Chapter 938

Madelyn had all the servants clear the room, leaving only Margaret. Margaret brought a glass of water

and set it in front of Grace. Then, Madelyn asked gravely, "When did Mya disappear?"

Grace sobbed, "It's been almost half a month. That night, Mya slept at home after she took her

medication. But the next morning, she was gone! The maid found a note on the table saying Mya had

been taken away. We already reported it to the police, and they said they'd do their best to find her. But

until now... we still don't know where Mya is.

"We paid to have people investigate, and they found out that the person who took her away is someonenovelbin

we can't afford to provoke: a man from the Turner family named Fred. He's a prison warden in

Ventropolis Prison. Mya may be a bit simple-minded and easily bullied, but she has never gone out to

provoke anyone.

"We have no idea how she could have crossed paths with him. Ms. Jent, I really have no other choice.

If there were another way, I would not have come to trouble you. I'm begging you, Ms. Jent. Please

save Mya.

"If this drags on, I'm afraid she will be tortured to death by those people! She's my only daughter!"

Madelyn handed Grace a tissue to wipe her tears and comforted her, "Mrs. Harper, leave it to me. I'll

find Mya."

Grace pleaded, "As long as you can help me find Mya, I will do anything you ask of me in return for

saving her life."

Madelyn reassured, "I promise you, Mya is my friend. I won't abandon her."

After hearing Madelyn's assurance, Grace felt more at ease and said, "Mya's fortunate to have a friend

like you."

Madelyn said, "Mya has saved me in the past. Now it's my turn. It's only right."

After escorting Grace out, Margaret hesitantly spoke up, "Ms. Jent, are you sure about this? It could be

a trap. And the person involved is... I think we should let Mr. Jardin deal with it."

When Grace mentioned the Turner family, Madelyn had already guessed that the person involved was

Fred. But Madelyn could not understand why Fred would take Mya away, especially by breaking into

the Harper family's villa so recklessly. It was no wonder Fred could partner up with Zach.

Madelyn clenched her fist and rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She thought, 'No

one could rescue Mya from Fred's hands except Zach.'

Seeing Madelyn distressed, Margaret quickly asked, "Ms. Jent, are you not feeling well?"

Madelyn resisted the headache and stood up from the couch. She said, "I'm fine. I'll be in my room."

Back at Jardin Corporation, Zach removed his Bluetooth earpiece as he watched the video feed of

Madelyn holding the railing and ascending the stairs step by step.

Kevin realized that Zach had left the "fool" at Floral Loft for a reason. Fortunately, she was behaving by

spending her days eating or sleeping.

The video feed abruptly ended. Zach fiddled with his phone, waiting for something.

Madelyn was unsure whether the sound of the door opening woke Dalton up. He was awake when she

entered the room. Upon seeing Madelyn, Dalton immediately scrambled up, his hands grasping the

bed's side rails unsteadily as he stood up. He was reaching out for a hug with his cooing.

Madelyn reached out to pick him up. Then, she checked his diaper before setting him down on the

playing mat to play with him for a while. Dalton contentedly leaned against her chest, nibbling on her

clothes, leaving a wet patch on her chest.

Madelyn seemed distracted, gazing out the window. After peeking inside, Margaret left without

disturbing Madelyn and closed the door gently behind her.

Eventually, Madelyn retrieved her usual phone and sent a message to a familiar number.

[Do you know Fred?]

A response came within seconds of sending the message: [What Fred? Who are you? Why are you

messaging my boyfriend?]

Then, the person called. Madelyn confirmed it was Kennedy's number.
