Margaret replied, “She didn’t provide a name, ,but judging by her voice, it seemed like a youngwoman.”
Madelyn had always been accustomed to solitude and wasn’t skilled in socializing. Therefore, Margaretrefrained from accepting the invitation on Madelyn’s behalf. She simply informed the caller that shewould pass on the message.
Madelyn opened the invitation card and took a look. Without even needing to read the name below, shecould tell from the handwriting that it was from Mya. She thought, ‘After all these years, her handwritingis still the same… A birthday party?’
Zach entered from outside and asked, Are you considering going? I’ll go with you.”
“I’ll decide later,” Madelyn responded. She set down the invitation card with its elegant gold embossing.She checked the date and saw that it was scheduled for a week later.
She thought, ‘It looks like Kennedy is back as well. Apart from him, no one knows I’m back in theVenturia.’
Madelyn returned to her room and changed out of her black dress. With Margaret looking after Dalton,she could finally relax. Feeling quite tired, she lay down on the bed for a brief nap.
Zach also went to bed at some point, although she wasn’t aware of it. Madelyn was sleeping soundlyand continued to do so as the sky outside gradually darkened.
Zach awoke before Madelyn did. He observed her peacefully sleeping and kindly pulled the blanketover her before silently leaving the room, closing the door behind him. A servant happened to be in thecorridor and said, “Mr. Jardin, dinner is ready.”
Zach fastened his pajamas and responded, “I’ll be there in a little while.”

In the dimly lit room with only the bedside lamp on, Zach sat atthe bedside, gently wiping her tears away. Upon seeing her awaken, he softly asked “Have anightmare?”
Madelyn did not respond. She just stared at him for a long time. She thought, ‘When he lovessomeone, he can shower her with the most precious gifts and whisper sweet, romantic words. When hedoesn’t love someone, he can push her into a corner.’
To her, all the tenderness he displayed was fake.
As she met his intense gaze, she snapped back to reality. She replied, I’m fine,” quickly changing thesubject, ????” go check on Dal.” She started to prop herself up in bed. As she prepared to lift the blanketto get out, Zach suddenly took hold of her wrist. He used only gentle force but managed to draw herinto his embrace, saying, What can I do to make you feel better?
