The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 788
Kevin held a black umbrella as he followed Zach. Zach was dressed in a black coat over a black suit,exuding a chilling aura as he strode in. He still had his phone call with Madelyn.
Kai entered the foyer alongside them. Once inside, Kevin closed the umbrella. A servant took Zach’scoat as he removed it and hung it on a coat rack. Zach exchanged some words with Kevin beforemaking his way to Madelyn, who was standing at the foot of the stairs.
Madelyn was taken by surprise to see Zach. Her face remained neutral as he approached. She handedher phone, still on the line, to Margaret and turned away without making eye contact, heading back toher room with Dalton in her arms.
Inside the room, Dalton had a flushed face and felt feverish. Kai, wearing a stethoscope around hisneck, was examining him. Madelyn wondered if it had to do with their walk in the garden the nightbefore.
Initially, she had thought it was just a regular cough, but after two days, her concerns had grown,prompting her to want to take him to the hospital.
Kai glanced thoughtfully at Zach, then calmly assured Madelyn, “The child is fine. It’s just a commoncold. I’ll give him a fever-reducing shot, and he’ll be okay.”
With gentle precision, Kai withdrew a fine needle and inserted it into the back of Dalton’s hand.Madelyn was puzzled. “If it’s just a common cold, couldn’t he just take some medicine? Why does heneed a shot?”
Kai, still focused on his task, didn’t respond. Zach held Madelyn’s waist and spoke tenderly, “Don’tworry. Trust him. He won’t make a mistake.”
Kai finally replied, “If you’re still concerned, you can take the child to the hospital. Also, your medicalreport will be ready in three days. You won’t have to go to the hospital specifically for that.”
Zach added, “Let’s prepare some clothes; we’ll head to the hospital later. Madelyn frowned, herconcern deepening. She had a growing sense that both Kai and Zach were keeping something fromher.
She thought, ‘These two bastards are cunning.’
Furious, she shook off Zach’s hand. You told me not to leave the house, and now you want me to packand head to the hospital. You’re the one making all the decisions! If you’re so concerned, then you takecare of the child,” she snapped, and she stormed downstairs. Margaret sensed that something wasamiss and quickly followed her.
Left alone in the room, Zach and Kai engaged in a serious conversation. “Are you truly not planning toinform her about this?” Kai asked, his tone equally serious. Zach replied firmly, “She doesn’t need toknow.”
Kai replied, “I’ve said it before, keeping Cecilia by your side is trouble. Now, she’s already hurtsomeone around you. And someday, she’ll target Madelyn.”
Zach said, “I know how to handle it. How’s the child?”
Kai answered, “Luckily, we discovered it in time. If the toxins had spread to his vital organs even a fewdays later, the consequences could have been catastrophic. The antidote seems to be working, andwith a few more days of treatment, his condition should improve significantly.”
Zach simply nodded. He couldn’t believe that Cecilia’s greed would lead her to harm an innocent child.Madelyn had followed through on her words and was keeping her distance from Dalton, leaving Zach
as the one who had to care for him. He even brought the child to the company.
Madelyn was finally getting a chance to relax at home. The heating made the environment cozy, a trayof fresh fruits within arm’s reach. The TV was playing a show she wasn’t particularly interested in. Shewore a simple knitted dress and was so comfortable that she was on the verge of falling asleep.
At Jardin Corporation’s high-level executive meeting, Zach held Dalton with one arm while attentivelylistening to the various department heads’ reports.novelbin
