Madelyn did not respond to Zach’s query. He approached and sat beside her, his deep gaze followingher line of sight before darkening.
“I’ve arranged everything with the photoshoot company,” Zach began, breaking the silence. Onceyou’re better, the custom wedding dresses from overseas will arrive in the capital. We can try them onthen.”
Zach reached for Madelyn’s hand, but she swiftly withdrew it. She said, “Zach, stop it already! Youprocessed our marriage certificate on my behalf without acknowledging me. You’ve achieved your goal.So, stop seeking my attention.”novelbin
Zach, undeterred by Madelyn’s words, said, “The PR department will announce our marriage. Soon,everyone in the capital will know you’re the wife of the CEO of Jardin Corporation.”
“Zach! Do you realize how people viewed our relationship in the past? You were my father’s adoptedson, my brother. Now that he’s gone and we are married, do you know how others will judge us?”Madelyn asked.
When Madelyn married Zach in the previous lifetime, she wanted to tell everyone she was his wife, buthe was unwilling. Being married to her seemed like a humiliation to him. Now, when she was unwillingand had given up on him, he wanted to do that.
“You don’t need to care about them. All you have to do is attend the company’s annual
meeting with me after the wedding photoshoot,” said Zach.
Madelyn suspected Zach intended to provoke her deliberately.
He gently stroked Madelyn’s hair. He softened his gaze and said, “Get some rest.”
Then Zach stood to leave and coughed a few times, showcasing his unwell condition. Madelyn noticedZach’s illness seemed persistent. Even his palm felt feverishly hot.
Zach went to his study. He slumped in his chair and gazed at the ceiling. Beside him were two bottlesof white pills. They were medications given by Kai to suppress emotions.
Kai had warned him, “This medication is effective, but it may affect fertility. However, it won’t impactyour ability. I suggest using the original medicine. Mental illness isn’t like a common cold that heals in afew days. It requires a long recovery.”
Zach ultimately chose the medication with side effects. To win Madelyn back, Zach had expendedmuch effort.
“Zach, run…”
“D-Don’t hurt him.”
The sounds of agony filled Zach’s ears, and the thatched hut was covered in blood. He looked backand saw a fiercely intense fire raging. Everyone was caught in the blaze, struggling in pain andtorment.
“Helen!”
Zach woke from the nightmare, sweating and disoriented. It was dark outside, except for the dim light inthe study. His heart raced as if a giant hand was squeezing it. It had been a while since he had such avivid dream.
Zach stepped out of the study and immediately noticed a lingering smell of grilled food in the bedroom.He frowned subtly, observing the sleeping figure in the dim moonlight. He lay down beside Madelyn.
Madelyn was in a deep, muddled sleep. Though her fever had subsided, she still felt miserable with athrobbing headache and dizziness. Suddenly, she felt someone embracing her. She shifteduncomfortably and said, “My head! It hurts!”
She began to feel better after she felt a gentle pressure massaging her temples, soothing herdiscomfort. Then, she was able to sleep soundly, but having gone to bed early, she awoke at midnightand could not fall back asleep.
As Madelyn moved, she felt a hand on her head, massaging gently.
