Kai smiled meaningfully at Zach and said, "Came sooner than | thought." ‘What did | say? He'd eventually fall for her. He could not help himself from falling for her even after he got the DNA test report,’ he thought.
Zach and Yvonne simultaneously turned to Madelyn. Meanwhile, Madelyn's gaze remained on Kai until Yvonne went to her side and held her hand.
"Why'd you end up in the hospital all of a sudden? Are you sick?" ‘Yvonne knew about Madelyn's condition.
‘She's saying this to hide my condition, but | won't rule out the possibility that she has other things in mind,’ Madelyn thought.
Madelyn looked away and ignored Kai's half-smile. He looked like he was anticipating some .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was curious, "What in the world does Kai want to tell me? Why does he know my mother? Could he be the person who had left the flowers at her grave?" In their previous life, Madelyn did not know of Kai's relationship with her mother.
‘And... Didn't my mother die from excessive bleeding while giving birth to me? Everything seemed to have turned into a mystery.
Why didn't anyone tell me all this in our previous life?" she wondered.
Madelyn replied, "I tripped and fell on my way back from the monastery.” This was Madelyn's excuse that Yvonne and the bodyguards had agreed upon.
Meanwhile, Kai saw through them. He smirked subtly.
Zach turned to Kai and looked at him.
"Where's her medical report?" he asked icily.
Kai responded nonchalantly, "Didn't Madelyn already tell you? She had a fall, and she's fine. Madelyn's so fragile that she can fall while walking. In the future, she should stay home and not go wandering around.” Madelyn was annoyed at their bickering.
"There's no need to worry about me. All of you should go home! I'll go home myself after I'm done with my IV drip." "Honey, you should go home first! Don't you still have a meeting in the afternoon? I'll watch over Madelyn at the hospital and call you when I'm back," said Yvonne as she was still worried.
Madelyn did not spare Zach a glance throughout the entire interaction.
Kai conscientiously left the room. When he turned around, he smiled, but his gaze was icy.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table rang.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Yvonne grabbed a phone and asked, "It's a call for you. Are you gonna answer it?" The caller ID showed "Kennedy Johnson".
Madelyn answered the phone in front of them.
"What's up?" "| heard Grandpa say that you've gone back? Are you... Are you alright?" Kennedy was the first person to learn of her condition.
Back when she left Ventropolis, Kennedy was the one who had helped her hide her condition. The two had rarely communicated when she was in France.
"I'm fine. How about you?" "You don't have to worry about me. I'll go and find you when I've settled the business at hand." "Alright." After a short exchange, Kennedy waited for Madelyn to hang up the phone.
Madelyn ignored Zach's dark expression. She said to Yvonne, "You're my sister-in-law now. Could you please help me collect my medication later?" ‘Yvonne was momentarily taken aback hearing Madelyn say she was her sister-in-law.
However, she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "You're right. We're a family now." "Go out, now," Zach said coldly.
‘Yvonne turned around and glanced at Zach. She wanted to say something. When she noticed the icy aura he was emanating, the smile on her face dropped. Then, she swallowed her words and walked out in silence.
