Chapter 1106
After the doctor left, Madelyn’s eyes fluttered open. She saw Zach talking to the caretaker at the door.
When Zach came in, Madelyn, her head still spinning, sat up in bed. She dodged his hand as he reached out and,
while looking away, said, “Go wash off that smell, okay?”
Zach covered her with the blanket. “You skipped dinner, so I got someone to make oatmeal for you. It’s almost
ready. Try to eat more next time, alright? I’ll be back after a quick shower.”
Madelyn stayed silent.
Zach left his suit on the bed before heading to the shower. Weakly, Madelyn got out of bed and grabbed the suit.
She sniffed it and caught the smell of gasoline. She was right. She knew Zach had been out in the middle of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnight, probably on some risky mission.
Feeling upset, Madelyn threw the suit aside and went to her art studio
to call Kai.
Kai was on his way home when he received Madelyn’s call.
When he answered, Madelyn’s worried voice came through. “Do you

You wouldn’t believe how much Zach has changed, especially when
the situation involves you.”
Madelyn, sounding unsure, asked, “If Yvonne’s still around, do you
think Ethan might be too?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKai took a moment, knowing she was still holding on. “Sometimes, no
news is good news. No one’s found him yet, so he might be out there,
just like Yvonne.”
Madelyn suddenly felt lighter, like she could finally hope again. The
mystery about Ethan had always been a heavy thought for her.
She hung up and just stood at the window, thinking for what seemed
like forever.
Zach came out of the bathroom and noticed the bed was empty. With
a puzzled frown, he stepped into the art studio. His eyes landed on
Madelyn standing by the window, and he paused.
Madelyn turned and saw Zach silently standing behind her. She just
