Another glass went flying out of the room, accompanied by an enraged voice. “Madelyn Jent, shut thefuck up already!”
Just as the glass nearly struck Madelyn, someone swiftly pulled her aside. It was Zach, standing by herside, and she blurted out, “Z Zach, what are you doing here at the hospital?” Zach scanned her up anddown with concern. “Are you alright? Did you get hurt?”
“I’m fine.” Madelyn had barely stepped into the room before being promptly expelled. With Forrest’sinjuries, he posed no threat to her well being.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“Not really, just some stomach discomfort, so I decided to come here and have it checked out.”
Zach furrowed his brow. “Are you here to see Forrest?”
Madelyn hesitated briefly before replying, “Bro-Brother… Did you have someone beat up Forrest likethat?”
Zach’s expression darkened. “So, Madelyn thinks I’m that kind of person?”
Madelyn thought to herself, ‘If it’s not Zach, then who could it be? But if it was Zach, he would neverhide it. And if it’s not him, he certainly won’t admit it.”
“No, it’s not…” She swiftly attempted to pacify Zach’s anger. “I thought you had someone confront himon my behalf. But I didn’t realize it wasn’t you.”
“So now you’re upset that I didn’t seek revenge for you?”
Madelyn vigorously shook her head, fear evident in her eyes. “No, that’s not what I meant…”
“Alright, I was just messing with you. Why are you so tense? Should I take you back to school orstraight home?”
Madelyn declined, stating, “I took a leave. I have a piano lesson later, so I’ll just walk there. It’s not toofar.”
Zach glanced at his watch and said, “Okay, be careful on your own. After your piano lesson, rememberto call the driver and don’t wander around.”
“Okay, okay.” Madelyn nodded. She silently speculated that it might be even riskier to accompanyZach.
Madelyn pinched her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. ‘Why do I keep bumping into Zacheverywhere? It’s as if he’s haunting me. Perhaps I should visit Forrest tomorrow instead. It was ratherabrupt to come today…’
Meanwhile, seated in the backseat of the parked Cayenne outside SereneCare Hospital, Ethan gazedat the blue tattoo on his hand and inquired, “George, do you think I look intimidating?” To conceal thetattoo, Ethan always wore long sleeves, ensuring it remained hidden from view.
“Not at all. Right now, Ms. Jent simply doesn’t know you. Once you have a formal introduction. andspend some time together, she will come to understand you. Your serious demeanor naturally gives offan intimidating aura, making most people hesitant to approach. However, when interacting withsomeone like Ms. Jent, who has a pleasant disposition, you can afford to smile more. After all, she’s agirl.”
Ethan held a tablet in his hands, its lock screen wallpaper featuring a candid photo he had discreetlycaptured of Madelyn from the window.
“However…. you should also listen to the doctor’s advice so that you can fully recover.”
“Alright.”
The surgery to address Ethan’s leg condition was scheduled for the following day. George Gibbon,Ethan’s butler, reflected on how Madelyn’s intervention had greatly influenced Ethan’s decision toreturn to the hospital for treatment. ‘Despite Madam’s extensive efforts over the years, she had beenunable to convince Young Master to step outside their home, let alone undergo surgery. Yet, it wassomeone like Ms. Jent, whom he wasn’t acquainted with, who managed to emancipate Young Masterfrom his painful past. One can only fathom the immense importance of Ms. Jent to Young Master.’
As Madelyn exited the hospital, she was taken aback by a call from the Jent family’s chauffeur, whoinformed her that Zach was furious upon discovering that she had left school without keeping himinformed.
Madelyn couldn’t help but curse silently in her mind, ‘It’s Zach Jardin once again!’
