"I've arranged everything with the photoshoot company,” Zach began, breaking the silence. "Once you're better, the custom wedding dresses from overseas will arrive in the capital. We can try them on then.” Zach reached for Madelyn's hand, but she swiftly withdrew it. She said, "Zach, stop it already! You processed our marriage certificate on my behalf without acknowledging me. You've achieved your goal. So, stop seeking my attention.” Zach, undeterred by Madelyn's words, said, "The PR department will announce our marriage. Soon, everyone in the capital will know you're the wife of the CEO of Jardin Corporation." "Zach! Do you realize how people viewed our relationship in the past? You were my father's adopted son, my brother. Now that he's gone and we are married, do you know how others will judge us?" Madelyn asked.

"You don't need to care about them. All you have to do is attend the company's annual meeting with me after the wedding photoshoot," said Zach.
Madelyn suspected Zach intended to provoke her deliberately.
He gently stroked Madelyn's hair. He softened his gaze and said, "Get some rest." Then Zach stood to leave and coughed a few times, showcasing his unwell condition. Madelyn noticed Zach's illness seemed persistent. Even his palm felt feverishly hot.
Zach went to his study. He slumped in his chair and gazed at the ceiling. Beside him were two bottles of white pills. They were medications given by Kai to suppress emotions.

Mental illness isn't like a common cold that heals in a few days. It requires a long recovery." Zach ultimately chose the medication with side effects. To win Madelyn back, Zach had expended much effort.

"Helen!" Zach woke from the nightmare, sweating and disoriented. It was dark outside, except for the dim light in the study. His heart raced as if a giant hand was squeezing it. It had been a while since he had such a vivid dream.
Zach stepped out of the study and immediately noticed a lingering smell of grilled food in the bedroom. He frowned subtly, observing the sleeping figure in the dim moonlight. He lay down beside Madelyn.
Madelyn was in a deep, muddled sleep. Though her fever had subsided, she still felt miserable with a throbbing headache and dizziness. Suddenly, she felt someone embracing her. She shifted uncomfortably and said, "My head! It hurts!" She began to feel better after she felt a gentle pressure massaging her temples, soothing her discomfort. Then, she was able to sleep soundly, but having gone to bed early, she awoke at midnight and could not fall back asleep.
As Madelyn moved, she felt a hand on her head, massaging gently.
