baby needed someone to watch over him, so she could not leave. The child had a fever of 40 degrees; the doctor said whether he could survive tonight depended entirely on fate.
Suddenly, a police officer in a black uniform and a woman approached. Madelyn stood up. The police officer said, âWe checked the surveillance footage. She abandoned the child.â
The woman, who appeared to be in her forties or fifties, said anxiously, âOh my! Sir, Madam, Iâm really innocent in this matter. Look. How could I give birth at this age? This child isnât mine. I found him in the trash today. I had no choice but to leave him at the entrance of the orphanage.â
Madelyn asked, âCanât you trace where this child came from?â
The police officer said, âWe reviewed the surveillance footage along the way, but we couldnât find the person who abandoned the child. Several cameras on Chapel Street were broken, and the cameras at crucial locations didnât record anything. Itâs going to be very difficult to trace the person. Soâ¦â
The implication was clear. Madelyn turned to leave, but Zach firmly grasped her wrist and said, âThank you. Weâll handle it ourselves.â
The police officer said, âMy pleasure, Mr. Jardin.â
After they left, Madelyn could not free herself from his grasp. So, she said to Zach expressionlessly, âYou brought this child back. Itâs your responsibility, not mine.â
âYou want a child. We can adopt him, and he will be our child.â
Madelyn looked at him in disbelief for a few seconds. Then, she raised her hand and struck him across the face in trembling anger, âDo you know what youâre saying? Do you realize that youâre already married?! If you want a child, you can have Yvonne birth one for you. I have no say in your adoption, but I will not accept a child of unknown origin. Heâs not my child, and heâs definitely not ours.â
âIs it because of what I said last night?â
Not far away, Yvonne watched the scene unfold. She wore her backpack and stopped as she entered.
She was here to visit Ethan and happened to pass by. However, she did not expect to witness Madelyn physically confront Zach.
Zachâs reaction was unexpected to Yvonne. He did not get angry or upset.â Is Zach indulging her now?â
Yvonne thought Zach treated everyone the same, regardless of who they were.
