“Zach Jardin!” Madelyn angrily raised her hand and swung it at his face.
However, to her surprise, Zach grabbed her wrist tightly and said sarcastically, “Raising your hand towards me… you’re being naughty again!” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Madelyn struggled to break free from his grasp. Her gaze was steely, “I will never bow down to you. You can do whatever you want! From now on, I’ll never beg you for anything ever again.”
She felt extremely naive. Zach’s goal was to see her suffer as she tried to live helplessly for the Jent family. To think that she would stoop so low as to beg him for help! She must have gone insane!
As they walked through the living room, Hayson was having a meal with Jasmine.
“Father, Aunt Jasmine!” Madelyn called out.
Hayson answered without raising his head, “Where’s Zach?”
Zach called out to him, “Father.”
Hayson continued, “Just in time; I’m having a meal with your Aunt Jasmine. Come over and let us eat together.”
Zach refused, “No need. I’ve sent Madelyn back. I still need to take a trip to the company, and I have a meeting later.”
Hayson put down the cutlery in his hand. Jasmine saw this and passed a handkerchief over. Hayson wiped his mouth with it and threw it aside, “Thank you, what did the hospital say? What sickness is it this time?”
Madelyn lowered her head while her breathing slowed down. The feeling of suffocation crashed into her, “Father… I…”
“This doesn’t concern you. Since you’re sick, go upstairs and rest,” Hayson ordered.
“Y-yes, father, “Madelyn replied. Hayson had always been like this to her, so she was already used to it. Her opinion amounted to nothing in this house.
Madelyn had just walked to the edge of the staircase when Hayson’s voice came from behind suddenly, “I heard that you switched classes?”
“Yes,” Madelyn answered.
‘Since you’ve switched classes, you should stay put obediently. First, finish all the classes for the last half of the year.”
“I understand.” Madelyn obliged. She then returned to her room and anxiously lay down on
the bean bag on her balcony. Once her emotions started fluctuating, her stomach hurt even more. The heating pad in her hand had also turned lukewarm. When Madelyn remembered Zach’s words, she threw the heating pad in frustration. It accurately hit a pot of devil’s ivy, which crashed to the ground and all the soil inside spilled out.
‘What in the world did Zach tell Hayson? What should I do if he knows about everything?’ Madelyn thought.
The weather was great today. Clear skies everywhere, with the sun shining in the sky and the sunrays warmed the body. However, in Madelyn’s eyes, a storm was brewing.
Then came the sound of steady footsteps produced from the hitting of leather on the marble flooring. “I honestly thought you changed your temper,” Zach said, observing the mess covering the whole room. He avoided the flowerpot fragments and walked to the balcony with its open view. From there, he could see the natural landscape of the Southern Haven Villas.
‘She lives right here?’ He thought.
This room was far from being as exquisite as Madelyn’s previous room, with its white walls and absence of decorations. He could hear leaking water coming from the toilet, and a few drawings hung on the wall.
“The floor’s not soft enough… Madelyn used to like walking barefoot on the carpet. Now, it’s just cold hard tiles…,’ Zach thought. She wasn’t picky about where she was staying right now, but she still retained her habit of going barefoot.
Madelyn was in so much pain she could not stand up.
“Fuck off!” She screamed at Zach.
Although she cursed at Zach, he did not get angry. Madelyn did not want to look at him, so she stood up. The pain was unbearable, and her being angry only made it worse.
When she walked to the front of the table, she opened the pill bottle from the hospital and poured out some painkillers. The doctor had ordered her to take only one, but Madelyn took an extra pill out of habit. Zach usually took the medication, so he knew how much she should consume, but he saw this and did not stop her.
