Kai noticed Lana's upset stomach and chatted more to distract her, gently rubbing her abdomen.Lana, sitting on his lap, felt much better. "Don't stop talking," she said."I tried to stop him last night," Kai said. "Had I been late, Yvonne might not have made it here today.""He wanted to kill her? Why? Yvonne's his ex-wife. That's horrible!"Kai grinned. "Wife? He saw her as just a tool. I thought Zach was tough, like he couldn't love anyone. But now, he's got a soft spot. Just talking about Maddie made him think twice. The old Zach would've been way harsher with the Youngs."Lana was amazed. "I never knew he was that scary. It must be tough being with him, but why did you help her get better?"Kai stopped writing and pinched Lana's cheek gently. "You're really smart, figuring things out quickly."Lana's cheeks turned pink. "No teasing, okay? Just tell me what's up.""Last night, I chatted with Yvonne about Ethan. I think she's hiding something about the plane crash. She might
Kai asked, "Is everything okay?"The nurse gave a quick nod. "All good. I'm off to fetch the meds." In her mind, she pondered, 'That medicine hasn't seen the light of day in ages. Why's it being used for this patient?'Just then, a voice called out, "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Jardin!"Kai glanced up, his eyebrows raised slightly, as he heard voices outside."Ah, what a surprise!" As Zach and Madelyn walked in, he poured two cups of water, sliding one toward Madelyn. "Here, I added some brown sugar to this one. It'll help warm you up."Madelyn smiled in thanks."So, what brings you here today?" Kai knew they usually had a reason.Madelyn turned to Zach. "You go handle your stuff."Zach, needing to step out but reluctant to leave Madelyn alone, decided it was best that she stay here.The evening sun set, reflecting the recent mix of warm and chilly weather. Zach, wanting to keep Madelyn cozy, shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders."Stay put for a bit, okay? Don't
Madelyn stood up unsuspectingly and said, "Alright, I understand."When she left with the nurse, she noticed that something was off after walking for a while. They were not heading toward the blood test lab at all.The corridor was quiet, and the lights were dim. Madelyn stopped in her tracks and questioned the fake nurse, "You're not a nurse from this hospital. Who the hell are you?"The fake nurse knew she had been exposed. She immediately turned around and ran toward the other emergency exit. Madelyn gave chase and found out that both emergency exits were locked. When she returned to take the elevator, the elevator continued to go up. However, it got stuck halfway. She was stuck in the elevator.Madelyn banged on the elevator door and shouted, "Is anyone there!? Open the door!"'No wonder the fake nurse used the stairs. The elevator was broken. Who was she anyway? Was it Yvonne? It couldn't be her. She was still having her surgery. She couldn't have reached her so fast,' Madely
'She's definitely here,' Kai said as he picked up the ring. She had to be here since this thirty-million-dollar ring was not something that she would lose so easily.Ignoring the dangers of the fire, Kai searched for equipment in the fire. He tried to open the cabinet to the fire hose reel and attempted to extinguish the fire. At the same time, Kai heard some noise from the emergency exit. When he went to open it, the door was locked.However, it was not the time to investigate it. Fortunately, Kai arrived early by a few minutes. The fire would have been unstoppable if he were a few minutes late.'Madelyn was definitely locked on this floor. Or else, these bastards wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to trick Madelyn and set this fire on her,' Kai thought.While the fire was slowly being extinguished, Kai covered his nose and searched every room on that floor. By the time the firemen arrived, Kai had inhaled too much carbon dioxide and his body was struggling to move, but he p
After an hour of surgery, Zach arrived at the hospital and stood outside the operating room with Lana. Zach's expression was cold as he questioned Lana, "What the hell happened! Why would there be a fire out of nowhere!?"Lana was still worried about Kai's injury. Her eyes were still puffy from crying. When Zach interrogated her, Lana could not respond. She did not know why it happened.Instead, the nanny taking care of Lana explained the situation to Zach. Zach scowled and ordered Kevin, "Find the surveillance footage. Do whatever it takes to find the culprit."Kevin nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Jardin."Kevin received the surveillance footage of the sixteenth floor. He noticed that the suspect was wearing a mask. Her features were unrecognizable. When the police came to investigate it, the forensic artists could only deduce the person's features. It was the only clue they had for now.By the time Madelyn was sent to the ICU, Kevin had returned from his investigation. He reported t
Yvonne cried while her scarred hands gripped Zach's wrists. She spoke with much difficulty, "What are you talking about!? I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Zach. When will you stop trying to hurt me? You're the reason I'm in this state now. Do you want to ruin my entire life, too?"Zach was utterly ruthless, which scared the nurses who dared not move. Zach stared at her furiously, "Do you really think I care about your life at all?"Zach grabbed her face and slammed her onto the table. He then grabbed hot boiling water and forced it into Yvonne's mouth. Yvonne screamed as her hands flailed in the air.Zach's hands were being scratched, but he tightened his grip. Everyone watched on with horror as Yvonne went limp after struggling. When she was left with her last breath, Zach finally let her go.Yvonne slipped off the table slowly and laid on the floor, her eyes wide open. Zach was unfazed as he stared at her. Zach's hands had also been scorched by the boiling water.
Although Rosario had been dead for many years, she had still been able to sponsor a student. Sparing her life was the greatest kindness Zach could give her.Kevin commented, "Actually, I think it's odd that the person behind this..."His tone became more serious as he spoke, "Do you know who's behind this, Mr. Jardin? Could it be Cecilia?"Zach stared outside thoughtfully. He said, "Cecilia has grown a little stronger and now she thinks I can't do anything to her. But there's no rush, I'll take back what is mine soon. What has she been doing recently?"Kevin told him, "Every day, Cecilia goes to work for us while trying to buy shares of other shareholders behind our backs. Besides Cecilia, the Young family should have the most shares. If the Young family and Cecilia were to team up, I'm afraid..."Zach put out his cigarette and interrupted him, "She said I was the one who made her this way. She's getting quite ambitious, but she still isn't worthy of taking over the Jardin Corpora
At midnight, Madelyn coughed, and Zach immediately called for the nurse. After the doctors and nurse came in, they gave her a complete body checkup.Zach asked worriedly, "How is she?"The doctor saw the data, and his expression relaxed. He told Zach, "Mrs. Jardin is out of danger, but she'll need to stay in the hospital for observation for a while. If there are no further problems, she can be discharged.""When will she wake up?" Zach asked.The doctor shook his head thoughtfully. He said, "She should be waking up soon. However, there might be other complications based on Mrs. Jardin's previous medical history. This time, she inhaled a large amount of harmful gasses, which may have caused her to be in a coma for a long time. Her condition is still well, so she may wake up in a few days."Zach had heard of this many times. The doctor saw his expression and stopped talking. They then left the sick ward.However, not long after they left, Madelyn regained her consciousness. She cal
