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 forthis 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 warmyou 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 hershoulders.
“Stay put for a bit, okay? Don’t go anywhere. I’ll come find you soon. Just be patient.”
Madelyn barely had time to react when Kai, slightly frazzled by their
close interaction, said, “You two could be a bit more mindful of others
around you.”
Zach said, “Keep an eye on her. If anything happens, it’s on you.”
Kai replied, “Relax. She’s not going to vanish into thin air.”
Once Zach was gone, Madelyn’s demeanor transformed as she gently touched her cheek,remembering Zach’s touch. “I bumped into
Yvonne.”
Kai paused at her words while he was fetching a new, unused blanket for the couch. “You reallyshouldn’t be meeting with her, Madelyn. It’s best for you to stay away. Zach’s past is still a touchysubject, and she’s in a bad state. She’s been disfigured, so there’s no telling what she’ll do out ofdesperation.”
Madelyn held the warm cup, her fingers tracing the glass. “I’m aware. I just needed to ask hersomething.”
“I understand you want to ask about Ethan’s location, but there’s
something she’s keeping under wraps. Don’t worry though, I’m on it.
I’m trying to slowly coax Ethan’s whereabouts out of her. We need to
play it cool, especially around Zach.”
Madelyn nodded in agreement. “Got it. And thanks for last night’s
help.”
Kai’s smile broadened. “Don’t mention it. How about joining us for
dinner? Lana’s almost done with her check-up. I’ve had the caretaker whip up some of your favoritedishes.”
About thirty minutes later, having wrapped up his paperwork, Kai led
the way to dinner. The lower level housed Kai and Lana’s living
quarters, a cozy setup within the hospital. Space was one thing the hospital had plenty of.
As they descended the stairs, they noticed that Lana was conspicuously absent. Kai asked about herwhereabouts, and the caretaker informed him, “Mrs. Stewart mentioned she wanted to go on a briefwalk nearby, and she hasn’t returned yet. I’ll bring Mrs.
Stewart back soon.”
“Don’t worry, I’m aware of where she might be.” Kai turned to Madelyn. “Go ahead and start your meal.I’ll come back quickly.”
Madelyn, familiar from her previous visits, was well-known to the caretaker.novelbin
“Mrs. Jardin, perhaps you’d like to start with some fruit? Dinner will be ready in a little while,” thecaretaker said.
Madelyn responded with a gentle nod and a smile.
Shortly after Kai left, a nurse wearing a mask appeared at the door. She knocked and. said, “Mrs.Jardin, we’ve processed your medical check-up, but there’s a glitch with the blood test results. We’llneed you to come back for another test.”
