The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1122
Zach said, “Cecilia’s goal is to sow discord, and you’ve done well on this matter.”
Blake thought, ‘What? Is Mr. Jardin praising me?’
She turned back to look and saw Zach had already walked far away. ‘Did that really happen?’
She could not believe that Zach could be so nice. Back when she was working under Kevin, she would get scolded three or four times a day. She was very happy that she was actually being praised today.
Madelyn, seeing Zach returning so quickly after Blake just left not long ago, assumed that the two had met at the elevator door.
Zach frowned when he noticed the box of strawberry cream cake in Madelyn’s hands. He immediately took it from her. “Did you forget what the doctor said? You can’t eat these things as you’ve just woken up.”
Madelyn responded, “I just had a little bite. Did you say anything to Blake when you met her just now?”
Zach helped Madelyn lie down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He then checked the time on his watch. “You still have to wait a while before taking the medicine. Rest for now. If you feel uncomfortable, call me.”
Zach had been a dominant figure in the business world for many years. He was admired by many people and was someone nobody dared to offend. But now, he actually stayed with a woman by her hospital bed, taking care of everything for her. Someone like Zach could easily have countless women willingly sleep with him, and even do anything for him willingly.
For some reason, Madelyn appeared to have become his one weak spot. If someone were to use Madelyn to threaten Zach, he would likely be willing to offer that person everything. The outward perception of their wedding was very positive, with people envying and admiring them.
Madelyn was lost in her thought, ‘This so-called affection of Zach is nothing more than a facade.
‘Only I know what kind of a devil Zach truly is. His kindness is merely a show for others. He’s a true businessman, prioritizing his own interests. How could a person like him fall in love?
‘Zach, just like me, is merely putting on a show.’
After resting for some time in the hospital, Madelyn’s condition gradually improved.
However, as for Kai, Lana heard him keep coughing when he was reviewing patient records. She was worried about his health, but whenever she asked him about it, he would just reassure her that he was fine.
Lana, supporting her belly, replaced his coffee with a cup of warm water. Kai grabbed the cup and took a sip before glancing down.
Lana explained, “Ever since you woke up from what happened, you’ve been coughing all the time. I was worried that coffee might be bad for your throat, so I switched it to water for you.
Kai clenched his fist and coughed onto it. He had been frowning. “Zach always acts without considering the consequences. I’ll see how he explains himself when Frida returns.”
Lana brought a chair and sat beside him. “Is Yvonne’s condition very bad now?”
Kai responded, “She has irreversible vocal cord damage, and as a doctor, I can only do my best. The final outcome depends on fate. If what happened to Maddie is truly Yvonne’s doing, this is what Yvonne deserves. I won’t even help her treat her face.”
Kai noticed the change in Lana’s expression and sensed something. So, he had to explain, “Maddie’s mother raised me. I only see Maddie as my sister. You don’t need to be jealous of her. I promised Ms. Wood to protect Maddie, and I can’t go back on my word.
Lana nodded. “I understand. I’ve never misunderstood anything between you. It’s just that I feel you might be overly concerned about her. Sometimes, you’d leave right away just because she called. I…”
A hint of happiness flashed in Kai’s narrow eyes. “Hey, you’re always overthinking. It’s getting late, you should sleep. I’ll sleep after I finish looking at these case files.”
Lana believed Kai.
