Chapter 955
Madelyn sat in the backseat to take a nap. She woke up when the car hit a bump and saw completely unfamiliar
surroundings. She asked, “Where are we now, mister?”
“This is Southgate City. We’re almost at Martinsburg. It’ll take around 40 minutes,” The taxi driver answered.
Madelyn requested, “Drop me off here.

The taxi driver was shocked, “Don’t you want to reach Marisburg? You’ve already paid for the fare, and I won’t be
returning it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadelyn replied, “Mhm, that’s fine.”
The taxi driver was pleased and left her at a busy market. By the time Zach wakes up, he would definitely assume
she was at Marisburg. Madelyn needed to stay and hide here for a while before returning when the coast was clear.
After Madelyn got out of the taxi, she went to a motel that did not require any identification for a room.
“Young lady, it seems you’ve come to Southgate City alone to look for a job. If you want a job, I can introduce you
to it. As long as you work hard, five or six thousand a month should be no problem,” the motel owner suggested.
Madelyn did not answer her. After she got the room card, she went upstairs. She then locked all the doors and
windows before barring the door.
The weather near the southern area was humid, so the room smelled moldy. Since it was a cheap motel, Madelyn
could only make do with the place for a night until she could find another house to stay in. She had taken out all the
money from her bank account, which was ten thousand dollars. It was quite a large sum during the year 2006.
The sky had already turned dark, and Madelyn hoped Zach would wake up a little later. It would be best if he did not
wake up at all.
However,
Kevin had noticed something unusual during the second hour Madelyn had left. He called numerous times, but Zach
had not accepted his calls. Zach even sent him messages even though he usually never did so.
At half past five, Kevin immediately called the Southern Haven Villas. When the servant’s arrived at the bedroom to
check on Zach, they found out he was in a coma. They instantly called the emergency line. After that, Zach was
carried by the paramedics into an ambulance, and they rushed to SereneCare Hospital.
Kai had a mask on while a nurse followed behind while reporting, “The patient’s neck was bleeding and seemed to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbe injured by a sharp object. The injury is infected, and he’s currently unconscious.”
Kai asked, “How’s his current condition? Heart rate, breathing, and pulse?”
The nurse answered, “His heart rate is low, and his pulse is weak. If he was discovered a few hours later, he might
not have made it.”
Kai’s gaze
darkened as he thought, ‘It used to be just tiny arguments, yet they’ve currently escalated to using knives.’
Thankfully, Zach was the one being sent here and not Madelyn. Had it been Madelyn, Kai
would have made Zach suffer the consequences.
