The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 135
Just as Zach picked up Madelyn, a snowflake fell onto his nose. It was cold and quickly melted upon contact with his body temperature.
He lifted his head and saw that it was starting to snow heavily. The snowflakes fell and remained on the ground before they melted shortly after. Memories flooded Zach’s mind.
When he joined the Jent family, Madelyn was eight.
“Look, Zach! It’s snowing!”
Madelyn was eleven. “Zach, can we go build a snowman outside? I like doing that the most!”
He thought of eighteen-year-old Madelyn. “Zach, if it snows in Ventropolis again this year, I’ll confess my feelings for you. Then you’ll be my boyfriend, okay?” she said.
‘You did nothing wrong, Madelyn! But… It was wrong for you to be born into the Jent family. What you’ve gone through is only the beginning,’ he said to himself. 1
Madelyn wandered in the dark for a long time.
She felt like a soulless and mindless puppet that was being controlled. When a light appeared in front of her, she walked toward it.
She slowly regained consciousness.
“Ahhh…” the person on the bed inhaled sharply.
Madelyn stared at the gray ceiling above her. She smelled the somewhat familiar and faint scent of camellia flowers. She saw Zach on the left side of her bed. He wore a black sweater and had an air of intimidation.
‘Seeing him here is so surreal. Am I hallucinating? Why am I here?’ wondered Madelyn.
“What happened to Madelyn, Mr. Jardin? Why’d she get hurt all of a sudden? She was fine yesterday.”
That’s Rosario’s voice,’ she thought.
“You’re awake.”
Rosario walked over with a bowl of soup. She gazed at Madelyn with concern, “My child, ar
you alright?”
She continued, “Don’t move. Mr. Jardin is cleaning your wound for you.”
Zach was stitching her wound without any anesthetics. Meanwhile, Jadie held her other hand. to prevent her from moving around.
“Zach, why don’t we send Madelyn to the hospital?”
Madelyn tightly clenched her fist. She was in immense pain. It felt as if someone were ripping off the flesh on her arm.
“It’ll be over soon,” replied Zach.
Madelyn kept silent and waited for it to be over.
‘He could’ve sent me to the hospital, but he brought me here instead… What’s he trying to do?” she wondered.
Jadie held Madelyn’s cold hand and said with concern, “Zach, Madelyn’s hand is really cold. Why don’t I give her that blanket in my room?”
Madelyn closer her eyes. She felt a little dizzy and nauseous, perhaps due to excessive blood
loss.
Rosario felt incredibly heartbroken.
“My child, do you still feel sick? Have some soup. It’ll help you feel better,” she said as she held a spoon to Madelyn’s mouth.
Madelyn opened her mouth and swallowed the soup. She looked at Rosario, “Sorry for making you worry, Rosario. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine after getting some rest.”
“What happened, my child?”
