Ch. 1271..1280
Chapter 1271
Kai was convinced that if Kevin were to pursue his own endeavors independently, he might not be worse than Zach. However, Kevin did not have a reputable family background, and no one else could fully understand what he had gone through.
No one could choose which family they were born into. Kevin had his own difficulties, and the issues he carried with him were not something that could simply be overlooked.
Kai believed that if Blake truly wanted to be with Kevin, it would not be that simple; they had to overcome the challenges on their own.
Kai thought, ‘During this process, Blake needs to be independent and grow. If she continues acting like she is now, always relying on others, her relationship with Kevin won’t have a positive outcome.’
Blake never knew it was so difficult to resolve something on her own. ‘Why is Cecilia doing all this?’
In the end, Blake chose to confront Cecilia in person in the CEO’s office.
Cecilia straightforwardly said, “I just feel a bit tired managing the company alone. Is there a problem with wanting someone to help me manage the company?”
Blake replied, “Mr. Jardin will wake up soon. What you’re doing is harming the company.”
Cecilia was unconcerned with it. “Is there a problem with me selling my shares? If there’s nothing else, would you like to go out for a meal with me?”
“I lose my appetite when I see you.” Blake immediately turned around and left the office. She thought, ‘I can’t trust whatever Cecilia said. Why is she selling the shares to the public? What’s the real reason behind it?’
After Blake took the elevator down, she happened to encounter a few people from the marketing department chatting. Blake stayed in the corner, unnoticed by anyone.
Two people engaged in a conversation. One of them said, “I’m starting my annual leave next week. I’m planning to go overseas. How about you? Have you applied for your leave?”
The other person responded, “Not yet! I still have a ton of work waiting for me. It’s so annoying!”
Blake suddenly realized something, ‘ Overseas! How could I forget that?!’
She recalled that a year ago when Zach found Madelyn, he had already transferred most of his assets abroad.
She remembered that most of Zach’s main businesses were overseas, and thus Jardin Corporation’s business interests were insignificant to him.
Blake continued to be lost in her thoughts, ‘When Kevin was still working here, he was already helping with Mr. Jardin’s immigration procedures. Originally, Mr. Jardin had planned to take Madelyn overseas after their wedding.
‘If I’m correct, this is why Kai wasn’t worried when he found out that Cecilia was selling the shares.’
She slapped her forehead. “I’m so forgetful. How could I forget about this?
Blake decided she should not be concerned with that matter anymore.
Jardin Corporation’s shares being sold was a big deal. It quickly attracted the attention of both local and international media outlets.
Madelyn, who had not been seen for a long time, was in a remote village facing the sea. She was wearing a thin long skirt and already had her long hair cut short. She looked at the news headlines on her phone, and frowned.
Chapter 1272
Madelyn wondered, ‘Why’d Zach allow Jardin Corporation’s shares to be sold? Is he still unconscious in the hospital?’
On the vast seaside, waves were surging and crashing against the shore. There was a little girl with a ponytail. She was around eight years old, barefoot, and wearing clothes made of seaweed and fish skin. She was holding a necklace made of seashells. The girl unsteadily walked up to Madelyn and spoke in fluent Roshyian.
This location was in a secluded village. The village was built very close to the mountain. The little girl said to Madelyn, “Hi. This bracelet is for you.”
According to local legend, this place used to be a barren desert. Once the daughter of a god made a grievous mistake and as punishment, was sentenced to wander here for eternity. She could not find a water source and eventually died of thirst, her body turning into the sea that surrounded and nourished this area. The people here believed that the seashells and conches they found in this place were blessed, and if they were made into jewelry and given to someone, it would bring blessings and protection to that person.
Here, giving someone a seashell bracelet was not just an expression of feelings but also a way of courtship.
Madelyn received a text from Kai: [The person really liked the bracelet you sent last time. Thank you.]
Madelyn hesitated while typing on her phone. She wanted to ask Kai about Zach’s situation. It had been so long, and she had not revealed any information about Zach to any media outlets. The only news about Zach was on the day after their wedding when an official account falsely claimed that Madelyn and Zach were on their honeymoon and that no one knew their whereabouts.
Apart from that, there had not been any news about Zach.
Madelyn had always been feeling uneasy ever since coming here. Back then in the wedding room at Eternal Seasons, the dagger plunged into Zach’s chest causing both their bodies to be covered in blood, including her hands. That night, no matter how she washed her hands, she could not get rid of the blood stains on her palms.
After some internal struggle, Madelyn finally asked Kai the question on her mind: [Is he okay?]
The little girl said, “Come play with me.
Madelyn, holding the little girl’s hand, stood up and walked toward the beautiful seaside. She casually took some photos with her phone and shared them online using a private account. She had posted pictures of her life using this account in recent days, documenting her activities. Her profile picture was just an ordinary ocean. All the texts and images were visible only to herself.
The sea breeze tousled her hair and lifted her skirt as she walked with the barefoot little girl. Then, Madelyn’s phone vibrated, and she looked at the message: [He’ll wake up very soon, don’t worry. Live your life without guilt. ]
Upon looking at it, Madelyn finally let go of the guilt she had been carrying with her. The place she was at was safe, and isolated from the world. No one would come to this place, and no one would leave this place either.
Madelyn could experience a free and happy life here.
Kai was unsurprised that Madelyn was aware of the news about Jardin Corporation. After all, the changes in Jardin Corporation had caused quite a stir in international news outlets. Kai thought, ‘Even if Zach wakes up to find that Jardin Corporation had collapsed, he won’t care about it. He probably knew this would happen. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a risk and ended up so miserable.
‘Zach, I’ve done all I can for you. From now on, I won’t interfere in your affairs with Madelyn. Whether you can win her back, it’ll all depend on you.’
The nanny walked in from outside. ” Mr. Stewart, everything is packed. Do you need me to get a taxi?”
Kai put away his phone and stood up.” No need. Someone will come to pick you all up later. You and Lana can leave the hospital together later.”
The nanny asked, “Aren’t you leaving with us?”
Chapter 1273
Kai remained silent for a while before saying, “I’ll go back on my own and join you all later. Don’t worry, it’s very safe there.”
The nanny replied, “All right, I’ll go call ma’am now.”
A black Cadillac sedan was parked in front of Vanguard Hospital. The driver wore a black suit and white gloves. Lana, holding her daughter in her arms, looked at Kai with concern. ” Aren’t you leaving with us?
“Andrew, I’m afraid to be alone. Can you accompany me?”
Kai ruffled Lana’s hair to comfort her.”
Once I finish what I need to do, I’ll come find you. You’ll be going to my mentor’s house. He and his wife have devoted their whole lives to medicine. They don’t have their own children and they treat me like their own, so they’ll be good to you. You don’t need to be too formal with them. When they meet you, they’ll like you a lot.”
Lana did not want to cause Kai trouble or have him worry about her by staying here. So, she got into the car. “Come join me soon, okay?”
“Okay.” Kai’s gaze became intense as he watched the car gradually drive away.
He said inwardly, ‘Lana, I owe you a huge debt, so I’ll pay it by having the real Andrew return to your side. I’ll heal him and give him back to you!’
Previously, Andrew’s heart had stopped pumping, but Kai managed to save him in time. Unfortunately, Andrew’s condition was still not optimistic, so he had been sent to Kai’s mentor’s hospital, and was now undergoing treatment.
Apart from Zach’s matters, Kai’s most challenging issue was Andrew.
If Lana continued to stay by Kai’s side, he could not guarantee her safety. He did not want her to be harmed because of him.
Kai pondered, ‘After some time without taking the psychiatric medication, Lana’s memory will gradually recover.
‘Maybe… This might be our last time seeing each other.’
Inside a villa built on a hill, Cecilia received the news about Kai and Lana. ” Tsk, you’re in love with your sister-in- law and worked so hard to have finally won over her. And now you’re sending her away. Kai, I really don’t know what you’re thinking!
“You love her. If it were me, I’d use any means to have my loved one by my side.
Cecilia removed her fake nails. Her nails now were all trimmed nicely. She was dressed in a light-colored long dress and had dyed her hair black. Her hair was straight and hanging down behind her shoulders. She slowly wiped the back of Zach’s hand with a towel.” In the past life, Madelyn took care of you like this, right? I’ve never regarded someone like her highly. She’s only fit to spend her whole life in a villa, scared and in hiding.
“If you want, I can be like her. What do you think?
“I can’t wait for you to wake up. I want you to see the house I’ve built for you here. It’s just us here…
“No one can disturb us.”
Cecilia was holding Zach’s hand and suddenly felt his fingertip move.
Chapter 1274
“Doctor… Doctor!” Cecilia, full of emotions, called for the doctor. The doctor quickly arrived and examined Zach in just a few minutes. After checking his wound, the doctor said, ” His wound is healing well. If his fingers did move just now, it indicates a positive sign of neurological recovery for him. He might wake up even earlier than planned.”
“That’s great.” Cecilia looked very happy. She waved her hand. “I got it, you may leave now.”
This was good news. Cecilia took out an ointment and sat on the edge of the bed. She dabbed some ointment on her finger before opening Zach’s shirt to apply it to the healed wound. “Zach, I don’t know who gave you this bracelet, but it should be from Madelyn. You heard everything Kai said to you, right?
“Now, you probably can’t wait to wake up and see her, huh? You really underestimate my way of dealing with things. This scar… I should have it left on you, so you’ll never forget how you got this scar.”
The ointment Cecilia used on Zach was the best, with a market value of over a hundred thousand dollars. It not only could help remove the scar, but it could also accelerate wound healing. She then wiped off the ointment on Zach’s wound.
Cecilia heard her phone vibrate. She received a reply: [Ms. Samford, the scope of where this bracelet possibly came from is too broad; we can’t trace its origin at all. Besides, all coastal areas have these seashell bracelets, but none match it exactly.]
Her expression clearly showed that she did not care about it at all. She stood up, grabbed her phone, and walked out of the room. The call connected three seconds before it would be missed.
Cecilia said, “Zach will wake up very soon. Are you ready to resign? As long as you agree, I can guarantee that Blake and you will be able to get married smoothly. If you change your mind, I don’t mind. The Xander family is dispensable to me.”
Liam asked, “Why sell the shares of Jardin Corporation? What are you up to?
Cecilia crossed her arm over her chest, supporting the other that held the phone. “I shouldn’t tell you, but, considering we’re partners, I can share my plan with you. The reason I sold the shares is because I’ve found someone more suitable to be the CEO of Jardin Corporation than Zach.
“If Zach becomes my life partner, he won’t need to be a CEO. The money I earn for him will be enough for him to spend for a lifetime.”
Cecilia had spent five hundred million dollars to build this Villa. However, this amount of money was insignificant to her.
She continued saying, “Let me tell you, Kevin will soon receive the news of Zach waking up. When he comes back, you won’t have a chance to be with Blake. Think about it carefully. If you agree, Susan will give you the resignation agreement. Someone will replace you for your position in StartReading.”
Fifteen minutes after Cecilia ended the call, she received a message from Susan: [As per your instructions, Liam has already completed the resignation process.]
Cecilia smiled with pursed lips.
She was lost in her thoughts, ‘Liam’s resignation is all within my plan. He who has nothing, desires love more than anything. Moreover, he’s already fallen for Blake. He won’t let go of her so easily. Humans are selfish.
‘If someone behaves like Madelyn, I can easily kill them. After last night’s events, it’s time for me to stop.’
She said, “Zach, if I can’t get your wealth, no one else can either.”
Cecilia thought that instead of wasting effort searching for those things, she would rather destroy everything.
What she wanted all along was Zach to be by her side. She did not care if he loved her or not.
Chapter 1275
Cecilia just did not want to see Madelyn and Zach be together.
She said, “Zach, once Southern Haven Villas is demolished, your child will be gone, and finally when Madelyn is dead, I’ll be with you in this villa forever.”
The news of Liam’s resignation spread throughout the entire Jardin Corporation. Among those most emotional about it was Blake.
In the office, Blake, holding some meeting documents, walked up to Liam and questioned him, “Why did you resign? At first, I didn’t believe it. I merely went upstairs for a meeting, and when I came back, I found out that you resigned.
“Liam, are you really cooperating with Cecilia?”
Liam replied, “Blake, my return to the Xander family is inevitable, it’s not because of Cecilia or you. Do you really think I’m that kind of a person? Do you think I have some ulterior motive in doing this and then forcing you to marry me?”
“We’ve known each other for so long and you still don’t trust me!”
Blake hesitated. She did not know how to respond. Her eyes were filled with regret as she ran her hand through her forehead. “Liam, I didn’t mean that… I’m s-sorry. My emotions have been off lately, and I’ve been imagining things. I’m just curious why you suddenly decided to resign.”
Liam replied, “I’ve told you this before; I won’t stay at StartReading forever. I have my own things to do.”
Blake asked, “W-What is it? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Liam gave Blake a thoughtful look. “I did tell you, but you’ve never remembered what I said.
“I’m going back now. I’ve handed the remaining work to Olivia. She’ll take over my position.”
Blake had mixed feelings as she watched him leave. Liam was the only person she trusted the most in this company. Now that he had left, Blake suddenly felt lost.
She said, “Liam, what about the marriage?”
Liam stopped outside the door. “Blake, that was my one-sided wish. It has nothing to do with you. I won’t force you.” He turned around and looked at Blake. “No matter what, he’s still my father. He’s sick, and I can’t just abandon him.
“I won’t go back on what I’ve said before. I’m always on your side.”
Liam finally left, leaving Blake feeling like she was fighting alone. Olivia reported to the company in the afternoon.
At night, in the villa on the hill, Cecilia wore a sexy lace dress, waiting for a man to arrive.
When he did, all the servants were dismissed. Late at night, Cecilia’s passionate and sensual moan echoed in the room.
In the room with the lights off, the moonlight outside the window was serene. It shone through the window onto the huge bed. In the darkness, the handsome man opened his eyes, gazing at the door.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning Chapter 1276 by Max Charming
Cecilia and the man had sex until the middle of the night. She panted as he carried her to the bed. She had nothing on, with only a thin blanket covering her body.
Exhausted, she immediately fell asleep after closing her eyes. After the man left, the huge villa finally quieted down.
Cecilia woke up around noon. She supported her head as she stared at Zach beside her, who looked as if he was in a deep sleep. She ran her slender fingers across his handsome face. With his eyes closed, he lay still, breathing weakly.
This reminded Cecilia of their past life when, after their intimate moments, she used to enjoy watching him sleep peacefully. However, Zach was always vigilant. No matter how late they finished their intimate act, he would not drift into a deep sleep. He would wake up at even the slightest sound. She could never caress his face like she was doing now.
Aside from his capabilities, Zach’s greatest advantage was his charming face that could captivate countless women.
Whether it was the current him or the Zach in his fifties in Cecilia’s past life, she found him mature and charming. He exuded the aura of someone in control. There was no one quite like him in the entire Ventropolis.
Cecilia was lost in thoughts, ‘I admit I’m obsessed with Zach. For both my past life and current life, I invested all my time in him, helping him on his journey to success. I watched him become someone that everyone envies.
‘How many people of his age could become the most powerful person in Ventropolis solely by their own efforts?
Even those with great authority have to listen to Zach.
‘I don’t know what Zach has up his sleeve, but I don’t care.’
A servant knocked on the door, “Ms. Samford, lunch is ready. May I come in?
Cecilia looked at the messy room with scattered underwear and fragments of outerwear. She indifferently got up from the bed, completely undressed, and said, “Come in.”
The servant caught a glimpse of Cecilia’s naked body and quickly lowered her head. The servant was used to such scenes. “Ms. Samford, would you like to bathe and change? I can prepare a bath for you right now.”
With an air of arrogance resembling a queen, Cecilia stood in front of the full- length mirror, relishing the marks left by the man from last night. She said, ” Bring me my clothes.”
“Okay.”
The servant hurried to the cloakroom and fetched a cozy robe for Cecilia before helping her to put it on. Cecilia condescendingly smirked when she saw the servant being so nervous, ” Don’t be so nervous; you’ll get used to it.
“Do you think my figure is good?”
The servant replied without hesitation, “Yes. You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”
This response pleased Cecilia, “Go and prepare the bath. I’ll take a bath now.”
“Okay, Ms. Samford.”
The heating was on in the villa. The temperature inside was comfortable, extremely different from the weather outside.
After Cecilia took the bath, she noticed the weather was nice. So, she lay on the balcony of the master bedroom on the second floor, basking in the sun.
Shortly after, a man driving a multi- purpose vehicle exited hurriedly from the car, entered the villa, and quickly went to the second floor.
Upon seeing the medical equipment in the room and Cecilia enjoying the sun while having afternoon tea on the balcony, he approached her. He spoke, ” Ms. Samford, we’ve arranged everything according to your instructions. Do you really want to… blow up the Southern Haven Villas?
“If Fred’s people got hurt, not only you but a few of us won’t be able to escape.”
Cecilia replied, “I’ve said it; I want it to be an accident. Do you understand?
“I want it to be done smoothly. An explosion that no one can escape. Or it can be a massive fire that will completely destroy Southern Haven Villas.”
Chapter 1277
Cecilia continued, “Oh, by the way. That kid… Zach really cares a lot about that kid. So, I’ll make whatever matters most to him disappear from this world.
“Got it, Ms. Samford. I’ll take care of it right away. Rest assured, I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly tonight. I won’t let you down.” The man anticipated eagerly and smirked, “Ms. Samford, what do you think about the company’s shares we discussed earlier?
Cecilia smirked and poked the man’s shoulder with her finger. “Don’t worry. You’ll get the shares you want.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it now. Wait for my good news when it gets dark.”
‘Southern Haven Villas has gone down the drain, and the kid is gone. Madelyn, I don’t believe you won’t show up when this news spreads like wildfire. You can’t even protect your kid. I’d like to see when you plan to stop being a coward.’
Madelyn was too soft-hearted. Even if it was not her own kid, she could not bear to see him get hurt. Cecilia thought, ‘Even if you’re hiding in the shadows, so what? I’ve got a hundred ways to find you.’
Overseas in Roshya, Madelyn, who was sleeping, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. In her dream, she saw Dalton crying and calling out to her. Except for Zach, she also never let go of Dalton. For some reason, she always dreamt of him. Just thinking about him being alone with no one to take care of him, the pain in her heart just would not go away.
Madelyn anxiously picked up her phone and dialed a number. Kai was still in the office studying medical cases. When he saw the call, he felt a bit surprised. He answered, “Maddie, what’s up? Do you need me for something urgent?”
Madelyn clutched her painful chest and said, “I dreamt something happened to Dal. Can you help me check the Southern Haven Villas? I have this bad feeling inside.”
Kai took a deep breath and sighed heavily. “Maddie, Dal isn’t your kid. Forget it. I’ll go check out Southern Haven Villas if you’re really worried. Did you call just for this? Aren’t you afraid Cecilia might be monitoring my phone and find out about you in the process?”
Madelyn pursed her lips. She touched her sweaty forehead and said with concern, “I don’t know what’s happening to me. I keep dreaming that something befall Dal lately.”
Kai chuckled and shook his head. “I only know there’s a strong maternal bond, but your situation is difficult to explain medically. I don’t have much going on at five in the evening. How about this? I’ll head over shortly to have a look. If you’re missing the kid, just give me a call. Zach won’t wake up anytime soon anyway.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Chapter 1278
In a dimly lit room with thick curtains drawn, the man lying in the bed had opened his eyes. However, he was currently unable to move his limbs. The nurse tended to him and moistened his lips with a cotton swab.
Upon seeing someone entering, she said, “Dr. Stewart, the patient’s condition is still the same. After we saved his life, he remains conscious but unable to move.”
Kai waved his hand, and the nurse left the room. He approached, sat by the bedside, and said, “Andrew, this is the first time I’ve earnestly called you that. You can hear me clearly now. At this point, I find it pointless. After all these years, with Zach as an example, I have no regrets about reaching this point.
“I have no connection with the Stewart family and am not your father’s child. Back then, entering the Stewart family
was a coincidence. I assumed Kai’s identity when the real Kai died when he was wandering.
“My real surname is Blinken. Twenty years ago, enemies tried to kill me, but luckily, I survived. Later, I encountered Kai. Before he fell ill and passed away, he entrusted me with a jade pendant, a symbol of the Stewart family’s heritage.
“Back then, I adopted a one-step-at-a- time attitude while staying with the Stewart family, never expecting so many years to pass in the blink of an eye. As for Lana, I’ve never had anything with her. Her child is yours.”
Andrew shifted his eyes and looked to the side while on the bed. Noticing his reaction, Kai chuckled and said, “I do like her, that’s true. However, I disdained using those tactics to win someone over. Take your treatment seriously, Andrew. You have your wife and kids waiting for you at home. Don’t let my efforts to pull you back from the brink go to waste.”
Kai stood up and left the room. As for the Stewart family, he never coveted their wealth. With Hayson’s death, Kai avenged a long-standing score successfully, leaving him with no regrets. Now, he was waiting for Zach to wake up to reveal the truth. If Zach found out, the first person he would not spare would be him.
Kai was driving smoothly toward Southern Haven Villas when he felt his phone buzz. Checking it, he saw an anonymous message: [Someone is planning to commit murder at Southern Haven Villas and stage it as an accident. Hurry over!]
Upon seeing this message, Kai was uncertain of its authenticity but decided to believe it ultimately. He immediately stepped on the gas and headed swiftly toward Southern Haven Villas.
Underneath the place, someone had dug a tunnel. As a maid passed by, she suddenly caught a whiff of a pungent smell. She asked, “Did you guys smell that? Why does it seem like there’s a gas leak? Could it be leaking? Go check it out quickly.”
After inspecting thoroughly, the maid was still puzzled. “I checked, and everything seems fine. I don’t see any issues.”
Fearing something bad would happen, Margaret, who was holding Dalton in her arms, hurriedly went upstairs. ” Hurry up. Open all the windows to let the smell dissipate.”
Kai arrived without any hindrance. As he entered Southern Haven Villas, the gas smell was totally gone. Upon seeing him, Margaret immediately recognized him. “Oh my! Isn’t this Dr. Stewart? Didn’t your wife come with you?”
He surveyed the surroundings. “Has anything happened recently?”
Most of the management in the villa now fell on Margaret. She answered, ” There hasn’t been much going on. Dr. Stewart, you’re here to visit Dalton, right? I’ll take you upstairs. Dalton has been so well-behaved lately. Usually, he plays by himself when nobody bothers him. Other than that, not much else is happening. Sometimes, he’s too noisy, making the villa quite chaotic.”
Chapter 1279
Margaret glanced over and, to her surprise, saw a little kid coming down the stairs. She was startled by the sight of him standing up along the railing. She exclaimed, “Oh my! Little rascal, what are you up to? Weren’t you playing with toy planes? When did you come down? If anything happens, how would I explain to Mr. Jardin and Ms. Jent?”
Kai looked at the child and noticed he was also looking at him with clear eyes. However, he could tell at a glance that this child was far from simple. Despite being so young, there was mischief in those little eyes.
Just then, Dalton held a photo and babbled unclear words to Kai. Margaret had been with him for a while and understood his temperament. Seeing this behavior, she knew something was up and brought Dalton to Kai. She said, “Dalton seems to like you. We rarely have outsiders at home, so seeing you is a novelty for him. Dalton, this is your uncle. Say ‘uncle’.”
Kai raised his eyebrow and asked, “He can talk now?”
Margaret proudly exclaimed, “Oh my! This kid is like a prodigy. He’s incredibly smart. Whatever I teach him, he learns in no time. It’s just that he’s still young.”
Kai said without hiding anything, “I can see he’s got a lot on his mind even though he’s young.”
Dalton extended his hands, making baby sounds, wanting Kai to hold him. Margaret remarked, “This child rarely lets anyone pick him up. Except for me, he usually doesn’t let anyone get close.”
Kai reached out and held Dalton. “Let’s talk upstairs.”
In the room, Kai took the photo from Dalton’s hands, and all he saw was Madelyn. He asked, “Miss your mom?”
Dalton nodded with drool dripping. “Ee.
Kai reassuringly said, “Your mom is far away right now and won’t be back for a while. You have to wait for your dad to return, and your mom will tag along, too. You’re becoming more and more like that rascal Zach now that you’re growing up. If it weren’t for knowing that he adopted you, I might have thought you were his illegitimate child born from some affair outside.”
Margaret clapped her hands. “Isn’t it? Dalton will be going to kindergarten in a year or two, and Mr. Jardin and Ms. Jent left without a definite plan. We don’t know when they’ll be back. Dr. Stewart, what’s going on?”
Kai said, “It’s not a big deal. Maddie didn’t want to stay here, so I sent her away. Zach got a minor injury, but he’s probably waking up soon. I just received a message that someone intends harm toward you all. Pack your things, and I’ll secretly take you away later.”
Margaret immediately refused. “N-No. Mr. Jardin told me long ago not to leave here no matter what the reason is.” As she spoke, she cautiously held the child over.
Kai squinted his eyes and asked, “When did he tell you, and what else did he say?
Margaret was at a loss of words.
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning Chapter 1280 by Max Charming
Margaret shook her head. “I can’t talk about this; I can’t tell you. Besides, if anything goes wrong, how do I justify it to Mr. Jardin?”
Kai was both angry and amused. “You do trust him a lot…”
Margaret replied, “Of course. Mr. Jardin said that when he comes back, he’ll give me a bonus. With that, I can spoil my grandson and buy lots of nice things for him.”
Kai thought, ‘It’s indeed rare to see someone being so loyal to Zach. There are all sorts of people with ill intentions around him. Having such a dedicated helper is indeed worth taking such a risk.’
“I won’t force you if you don’t want to tell me. Zach trusts you very much, and so will I.” Kai did not expect he would give in to a maid.
He took out his phone and showed Margaret a message. “Look at it properly. We’re on the same side. It won’t do me any good to harm you all.”
Margaret rolled her eyes. “What does it say? I can’t read.”
Her response left Kai speechless. “Fine.
Margaret was worried Kai had some bad intentions.
The heating was on in Southern Haven Villas. Kai felt hot, so he took off his jacket. Margaret asked, “Why do you want to stay here overnight? We don’t allow outsiders here.”
The sky had already darkened.
“Being cautious is good. But if you’re overly suspicious to the point of not even trusting me, no one will be able to help you if something really happens.”
Margaret squinted and thought, ‘Mr. Jardin once said that unless it was Mr. Turner, no one should leave here with anyone.
‘I can trust the man in front of me to a certain extent, but not too much. But maybe I should just not trust him.’
Margaret’s job here was just to take care of Dalton. There were maids in this villa who were responsible for cooking. Meals would be prepared in time.
The dinner was already being prepared.
So far, Kai had not seen anything wrong in Southern Haven Villas. However, he believed he must remain vigilant. He did not trust anyone here except for Margaret. Although no one could enter the villa now, and the people inside could not leave, he still had to be cautious.
Dalton sat quietly in the child’s seat as he ate. Kai could not help but tease him, saying, “Your parents don’t want you anymore, yet you can still eat so happily. You’re quite light-hearted!”
The next second, Dalton suddenly cried, which lasted for half an hour.
His cries echoed throughout the entire villa. No matter how Margaret tried to soothe him, she could not calm him down.
Kai found it noisy and went to the room on the second floor. However, he accidentally entered the master bedroom where Hayson had stayed in. The study next door was connected to it. He opened the curtains for the lights outside to shine into the room. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and dialed a phone number.
After the phone rang for a long time, it was finally connected. The person on the other end sounded lazy. Kai asked, ” Just woke up?”
Madelyn replied, “Yeah. How’s Dal?”
Kai walked to the door without responding to let Madelyn hear the crying sound. She could hear it all too clearly and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Kai replied, “He’s very smart. I told him his parents didn’t want him, yet he could still eat happily. And he started crying right after that. It’s lasted for half an hour now. Do you want to soothe him?”
A maid rushed over to Kai and said, ” It’s not good. Dr. Stewart, you need to come with me now. The child has been crying non-stop, and he just threw up the milk he drank.”
Kai did not hang up the phone. He walked to the room on the third floor, where everyone was comforting the delicate Dalton.
He said, “All right. All of you leave except for one person to take care of him.”
Once everyone left except for Margaret, Kai put the phone next to Dalton’s ear. He said, “Talk to him. Maybe he’ll stop crying when he hears your voice.”
He turned to look at Dalton, “Little rascal, your mom is on the phone…”
