Zach drove Madelyn to the hospital. Then, he registered for her and escorted her to the emergency room.By the time Madelyn was done, it was nearly three o'clock in the morning.After Zach escorted Madelyn inside, he went outside to answer a call and still had not returned. The nurse removed the IV from Madelyn's arm and said, "Watch what you eat in the future. Your stomach can't handle overly stimulating food, especially spicy ones.""Alright. Thanks."Madelyn did not see Zach in the ward.'It seems like he isn't back yet. He left after picking up the call just now,' she thought.Madelyn left the ward and saw a woman walk out of the washroom. The woman stopped at the ward opposite Madelyn's. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly fainted.Madelyn quickly caught the woman before she hit the ground, "Ma'am?! What's wrong?"The woman was beautiful and had soft facial features. She also smelled faintly of jasmine flowers. However, she seemed weak and frail.The woma
'Liar!' Zach said to himself. After the discharge procedures were complete, Madelyn got into the car. On the way back, neither of them said a word. It was a time when one would usually feel tired, yet Madelyn's mind was awake. 'Zach seemed angry just now. 'Cause he thought I went missing? But why?'Lost in thought, Madelyn leaned back in the car seat and drifted off without realizing it.She didn't know how much time had passed while she was sleeping, but then she felt a tickle on her neck. Moving around a bit, she had a hard time breathing. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zach's hair. A strange sensation went through her like electricity. 'Zach, stop...' She said, sounding kind of alluring even though she was still groggy.Her seat had been reclined, and she couldn't get up no matter how hard she tried. "For heaven's sake, I've just come out of the hospital!"Madelyn gazed out the car window and noticed they were in the garage at Jent residence. Her shirt had been pulled up,
Zach finally got off Madelyn and yelled, "Get lost!"Madelyn put on her shirt and immediately got out of his car, leaving behind the medication she had gotten from the hospital.Rosario was tidying up the living room. When she saw Madelyn rushing inside, looking as if she had cried, she asked, "What's wrong, Madelyn?"Madelyn did not answer and ran upstairs.That night, Madelyn did not see Zach.On the day that Zach and Jadie left, Madelyn was chatting with some of the relatives who had come to visit. She was worried her father would ask her to send them off, so she pretended she did not see them and went to the kitchen.Madelyn spent the day in peace.Madelyn's father personally hosted the Azure Corporation's annual company gala this year. She showed up at the gala with her father as the company's heiress. Madelyn looked stunning and impressed everyone, including the directors who partnered with Azure Corporation.Rather than calling the event an annual company gala, it was mo
"Is there anything else? I'm having dinner right now, so I'll be hanging up if there isn't.""Dinner? Are you with Mr. Arnold?"Madelyn looked in Ethan's direction and was coincidentally met with his gaze."Mhm," she replied."Madelyn, Zach and I are together now!""That's great, congratulations." Madelyn said indifferently. Her tone was devoid of emotion."We'll get your blessings, right?""Mhm.""Thank you, Madelyn!"'So he's finally gotten what he wanted and got together with Jadie?' thought Madelyn.She thought bitterly, 'It turns out Zach really can give up everything for a person. And the only one who could make him do that is Jadie. Initially, Zach could've gotten together with Yvonne and used the Young family to take over the Jent family. He could've easily done all of this with his capabilities. In fact, he could've built his own business empire that rivaled the Jent family's. There was no need for him to use such lowly tactics and stain his own reputation... Now tha
As the new semester began, the pressure to study grew. There was a test on the very first day of class. By the time they finished their test, classes were over.It was around three in the afternoon when they finished their test, so everyone went home. Most students from Ventrocloud High School were locals, and students rarely lived on school grounds. Even the students from out of town would instead choose to rent a room outside the school grounds.As Madelyn was packing her bags and getting ready to leave, Albert came over to call her to the office. When she arrived at the office, she asked, "You called for me, Mr. Newton?""Wait a minute, "Albert said as he rummaged through the drawers, searching for god knows what. After a while, he took out a set of assessment papers, "Madelyn, are you interested in joining the Math Olympiad team? There'll be a competition next month. If you are interested, I can make an exception and have you enter the examination hall as a reserve contestant."
Forrest tapped his plate with a skewer stick and said, "Stop interrupting. I'm asking you a question!"Madelyn answered, "It's nothing. My brother had a stomachache, so I accompanied him to the hospital."When Madelyn lied, she lowered her head and avoided looking at others. Forrest knew this and deduced something from this, 'After strolling around the street market and having eaten so much, she ended up at the hospital that night. She probably got food poisoning.'Then, Forrest shouted at the stall owner, "Cancel the other food we ordered.""Why!? I'm not full yet!" Madelyn shouted back at him."I'm going to bring you somewhere with better food," Forrest said."Then you should have left some for me," Madelyn said.Suddenly, Forrest grabbed a fistful of barbecue skewers before running off. He had left Madelyn with only a half-eaten sausage in her hand. The stall owner quickly came over, fearing they would dine and dash. "Hey, kids, you haven't paid yet!""It's fine, I'll pay. H
It was almost four o'clock when they finished their meal and returned. Coincidentally, the Arnold family's private vehicle had arrived to fetch her back home. When Madelyn got in the car, her phone vibrated. Ethan had sent her a message.Ethan wrote: [The weather's been getting cold recently. Remember to layer up. Do you need George to add some blankets for you at night?]Madelyn read the message and replied: [No need, it's not that cold.]After she sent her message, Ethan did not reply. Madelyn sent another message to him: [I've just finished my classes. I'll be going back first.]Ethan replied: [Why so early today? I'll have the chauffeur pick you up.]Madelyn wrote: [Mhm, right after I received my textbooks and finished my entrance exams, school was already over. I also met up with Forrest to have a meal.]Ethan's gaze while staring at the phone deepened. He replied with a single word: [Okay.]He then typed: [I have a meeting. We'll meet later at night.]Madelyn replied: [Al
"Did something happen to Ethan?" Madelyn asked."I don't know, madam." the servant said.Madelyn knew she would not get any information from them. Then, Madelyn called Leyton. After a while, someone picked up the call, "Ms. Jent?""Are you guys working overtime?" Madelyn asked.Leyton stared at the person with an IV drip in the hospital room. He hesitated momentarily before answering, "Mr. Arnold is in a meeting and will be back later. You don't need to wait for him, Ms. Jent.""Since Ms. Jent still has classes tomorrow, it would be best to go to bed early," Leyton said. Leyton's tone was obviously weird. She also heard people crying from the other end, and it was pretty noisy there.At eleven o'clock at night, a servant advised Madelyn, " Ms. Jent, you shouldn't wait! It's normal for Mr. Arnold not to come back for a night. If you wait any longer, it won't be good for your health."Madelyn continued to sit cross-legged next to the sofa and worked on her exercises with a pen in
