The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 

Kevin held an umbrella and walked to the front of the car before heading to the passenger seat. He opened the car door, and a man in a perfectly tailored black shirt and slacks stepped out of the car. He exuded an air of intimidation. 

The man stepped onto the ground with his black leather shoes. He was incredibly handsome, but his eyes were filled with danger. 

Everyone seemingly had been intimidated by his presence and automatically made way for him when he approached. 

Forrest met with his gaze just as he picked up Madelyn. When their eyes met, an unknown, suffocating feeling quickly passed between the two. 

Zach walked over while Kevin held an umbrella beside him. 

“Mr. Arnold, I owe you one for saving Madelyn’s life,” said Zach as he stuck out his head. However, Forrest seemed to show no intention of accepting his handshake. 

“You owe me one. Don’t you forget it, Zach Jardin.” 

Zach took the unconscious Madelyn into his arms. 

They went to the Portsmouth Fishing Village Clinic. 

On their way back to Ventropolis, they discovered that a section of the road ahead had collapsed. Since the route back was under repair, it would take a few more days before they could get back. 

“Sorry, Zach. I didn’t mean to hide things from you on purpose. It’s just that I have exams coming up, and I felt a little stressed. I came out with my friends to have fun and was worried you’d be upset, so I didn’t tell you.” 

Jadie stood before Zach with her head lowered and did not dare to speak. She looked like a child who had done something wrong. 

” 

Claire was worried Jadie would get reprimanded by Zach, so she stepped forward and said, Zach, I insisted on dragging Jadie out. This has nothing to do with her. If you want to blame someone, blame me.” 

Zach did not blame her. 

“Where have you been staying?” he asked. 

Claire quickly answered, “She and I stayed at our friend’s house.” 

Zach said, “Move out of your friend’s house tonight and stay at a guesthouse for now. I’ll send you back to school in a few days.” 

Jadie nodded and fiddled with her fingers, “I understand, Zach.” 

“Let’s go back home first! It’s almost sunrise. Let’s go back and rest for a bit.” 

“How about you, Zach?” asked Jadie. 

“I’ll wait for Madelyn to wake up.” 

Jadie did not say anything more, “Then I’ll come and see you guys again tomorrow. You should get some rest soon too, Zach. Don’t tire yourself out.” 

Not long after Jadie left, someone opened the examination room door. A middle-aged doctor walked out and said, “Are you the patient’s kin?” 

“How is she?” 

The man spoke in a dialect and replied in not-very-standard Venturian, “Not good. There’s a tear in her abdomen, but we’ve stopped the bleeding for now. All we can do here is conduct a simple examination. Once the roads are repaired, it would be best to take her to a bigger hospital for treatment and see if she has any other internal injuries.” 

“Thank you,” replied Zach.
