Chapter 750
Hayson sat there with an oxygen mask on his face, having recently suffered a stroke. His facialfeatures appeared normal, his hand was frozen in a peculiar position, and he was unable to speak. Hecould not even eat on his own, and all he could do was sit in a wheelchair.
His little daughter, just three and a half years old, looked strikingly like Jasmine and sat shyly
behind her.
Even though four years had passed, Jasmine looked ageless, radiating an even more mature andcaptivating presence. She was dressed in a dark blue gown decorated with white pear blossom petals,her lips were a soft pink, and her once long hair was now styled in short, loose curls. She also wore apair of pearl earrings.
Margaret, usually a chatterbox, was notably silent that day.
Jasmine remained as arrogant and prideful as she always had. She said while holding her littledaughter’s hand, “Madelyn, it’s been years since we last met, and you’ve only grown more beautiful.This is my daughter, by the way-Samantha Jent. We call her Sammy.”
She then said to the little girl, “Sammy, she’s your older sister, Madelyn.”
Samantha took a step forward and called out to Madelyn with a soft voice, “H-Hello, Madelyn.

Madelyn felt as if a knife was stabbing through her heart. She did not say a word, took a step back, andleft the room.
She initially thought that everything would be fine as long as her father came back, even if he would actlike he used to be.
But now everything that Kai said had come true; “Hayson will never come back as a complete person.”
Zach went to her room. Then, he saw Madelyn sitting on the bed while pulling her hair with her headdown. His heart suddenly sank a little.
He stepped forward and stared at her. “Your father is back. Isn’t that what you wanted? Why are youstill feeling so down?”
Ever since Zach took her back to Ventropolis, she had worn this nonchalant expression, and her eyeswere devoid of emotion.
She was a living person, sitting right in front of Zach, but he felt like that was not her at all. He could nottell what was not right. Although he tried his best to restore everything to exactly the way it had beensince she left the Jent residence, she still acted the same way.
Zach always wanted to keep her by his side, but he just felt like he had never truly captured her.
“I’m talking to you! Speak!” His tone suddenly turned stern.
“There’s nothing to say. How could I ever criticize you for anything you do? I’m fine, leave me alone…Just carry on with your business. I’m still feeling a little dizzy and I need some rest.” Madelyn lifted herhead and spoke. Her eyes looked a little red as she added, “Zach, would you please go out for a while?I want to spend some time alone. Please.”
Zach could not do anything to her right now, so he said as his gaze darkened, “I’ll give you
half an hour, and then come downstairs for dinner.”
“I…” Madelyn wanted to tell him that she was not hungry.
However. She looked at his hostile gaze and changed her mind. “Okay,” she replied softly.
Hayson was wheeled downstairs by the maids, taking his place at the long dining table. The seatinghad changed; the table that used to accommodate only three people, not counting Jadie, was now filledwith several others.novelbin
Though Hayson sat in the center, he was no longer the one who could preside over dinner. Zach tookhis usual spot at the head of the table on the right, and the seat next to him, once belonging to Jadie,remained unfilled. Even his wife, Yvonne, didn’t have the privilege to claim that seat.
Jasmine held Samantha in her arms.
Everyone was seated, quietly waiting for someone to arrive. As half an hour ticked by, the food on thetable had turned cold.
