Chapter 845
Madelyn stood anxiously outside the surgery room. “I’ll wait,” she murmured, her fingers growing cold.With each passing moment, the unsettling thought grew: Dalton might be her child.
Dalton was in the room next door when he had a fall. Madelyn had felt like she had a strangeconnection with him. A sudden pain in her heart startled her out of her coma.
In her dream, the child she had seen looked exactly like Dalton, which left her puzzled. She vividlyremembered expecting a daughter in her past life, not a son. ‘Is all of this just in my head?’ shewondered. ‘ It can’t be possible for my child to still be alive.’
Madelyn suddenly felt weak and began to fall. Zach moved quickly, catching her just in time. Shecaught a glimpse of him just before everything turned dark, going limp in his arms.
“Kevin, call Kai! Hurry!” Zach ordered.
Kevin saw the worry on Zach’s face and dialed Kai’s number. Kai was at a research lab but rushed tothe hospital upon receiving the message. As Madelyn’s primary doctor, he examined her. After a fewmoments, he appeared less concerned, indicating that Madelyn was going to be alright.
“She’s okay, but very tired. When she wakes up, make sure she eats something healthy. She shouldrest as much as possible,” Kai advised.
Zach, holding Madelyn’s hand gently, turned his attention to Kevin. “What happened to Dal? He wasfine before. Why is he hurt now?”
Kai looked at Kevin and then turned to Zach. “Don’t be too hard on Kevin. I heard Dal fell from his bedand bumped his nose. It’s a minor injury. After he’s treated, keep an eye on him; kids bounce backquickly.”
Just then, a nurse walked in. “Dr. Stewart, we’ve moved the child to another room.”
Kai nodded quickly. “Thanks.” After the nurse left, Kai turned to Zach. “Don’t you want to see him?”Zach replied, “There’s no need to.”novelbin
Kai observed Zach thoughtfully, ‘I understand why Zach would say that. Marrying Yvonne before reallyloving Madelyn was a big mistake. Zach might be able to make amends, but Madelyn could be reallyupset about Ethan and her guilt. How did she suddenly wake up and sense that the child was introuble? The doctor mentioned it was a close call for Dalton at the hospital. But why does Madelynhave such a strong connection to a child she just welcomed into her family?’ After pondering it, Kaithought, ‘Maybe it’s just the way things unfolded.’
When Margaret returned from her grocery run, she was surprised to hear about Dalton. “Mr. Jardin,”she started cautiously, “I thought Dal was with you, which is why I went out.”
Zach was deeply focused on Madelyn, his visible concern for her far more important than anyfrustration about Dalton’s accident. Watching this, Margaret felt both relieved and guilty. She wasn’tscolded, but she couldn’t rid herself of the sense of responsibility. After Zach requested some oatmeal,she headed to the kitchenette. Consumed by regret, she lightly tapped her cheek while murmuring, “Ishould have returned sooner. Then Dal wouldn’t have been hurt.”
