The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 511

In the evening, Kennedy booked a seafood barbecue restaurant near the school. There were many late-night stalls here. It happened to be the season for beer and crayfish now.

Lem suggested, “How about we sit by the entrance?” Mya agreed, “Sure, I’m fine with that.” Madelyn nodded, “It’s okay for me too.

Madelyn remembered the first time she ate at the street food vendor during last year’s holiday. It was Forrest who took her there. After the meal, she had diarrhea that night. In order to avoid spoiling their mood, Madelyn decided to eat as little as possible.

It was just right for the four of them to sit at the table. Kennedy and Lem were clearly regulars here. They went to the food area, and each grabbed an iron tray. All four of them picked various items. Madelyn did not take much since she could not eat a lot.

They also ordered eight pounds of crayfish. When they returned to their seats, Lem brought over a case of beer. ” Girls shouldn’t drink. So just leave it to Kennedy and me.”

Madelyn looked around and noticed the lively vibe with numerous tables in the spacious area. “Do you come here often?”

Lem answered, “Occasionally. We don’t come here very often. Kennedy is pretty introverted. He either practices the piano or works part-time. Besides school, we usually can’t find him.”

Kennedy returned with two cups of bubble tea, one for Mya and one for Madelyn. “I bought them randomly. Give it a try.”

Madelyn said, “Thank you. Is this bubble tea? I’ve never had it before.”

Mya asked curiously, “You’ve never had it? Madelyn, how is that possible? You can find this bubble tea everywhere. Try it, it’s delicious! I drink several cups a day. Here, let me open it for you.” She inserted a straw into the bubble teacup and handed it to Madelyn.

Madelyn explained, “Actually, I rarely go out. My father never allowed me to eat street food. It’s my second time eating it.”

Lem exclaimed, “Wow! Your life sounds incredibly dull. Don’t worry. We’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future. It depends on whether your fiance allows you to go out. Am I right, Ken?”

Lem nudged Kennedy with his elbow. Then, Kennedy reacted, “Yes.”

Mya sipped her bubble tea contentedly, enjoying every moment. “Let’s consider today an ‘early celebration of Madelyn’s success in getting into her dream university. Cheers!”

Mya raised her bubble tea. “Madelyn, I’ll use this bubble tea as a toast to congratulate you for passing your entrance exam. In the future, you’ll be the greatest artist, and I want to become the owner of hundreds of bubble tea shops. I want everyone to taste the bubble tea I make.”

Madelyn raised her bubble tea and clinked it against Mya’s. “I wish you all the best and success in achieving your goals.”

Kennedy raised his beer and joined, Let’s work hard together.” Lem added, “There’s a bright future ahead of us. Let’s meet at Ventropolis University.”

They finished all the barbecue they had ordered, and Madelyn felt like she never wanted to eat it again. Kennedy paid the bill. Seeing it was only 7:30 p.m., they decided to stroll around the area.

Madelyn suddenly remembered something and asked, “Kennedy, what’s your relationship with Timothy? Are you relatives?” Kennedy glanced at her and replied, ” How did you know?”

Madelyn said, “Just a guess.” Kennedy nodded. “His father and my father are cousins. When our family moved, my father chose to stay instead of moving to Ventropolis.”

Madelyn asked, “Why do you both act so indifferent when you meet?” Suddenly, Lem spoke up, “You probably don’t know this, but the three of us are currently living together. We see each other at home every day. So, there’s no need for any greetings even if we bump into each other at school.

“Besides, Kennedy is the kind of person who doesn’t say more than a few words to anyone. His aunt asked him to tutor Timothy. It was a disaster for Ken. After almost half a month of tutoring,

Timothy still struggled to catch up Forrest and remained in Class Six. with “Speaking of Forrest, has he really left?

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 512

The three of them all turned their eyes unanimously to Madelyn. She answered, “He left.” Mya asked, “When will he come back?”

Mya grumbled in her heart, ‘He took my lollipop during the last basketball game, promising to return it. But he still hadn’t.’

“I’m not sure. Maybe Forrest will come back when his mom recovers from her illness.” Lem shrugged. “Once he left, Ken had it tough. Admirers filled his desk with love letters. To avoid them, he rarely goes to class now.”

They strolled for half an hour. Madelyn’s phone in her pocket rang when the time just passed eight o’clock. The mood of their conversation suddenly became quiet.

Seeing the caller ID, Madelyn answered the phone. “My gathering is over. Just come to the school gate to pick me up.”

“Yes, I’ll wait for you. Be careful on the way.” After a few short sentences, Madelyn hung up.

“I should get going,” she said. Lem said, “We’ll accompany you to the school. After you leave, we’ll send Mya back.”

Mya quickly waved her hand. “It’s okay, I can take a taxi by myself. It’s late now. I don’t want to bother you guys.” Lem showed concern. “It’s not safe for a girl to go alone. I happen to have a car. So we can go back together.”

Madelyn advised her, “Just take Kennedy’s car. Otherwise, I’ll be worried.”

Mya nodded, “Okay.” Kennedy’s car happened to be parked right at the school gate. As they approached, there were few people at the school entrance. Suddenly, a panicked cry for help echoed not far away.

“Help! Help me!”

Duncan Knox, dressed in rags, resembling a beggar, emerged from a thicket. His body was covered in blood, and he dragged a broken leg that seemed freshly fractured. “Help me. Someone’s trying to kill me!”

Mya was so scared that she hid behind Madelyn, “Y-You… Why are you coming to us instead of calling the cops?”

Madelyn squinted at Duncan and felt that he looked somewhat familiar. She vaguely recalled having seen him somewhere before. Duncan panicked and kept glancing in the direction behind him. He had a crippled leg and was very weak.

A few black cars pulled up in front of them within a few minutes. Several people got out, each holding a controlled weapon, giving off an unmistakable aura of organized crime. One of them had his face covered with a black cloth and approached them.

When he got closer, they could see the scar over his eye. Suddenly, a few familiar scenes flashed through Madelyn’s mind. ‘I remember now. He’s the person Zach had been looking for.’

In her previous life, she was sound asleep in the master bedroom upstairs on a rainy night. Suddenly, a scream around midnight awakened her. So she walked down the stairs and quietly stood at the staircase landing on the first floor.

She saw Zach in a sinister aura, crushing someone under his foot. Then, he held a needle, sewing the person’s mouth shut, with blood dripping from the thread. It seemed the person had seen her then and continuously pleaded for her help.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 513

Zach had done such gruesome acts in the villa repeatedly. He never hesitated to torture a living person to death before Madelyn.

At first, she would be frightened and might even cry out of fear. Over time, Madelyn gradually became numb to it. Zach was originally such a ruthless person. He had blood on his hands from his involvement in numerous violent crimes. If he became the ruler of Ventropolis, it would be at the expense of others.

It had been so long ago that Madelyn had forgotten many things. However, this man with the face cover left a deep impression on her. He was one of Zach’s subordinates, Fred.

‘Didn’t Zach find Duncan three years later? Why is it happening now? Could it be that everything that was supposed to happen has already been accelerated? Madelyn was worried and anxious but could not pinpoint the source of these emotions.

‘Are the events from my previous life going to happen no matter what? Even if the original fate has changed, it still cannot be escaped in the end. Those destined to die will still meet their fate! What about me? Will I also repeat the fate of my past life and won’t live a long and fulfilling life?’

Duncan kept backing away and gripping a utility knife tightly with his hands. He was trembling with fear. ” Don’t come any closer. Don’t. I haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve got the wrong person.”

Fred looked at the portrait in his hand. “I came for you today.”

Mya was on the verge of tears. “Let’s go quickly! I’m so scared.” Madelyn lost herself in thought. Suddenly, she heard an urgent voice,” Madelyn, watch out!”

Madelyn snapped back to reality with a sudden push, and Kennedy supported her. She looked over and saw that Duncan had already held Mya at knifepoint. Duncan said, “Don’t come any closer, I- I tell you. I’ll kill her if you dare to approach.”

Madelyn cried out, “Mya!”

Mya appeared to be on the verge of tears, struggling to hold them back. She whimpered, “Madelyn, I’m fine. I’m not afraid at all.”

“Shut up!” Duncan tightened his grip on Mya’s neck. He looked at Fred. “It’s been eight years, but you still haven’t let go of me! It’s because of all of you. That’s why my family broke apart, and my daughter died. I’ll take her with me even if I can’t escape today.”

Madelyn suddenly stepped forward. ” No!”

“Don’t go!” Lem tried to stop her but failed. Fred also looked at Madelyn. Duncan seemed to fear Fred’s presence. His whole face looked menacing, and his hands were trembling. Mya was crying loudly, and blood was already trickling from her neck.

“Don’t hurt her.” Madelyn was also terrified. If something happened to Mya today, she would never forgive herself. Mya was the only true friend Madelyn had made during all these years. She was kind and innocent, without any ulterior motives, like an untouched blank canvas. Her life should not come to an end today.

“I-I will trade myself for her. Please don’t hurt her.” Madelyn approached step by step. Someone in a nearby car fixed a deep, piercing gaze on that delicate and fragile figure. The eyes grew even colder with each passing moment.

 

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 514

“Fred, get her back to safety.”

Fred heard the man say in the earpiece. However, he chose to ignore the command. Madelyn said, “I’m more valuable than her. I’m Hayson Jent’s daughter. Leave Mya alone.”

Mya looked pitiful. She had tears streaming down her face. “Madelyn, I’m… I’m not scared. Don’t come closer.

“It’s you! You’re all from the same side, Duncan looked at Madelyn with a hateful gaze. Suddenly, he laughed sinisterly. “I had a hard time finding you. Come over here. Don’t try anything, or else… You know the consequences.”

Mya shouted, “No… Madelyn, no!”

Madelyn consoled her, “It’s fine. I won’t let anything happen to you, Mya. Zach shouted, “Fred!”

Just as everyone had their attention on Madelyn, Fred said calmly, “If she dies, you won’t have any weak points left. I won’t let anyone become your weak point.” “You know the consequences of defying me!” said Zach.

Duncan was one of the men who had sexually assaulted Jadie eight years ago. Back then, Zach did all that he could to track Duncan down. However, Duncan still ended up getting away. Now that he had finally shown up, he would not be able to escape even though he had completely changed his looks.

Duncan managed to pull what he did today purely out of luck. “Alright. Come here. You better not try anything,” said Duncan.

Kennedy-who was behind Madelyn- gave Lem a look. Lem nervously swallowed. Madelyn walked over, and Duncan released Mya. Just as Mya and Madelyn exchanged places, Fred-who was masked- suddenly spoke.

“We’ll spare you for the sake of the young lady. You better run as far as you can because if we get you, you won’t be this lucky again,” he said as he turned around to leave.

The two left promptly. Duncan released Madelyn. Suddenly, he lifted his knife and charged at her.

“Die!”

BANG!

A gunshot ran out. Madelyn shut her eyes in fear. Before she could see what had happened, someone fell to the ground. Then, she was pulled into someone’s arms. The person’s embrace was familiar and soothing.

“Sorry… I’m late,” he said. Madelyn felt relief washed over her once tense body, “That… That was terrifying!” Ethan hugged her tightly. “You’re alright. You’re alright now…”

If it were not for the bodyguard Ethan had secretly put by Madelyn’s side, he would not have rushed over this quickly. He did not dare to imagine what would have happened if he had arrived a moment later.

“Leyton, clean this up.”

“Yes, sir.”

Ethan took off his blazer and draped it tightly over Madelyn. Then, he led her away.

“Mya… She’s…” Madelyn said.

Ethan replied, “Leyton’s here. She’ll be fine.” Madelyn turned to look at Mya. She had already fainted and was being supported by Kennedy.

Duncan’s death was gruesome. His brain matter was splattered all over the floor, leading to Mya fainting at sight.

The cops arrived at the scene, and Leyton stayed behind to give his statement as a witness. Meanwhile, the bodyguards took the unconscious Mya to the hospital.

The cops sealed the area with barricade tape to prevent others from entering. Fortunately, there were not many people in school at the time.

By the time the students from Ventropolis High School had gotten off school and walked out, the crime scene had already been cleaned up. Madelyn was terrified.

‘If Mya had not pushed me away, he wouldn’t have spared me nor given us the chance to get a breather,’ she thought.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 515

In a hidden basement in Hallsmouth, someone forcefully kicked Fred to the ground. Fred did not fight back. Instead, he resisted the excruciating pain in his chest and attempted to stand up with one knee on the ground.

However, the man kicked him again before he could even do so. This time, Fred did not stand back up. He lay in the corner and grunted in pain as blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. Meanwhile, the other men surrounding them hung their heads low and did not dare to step forward.

Nobody knew what had happened. Zach had not returned in seven to eight years, yet he threw a fit the moment he came back.

Nobody dared to provoke him. Zach stared down at the man beside his feet. “There won’t be a next time,” he said dangerously. Just then, a frail-looking man ran up to Zach.

“Duncan is dead.”

Zach frowned in displeasure, “Who killed him?” The man bowed and replied, “Judging from their car, it was someone from the Arnold family. Duncan almost got the young lady, and that man shot him in the head. Oh boy, his brain matter was all over the place.”

Zach and his men were not exactly blatant when carrying out their operations and were much more discreet than they were in the past.

With the current strict rules and regulations, only people from the Arnold family dared to gun someone down when the sun hadn’t set yet.

“What if the Arnold family gets involved? If Mr. Arnold learns about the young lady almost getting hurt, the few of us… We surely won’t get away.” Zach kept a stony expression. “I’ll handle the matter. How about the other two?” he asked.

The frail-looking man answered fearfully, “One fell off the cliff during our car chase with him. We still haven’t found his body for the time being, but it’s likely blown into pieces. And the other one… It’s said he fled to Northern Myanmar, where the Golden Triangle is. It’s a lawless place with many different factions, so it’s hard for us to do anything.”

“Send someone to keep an eye on him.”

“Yes.” Zach lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought. ‘Why was Duncan near the school?’ he wondered. There was a storm of emotions in his eyes.

Ethan brought Madelyn back to the Arnold residence. Madelyn recalled the incident on their way home and felt terrified as it finally sank in. When they got home, the servants brought over a glass of water.

The two sat on the couch. Madelyn leaned into Ethan’s arms with a pale face. Then, Ethan asked the servants to leave. “It’s alright now. In the future… I won’t let you be alone. I can’t imagine losing you.”

Madelyn listened to his soothing voice and gradually calmed down.

“Where’s Mya? How’s she?”

“Leyton said she’s alright. She’s just a little frightened. She’ll be fine after a good night’s rest. You can chat with me for a bit if you’re still feeling scared. “How was your test today? Did you do well?”

Madelyn nodded, “It was decent.” “Well, I’ve spoken to Prof. Monet. You’re doing pretty well among this batch of students, so there’s a high chance of you getting accepted.”

“If that happens, I’d be ecstatic. But if… If I got admitted because of you, I’d still be ridiculed even if I got in.”

“Do you not think you have what it takes? Or are you certain that I’d do something like that?”

Madelyn stared at the vase on the coffee table.

“You’re too good to me. You’re always helping me achieve whatever I want. But… Can you not intervene this time? I want to get in with my own capabilities. I can still go to Ventropolis University even if I don’t get in. Life is filled with countless possibilities; I’ll take another route if this one doesn’t work out. No matter what happens, my goal remains the same.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 516

Ethan smiled and nodded, “Mhm. I’ll always support you no matter what… Mrs. Arnold to-be!”

The two chatted for a while. They talked about what they would eat the next day, the engagement trip they would have after Madelyn’s graduation and many other things.

By the time Ethan lowered his head to look at her, she had already fallen asleep. However, Madelyn seemed like she was not having a restful sleep. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her long dark hair covered her face.

Ethan moved her hair out of her face and kissed her on the lips. Then, he gently carried her upstairs to the master bedroom. For the past few days, the two had practically been staying together and sleeping on the same bed. They did nothing more than hugging and cuddling, but Ethan already felt content just doing so.

‘She’s still young. I’ve already waited this long, so I can wait a little longer,’ he thought. In the middle of the night, Madelyn woke up with her clothes drenched in sweat. Ethan’s arm was tightly wrapped around her waist, and her back was pressed against his chest.

Madelyn did not want to wake him up, so she carefully slipped out of bed and returned to her room. After she took a cold shower and changed out of her clothes, she felt much better. She wore a long tee-shirt that revealed her long legs.

Suddenly, her phone that was charging on the bedside table rang. Madelyn was curious as to who would call her at such an hour, thinking it might be Mya. She dried her hair with one hand while checking her phone with the other.

When she saw the caller ID, she dropped her phone in shock.

Madelyn had no intention of answering the phone. Just as she was about to decline the call, she saw a bright light peeking through the gap of her curtains. She stared at the light pouring in from the gaps of her curtains as her heart began racing wildly in terror.

Madelyn could not help but slow down her pace as she walked over to the windows. She drew open the curtains and saw a familiar car parked at the entrance.

‘Is he crazy?! This is the Arnold residence, How’d he dare to come here? she thought. The phone stopped ringing, and there promptly was a text notification.

Zach: [Come down.]

Madelyn did not respond and stared fixedly at her phone as the terror she felt toward him began to creep back in.

Two minutes later, she received another text message. Zach: [Don’t make me wait. You have three more minutes.]

Madelyn typed a reply with her trembling fingers.

[I’m not going down.]

She deleted and typed those few words over and over again, but did not send the message. Madelyn had her heart in her throat, as if she could hear her thumping heart in the quiet room.

The passing minute felt like an eternity to Madelyn. Eventually, she mustered up the courage to hesitantly type up a response and finally sent him a reply.

[Now isn’t a good time. He’s in my room. You should go back. There’s nothing to talk about between the two of us. Please don’t come here again.]

Madelyn sent the text message and immediately blocked the number before he could respond. Meanwhile, Zach was in his car downstairs with the headlights still on. He stared dangerously at the window upstairs until the lights inside went out.

Zach curled his lips into an indecipherable smile.

 

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 517

Madelyn switched off the lights, unsure whether Zach had left. She was worried that he would come in, so she changed into pajama pants and went to the master bedroom next to hers.

As soon as she lay down, the man beside her snuggled up closer and hugged her from behind. He said lazily into her ear, “Where’d you go?”

“I was worried I’d wake you up, so I went back to my room to shower. Go back to sleep,” she replied a little absentmindedly.

“Mhm.” Ethan quickly fell back asleep while inhaling her scent. Madelyn reached out to switch off the bedside lamp, and the entire room went dark. She shut her eves and forced herself to stop overthinking.

‘He wouldn’t dare to go against the Arnold family, given his current power. In the future, I’ll be Mrs. Arnold. The two of us won’t have anything to do with each other. While I’m still afraid of Zach and his threats and tactics, I shouldn’t let what happened in the past continue. I can’t let him threaten me time and again,’ she thought.

Before Madelyn even realized it, she quickly fell asleep. The following morning, Madelyn was awoken by the sunlight filtering in. She stretched and peeked out of her covers. Then, she immediately saw Ethan smiling at her.

“Good morning,”

“Good morning,” Madelyn replied.

“It’s not morning anymore. Shall we get out of bed?”

“What time is it?”

“It’s noon.” Madelyn had not expected to have overslept so long. “What time did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me up too?”

“Mrs. Arnold-to-be can afford to be lazy and sleep in a little.” He continued, “I’ll get out of bed first and get your toothpaste ready. Don’t forget to change out of your pajamas.”

“Okay,” replied Madelyn. Ethan changed out of his pajamas and handed Madelyn her toothbrush with toothpaste on it. He looked at her reflection in the mirror and noticed her dark eye circles, “Do you want to see a psychiatrist? You kept on talking in your sleep last night.”

Madelyn paused from brushing her teeth, “What… What did I say?” Ethan hugged her on the waist from behind. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her on the neck.

“I forgot. I didn’t really hear what you said.”

“Is that so? I don’t even remember what I dreamed of last night,” Madelyn said as she spat out the toothpaste. She quickly gargled and took the towel Ethan handed her. She wiped her mouth and continued, “By the way, is Mya alright? Let’s visit her at the hospital later.”

‘If Mya hadn’t pushed me away, I would’ve been the one in the hospital right now,’ she thought. “Alright. I’ll go with you,” said Ethan.

After the incident yesterday, Ethan thought it was too dangerous to let Madelyn go around alone. Ethan took a day off and personally drove Madelyn to the hospital.

Madelyn had an uneasy look in her eyes when they arrived. ‘Of all the hospitals…’ she thought. Leyton walked out of the hospital entrance, “Mr. Arnold. Ms. Jent.”

Madelyn thought in astonishment, Leyton’s still here at the hospital? Did he spend the entire night here?’ They took the elevator that led to the inpatient department as Leyton pressed on a floor button.

“What’s the situation?”

“It’s almost settled. Turns out that homeless man last night was a wanted murderer. He’s killed many students over the past six years. He’s been lurking at the entrances of various schools and targeting students who were alone.”

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.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 519

Madelyn thought, ‘Did Jadie attempt to commit suicide?’ Before Madelyn could greet Jadie, she was already rushed to the hospital. She had never seen her in such a disheveled and weakened state. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it.

Madelyn thought, ‘Zach has always treasured Jadie. How could he bear to let her get hurt?’ Ethan’s voice brought her back to her senses, “Do you want to go check on her?”

Madelyn shook her head, “No need. They can handle it.”

This was Jadie and Zach’s business, and Madelyn did not want to be involved. Whether Jadie had attempted suicide or not, it was no longer any of her business. This time, Jadie’s wound was deeper than the previous one.

The nurse, who was treating Jadie’s wound, frowned. The new cut was on top of the original wound. Jadie was skinny, so the new wound was deep enough that the bone showed. The previous sutures had even been sliced open by a sharp knife. There were threads embedded messily in the flesh.

The nurse sighed, “Life is priceless. Young lady, your boyfriend must be heartbroken that you injured yourself like this!” She had seen many suicide attempts in her time, but very few could harm themselves to this extent.

When Jadie heard the nurse mention” boyfriend”, she smiled faintly. She affectionately held the hand of the man beside her as she looked at him, “Yes, he’s always cared deeply for me. I was too impulsive this time.”

The current appearance of Jadie was completely different from when she cried hysterically in front of Zach this morning.

The nurse scolded Zach with a stern tone, “You should pay more attention to your girlfriend in the future. If she can’t be saved next time something like this happens again, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

Zach’s face darkened as he reluctantly responded with a grunt. Jadie defended Zach, “Don’t blame him. It’s all my fault. Zach, can you pour me a glass of water?”

Zach then obediently went to the drinking water area to get a glass of warm water for Jadie while Jadie and the nurse were talking about something. When Zach returned, the nurse had already left.

Zach placed the glass of water in front of Jadie. There was a straw inside. Jadie asked, “Zach, can you feed me?”

Zach then held the glass to her lips. Jadie smiled slightly, “Are you this caring to Madelyn too? But… She’ll be engaged to someone else soon. It’s a pity that you and Madelyn will no longer have the chance to be together. After the engagement, she’ll become his wife very soon. When that happens, what’ll you do?”

Zach responded, “That isn’t something you should be concerned about. I need to go back to the company now. I’ll have Leyton come over later.”

Jadie said, “If you dare to step out of this hospital, you’ll come back to a corpse.” Zach stopped in his tracks when he was at the door and decided to stay.

Jadie’s emotional needs were satisfied, but she did not find any contentment. She thought, ‘My beloved Zach is gradually slipping away from me. He’s fallen in love with someone else…’

Jadie was connected to an IV drip. Even when Zach’s phone rang, she clung to him and refused to let him answer the call. She was sitting in his arms and looking at the word “Hayson” on his phone screen as she asked, “Are you not going to answer it?”

She then played with the obsidian shirt button in front of his chest.

 

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 520

“Stop playing around,” Zach said as he grabbed her hand. He then answered the phone in front of her, “Father.”

Zach lightly pushed her away, along with her hand that was tightly holding onto his arm, before walking out to the balcony. Their conversation was not loud, but Jadie could faintly hear some of it. Right before he closed the door, Jadie heard Yvonne’s name.

Hayson said, “This is a rare opportunity for you, a chance for you to build your network in the business circle. There’s no harm in going to Avalon for management training. You don’t have to worry about your position. I’ve already arranged everything.”

Zach asked, “Is this your decision or the Young family’s?”

Hayson responded, “She’s the future heir of the Young family, and you’re my son. I’ll always prioritize your development over Madelyn’s. I hope

you won’t waste my efforts. This decision is final. After Madelyn gets engaged to the Arnold family, you’ll go to Avalon with Yvonne for training for six months before returning. I’ll hand your work matters over to Kevin temporarily. He’s your confidant and has been with you for so many years, so I trust him.”

Zach replied, “I understand. I’ll consider this.”

Hayson said, “You should also consider your own future and make preparations. Interact with Yvonne more. There’s no harm in receiving the cooperation of both the Arnold and Young families. If you want to establish yourself in the business world, you must do this. Stop focusing on irrelevant people. If you can’t handle it, I’ll help you clear the obstacles around you.”

Zach responded, “Okay.” A mysterious glint flashed past Zach’s eyes. After Hayson ended the call, Zach put his phone away.

He then walked back into the ward. Jadie looked hurt and sad as she stared at him, “So, you’re leaving me too? You got together with Yvonne after you couldn’t have Madelyn! Zach, you promised me that you wouldn’t fall for someone else.”

Zach did not know how much she had heard. There was not much expression on his face. He said, “We’ll talk about this in the future.”

“You’re going to marry Yvonne, right? For your position of authority!” Jadie’s tone began to show stress. She was agitated, causing blood to flow into the IV tube. Zach responded, “Jadie, I won’t leave you.”

Jadie said, “You’re lying to me! You’re still lying to me at this point! You said you didn’t like Madelyn, but you do. You went to find her last night, right?

Whenever we stayed at the Jent residence, I could hear you going upstairs. And you always spent the night there. Did you think I didn’t know? You thought you could hide this from everyone, but you couldn’t! Do you know how much I had to endure it every time you went to see her?

“I’m scared! Zach! I’m really scared! I’m afraid you’ll find me dirty. I’m afraid you’ll not want me anymore. I hate myself. Why do I have to remember being inhumanly humiliated and tortured by those three men?!

“In my most helpless moment, I kept calling your name. I wished so much that you’d appear, appear in front of me…”

Jadie could not hold back her tears any longer. She cried out loud. Zach hugged her and comforted her, “1 I’ve never thought about abandoning you. Jadie, I won’t leave you.”

Jadie responded, “Then promise me you won’t look for Madelyn anymore, and don’t leave me for Yvonne, okay?” Zach’s tone became heavier, “Okay.”

Kai happened to see this touching scene at the door. When he saw a nurse walking toward him, he put his finger in front of his lips signaling her to keep quiet.

Kai was lost in his thoughts, “This monster is better at comforting women than me. Will he really move on from Madelyn? He knows he’s related to Madelyn, and yet he has feelings for her. How is it possible for him to just let go of those feelings?

‘I’ve told him so many times, one must hide their weak points properly! Once one shows vulnerability, they can be easily manipulated, even when in a position of power. With these weaknesses, there’ll always be dangerous risks. Ethan is the best example.’
