Madelyn began to sit up. “Okay, I’ll take the medicine, just let Ethan go,” she said. Zach helped her sit
and showed her a pill.
“I can do it,” she said, trying to grab the pill.
Zach shook his head. “I’ve got this.”

Seeing Zach’s stern look, Madelyn hesitated briefly before accepting the white pill. As she did, eyes
flashed with a deeper intensity. When she tried to take a sip of water, he abruptly took the glass away
and overwhelmed her with a passionate kiss.
Concerned about Ethan, Madelyn didn’t push Zach away.
Being mindful of her injuries, Zach was careful in his approach. Madelyn, though, was clearly
uncomfortable, her teeth gritted with every move he made. Zach noticed and kept trying to find a better
position for her, but in the end, exhaustion took over Madelyn.
Every time after, Zach would clean her up and take care of her.
Hayson was supposed to be back in Ventropolis in three days, but a major rainstorm delayed his
flights. Madelyn saw Ethan return to the Young residence.
After Madelyn spent three days in the hospital, Zach found himself overwhelmed with work. Realizing
he had no one at home to look after Madelyn, he opted to have her stay at Southern Haven Villas
rather than Floral Loft.
At the Young residence, Frida gazed at Ethan, lying injured on his bed and barely breathing. Tears
streamed down her face as she buried it in her hands. The recent events had aged her, leaving her
looking visibly older and exhausted. She was thinner, with pronounced, shadowed
eyes.
That afternoon, Margaret visited, assuming the child with Madelyn was hers. With Zach away and the
weather pleasant, Madelyn relaxed outside, soaking in the sun and reminiscing.
“Ms. Jent! Long time no see! Who’s this little guy with you? Reminds me of when my son was young,
though he’s now grown and still causing me headaches.”
Madelyn said, “He isn’t my son.”
Margaret looked surprised. “Really? Those eyes are so much like yours. I was sure he was your
child.” novelbin
Madelyn felt a pang of nostalgia hearing Margaret’s gossipy tone. Margaret nudged Dalton closer and
pointed at its eyes. “Look at these eyes – they’re just like yours.”
Though Dalton did bear some resemblance to Madelyn, she was sure he couldn’t be her child. Being
only a few months old, his distinctive features were still developing. “Maybe there’s some family
resemblance,” she said, engaging Dalton in a game of peekaboo. Her mind then wandered, “By the
way, where’s Jadie? What happened after I left?”
Margaret let out a sigh. “I don’t really know all the details about Jadie. But not long after you left,
Yvonne Young fired me. She was heartless, even keeping half of my pay. Cost me many. sleepless
nights.”
A gentle smile graced Madelyn’s face. “Don’t stress over it. I’ll cover that money for you.”
