The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 45

Another glass went flying out of the room, accompanied by an enraged voice. “Madelyn Jent, shut the fuck up already!”

Just as the glass nearly struck Madelyn, someone swiftly pulled her aside. It was Zach, standing by her side, and she blurted out, “Z Zach, what are you doing here at the hospital?” Zach scanned her up and down with concern. “Are you alright? Did you get hurt?”

“I’m fine.” Madelyn had barely stepped into the room before being promptly expelled. With Forrest’s injuries, he posed no threat to her well being.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“Not really, just some stomach discomfort, so I decided to come here and have it checked out.”

Zach furrowed his brow. “Are you here to see Forrest?”

Madelyn hesitated briefly before replying, “Bro-Brother… Did you have someone beat up Forrest like that?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Zach’s expression darkened. “So, Madelyn thinks I’m that kind of person?”

Madelyn thought to herself, ‘If it’s not Zach, then who could it be? But if it was Zach, he would never hide it. And if it’s not him, he certainly won’t admit it.”

“No, it’s not…” She swiftly attempted to pacify Zach’s anger. “I thought you had someone confront him on my behalf. But I didn’t realize it wasn’t you.”

“So now you’re upset that I didn’t seek revenge for you?”

Madelyn vigorously shook her head, fear evident in her eyes. “No, that’s not what I meant…”

“Alright, I was just messing with you. Why are you so tense? Should I take you back to school or straight home?”

Madelyn declined, stating, “I took a leave. I have a piano lesson later, so I’ll just walk there. It’s not too far.”

Zach glanced at his watch and said, “Okay, be careful on your own. After your piano lesson, remember to call the driver and don’t wander around.”

“Okay, okay.” Madelyn nodded. She silently speculated that it might be even riskier to accompany Zach.

Madelyn pinched her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. ‘Why do I keep bumping into Zach everywhere? It’s as if he’s haunting me. Perhaps I should visit Forrest tomorrow instead. It was rather abrupt to come today…’

Meanwhile, seated in the backseat of the parked Cayenne outside SereneCare Hospital, Ethan gazed at the blue tattoo on his hand and inquired, “George, do you think I look intimidating?” To conceal the tattoo, Ethan always wore long sleeves, ensuring it remained hidden from view.

“Not at all. Right now, Ms. Jent simply doesn’t know you. Once you have a formal introduction. and spend some time together, she will come to understand you. Your serious demeanor naturally gives off an intimidating aura, making most people hesitant to approach. However, when interacting with someone like Ms. Jent, who has a pleasant disposition, you can afford to smile more. After all, she’s a girl.”

Ethan held a tablet in his hands, its lock screen wallpaper featuring a candid photo he had discreetly captured of Madelyn from the window.

“However…. you should also listen to the doctor’s advice so that you can fully recover.”

“Alright.”

The surgery to address Ethan’s leg condition was scheduled for the following day. George Gibbon, Ethan’s butler, reflected on how Madelyn’s intervention had greatly influenced Ethan’s decision to return to the hospital for treatment. ‘Despite Madam’s extensive efforts over the years, she had been unable to convince Young Master to step outside their home, let alone undergo surgery. Yet, it was someone like Ms. Jent, whom he wasn’t acquainted with, who managed to emancipate Young Master from his painful past. One can only fathom the immense importance of Ms. Jent to Young Master.’

As Madelyn exited the hospital, she was taken aback by a call from the Jent family’s chauffeur, who informed her that Zach was furious upon discovering that she had left school without keeping him informed.

Madelyn couldn’t help but curse silently in her mind, ‘It’s Zach Jardin once again!’
