Madelyn was forcefully dragged back to the Southern Haven Villas with tears in her eyes.
As soon as they entered the house, Zach locked the door.
Jasmine was sitting on the couch in the living room. She was munching on some cherries and stood up as she heard the movement behind her.
"You're back?" Madelyn forcefully shook off his hand. When she opened the door and tried to leave, the bodyguards at the entrance blocked her way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJasmine smiled as she tenderly said, "What's wrong? Are you two siblings arguing again? Zach... Madelyn is your sis, you should give in to her." Madelyn could not leave. She accepted the situation and wiped her tears. She expressionlessly turned around and said, "I'm going upstairs to check on my father.” Jasmine's gaze was cold as she smiled slightly, "Go ahead. Your father's aware of what you're saying, but he just doesn't respond. Talk to him more, and maybe he'll wake up soon.” Madelyn went upstairs without responding. She could then hear Jasmine's voice again, "You must've had a tiring journey! | thought you might not have eaten, so | made some soup for you. Would you like me to feed you later? "The child was causing a lot of trouble. It took me a long time just to prepare this soup for you." Jasmine looked at Madelyn who was hurriedly going upstairs. Her smile carried a sense of satisfaction and playfulness.
"Done having fun?" Zach pushed Jasmine away.
"As soon as she comes back, all your attention goes to her. If you keep acting this way, I'll be jealous." Jasmine pressed herself against him again. She romantically touched his chest. Her seductive gaze seemed like she wanted to have him completely.
Madelyn did not want to stay in the same space with them at all.
Zach and Jasmine's relationship was unclear, and Madelyn was aware of it. She also knew that Jasmine's act was intended to provoke her. Now, she even suspected whether the child Jasmine was pregnant with was really her father's.
She thought, ‘Could Jasmine be carrying Zach's child? It's too absurd." When Madelyn thought about them secretly doing the act on the bed behind her father's back, she could not help but feel disgusted.
Inside the master bedroom on the second floor, the door wasn't locked, and there was an unfamiliar caregiver taking care of Hayson.
The caregiver said, "Ms. Jent, it's very late now. Mr. Jent needs to rest. | think you should check on him tomorrow." Madelyn stood at the door and took a look. Hayson's face showed no sign of anything unusual. He was hooked onto an IV drip lying on the bed as if he was asleep.
Right at this moment, Madelyn's phone rang. She turned around and went to a corner of the hallway to answer it. It was Leonardo.
Leonardo was inquiring about Hayson's condition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadelyn said, "Yes. Thank you for your concern, Prof. Monet. His condition is okay.
"Don't worry. Once his condition is stable, I'll be back. It'll probably be within two to three days. It won't affect my courses.” After chatting for a while more, the phone call ended.
Madelyn wanted to go back to her room. As she turned around, she saw Zach.
She just ignored him and walked past him.
Zach raised his eyebrow lightly as he smiled, "Your room has been moved up to the third floor. | had people tidy it up for you. It looks just like before.” Madelyn coldly responded, "I don't like staying in a room someone else has slept in. I'll sleep in the villa next door tonight." The villa next door belonged to Ethan, and she knew the door code.
Zach replied, "Well, that's not up to you."
