The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 216

Madelyn was seating in the lounge with a glass of hot water in her hands. She then asked Kevin. “How does Zach plan to deal with Danny’s case?”

Kevin was walking to the door when he heard her voice and stopped. “Miss Madelyn, it’s better if you don’t know. Mr. Zach has his ways, and he’ll deal with this once and for all.”

After some time, another commotion happened at the door.

It seemed like someone else had arrived.

Madelyn wanted to go and have a look, but after some thought, she decided against it as she did not want to add to his troubles.

The next moment, the lounge room door suddenly opened.

Seeing the person appearing before her shocked Madelyn so much that she was at a loss for words. A smart-looking Ethan, clad in gray suit, stood before her.

“Why… why are you here?”

George, who was behind him quickly explained. “Arnold Corporation is the biggest investor of this school, so we rushed over the moment we heard something had happened. But more so, it is because of you, Miss Madelyn.”

“George, you’ve spoken too much,” Ethan said.

“My apologies, sir.”

Madelyn looked away as she looked at the ground beside him and her hands grabbed on anxiously at the sides of her skirts. “I’m so sorry to trouble you. Please let Zach handle this. We won’t cause any trouble to the school.”

“Madelyn, you don’t need to be so reserved around me. Your issues are also mine. Did you hurt your hand? Let me have a look…”

Ethan stretched his hand out to her while Madelyn hid her hand behind her. “I’m fine, it’s

much better now.”

“Miss Madelyn, do allow sir to have a look. He had been really worried about you for the past few days,” George interjected.

These words had another meaning behind it. To outsiders, it sounded like they had a relationship that cannot be put with words, but fortunately, there was no one around.

Madelyn then slowly stretched her hand out.

The next moment, Ethan sat down beside her. Upon seeing this, George quickly stepped out and closed the door shut.

Madelyn had always been sensitive towards being alone in the same room with another man. Her body stiffened a little and she felt very uncomfortable.

“Madelyn, are you afraid of me?” Ethan sensed the fear in her eyes. She would always be so cautious every time she was alone with him, as if she feared he would do something to her.

“No…”

It was her problem.

After she had been kicked out of her home in her previous life, she had tried to look for a job to feed herself, yet someone had fooled her into following him into a small hut before trying to sexually assault her. Thankfully, she managed to escape.

Thus, there were some lingering fears still within her.

No matter who it was…

Madelyn quickly changed the topic. “Why is your face so pale? Are you

unwell?”

Ethan smiled a little. “Just caught a cold. I’m fine.”

“Just remember to drink water… Oh right, There’s water here. Let me get you a glass.” As she said that, Madelyn pulled her hand back, got up and walked to the water dispenser to get him a glass of warm water. “Careful. It may be a little hot.”

Ethan’s eyes never strayed away from her. His gaze was scorching, longing, greedy yet he had to be careful to maintain the distance between them.

“Alright.”

Ethan put the water on the table as he pulled out an ornate-looking bottle out of his pocket.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Come here.”

“What’s that?” Madelyn asked.

“Medicine.”

Ethan sat beside her. He knew that Madelyn was extremely cautious, but he did not mind. It was good to be cautious.

“As long as she… only has me in her heart from now on.”

“This is a healing balm I brought over. It’ll help with your wounds.” Ethan carefully undid the bandage, and when he saw the wound, his heart ached. “Does it still hurt?”

“Just a little…”

“It’ll sting a bit, so bear with me.”
