The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 691
But Yvonne was okay with it. In a short while, she and Zach would be getting their marriage certificate at the Clerk of Court’s office. She believed that after today, she would be Mrs. Jardin officially; the one and only wife of Zach, and nobody could challenge her status.
Everybody had their own self-centered side, and Yvonne was no different. She wasn’t willing to put up with their relationship for long. Once she and Zach got married, she secretly planned to send Madelyn overseas.
Yvonne sidled up to Madelyn, lowering her voice to say, “Ethan never really planned on marrying Donna, you know.
“He’d made up his mind before you left. If you weren’t okay with the kid, he was going to give the child back to Donna and ask her to move out of the Arnold residence. He’d find someone else to raise the child,” Yvonne confided quietly.
She continued, “Remember that news about Ethan getting married two years ago? All a sham. He did the interview to put on a show because Donna was threatening the child’s life. And here’s something I haven’t told you yet: Donna died in that accident two years ago.”
“When Ethan went to Roshya to find you, Donna tagged along. They got into an argument while driving, and they crashed the car.” Yvonne then revealed, “Ethan’s alive, but he’s in a coma at the hospital.”
Hearing this, Madelyn felt her heart lurch. “What are you talking about?” she asked. Yvonne said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I told you Ethan was okay because Zach was there, and no one can challenge Zach right now. He’s suppressed all information about the Arnold family and warned the media not to cover any Arnold family news.
“The Arnolds didn’t make it through the last financial crisis. They’ve liquidated shares and sold off a lot of assets. All they have left is their family home.”
Madelyn felt dizzy and nearly collapsed, but Yvonne steadied her just in time.
“How can this be?” Madelyn choked out, staring at Yvonne. Yvonne replied, “When Ethan was taken to the hospital, the doctors said his legs were already in bad shape. After this crash, they said even if he wakes up, he’ll probably be paralyzed from the waist down. He’ll spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.”
Madelyn couldn’t believe what she was hearing; Ethan had been perfectly fine when he was in France.
“I’m telling you this because I know you still care about Ethan,” Yvonne implored. “Could you visit him? Maybe your presence will help him wake up.
She went on, “You gave him a reason to live once before. You saved him from his darkest moments. You can do it again.” Tears clogged Madelyn’s throat as she tried to speak. “Where is he?” she finally managed to ask.
“He’s at SereneCare Hospital. My mom’s with him. She’d be thrilled if you came,” Yvonne answered. “As for Zach, don’t worry. I’ll handle the distraction. Even the bodyguards work for me. We’re going to apply for a marriage license shortly; you can use that opportunity to slip away.”
Just then, the door swung open. Zach and Kelvin entered the room. Zach’s icy gaze swept over Madelyn, almost as if she weren’t there at all.
He hadn’t yet picked up on Madelyn’s distressed state. Seizing the opportunity, Yvonne walked over to Zach, grinning as she looped her arm through his. “Once we’ve got our marriage license, my mom’s planned a little celebration for us. She even found a bottle of vintage wine to toast our new life together,” she said.
