Chapter 440
“Mom, where’d you go? Please don’t leave me behind,” said Madelyn.
Zach looked at the scene before him. It seemed he was witnessing a Madelyn who had already gone mad. His
imposing figure loomed over her as he slowly approached. “Why are you kneeling on the ground? Get up.”
“What are you here for? You scared my mom away,” Madelyn said calmly.
Zach pulled her up with one swift motion. “Take a good look. There’s no one else in this room besides you and me.”
“You’re talking nonsense. I clearly saw my mom. She talked to me a lot. She said that if I’m tired, she’ll take me
away from here. It’s all because of you. It’s all your fault! You drove my mom away! Why’d you come in?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZach seemed to experience heartbreak for the first time as he watched how he had driven Madelyn step by step
into madness, pushing her into hell to achieve his goals. He should never have crossed that line. Now it allowed her
to manipulate him easily.
Zach had faced numerous shootouts, never losing his composure or feeling fear as he repeatedly survived deadly
situations. Everything he did had a purpose, using any means necessary to achieve his goals. Zach manipulated
people and situations effortlessly, except when it came to Madelyn. Watching her suffer to the point of being
unrecognizable, he could not help but feel a hint of remorse, questioning if it was regret.
Zach held her, his hand on her shoulder, allowing Madelyn to cry and go mad as she pleased. He preferred her in
this state over her previous calm and composed facade, pretending that everything was fine.
“Let me go! I want my mom! Let go of me!” Madelyn struggled but was held firmly in place. Suddenly, she bit down
hard on his shoulder. Even though she tasted blood, he refused to release his grip. Heremained unfazed, allowing
her to vent her
frustration
Zach wore a black shirt, but he could feel warmth and a piercing pain on his shoulder. They remained in that
position for over ten minutes before Zach turned his head and asked, “Had enough?” His profound gaze carried an
emotion different from
before.
Madelyn pushed him away. She lowered her head, and her tousled long hair covered her face. After a long pause,
she found her voice again, “T’in sorry, I’m sick. It wasn’t intentional.”
Madelyn did nothing wrong but was the first to apologize. She continued, “Try to stay away from me in the future.

I’m tired, I want to rest for a while.”
Zach watched as she transformed back into her calm, non-angry demeanor. She wiped the tears from her face and
stepped onto the bed with her bare feet before crawling under the covers and hiding herself away.
‘I acted so crazily against him and even bit him. Will he find a way to retaliate? Forget it. I’m already in this state.
How much worse can it get?’
Zach removed all the furniture blocking the door and carefully closed it behind him as he left.
Jadie approached with concern. She looked into the room but could not see anything except darkness. “Zach, is
Madelyn okay? I heard some noise just now. Did you two fight?”
