The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 277

Madelyn followed behind Zach. Just as they left the school gate, she received a call from Ethan. Glancing at Zach’s back,

Madelyn hesitated before answering, “Hello?”

“You have a long break starting today, right? How about I ask Leyton to pick you up and have lunch together?” asked Ethan.

Madelyn said, “I… need to go to Zach’s place. Rosario is ill. I want to check on her.”

“I see. Well, be careful on your way. You can stay a bit longer, and I’ll come to pick you up in the evening.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Madelyn approached the car. As she was about to open the door for the back seat, Zach’s cold voice came

through, “Sit up front.”

Reluctantly, Madelyn put down her hand and settled into the front passenger seat. Suddenly, Zach, who was in the driver’s seat,

leaned over and fastened her seatbelt. Madelyn felt nervous and was unable to breathe. She had an ingrained fear of him. It

intensified after learning about Julia’s death. The car started moving slowly, and neither of them mentioned Julia’s demise

throughout the journey.

Arriving at Grand Court, where Zach’s apartment was, Zach parked near the supermarket entrance. “Let’s go to the supermarket.”

“It’s okay. I’ll stay in the car and wait for you.”

Zach asked, “Are you waiting for me to get you out?”

Madelyn dared not to say anything more and got out of the car. She used to constantly nag Zach to go to the supermarket with her previously. However, he never went. He would patiently accompany Jadie to shopping but not her. Now, she dared not to ask for anything from him.

Zach pushed the shopping cart and headed to the seafood section. He bought various types of seafood, along with vegetables and fruits.

At the same time, Madelyn asked the person in charge of the seafood section for a bag of cooking wine and some ingredients like onions, spices, and garlic. The seafood was expensive, so it seemed reasonable to get something for free. She realized that this was their first-time shopping in a supermarket. She also discovered that he really did not know how to shop for groceries. He always chose not-so-fresh items. Mostly, Madelyn was the one who made the selection.

After buying these, Zach took her to the snack section. “What do you want to eat?”

Madelyn shook her head. “I… can’t eat these snacks.”

Zach was well aware of her health condition. “In that case, let’s buy some fruits.”

Zach bought a lot of strawberries and cherries in the end, spending over five hundred dollars. After leaving the supermarket, they placed the items in the trunk, Madelyn sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt before he could approach Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

her.

After driving for a few minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Zach carried two big bags and entered the building. “Open the door.”

“Okay.” Madelyn entered the password for the door lock, and it opened with a beep. Without stopping, she went straight to the

room where Rosario was staying. She found Rosario lying pale on the bed, and the room exuded the strong aroma of medicinal

ointment.

Hearing the noise, Rosario opened her eyes and sat up immediately upon seeing Madelyn. “Madelyn, why have you come?”

“Zach told me you got injured, so I came to see you. Rosario, where did you hurt? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Rosario weakly explained, “I slipped and fell while going out to buy groceries. It was snowing, that’s why I hurt my waist. Have

you been doing well during these days you’ve been staying at the Arnold residence? Have you been mistreated?”

Madelyn shook her head. “I’m fine, and no one has mistreated me. Don’t worry.”

“That’s good. You’ve never been away from home since you were little, and you don’t have many friends. I was worried you might

be mistreated outside without telling your family.”

‘Did I suffer less mistreatment at home? Although the Arnold residence is a place of contention, it’s still better than being at the

Jent residence.”
