The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 518
Madelyn was lost in thought. ‘Is that so? But why was Zach after him? I don’t think Zach was helping the police; he was clearly trying to kill the man. What kind of grudge does Zach hold against him that he would send Fred to personally go after him?’
Madelyn brought a bouquet of sunflowers with her. She bought them at the florist shop she usually went to, and these were the only flowers left when she went.
Mya’s family was in the room with her, together with Kennedy and Lem. Mya took a bite of apple and another bite of peach.
‘She’s got such a good appetite. It seems like I was worried for nothing,’ she thought. Madelyn felt relieved seeing how Mya was fine. She felt grateful but also guilty toward Mya. Mya immediately spotted Madelyn standing at the door. She shouted in excitement, “Madelyn!”
Ethan did not like crowds, so he and Leyton stood outside and waited for her. Madelyn walked into the ward and saw a couple. For a moment, Madelyn could not tell which parent Mya took after.
Mya’s father spoke, “You must be here for Mya.”
Madelyn nodded.
“Yep.”
“You two can chat. Mya’s father and I are going downstairs to grab something to eat.”
“Alright.”
Mya’s parents walked out of the ward. Madelyn overheard the conversation between the two.
“What does this child eat? She’s good- looking, unlike our Mya, who eats five loaves of bread rolls in a single sitting. She even looks like a bread roll,” whispered Mya’s mother.
Mya’s father replied under his breath, I know, right? Thank goodness we aren’t poor. An average family wouldn’t be able to feed a child like her. Mya immediately frowned, “Mom, Dad, I hear you. Now everyone knows I can eat five loaves of bread rolls.”
Meanwhile, Lem quietly chuckled to himself. The husband and wife quickly left the room. Madelyn sat by Mya’s bed.
“You’d still look cute if you put on some weight.”
Lem could no longer hold in his laughter, “Exactly! An average person wouldn’t be able to stomach five whole bread roll loaves in a single sitting.”
Mya broke into tears and cried out to Madelyn, “Madelyn… They’re making fun of me.” “I’m not the only one laughing. This guy right here is laughing too,” said Lem.
Kennedy-who was always serious and usually unsmiling- -also had a slight smile on his face. He seemed to find the topic amusing.
“They won’t tell anyone,” Madelyn said as she set the bouquet aside. She continued, “You two must be tired after taking care of her the entire night. Why don’t you guys go home and get some rest? I’ll watch her.”
Kennedy took out his phone and glanced at the time. “Sounds good. I’ve got some matters to attend to. Thanks for taking over.”
Lem left with Kennedy. Madelyn chatted with Mya for nearly an hour. A doctor and a nurse came in to check on Mya’s condition. They removed the gauze on Mya’s neck. Her wound had already scabbed over and was healing.
“Overall, she’s healing fine and in good health. She can be discharged after her hospital bills are paid for,” said the doctor. Madelyn replied, “Alright. Thank you, doctor.”
Ethan had already gotten Leyton to pay for the hospital bills. Mya’s father and Ethan chatted while Madelyn went over to open the passenger door for Mya.
“The exams are coming up, so go home and get some rest. If there’s any material you don’t understand, just call me and ask.”
Before Mya left, she gave Madelyn a tight hug.
“Madelyn… Don’t forget to come visit me in the future. I’ll miss much.” you very “I will,” Madelyn promised. Madelyn watched them leave, but she still felt worried. Ethan walked over and held her hand.
“If you’re still worried, we can pay the Harper family a visit after this.”
“We’d better not disturb Mya…”
Just as they were about to leave, they saw a black car. Zach emerged from the car and helped Jadie out. Jadie looked haggard and gaunt as she leaned weakly on Zach with her arm wrapped in a towel.
