Madelyn decided to change the topic and softly said, "I lost my purse.""Drive," Zach said to the driver.Madelyn was worried, and she would not be troubling him unless it was absolutely necessary. She continued, "There's a photo of my mom inside, and it's very important to me.""Got it." Zach responded.With his assurance, Madelyn knew Zach would surely help her find the wallet.Shelley ran and chased after the car, wailing uncontrollably as Rogan and the others had been taken away by the police.Everyone there was left scared senseless. They had all seen just how ruthless Zach could be. With just a few strikes, all five hooligans had been beaten to a bloody pulp!Blood had been left all over and cleaning it off proved to be a daunting task.As the scene had unfolded, no one had dared to speak a word. They did not want to get into trouble just for a few hooligans and could tell Zach and his people were not to be messed with.Wonda was hiding behind a tractor and had seen ever
The bumpy road made the wound on Madelyn's abdomen reopen.She screamed internally, 'It hurts!'Madelyn tried her best to endure the pain and prevent herself from fainting. She felt disoriented, her vision becoming increasingly blurry. Madelyn clenched her teeth and just remained silent, not wanting to cause Zach any more trouble.Suddenly, her body leaned forward. Zach, who was resting with his eyes closed, instantly opened his eyes. He quickly caught her with his hand.As he touched her skin, he noticed how hot her body felt, and pulled her closer toward him.Zach frowned, "How much longer until we arrive at the hospital?""This road was just repaired, so it's a little congested now. It'll take at least an hour."Jadie turned her head and wailed in a terrified voice, "Oh my god. Zach, Madelyn has bled so much."Zach removed Madelyn's blazer. The light-colored shirt inside was stained with blood.He thought, 'She just kept quiet about this?'"Kevin, stop by the roadside and
Zach had not expected Madelyn to jump into the sea without any hesitation.Evidently, Madelyn was a completely different person now than how he remembered her. He wondered what had caused that.'Did she discover something?'He had noticed something was off ever since she had retaliated against the Linney family.He pondered, 'If she's like this, I can't keep her by my side, let alone give her the chance to get close to the Arnold family.'Jadie watched Zach left with the documents. She realized he did not ask her about what happened to her in Portsmouth Fishing Village and felt that Zach did not care about her at all.When Jadie saw the pile of photos on Zach's desk in the study, she finally realized that when Madelyn had first run away from the Jent family, Zach had sent someone to keep a close watch on her the whole time, instead of just ignoring her.She thought, 'If Madelyn hadn't gotten into trouble, Zach probably wouldn't have gone to Portsmouth Fishing Village personally
Zach's gaze was terrifying.Madelyn sat on the bed and lowered her head to avoid eye contact with him.She weakly said, "I've been too spoiled and sheltered growing up, so I wanted to see the outside world. Zach, I'm sorry... I won't run away and throw tantrums anymore."She knew it would be unwise to argue with Zach now.He was twenty-six years old, and Hayson was planning to retire early, so once Hayson handed Zach the keys to the company in the future and Zach took over full control of the company like he had in her previous life, Madelyn would no longer be able to escape from him.In short, she was no match for Zach. Madelyn thought, 'I should've realized earlier that it's impossible for me to escape from the Jent family, I should just resign to fate. As long as I don't get married to Zach, that tragedy from my past life won't happen again.'She continued, "I'm fine with Dad wanting me to get married as soon as I graduate from university. But Zach... can you persuade Dad to l
The next day, instead of returning to normal, Madelyn's body temperature rose even higher. Her brow trickled with sweat, and her eyes were wet with tears.She was so sick that she started hallucinating and rambling incoherently. If a nurse had not noticed it, she might have gone delirious from the fever.The caregiver that Kevin had hired only arrived in the afternoon. Rosario was used to taking care of Madelyn and brought fresh clothes for her early in the morning. She wiped away her own tears upon seeing Madelyn suffer.She thought, 'I shouldn't have let her stay at that kind of place. She's never experienced any hardships growing up.' Rosario deeply regretted it.After Madelyn received a painkiller injection, her body temperature returned to normal, but she still showed no signs of waking up.Rosario had to go back and could not just stay in the hospital to take care of Madelyn round the clock, so she told the caregiver what she should be mindful about when taking care of Madel
In her past life, when Madelyn had heard this news, it had dealt a heavy blow to her. She had been unable to conceive due to her uterine deformity. She had long hoped for a child with Zach, as she thought it would stop Zach from fooling around with other women.After a long wait, they had finally gotten the chance to welcome their baby into the world. However, Zach forced her into having an abortion.Before that, she had gotten into an accident and had spent over half a month in hospital. After recovering, she had gotten a full-body checkup, and her medical report had been sent to Zach.She recalled, 'Why did Zach lie and tell me that my condition was fine? If he hadn't hidden my condition from me and had let me seek medical treatment earlier, maybe our child wouldn't have died back then!'Thinking of Zach's true intentions, Madelyn felt a chill go down her spine.'Zach didn't just marry Cecilia because of his so-called "need for an heir". Zach just wanted to... How foolish of me,
Madelyn was devastated and felt like she would be better off dead. In her past life, she had been too naive to understand Zach's true intentions. Now, whenever she dwelled on his actions, all she would feel was heartbreak.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not make a sound or cry. Madelyn wiped her tears away. "I'm fine. There was a bug in my eye."The nurse stared at Madelyn as if she had grown a third eye. The hospital was sterile, and there was no way there could be any bugs in the hospital.The nurse wondered, 'Has this patient gone insane?'However, the nurse did not press any further. Noticing that the IV drip was already half-empty, she adjusted the infusion speed and slowed it down. After leaving the room, she informed Madelyn's attending doctor about her mental condition.Crown Villa Club was established in the early 1980s. It used to be a cabaret from the Republican era, yet it was now transformed into a club while maintaining its vintage style.In a private room
"You're the one who asked for the drugs. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, why are you still feigning concern? Isn't Madelyn just a pawn in your grand plan? You wanted to break her down and watch Hayson send her to hell, didn't you? If you want to have fun with her first, I could let you...If you want to, we could both do her together. All these years, I've never seen you touch a woman, so I'm suspicious of your abilities!" Kai sneered.Zach narrowed his eyes. "Say one more word, and I'll gladly make you mute."Kai's smirked, then burst into laughter. "What are you getting so agitated about? How interesting. I haven't seen you like this in so many years, Zach."Zach kept quiet.Thinking about Madelyn, Zach felt things were slowly getting out of his control. Deep down, there was a void in his soul, and he did not know how to fill it."It's been ten years. Do you really have zero feelings for her? Why don't we make a bet on your feelings for Madelyn? If I win, I get ten percen
