The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 429
Ethan had confined Forrest to the basement, initially intending to mete out a minor punishment.
The last time Madelyn went missing, Ethan had organized an investigation.
Witnesses from neighboring apartments had observed Forrest leaving Madelyn’s rented apartment, and there were even reports of heated arguments.
Yet, it wasn’t as straightforward as Ethan had initially assumed. During the period when Madelyn wasn’t residing in that apartment, someone had observed a student wearing a Ventro cloud High School uniform frequently entering and exiting the premises.
Ethan was aware that this student was none other than Forrest. He no longer cared about whatever history Madelyn had with Forrest; his tolerance for Forrest had vanished entirely. Outside the hospital room door, Margaret was anxious. She glanced back and saw many well-dressed bodyguards at the entrance, immediately sensing that something was amiss.
She took out her phone and made a call.
After spending the night with Sylvia, he found her not too bad. After all, she had given her a small fee, though not much, it was roughly equivalent to a day’s wage for her.
Madelyn received a call from Margaret. Jasmine was personally looking after her in the hospital room. She poured a cup of hot water and placed it by Madelyn’s bedside. “You always seem to trouble people, don’t you? Luckily, you’re okay. Don’t be too upset about missing the Math Olympiad; you’ll have another chance to do well.”
Madelyn replied with a neutral tone because the person she didn’t want to see was still in the room.
“Rest well. If you need anything, I’ll be right outside.”
“Thank you.”
“We’re all family; no need to be polite.”
Indeed, they were family because just the week before, Hayson and Jasmine had obtained their marriage license. Hayson believed that a second marriage didn’t warrant a grand celebration, so he had simply informed everyone and didn’t host a formal wedding banquet.
Madelyn felt her phone vibrating beneath her pillow. When Jasmine left the hospital room, Madelyn picked up her phone, but it had stopped vibrating. She saw that the caller was Margaret.
However, Margaret had sent Madelyn a voice message: “[Ms. Jent, the lady I was taking care of has woken up, but your boyfriend, Good heavens, he’s terrifying! He burst in earlier with another injured boy… I think I’ve seen him before, like your classmate… Oh my, I can’t talk anymore; someone’s
coming! I don’t want to get caught, so I’m heading back now.]”
Madelyn’s heart clenched. ‘Ethan went to see Sylvia! He hates Sylvia so much; this can’t be good.’
She hadn’t realized that Forrest had been in his hands all along. “What else has Ethan done to Forrest?’
Madelyn ran her fingers through her hair, feeling utterly drained. She shouldn’t have gotten involved, but when she thought about the debt she owed Forrest, how could she not interfere? And there were moments when she had considered him a friend because of what he had done for her. In the hospital room at Community Hospital, Ethan said, “Mrs. Arnold, favors aren’t asked for like this!”
Forrest seemned to be at the point of exhaustion. He was held by bodyguards, completely immobilized. He shouted at Sylvia,” Don’t beg him!”
