Chapter 438
Madelyn had initially expected to face Hayson’s scolding, but it seemed he was not at home since
Jasmine was pregnant. Zach mentioned that she had been pregnant for over two months, and Hayson
was confident that it was his child. Hayson had taken Jasmine to Sinagora to ensure a healthy
pregnancy, so Madelyn would be the only one left at home from now on.
‘It turns out that Father hasn’t cared about my well-being these past few days.’ The expectations she
had disappeared in an instant.
Approaching the familiar yet unfamiliar living room, Rosario came over with teary eyes. “Madelyn,
you’ve been through so much these past few days…”
Madelyn looked at her with indifference. ‘I don’t understand. If Rosario truly cared for me and treated
me like her child, why would she put something in my milk? And now she has to pretend to care about
me! What’s the reason for all of this?’
Rosario was also one of Zach’s trusted individuals, which left Madelyn wary about who around her was
truly sincere toward her. She discreetly evaded Rosario’s hand, and even her gaze toward her seemed
like that of a stranger. Facing Rosario, Madelyn was at a loss for words. She headed upstairs, unable
to accept the idea that someone like Rosario, whom she considered family, could betray her.
Zach left, but before leaving, he asked Margaret to take good care of Madelyn. She was still
emotionally unstable, so Zach had Rosario stay at Grand Court instead.
After they left, Madelyn immediately grabbed a pile of snacks and bread before going into her room and
locking herself in. She was afraid someone might come in, so she used everything she could find,
including bedside tables, desks, and chairs, to block the doors.
Madelyn’s words and actions were abnormal and uncontrollable. She was afraid she was going insane.
She knew what she was doing and did not want to be this way, but she just wanted to use this method
to isolate and heal herself so she could escape the emotional emptiness she felt.
“There’s no one who can save me now except myself.”
Madelyn closed the curtains. It was only when the room plunged into darkness that she felt safe.
At mealtime, Margaret carried the dishes upstairs and knocked on the door. However, there was no
response, even after several attempts.
The room had good soundproofing. Apart from the knocking on the door, Madelyn could not hear any
voices from outside even after the knocking had stopped.
In the evening, Zach brought Jadie to the Jent residence. Jadie passed her backpack to the servant
and asked, “Zach, can I go check on Madelyn?”
Before Zach could respond, Margaret hesitated and said, “Mr. Jardin, after Ms. Jent returned, she
grabbed some snacks, went into her room, and hasn’t come downstairs since. She hasn’t touched a
single bite of the meal I prepared for her.”
Suddenly, Zach connected Madelyn’s living situation in her rental apartment with what Kai had
mentioned.
‘Madelyn has severe depression. It’s evident from the medication she’s taking.” novelbin
“I’ll go check on her,” he said.
Jadie said, “I’ll go with you.”
“No, just wait downstairs.” Then, Zach thought of something and picked up his phone to make a call.
“What’s up? Spit it out. I’m busy.” Kai picked up the line after half a minute. He looked at the woman he
had pinned against the wall, with one hand gripping her waist and the other answering the phone,
Zach asked, “How is depression treated?”
