The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 716
Frida continued, “I’ll be right outside. If you need anything, just call me.’ Ethan did not give her a warm look. After Frida left, Madelyn pursed her lips and lowered her eyes as she thought, ‘Ethan and Frida won’t be able to reconcile within such a short period of time. That’s why I didn’t say anything. Besides, this is a family matter, so I can’t interfere.’
Ethan’s face suddenly turned pale and coughed. Madelyn hurriedly patted his back, “The doctor said you’re still weak, so you shouldn’t move around too much. I bought soup for you. Let me feed you.”
She then held a spoon to his lips. Ethan opened his mouth to drink. He kept looking at her. He was not willing to look away even for a second.
He said, “Madelyn… I…”
“Ethan, the past is the past. Let’s not talk about it, okay? For now, let’s focus on healing your sickness. We can talk about everything else after that, okay?”
“Okay. I’ll listen to you.” Ethan had nothing left to ask for. The person he wanted was already here, and this was enough for him.
At Jardin Corporation, Kevin received a message from the hospital. He then walked into the CEO’s office and said, ” Mr. Jardin, Ethan Arnold has woken up!
“Okay.” Zach seemed unsurprised, as if he had already known about it. He asked, “What about Madelyn?”
Kevin hesitantly shook his head, “She should still be in the ward. If she leaves, the bodyguards will report her whereabouts.”
Zach extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He stood up from his chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Naive! She thinks she knows everything just because she’s broadened her horizons a little. And just because of that, she wants to leave…Tomorrow, remove the bodyguards around Ethan and make sure to keep an eye on the Young family. Without my permission, no one’s allowed to leave the hospital!”
Kevin responded, “Yes, Mr. Jardin.”
Madelyn stayed until an hour before Zach finished work. She then made an excuse to leave. As soon as she reached the door of the baby’s ward, she heard the baby crying. She thought, ‘How could I forget about him?!!
She hurriedly entered the ward. A nurse was carrying him trying to soothe him. As soon as the nurse saw Madelyn, she handed the baby over to her, “I’m sorry, miss. He cries a lot, and I couldn’t calm him down.”
Madelyn responded, “It’s okay. You can go and do your work. I’ll take care of him.”
“Okay.” The nurse left the room while carrying a medical tray. Madelyn said to the baby, “Dal, don’t cry. Are you hungry? Shall I prepare some milk for you?”
“Dal? Not a bad name!” Zach’s voice suddenly echoed from behind. Madelyn was startled. She turned around and saw Zach walking toward her. He removed his black blazer. The room was kept at a constant temperature. It was not cold.
Madelyn did not respond and just continued to gently sway the baby in her arms. It was quite strange because this baby would cry when anyone carried him other than Madelyn. Even if Madelyn did not hold him, he would smile when he saw her.
She thought, ‘I just came downstairs for less than ten minutes, and he’s back. If I’d come down even ten minutes later, he’d surely be suspicious. Perhaps Madelyn felt guilty, she said without looking at him, “Why did you come back so early today?”
Zach stood beside her. He softly touched the baby’s face. Dalton suddenly looked unhappy. Zach responded, “I came back early to spend time with you. Don’t you like that?”
Madelyn was speechless, ‘He knows very well whether I like it or not. There’s no need for him to ask me that.’
Zach asked, “Seems like Ethan has woken up. Haven’t you visited him?”
