Chapter 952

Madelyn cautiously approached Zach and realized that he was just lying still. She figured that givenhow vigilant he was, he would have been awake when she was this close.

Madelyn reached out to touch him, “Z-Zach?” she called out to him softly.

At this moment, Zach abruptly opened his eyes. The hostility in his eyes startled Madelyn. In the nextsecond, he forcefully grabbed her hand and threw her onto the bed. After that, he went on top of her.

Madelyn was like a frightened puppy, feeling lost and scared. Zach then placed her head next to herear, and she could hear his faint breath, as if he had fallen asleep.novelbin

“Zach, you’re hurting me. Get up.”

Zach stayed still.

Very soon, Madelyn felt that something was wrong. His body was scorching.

She looked down on her light-colored nightgown and found out that it had been dyed red with freshblood. She suddenly held her breath and noticed that Zach had not treated his wound on his neck,which was already festering.

‘Is it infected and causing him a fever?

‘No wonder he didn’t respond to me at all.’ Madelyn thought to herself.

“Zach, wake up. Let me go. You’re hurting me!”

“Hey, you pig! Wake up!”

No matter how loud Madelyn shouted, Zach showed no response at all. However, his arm was stilltightly wrapped around her waist.

“Ethan, you’re back!”

As soon as Madelyn said that, Zach suddenly opened his eyes, lifted his ferocious eyes, and stared ather. He breathed rapidly, and the strong, unpleasant scent of cigarette emanated from his body. “You’renot going anywhere!” He seemed to be suppressing discomfort as he uttered those words in a low,hoarse voice.

He was going to kiss Madelyn, but Madelyn was fueled by an unexpected burst of strength that helpedher to push him away effortlessly. Madelyn could finally catch her breath after Zach got off her. Evenso, Zach’s grip on her wrist had not loosened at all.

She lifted her other hand and tried to pull his hand away, but he just would not budge at all. Madelynbegan to suspect that Zach might be pretending to be unconscious.

After a few attempts, she finally gave up.

Now that he was sick, it was the perfect opportunity for her to leave. If she were to wait for him to wakeup, who knew when the next chance would come.

“Zach, you’re sick. I’ll go get medicine for you,” Madelyn said.

This seemed to work, as she felt Zach loosening his grip on her hand.

Madelyn pulled her hand away and rubbed her wrist.

She began rummaging through cabinets, looking for her ID and passport. She would not be able to goanywhere without these documents.

After searching for about half an hour, she went into the study.

Under where Zach kept his important files, Madelyn found her ID. Then, the phone beside his computercaught her attention.

Madelyn glanced nervously at the open door before picking up the phone. Zach’s phone was notlocked by any password, so she could easily gain access to it.

She opened the contacts application on his phone, found Kevin’s number, and sent him a textmessage. After editing it several times, she finally managed to text in a manner similar to Zach: [Sendme Mya Harper’s location.]

She hit the send button.

Kevin had just finished a small meeting and was surprised to see Zach sending him a text messagebecause they usually communicated through calls.
