Blake said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm sharp-witted, and I know what needs to be done."Kevin raised his hand to check the time. He turned to knock on the door of the ward before opening the door to walk in. "Time's up. Blake, you can leave now."Blake responded, "I don't want to leave. I haven't finished talking to Madelyn yet."Madelyn said, "It's fine. Zach won't be back for a while. Just stay here with me for a little longer."Blake agreed, "That's right."Kevin felt Blake was taking advantage of her relationship with Madelyn.He nodded, "Mrs. Jardin, if you feel unwell, call me. I'll be just outside the door."Madelyn replied, "Okay."Kevin glanced at Blake's triumphant expression and chose to ignore her as he left the ward.This floor was fully guarded, and regular people could not just enter easily. Kevin listened to the laughter coming from the ward and thought, 'I have to admit, Blake's good at flattering people.'About half an hour later, Blake, afraid that Zach mi

Kai noticed Lana, who had started walking away, stopped, standing in front of him. He asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"Lana looked troubled as she shook her head, "It's nothing."Lana actually wanted to tell him that she always dreamed of someone, a person she felt very familiar with, and she would feel very sad every time. She had been dreaming about this man for a long time, and she did not know why this was happening to her.However, she had been keeping this matter to herself and decided not to tell Kai. She did not want him to worry.Lana thought it might be due to her impending labor, or maybe she was just overthinking things.A few days later, Madelyn went downstairs for a walk under the sun with bodyguards protecting her.She was recovering well, and she would be ready to leave the hospital in two days.Madelyn did not like staying in the hospital. She felt that recuperating at home or elsewhere, it was all the same.A bodyguard said, "Mrs. Jardin, Mr. J

Madelyn said, "Yvonne... Zach said the plane crash had nothing to do with him, and I don't know if there are any hidden details. It doesn't make sense for you to hold this hatred against me.""Why should I hate him? He's my husband. I believe whatever he says. The person I hate is you. You took everything away from me," Yvonne said deliriously. She covered her chest and continued, "You don't know how much I love him. I can give him everything. But why did you have to come back? It's all because of you!"Yvonne suddenly grabbed Madelyn. Tears streamed down her face as she begged, "Madelyn, I beg you, please don't marry him. Can you give Zach back to me? Please give him back to me! I'll kneel before you and beg."Madelyn felt sorry for Yvonne, watching her, who had become insane for a man. Suddenly, she remembered her past life—how she, too, had behaved like Yvonne for Zach.Yvonne knelt on the ground, looking up, clutching Madelyn's hand. Madelyn had a sour feeling in her nose. She

Zach thought, 'She's lying.'Suddenly, he turned over to shower her lips and neck with countless kisses, "Since you can't sleep, let's do something more meaningful.""No, Zach. I really need to use the bathroom. Besides, I still haven't recovered. We can't be intimate." Even though Madelyn said so, Zach did not let go of her. He insisted on going his way and had unbuttoned her pajamas unknowingly. The cold wind from outside seeped into the blanket. After struggling in vain, Madelyn gave up and allowed him to do as he pleased. The lack of lubrication made it rough, and she had to endure the pain.When it finally ended, it was already an hour later. Zach carried Madelyn, who was naked, to the bathroom. Seeing fresh blood, Zach immediately furrowed his brows, "Why didn't you say it hurt?"Madelyn sat on the icy bathroom sink and stopped his attempts to go any further with his hands, "Enough, stop looking. I want to take a shower. I feel uncomfortable all over."Zach squeezed some bod

Madelyn retorted, "No, you're overthinking. I just don't know what to draw."Margaret said, "Oh! Ms. Jent, I've been working for you for a long time. I can read you like a book. You're worried that Mr. Jardin is out there painting the town red, aren't you?"Snap!Madelyn suddenly exerted force in her hand, breaking the paintbrush in half, "Enough! Stop saying anything."Margaret was caught off guard when Madelyn, usually easygoing, suddenly blew up. However, she had seen through it ages ago as someone so experienced. No matter what happened in the past, any lingering resentment in Madelyn's heart would gradually dissolve with time. Though Margaret did not know what exactly happened to Madelyn, judging from her habits and subtle actions, she had long accepted Zach deep down.Though Dalton was not Zach and Madelyn's blood, anyone with a keen eye could see that Zach regarded him as his own, even though he gave Dalton the cold shoulder. On the other hand, despite Madelyn seeming kind
