Chapter 763
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
Kai rushed to the ward where Agustin had already regained consciousness. He had a gentle face, but his brows were furrowed. He was panting while clutching his chest.
âYou may leave for now,â Kai told the nurse.
The nurse said, âAlright, Dr. Stewart.â
Agustin lay in the bed and spoke hoarsely, âDonât worry. Itâs just an ongoing health problem.â
Kai fetched a cushion and placed it behind Agustinâs back.
Agustin asked, âHas he awakened?â
In an instant, a coldness flickered in Kaiâs eyes, âHis awakening was only a matter of time. Agustin, rest assured; Hayson wonât live for much longer.â
Agustin inquired, âIs that young girl really Haysonâs biological daughter?â
He noticed her as early as four or five years ago. The first time he saw her, she bore an uncanny resemblance to Alicia! There was not a trace of Hayson in her to the point he had doubtsâ¦
âIf not him, then who else could it be?â Alicia was only pregnant with one personâs child back then. If it were not for Hayson, the Hawk family would not have experienced such an event. Agustin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt much better, âLetâs start, but make sure not to leave any traces.â
âDonât worry, I wonât.â
âEverything will come to an end very soon.â
When Madelyn rushed to the hospital, the ward was empty, and fundamental care was lacking. Only the nurse would come in at scheduled times to check on their patients.
The nurse said, âThe patient had a stroke, and the situation is still unstable. He needs to remain hospitalized for some time.â
Madelyn replied, âThank you.â
âMy pleasure.â
Madelyn glanced at the person on the bed worriedly and placed the flowers she had brought by his bedside. Her visit to the hospital was not only to see her father but also to take this opportunity to ask Kai about the man in the photograph. However, Zach had been by her side the entire time, leaving no chance for her.
Madelyn never expected Jasmine to do anything, either. She hired a nursing assistant for surveillance, ensuring a rapid response in case of unexpected events.
Zach had given Madelyn only half an hour for the hospital visit. She could not do anything either, so she left the hospital shortly.
Zach took a phone call downstairs at the hospital, and Madelyn was waiting nearby. Suddenly, she saw the same man she had encountered last time. He was in hospital attire and emerged from the elevator looking paler than before. Beside him was Kai.
Seeing them approach, Madelyn was surprised when the man took the initiative to greet her, â Young lady, we meet again.â
Madelyn looked at Kai beside him and then back at him, âIs the surgery successful? Are you feeling better?â
Agustin smiled kindly, âThanks for your concern. The surgery was successful, and Iâm feeling much better.â
Madelyn replied, âIâm glad youâre okay.â
The bodyguards on the side suddenly reminded her, âMs. Jent, itâs time to go back.â
Madelyn looked to the side and saw that Zach had finished making the phone call and was walking toward them, âWell, I should go now. Please take good care of yourself.â
Agustin nodded, âYoung lady, whatâs your name?â
Madelyn replied, âIâm Madelyn.â
âThatâs a nice name. Iâll remember it. Go back now so your family doesnât worry.â
Kai looked at her as he smiled, âMadelyn, are you ignoring me now? Iâll feel hurt, you know?â âHurt?
Impossible,â Madelyn found his behavior similar to Zachâs and felt utterly disgusted. âDr. Stewart, weâre not that close yet. Please show respect,â Madelyn retorted, then walked away.
Agustin kept his gaze on Madelyn until she got into the car. He narrowed his eyes as if he were seeing someone else, âIs this your child, Alicia?â
Madelyn sat in the car and watched the man standing at the hospital entrance. A slight unease crept into her heart when she looked at his saddened expression.
Madelyn only withdrew her gaze when Zach closed the car window. He asked, âDo you know him?
What did you talk about just now?â
âNothing, just a casual chat.â
âOkay.â Surprisingly, Zach did not press for more details. Under normal circumstances, he would have scrutinized every word, questioning her thoroughly.
âIâve applied for our visas to return to France. Weâll settle there with the child in a couple of days.â
âS-Settle in France?â Madelyn was shocked and took a moment to process, âWhy are we moving to France all of a sudden? What about your company?â
The carâs air conditioning was on, but the heating function was making it a bit warm. Zach removed his coat and replied, âThe main operations of Jardin Corporation are not based here. The majority of its assets are overseas. Iâll leave the affairs here to the others in the future.â
Madelyn asked, âWho?â
Zach answered, âCecilia.â, âItâs her!â
Zach noticed Madelynâs unusual reaction and subtly smirked. He explained, âIâm employing her because she does have some extraordinary abilities. No matter where she is, she can bring profits to the company. Having someone like her has no downsides.â
Madelyn leaned back in her chair, her gaze shifting to the car window. She replied with a faint expression, âYou donât need to explain all this to me. Whether you employ her or not has nothing to do with me.â
