Zach continued to muse, "The person | had called a fool hundreds of times... When did | start feeling this way? Is it regret? Am | regretful?" He was genuinely perplexed. He was even less clear about his feelings for Madelyn, though he did not want what belonged to him to leave. So, Zach sneaked into her room countless nights, desiring to possess her over and over again. He wanted Madelyn to become the Madelyn from before, the girl who only loved him. Even if it required every means at his disposal, he wanted to keep her by his side.

If she wants a child so badly, | can give her a child.’ The following morning, as the first light of dawn broke, Madelyn unexpectedly heard a baby crying. She opened her eyes groggily and stared at the ceiling. After a few minutes, the distinct cry of a baby echoed once more. She looked to the side of the bed, but the pillow showed no signs of being slept on, 'Did he stay up all night last night?" Madelyn curiously opened the bedroom door and walked into the living room. Then, the scene she saw left her speechless.
Zach held a baby in his arms, with Kevin providing guidance nearby. "The baby must be hungry." Madelyn stood there in stunned silence. She ran a hand through her hair and blinked her eyes a few times, her brows furrowing as she looked at the table piled with baby items, "What are you doing? Where did this baby come from?" Two pairs of eyes simultaneously turned toward Madelyn as she walked over. She was dressed in a nightgown, revealing her legs, and wore slippers. Zach got up from the sofa, and Kevin took the baby.
"Did you take the baby? Does his parents even know? They must be worried!" Zach walked over with a blanket and draped it over her, "You don't like it?" "I'm asking you, where did this baby come from?" Madelyn asked angrily.
Kevin said, "Mr. Jardin originally intended to adopt a child from the orphanage. While driving by, we spotted an abandoned baby at the orphanages entrance. So, we decided to bring the baby home." Madelyn was momentarily perplexed, "Adopt from an orphanage? You found the baby? Do you think I'd believe that? I'll call the police right now and report you for child abduction.” Madelyn actually called the police. In less than fifteen minutes, two police officers arrived. It was Madelyn who opened the door for them.

When they entered, the two police officers" stern expressions softened upon seeing Zach, "Mr. Jardin, we received a report that you stole a child?" "Wah!" The baby had been crying incessantly since being brought home. Its voice had become hoarse.
Kevin felt the warmth and dampness on his arm with a strange smell. His face turned dark instantly, "M-Mr. Jardin, this child..." ‘Did he poop?" Zach, who stayed up all night, massaged his temple due to a headache.
Madelyn could not bear to see the baby crying and walked over, "Give him to me." When Madelyn touched the baby, she was shocked to notice that the baby's face looked off. She leaned in to check the baby's forehead with her face, "He's running a high fever. He must be sick. Didn't you know? He needs to go to the hospital.”
