Madelyn cautiously approached Zach and realized that he was just lying still. She figured that given how vigilant he was, he would have been awake when she was this close.Madelyn reached out to touch him, "Z-Zach?" she called out to him softly.At this moment, Zach abruptly opened his eyes. The hostility in his eyes startled Madelyn. In the next second, he forcefully grabbed her hand and threw her onto the bed. After that, he went on top of her.Madelyn was like a frightened puppy, feeling lost and scared. Zach then placed her head next to her ear, and she could hear his faint breath, as if he had fallen asleep."Zach, you're hurting me. Get up."Zach stayed still.Very soon, Madelyn felt that something was wrong. His body was scorching.She looked down on her light-colored nightgown and found out that it had been dyed red with fresh blood. She suddenly held her breath and noticed that Zach had not treated his wound on his neck, which was already festering.'Is it infected and
At first, Kevin did not think too much of it and sent a location without asking any questions.However, he received a reply after a few seconds.Madelyn was both angry and surprised. She knew that Zach could be shameless, but not to this point. Mya was at Floral Loft, yet Zach had lied to her, saying that she was in the Ventropolis Prison. 'What a jerk!' Madelyn cursed inwardly.Madelyn took her ID and went out of the study. She glared at the unconscious man on the bed and took the chance to slap him twice across the face.Then, she immediately packed some of her belongings and ran out of the house. After that, she told George to drive her to Floral Loft.Meanwhile, Mya was still unaware of what was happening. She was eating cupcakes, one after another. As for Blake, she sat at the side and watched a new variety show featuring her idol."Mya, you've been eating for days. Are you not going to cut it down a little? You won't be able to lose any weight if you keep eating," Blake sai
Blake cautiously went to the door and peeked through the cat's eye. She was surprised to see that person outside the door.She opened the door and asked, "Madelyn, what brought you here?""Hm? Madelyn? Is Madelyn here?"Mya's eyes instantly lit up. She did not even bother finishing the snacks in her hands as she hastily put on her shoe and went outside. She hugged Madelyn and said, "Madelyn, I missed you so much. What took you so long to come here?"Madelyn was a little out of breath from the hug. "Mya, when did you start living here?""I forgot, Madelyn, come inside with me!" Mya dragged Madelyn into the house, but Madelyn refused to move."It's fine. I'm here to tell you something. Mya, you've got to go home now. Your mom and dad are..." Madelyn hesitated and stopped talking.'Mya is lucky to be alive. Judging by how she looks, she probably doesn't know that she has been deceived by Fred.' Madelyn thought to herself."What's with Mom and Dad? Are they angry because I spent to
Madelyn sat in the backseat to take a nap. She woke up when the car hit a bump and saw completely unfamiliar surroundings. She asked, "Where are we now, mister?""This is Southgate City. We're almost at Martinsburg. It'll take around 40 minutes," The taxi driver answered.Madelyn requested, "Drop me off here."The taxi driver was shocked, "Don't you want to reach Marisburg? You've already paid for the fare, and I won't be returning it."Madelyn replied, "Mhm, that's fine."The taxi driver was pleased and left her at a busy market. By the time Zach wakes up, he would definitely assume she was at Marisburg. Madelyn needed to stay and hide here for a while before returning when the coast was clear. After Madelyn got out of the taxi, she went to a motel that did not require any identification for a room."Young lady, it seems you've come to Southgate City alone to look for a job. If you want a job, I can introduce you to it. As long as you work hard, five or six thousand a month shou
Kai helped him dress the wound and apply the medication. After giving Zach his IV drop and seeing Zach's body temperature drop, it was already eleven at night.Lana was staying in the room reserved for family members of doctors. She had ordered supper and brought some over. Then, she asked Kai, "Is he okay?"Kai put down the magazine and rubbed his temples before saying, "He's much better now. He might wake up later. I'll have to look after him just in case he goes crazy. You should go and rest since it's already so late."Lana grabbed a stool, but Kai swiftly snatched it and placed it beside him. She sat and said, "I'll keep you company for a while. I'll leave when he wakes up."Kai smiled faintly and held her hand over his lap, "Then you can keep me company for half an hour."Lana nodded her head and agreed, "Sure."After Kevin had finished handling some affairs, he went to Floral Loft. He found out that Mya was missing, and so was Blake. As he drove to SereneCare Hospital, Kev
Kevin rebuked, "But we still need you to come in and handle the business affairs!""I told you to find her!" Zach shouted.Kevin pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, sir."Kai chuckled and commented, "You don't even want your company anymore. You should've done this a long time ago."Before Madelyn could eat dinner, she fell asleep on the bed. Until she heard a faint noise coming from the door. A woman whispered, "I'm telling you, this woman is something else!" As she talked to the other person, she raised her thumb. It was the motel owner.The other person was an overweight woman with poorly applied makeup over her face. She was holding a cigarette while a few men were behind her. She replied, "Rest assured, I'll pay you accordingly if she is up to my standards.""You don't need to worry about that. If not, why would I call you, right?" The motel owner assured her.The fat woman gave the men behind her a signal, and one of them immediately lit a cigarette and threw it through the
Those girls were helpless and in pain, and there was even one who had gone crazy, laughing loudlyMadelyn asked, "Make money? How can I make money?"Seeing Madelyn's compromise, Laura instructed someone to release her. She thought, 'She also knows that even if I free her, there's nowhere for her to escape.'Madelyn remained remarkably calm. She had never encountered these before, and to say she was not scared would be false. However, with no one to help her now, Madelyn had to figure things out herself. She had not expected to go from the frying pan into the fire.Laura bent and patted Madelyn's face, "It's simple. Just please those men and you can make money!"Seeing Madelyn not resisting, Laura thought she had found a treasure. She had dealt with many women and knew how to satisfy their vanity, using their beauty to make money. So, Laura took Madelyn to the ladies' dormitory in the club and presented her with a pile of high-end cosmetics, clothes, and handbags.She said, "Rest
They thoroughly searched every corner of Ventropolis, tracing the route to Marisburg, and did not overlook any neighboring cities. Upon receiving the missing persons case, police stations received orders, and officers mobilized immediately.In addition, the security company Zach instructed also went all out to locate Madelyn. It was a comprehensive search, and they almost turned Ventropolis upside down.Zach stayed up all night, patiently waiting for her news the next day. Kai spoke up because he could not stand it anymore, "I know you're worried about her, but skipping rest and medication won't help. If you keep going like this, you'll be a goner before we find Maddie."Zach remained unmoved, eyes closed, tightly clutching the ring. Kai never imagined that when Zach fell for someone, he would become so crazy that he did not even care about his life. At this rate, he would end up killing himself.Kai assisted him with the medication. Just then, Kevin entered, holding something in h
