Reborn to My Engagement Night

Chapter 136 Please LetExplain

Only then did Sebastian finally rest easy,

He glanced at Madelyn, his expression still as icy as ever.

Finished

Madelyn had just opened her mouth to speak when a flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from the

corridor outside.

They belonged to none other than her father, her stepmother, Regina, and her stepsister, Eunice.

“Maddie!” Derek was the first one to step into the ward.

Upon entering, the sight of Madelyn lying in bed with her knee heavily bandaged instantly left him too frantic to

utter a single word.

Unable to hold himself back, he immediately launched into a lecture as he stepped forward. “Maddie, were you

sick of living? Didn't you realize how dangerous it was to run off alone to the southern suburbs, a place teeming

with evil people? There are all kinds of people there! Why didn’t you consider your safety?”

Seeing her father so anxious, Madelyn bit her lip, feeling incredibly guilty.

“Dad, I'm sorry for having worried you, but | had my reasons for going there,” Madelyn explained softly.

“What reasons?” Regina suddenly interjected. “If you ask me, you must have been restless and merely ran off to

have fun!”

Upon hearing that, Madelyn shot her a glare. “How is that any of your business?”

What a blabbermouth! She just has to comment on everything!

Pretentiously, Regina retorted, “Do you think I'd bother with you if it weren't for your father? Given your

ungrateful attitude, | wouldn't even want to invite trouble upon myself. But do you know how worried your father

was about you? He has high blood pressure in the first place. Are you determined to kill him?”

As she spoke, she seemingly choked up.

“Shut up!”

Madelyn was already irritated by her voice. Thus, her pretentious sobbing only served to exacerbate her

annoyance.

She couldn't help glaring at her. “I've said that my matters are none of your business. If there's nothing else, get

out of here.”

Regina hadn't anticipated her to be so blunt with her and was livid to the point of almost bursting a blood vessel.

Immediately, she turned around and complained to Derek, “Derek, look at your precious daughter. Was | wrong

to say that? Isn't it common knowledge that she has always liked associating with people of questionable

character? And now, she went off to such a place all by herself. What was | supposed to think?”

With that said, che turned to Madelun again. “Madelun, it's not that I'm intentionally criticizing vou

days learning music, chess, literature, and art diligently. She's incredibly well-behaved that even the teachers

praise her.”

After saying that, she turned to Eunice. With her head lowered, the latter smiled modestly.

Madelyn let out a cold laugh.

Ah, | get it now. She's here specifically to tarnish my reputation. While at that, she’s seizing this opportunity to

praise her daughter to capture my father’s attention.

At that thought, Madelyn found it utterly ridiculous and couldn't help retorting sarcastically, “Regina, what's the

point of you constantly going to all lengths to sow discord every day?”

“How dare you!”

“As I've said, my affairs are none of your concern.” Madelyn snorted coldly.

Hearing that, Regina almost blew up, her blood boiling.

Seeing that the two of them planned to continue arguing, Sebastian frowned deeply, feeling a headache coming

on.

He couldn't help barking, “That’s enough. Stop arguing.”

The ward abruptly fell silent, with all eyes turning to him.

Sebastian started impassively, “Dad, Mrs. Thornton, | know your visit today is out of concern for Madelyn. She's

at fault in the matter this time, having worried you. Of course, it’s also my negligence. | failed to take care of her

properly. | assure you | will be more careful next time. Such an incident will never happen again.”

Those words were spoken with such calmness and sincerity that everyone was taken aback for a moment.

He paused briefly. Then, he continued, “However, Madelyn is currently unwell and needs rest. So, it would be

best if you all return hfor now. I'll take care of things here.”

Upon hearing that, Derek and Regina exchanged a glance.

Since Sebastian had said as much, they couldn't linger any longer.

Before leaving, Derek said earnestly by his daughter's bedside, “Maddie, | wasn’t blaming you. | was just too

worried about you that | was so agitated earlier. Just focus on getting better at the hospital, okay?”

Madelyn naturally understood her father concern. She nodded emphatically.

Then, Derek and Regina had no choice but to leave. Finally, the spacious ward reverted to its initial tranquility.

In the ward, only Madelyn and Sebastian remained.

Sebastian's expression remained grim, leaving Madelyn with no choice but to bite her lip and tug at his clothes

gently. “Sebastian, could you please letexplain?”

As he spoke, he found himself increasingly unable to contain his anger. His volraised several notches.

It was the first tMadelyn had seen him that angry, and her heart quivered in fear.

Even without having to guess, his misunderstanding of her had to be the handiwork of that despicable woman,

Janessa.

That b*tch just wouldn't leavealone!

Thus, she could only hastily clarify, “Sebastian, it's not what you think!”

Upon hearing that, Sebastian harrumphed coldly. “No matter what | think, you are currently the Lockhart family’s

daughter-in-law in name. Even if you wish to throw your life away, you should at least wait until our engagement

is called off. Otherwise, if you die, the Lockhart family will have to bear the responsibility!”

At his words, Madelyn was completely stunned. What did he just say?

“You want to break off our engagement?” Madelyn asked blankly.

Seeing her in such a state, Sebastian snorted coldly. “There's no need to put on an act of reluctance. Isn't this

exactly what you want?”

“No...” Madelyn stared at him in a daze.

Sebastian, however, didn’t believe her anymore. “After putting on an act for so long, even you must be confused

between what's real and otherwise, huh? On the one hand, you get close to me. But on the other, you mess

around with other men out there. Isn't all this an attempt to challenge my bottom line?”

“No...” As Madelyn listened to those words, her heart broke, and tears escaped her eyes.

That's not it. It’s not like that at all...

“That's enough.”

After saying that harshly, Sebastian suddenly chuckled self-derisively. “Never mind. Since you desire freedom so

much, | will grant it to you as soon as possible.”

Having said that, he strode out of the ward without a backward glance.
