Chapter 746
Madelyn avoided Zach's dark gaze and left swiftly.
Zach, clearly annoyed, came inside, tossing the car keys on the entryway table. He sank into the couch
and lit a cigarette before calling the car service for repairs.
Margaret, seeing Madelyn's hasty exit, hurried upstairs to avoid a potentially irate Zach.
On her phone, Madelyn opened an email with client requests. In her studio, she began preparations,
sure she could finish within the week. Dalton was in his crib, quietly using his pacifier and observing
Madelyn, whom she would occasionally soothe.
"Ms. Jent, you should be careful with that hand. It's not healed, and you might overdo it."
"I know, but everything in this place is his. I need to pull my weight." Just then, her nose started to
bleed, dropping onto her shirt.
"Madelyn, are you okay?" Margaret asked, handing her some tissues.
Madelyn ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. When Zach walked in, his gaze
immediately fell on the drop of blood on the tile. The faint scent of smoke lingered around him. "What
happened?" he asked.
Margaret answered, "I'm not sure. Ms. Jent just had a sudden nosebleed."
From outside the bathroom, Zach heard a noise and quickly went over, knocking. "Madelyn, open the
door!" He called her name several times but received no response. Growing more worried with each
knock, he finally kicked the door open on his third attempt. The broken lock hit the floor, revealing
Madelyn, unconscious. Margaret, who was just a few steps behind him, jumped in surprise.novelbin
"I'll call an ambulance," she said with a shaky voice.
Zach gently picked up Madelyn, his eyes catching the sight of blood on her, causing a chill of fear. As
soon as the ambulance arrived, the paramedics rushed Madelyn to the ER. There, under the bright
lights and wearing an oxygen mask, a sense of déjà vu overcame her. She felt an overwhelming
pressure, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Kai urgently wiped the fresh blood from Madelyn's neck. "Your illness is progressing faster than I
anticipated. How will we handle this? Time is running out for you."
Feeling dazed and lost in thought, Madelyn met Kai's gaze. She whispered, "I... I found the hidden
chamber you mentioned."
As Kai brushed the sweat from Madelyn's forehead, he gave a cold, unsettling smile. "You should've
known about this much earlier. Yet, it's not too late. When Hayson returns, everything will become clear
to you. You'll soon understand your role in all this. When you learn the truth, you'll see just how awful
you really are. When it's over, I'll send you and Hayson straight to hell."
Under the bright lights, Madelyn found it hard to keep her eyes open. "Wh-Who is he?"
