Madelyn look
Chapter 401
Madelyn still did not know that Ethan was extremely worried and was looking for her everywhere in Ventropolis.
The first ray of morning light shone in from the window. Street vendors had already started their businesses in the
street of the quiet old building. The scent of food could be smelled from a nearby location.
The quietness in the residential area was broken by several luxurious black cars that came and stopped there.
George said, “Ms. Jent stayed here when she left her home. I think she’s probably here now.”
Ethan had not slept the entire night. He desperately got out of the car and tightly frowned as he looked around at
the extremely poor housing condition. He thought, ‘How can she stay here?!
This staircase is full of dust. And I can feel that this building is extremely unstable. This kind of housing should
already be considered a dangerous building. Yet, there are still people living here.‘
Madelyn came out of the bathroom and dried her hair. She then removed the sofa cover that had been dirtied last
night and threw it into a basin for cleaning.
She had a very bad headache. She thought it was probably because she caught a cold yesterday. Whatever
happened last night did not bother Madelyn. She fell asleep very quickly yesterday.
When she woke up this morning, her nose was stuffy. Ever since the surgery, Madelyn felt that her body was weaker
than before.
Just then, she could hear someone knocking on the door from outside. She did not know who it could be as she
opened the door.
Before she could even react to the person outside, he suddenly hugged her tightly. She patted his shoulder as she
said, “Ethan, you’re hurting me! Why did you come here?”
Ethan felt lucky and relieved when he saw her. He said, “I’m sorry!”
Madelyn did not understand what he meant. When she saw Leyton and George, who came with Ethan, she thought,
‘Did they really have to come with him?!‘
Ethan only let go of her after a while.
Madelyn installed a clean sofa cover before the three of them sat on it. Madelyn poured Ethan a cup of boiled water
and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. She then sat down in front of him and said, “I’m sorry for making
you guys worry. School ended very late last night. It was a little troublesome to go back. So, I decided to stay here

“Ethan, I sent you a text message. Did you not receive it?”
Ethan frowned slightly. He did not have the habit of clearing his messages. Ever since he got together with Madelyn,
he has received many texts and calls. But he did not receive any text messages from her last night.
Ethan thought of something and pinched his eyebrows. He did not know how to explain it to her. He did not know
what to do.
Leyton suddenly said, “Mr. Arnold dropped his phone last night. So, maybe he missed your text messages because
of that. But later, when he tried to call you, your phone was in the switched–off mode.”
Madelyn clutched her sleepwear as she lowered her head. She did not like to cause trouble for others. She felt
guilty when she noticed Ethan’s eyes were red.
She said, “I’m sorry! I’m really sorry for making you worry… I didn’t think I’d make you worry for the whole night.
I’m fine now. You should go back and get some sleep.”
At that moment, her phone on the table rang. It showed Hayson’s name.
Madelyn hurriedly grabbed her phone and said, “I’ll take this call on the balcony.”
ed at Forrest with a weary expression. She didn’t know what to say to him. In the end, she simply said, “Pack up
your things. Don’t come here again.”
After saying that, she went back to her room. She found her room relatively clean, with no dust, as if someone had
cleaned it.
Without thinking much, she locked the door, dropped her backpack, and, without even changing her clothes, she lay
on the bed under a blanket
Outside the room, Forrest and Kayla seemed to have an argument. Madelyn had a headache and didn’t want to get
involved. She tried hard not to dwell on it. After a while, she fell into a restless sleep.
Around one o’clock in the early morning, the sound of brakes shattered the silence of the night, and Ethan got out
of the car. He saw that the living room lights in the mansion were still on.
Exhausted, Ethen walked into the hallway. A servant noticed him and asked in confusion, “Sir, isn’t Miss Jent with
you?”
Ethan furrowed his brow. “She didn’t come back?” Suddenly, his heart sank
The servant hesitantly said, “No, sir. Miss Jent called the driver and said she wouldn’t be coming back today, that
she would be staying somewhere else. L.. I thought she was with you.”
Ethan had just returned from the hospital. He checked his phone. There were no missed calls or unread messages.
He repeatedly dialed Madelyn’s number, but it wouldn’t go through.
A chilling and icy demeanor began to emanate from him. “Way didn’t you ask her in the first place? If something
happens to her, every single one of you will be fired! What are you waiting for? Why haven’t you sent someone to
find her?”
“Yes, sir,” the servant replied, taken aback by the severity of Ethan’s anger.
After the servant left, Ethan’s body felt unsteady, and his leg, which had previously been giving him trouble,
seemed to act up again. He sat down on the couch, holding his head in his hands, a mix of fear and panic flooding
his mind. He regretted, ‘I… should never have seen Donna. If Madelyn finds out, I don’t know what I’ll do.‘
The bodyguards had searched all the nearby hotels and various nightlife spots around the school, but there was no
trace of Madelyn.
Close to four o’clock in the early morning, Leyton poured a cup of hot water and placed it in front of Ethan. “We still
haven’t been able to reach the Jent family, but we’ve sent someone over to inquire. Don’t worry; we should have
news soon.”
As he spoke, Leyton received a message from the bodyguards. He hesitated, not sure how to break the news.
Ethan asked, “Did you find something?”
Leyton replied, “We’ve checked the Jent residence at Southern Haven Villas and Mr. Jardin’s place at Grand Court,
but Miss Jent was nowhere to be found.” He wondered, ‘If she’s not at home, where could she be?‘
Upon hearing this news, Ethan felt a pang of self–blame. “Should I have not met Donna? Maybe Madelyn wouldn’t
have gone missing like this! Did Donna see Madelyn when she returned?”
Leyton shook his head. “I’m not certain. Miss Jent is usually quite deliberate in her actions. Besides, she’s been
aware of the situation between you and Miss Jolie for some time now.”
Ethan was taken aback. “When did she find out?”
Leyton explained, “It was back when you were still in the hospital. George mentioned Miss Jolie to Miss Jent, but he
didn’t go into much detail. While Miss Jent may not know everything about your history with Miss Jolie, if she did find
out, she’d likely be understanding. Mr. Arnold, if you truly wanted to be with Miss Jent, maybe you shouldn’t have
gone to the hospital today.‘
Ethan lowered his eyes, lost in thought. Deep inside, he wished Madelyn would sometimes act without thinking as it
would make him feel like she cared. At times, he also questioned whether Madelyn had truly loved him.
