The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 811

Madelyn passed out for a long time, but she could hear someone talking next to her. She knew it was Zach. Even with her eyes closed, she could hear him speaking. Zach repeatedly wiped her body with warm water, groomed her hair, and changed her into clean clothes.

Kai entered the room and saw Zach, who had gone mad, and said hesitantly, “I’ve already told you the surgical risk. The surgery can be done one week after she wakes up, so you’d better be prepared for it.”

“She’s always been fine. I’m not worried at all.”

Zach had not slept for three days after finding Madelyn. He wore the same outfit as before, with messy hair and bloodshot eyes. He had always been a clean freak, but after three days without a shower, a strange odor clung to his body.

Even so, he still took meticulous care of Madelyn.

“I know you can’t accept it, but that’s the truth. She’ll die without the surgery.

” Kai said.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier then?”

“She wanted me to hide it from you. Besides, what could you possibly have done about it? No one could force her to receive treatment anyway. I told you not to hurt Ethan because he still has a special place in Madelyn’s heart. She was only willing to take medications because she hoped that Ethan would wake up someday so she could talk to him. But the only person who could persuade her is dead now.

“She’s the only person left in the entire Jent family, and you’ve destroyed her only reason to live. How can she accept it?”

‘Ethan Arnold, Ethan Arnold! it’s still him in the end!’ Zach thought to himself. Then, he stood up, rushed forward, and grabbed Kai’s collar before taking him outside, “I want him dead, so what? If she dies, I’m going to burn the whole hospital down.”

There were still bruises on Kai’s face as they had fought not long ago. Kai looked at him emotionlessly, “What about you? What’s the point of you living if she’s dead? Don’t forget, you’re the one who drugged her, and everything was your idea. Are you regretting it now?

“It has been six years, and you had countless chances to make things right. Have you done anything for it?

“Zach Jardin, if she dies, you’re the person who caused it! You don’t deserve to continue living either if she’s dead. You didn’t hesitate to hurt her back then. Who are you putting a show on for now?

“Ethan was willing to risk his life to love her. What about you? Do you love her? The truth is you only want her because of how possessive you are; you don’t even love her. With just that, you can never compare to Ethan.

“Zach, we’re the same. We’ll never understand what it’s like to love someone.” Two nurses happened to pass by and glanced at the staircase from downstairs, “Why are they fighting again?”

“Who knows? I wouldn’t want to go up there now.”

The nurses who went upstairs to work all came running down, crying, with no exception. Zach had really gone crazy.

Love? What is love?

If love meant that he could not bear to leave Madelyn or was reluctant to let her go, then Zach had already fallen in love with her in the four years that Madelyn secretly ran away.

It was undeniable that he was possessive, but Zach just could not bear to see her leave.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 812

Madelyn could only belong to him, and only him. A week had passed, and Zach had been lying next to her. He did not dare to make any big movements as he held her close.

Zach had never expected that Madelyn would leave him. He had neither power nor money back then, so he could not provide her with the best. Now that he finally had everything, he could easily give her whatever she wanted..

In the dark room, Zach buried his face in Madelyn’s neck with his eyes closed, “Should I have been more heartless since the beginning? If you had never met him, you’d be mine forever.”

At midnight, Kai returned to his office, drained. He noticed light seeping through the door crack, and he immediately turned cautious.

He pushed the door open and saw Lana lying on the sofa, appearing to be asleep. Then, his alertness went away.

Lana was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt an itch on her face. She opened her eyes and was met with a pair of affectionate, almond-shaped eyes. Kai was scrutinizing her with his dark gaze. When their eyes met, Kai brushed her hair aside and said in a gentle voice, “You can go to the lounge to sleep next time.”

Lana instantly woke up and was shocked when she saw the bruise on Kai’s face. She sat up straight and avoided his gaze. Then, she hurriedly fixed her hair and said, “Took you long enough. Can we proceed with the surgery now? Don’t forget what you promised me.”

“I don’t have the time now,” Kai said. Lana glowered at him and threw the pillow she had been holding at him, How could you go back on your word? Y -You said that you’d save him if I slept with you!”

Kai chuckled, “How could you ever believe anything a pervert like me say?”

Lana’s face turned extremely pale. Kai’s words felt like a hard slap across her face. She felt so humiliated that her fingers trembled.

Lana was at a loss for words. Kai’s heart softened when he saw tears welling up in Lana’s eyes, “I was just joking with you. Did you take it seriously?

“Andrew will be fine. I’ll make arrangements for the surgery once I’m free.”

Lana wiped away her tears silently, ” Okay. Tell me, how much longer do I have to wait?”

“Hand me the documents on the desk,” Kai said. He was avoiding Lana’s question again. She clenched her fists tightly and reluctantly walked to his desk. There were a few documents on the desk, and she was unsure which one he was referring to.

So, she took all of them. When she turned around, she saw Kai lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. He was already sleeping.

Lana approached him, intending to wake him up. However, she lost her balance, and the documents she was holding fell to the floor, creating a loud noise in the silent office.

Lana quickly knelt down to pick them up, one by one. Then, she suddenly saw the name of a female cancer patient, Madelyn Jent.

“Can you ever get anything done?”

Kai’s displeased voice came from above. In the next second, he grabbed Lana and pulled her up. Then, he carefully picked up the documents, worrying that they might be damaged.

“I didn’t mean it.”

These documents were the information and treatment plans Kai had spent almost a month researching. He just could not afford to let anything go wrong.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 813

“I… I’m sorry. Today wasn’t the right time for me to come. About Andrew’s situation, I’ll come back another time if it’s inconvenient for you today.”

Lana waited for him in the office all day. If she stayed any longer, she would only be humiliating herself. She did not want to embarrass herself too much.

Lana picked up her bag from the sofa and was about to leave when Kai suddenly grabbed her wrist. Then, he lifted her off the ground.

“Put me down!” Lana said as she struggled. Kai ignored her struggles and went directly into the lounge, throwing her onto the bed and pressing down on her. He grabbed her hands and held them above her head, “Can’t I criticize you? When I told you to piss off, why didn’t I see you leave?”

With one hand, Kai tore her underwear apart. He then unzipped his pants before spreading her legs.

“No… please don’t!”

Kai was too frustrated to listen to any of her words and just thrust in aggressively.

In less than half an hour, Kai panted as he got off Lana, who was still sobbing softly. He pulled out a few tissues to clean up, “Sleep here tonight, and I’ll take you back tomorrow.”

The swelling sensation in her nether regions had not disappeared yet. She put on her clothes, sat up, and said, ” It’s okay, I drove here today.”

Lana’s legs felt weak, and she could barely stand.

“Do you think Andrew doesn’t know about us?”

Lana stood still, completely stunned. She turned to look at him, “W-Was it you who told him?”

Kai sneered, “I’m not that lifeless. I just guessed it.” Kai wanted to say something else, but he changed his mind.

“If you want to go back looking like a wreck, I won’t stop you.”

Lana looked down, feeling uncomfortable with the stickiness between her legs. Her torn underwear was next to her heels, and she quickly picked it up and threw it in the trash.

He did not put on a condom, so everything went inside. “I need to use the bathroom to clean myself up,” she said.

Lana saw herself in the mirror and finally understood the meaning behind Kai’s words. No wonder he asked her to stay. She could not be seen like this.

There were several marks that he left on her neck. Her top even had a huge tear over her shoulder. He was just ruthless. Lana had just taken off her top when the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Kai was emotionless when he watched her panicking, trying to cover her chest. He then handed her a clean bathrobe and her phone, saying, “You had a call; I rejected it for you. You can return the call yourself.”

Lana was in a light blue laced bra when she hugged her chest with her fair arms. She looked scared and did not dare to gaze at him. She turned around, and her long hair covered her back, though her slim waist was revealed. Little did she know that this appearance was the most enticing to Kai.

“Just leave them there.”

Kai put her stuff down and left. Lana watched him leave, feeling lost and somewhat lucid. She had no idea why she was feeling these complex and conflicting emotions.

Could it be that she had developed feelings for the man who had assaulted her?

‘Impossible,’ Lana thought. She had received a high education. Plus, her parents were both intellectuals, so she had always held on to traditional values.

If it were not for Andrew, she would not have repeatedly done that with him. She could not possibly have any feelings for him.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 814

She was already married! She would never be a fickle woman. Lana looked at the three unanswered calls from Andrew, and her guilt made her uneasy. The thought of her betraying Andrew made her too afraid to return his call.

She could only message him: [I’m at the studio. Working late today. Will be back tomorrow.]

He quickly replied: [Okay.]

Seeing that he did not ask further, Lana suddenly lost balance and squatted on the ground. She was feeling conflicted and hesitant. Even now, she was too afraid to face the person who shared a bed with her. She did not know if her actions were right or wrong.

She had no choice.

During the three years she took Andrew abroad, they visited all the hospitals, but his condition remained untreatable. If this persisted, his organs would gradually fail, and he would die.

Now, Andrew could only rely on medication to alleviate his pain. He was barely clinging to life. Besides him, Lana did not know who else she could turn to.

Zach had booked the entire floor where Madelyn lived. Two days later, Madelyn woke up, sat on the bed, and said to all the oncologists, “I’m not doing the surgery.

“Ms. Jent, please rest assured that we will personally perform the operation this time. We only need your cooperation. Plus, the success rate is very high. If we don’t do it now, it might be too late. Please think about it carefully. After all, you’re still so young.

Madelyn’s pale face showed no emotions, and her eyes were lifeless, “I don’t want to live. Is that okay?

“I don’t want to continue with the surgery, and none of you can force me.”

“Ms. Jent… Well…”

“That’s enough! All of you, get out.” Zach kicked open the door.

Everyone was startled. After they left, Zach did not let anyone else in anymore. He walked up to Madelyn and gazed deeply at her, ” What do you need to agree to the surgery?”

Madelyn met his cold gaze, “I want Ethan, Yvonne, and Mrs. Arnold Sr. to live. I want three of these innocent lives to be saved. Can you do it?

“I don’t understand you, Zach! You have everything, so why can’t you just let him live? Yvonne was your wife, and Mrs. Arnold Sr…. What did they even do to offend you?”

Tears streamed down Madelyn’s face, but the pain in her eyes was nothing compared to the ache in her heart. She put her hand over her chest and clenched her collar, the pain in her eyes replaced with resentment, “Why can’t you be the one that died?! You should be the one that’s dead!”

Every word she spoke was through her gritted teeth.

“Don’t you want every member of the Jent family gone? Hayson is dead, and I’m the only one left. Your wish will come true once I’m dead.”

Every word she said seemed to strike Zach right in his heart. Even if he admitted his wrongdoings, it was too late.

“I want you to live, Madelyn! I want you to live well!

“Besides him, I will agree to anything you want.”

Madelyn looked at him with tear-filled eyes and a bitter smile, “Zach, look at you now. You’re completely different from your past self. You should be as decisive and ruthless as you were in your previous life. Just abandon me and marry your beloved Cecelia.

“If you want me to live, then you have to die and be buried with Ethan! As long as you die, I’ll agree to the surgery!”

Zach stared at her with a hint of darkness as a strong surge of jealousy grew in his heart.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 815

“If you want to avenge them, you can come and kill me with your own hands once you get better. Or else, the next one will be the Young family,” Zach ruthlessly said. A hint of coldness flashed past his eyes as he looked sideways at the door, “Arrange her surgery as soon as possible. If she refuses, tie her and get her onto the operating table if you need to.”

He left the ward after saying that. Every word that Madelyn said was about seeking revenge for Ethan. If Zach stayed any longer, he was not sure what he might do.

Outside the door, Zach instructed the bodyguards, “Keep a close watch on her. No one is allowed to enter without my permission.”

“Yes, Mr. Jardin.”

In the office, Kai thought, ‘I want to make amends. And the only way to do so is to ensure Madelyn is treated and can live safely.”

Zach was standing in front of the floor- to-ceiling window, smoking one cigarette after another. Kai opened the vents to let the smoke dissipate and said, “I know you’re feeling uneasy now. Since the situation has already happened, we can only find a way to resolve it.

“Acting this way is so off-brand for you. Zach asked, “What’s the earliest possible time for the surgery?”

Kai closed the file in his hand, ” Tomorrow. She needs to fast tonight.”

Zach put out his cigarette and turned to look at Kai, “What are the chances of a successful surgery tomorrow?”

Kai remained silent for a long time before finally saying three words, “Ten percent chance.”

Zach thought, ‘Only ten percent?’

Kai pressed his lips together, stood up, and walked to Zach, “It’s been delayed for too long. The tumor has started to press on the cranial nerves. If there’s even a slight accident during the surgery, she could become a vegetable or even…” ‘Die!’ Kai thought.

He continued saying, “Every unexpected event is unknown. So, I can’t guarantee anything. All I can promise you is that this time… I’ll do everything in my power to save her.”

Zach squinted. His gaze was deep and gloomy, “Why’d she get cancer? Didn’t she already undergo uterine removal surgery?”

Kai answered, “Some causes are difficult to explain. I can’t provide an answer.”

A silence followed. They did have an answer. It was just that there were some things they could not face. Perhaps they were guilty and blamed themselves.

Ever since the day Zach decided to become a part of the Jent family, he had never considered turning back.

The past Zach would never feel such emotions. Once he developed emotions, he would become soft-hearted, which would be his fatal weakness.

Zach’s hands were stained with blood, and he had countless enemies. Any grasp on him would jeopardize all he had accomplished. So, he had to let go of these emotional burdens.

He would do whatever it took to achieve his goals. He had even calculated everything and ensured he would be at the pyramid’s pinnacle. However… he had never expected to have different feelings for Madelyn..

The eerie silence was broken an hour later by a nurse who came in. She said, “Dr. Stewart, it’s bad. Ms. Jent insisted on leaving and then got extremely agitated. She’s just fainted again.”

Kai watched Zach as he hurriedly left. He looked away and trailed Zach’s earlier directions. He asked, “Has she been examined? What’s the result?”

The nurse walked behind Kai, “Her emotions were too intense, which caused cerebral bleeding. Other doctors have already started preparing for surgery. We’re waiting for you to lead the operation now,”

Zach arrived at Madelyn’s ward, where the doctors were administering a sedative to her.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 816

The ward was a mess. There were shattered objects on the floor, which Madelyn caused. There was even a pool of blood on the floor, which the nurses were cleaning.

Madelyn was somewhat conscious. Her hospital gown was stained with blood, and she appeared extremely weak. Zach thought, ‘I’d only been away for a short while. How did she become like this?’

Zach felt a pain in his heart that he had never experienced.

Madelyn’s breathing was rapid. She struggled and managed to free her hands, “I said I don’t want the surgery. Let go of me!” The nurses were holding her hands down.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zach approaching from the door. She coldly said, “You get out. I don’t want to see you.”

Zach stood by the bedside. His emotions were unclear as he said, ” Listen to the doctor and have the surgery.”

Madelyn looked at him and sneered, ” Then, I’ll curse myself so I won’t make out from the operating table alive.”

She saw a hint of pain flash past Zach’s eyes. She thought, ‘Is he sad because I’m about to die?”

Madelyn found it ironic. She never believed Zach was a person with emotions. He responded, “Don’t say such things from now on. You’ll get better.”

Madelyn replied, “Are you saying this to comfort me or yourself? Nobody knows my body better than I do…

“Zach Jardin, if I die one day, I’ll curse you… Everyone who loves you will leave, one by one…

“And you’ll end up living a lonely life and die alone.” Madelyn did not manage to say this next sentence because the sedative took effect, and she was unconscious. When everyone heard what she said, no one said a word.

“Everything is ready,” said the nurse who had arrived, handing over the tools to cut off Madelyn’s hair to the head nurse beside her.

The head nurse nervously approached Zach and said, “Mr. Jardin, before the surgery, we need to shave Ms. Jent’s hair and draw blood through her skull. If we don’t shave it, we can’t perform the surgery.”

Now, Zach could only do what he wanted when Madelyn was asleep. He responded, “I’ll do it. You all can leave.”

The head nurse hesitated but eventually agreed, “Okay. But please keep it within fifteen minutes.

Zach had been staring unwaveringly at Madelyn’s face the whole time. After everyone left the ward, they closed the door to give them the private space.

“I’ll make sure you live well.” Zach picked up the scissors…

Whether it was Madelyn’s hair or her entire body, she was exquisitely attractive in every aspect. Her hair was still carrying the fragrance of shampoo. When Madelyn was unconscious, it was Zach who cleaned her.

He knew she liked cleanliness. However, when she was in a bad mood or when she had depressive episodes, she would make a mess of herself and let herself go…

Twelve minutes later, the floor was covered in Madelyn’s long hair, which she had maintained for many years. Now, all of it had been cut off. He carried her as he walked out of the ward. He felt she was almost weightless.

The nurses outside the ward had already got the gurney ready. Zach gently placed her down and asked, ” How long will the surgery take?”

“It may take at least two to three hours…” The head nurse did not dare to speak too definitively. Everyone knew Madelyn’s condition well. She could only say some words of comfort, “Mr. Jardin, don’t worry. Ms. Jent will be blessed with a positive outcome.”

Zach watched as Madelyn was wheeled into the operating room….

At that moment, Kevin stepped out of the elevator. He reported behind Zach, Mr. Jardin, Ms. Samford has been taken away.”

Zach asked, “By who?”

 

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 817

In Ventropolis Prison, inside a dimly lit prison cell with no light coming from outside, Cecilia woke up in ragged clothes. Her feet were shackled with iron chains, and silver handcuffs restrained her hands.

Fred Turner, who was wearing a black uniform, buttoned his collar button. The scar at the corner of his eye looked hideous under the dim light. He said, You’ve been following him for so long. I never expected you to be a virgin.

“The few of you take her for a wash. Don’t let her die.”

“Yes, Mr. Turner.”

“You bastard.” In anger, Cecilia suddenly got up. Before she could even get close to Fred, her leg was hit by a baton. Cecilia screamed painfully and lay on the ground in agony.

Fred, with his hat on, walked over to her and looked down at her, “No one has dared lay a hand on me on my turf. You’re the first.”

Cecilia responded, “I’m your boss’s woman. You’re just his dog. If Zach finds out about this, he won’t spare you.

Fred had slept with many women, and most of them were prostitutes. He had even slept with the high-and-mighty lady from the Young family. But Cecilia is the first virgin he had been with. He had been relatively gentle with her compared to the rough treatment he gave to other women in bed.

He said, “If you dare speak to me like that again, I’ll sew your mouth shut with my own hands.”

Cecilia remained silent.

He continued, “Since it was your first time, you’ll be mine from now on. There’s nothing but desolation within tens of miles from here. Don’t even think about escaping. If you behave well, I can let you go out and have some fun.”

After Fred left, other prison guards dragged Cecilia to a different place.

There was a large bath there surrounded by black tiles. The environment was much better than where she had been just now.

On the way here, Cecilia was molested by these men who had not been with any women for a long time. She stood in the bath to clean the dirty parts of her body. She was lost in her thoughts,” I didn’t expect to accidentally have relations with Fred.

‘That despicable man had been rough and never treated me gently. I had several bruises caused by him.’

The last time at Supreme World, after Zach was taken away, she had accidentally consumed a strong aphrodisiac. She was confused, and her sexual desires greatly impaired her ability to think clearly. She wanted to just find any man to serve as her antidote but had stumbled upon Fred.

After he forced himself on her in a safe passage, he imprisoned her in the pitch -black prison. That was where he had his way with her all day.

Cecilia had come close to death because of his act. She was not actually a virgin. Her first time had been given to a loan shark as a form of payment by her heartless father.

Later, to preserve her reputation, she secretly worked and saved money to undergo hymen repair surgery. Only she knew about this.

Fred was in his office, answering a phone call, “Your woman did taste quite good. Next time, send me more good ones to play with.”

“Don’t play her to death. She’s still useful to me.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on your people.”

After a brief conversation, the call ended. After he put down the phone, his longtime assistant asked, “Why do you still listen to his orders? It’s been so many years, and you’ve already paid your debt to him. With your current position, we don’t have to fear him.”

Fred responded, “Because we’ve faced death together. He not only saved my life, but we’re also the same kind of people.

“It’s been more than a decade. Even if we become enemies, he’s the only one I consider a worthy opponent.”

Fred felt they were more like perfect partners. They both had equally great ambitions. Zach was good at strategic planning and manipulation. He would never kill someone with his own hands. He was best at using others to carry out the deeds for him. He was extremely careful.

But Fred was different. He preferred to do it with his own hands. He even liked using a knife. When dealing with the people Zach wanted to deal with, Fred would not let them live. He would also never leave any traces.

If Zach wanted someone to be killed, Fred would be his best choice to perform the act. And Fred was more than willing to do that for his partner.

Fred’s assistant said, “But we can’t just keep cleaning up his mess for him every time. When the Burton family died in prison, our affairs almost got exposed.”

Fred was wiping his gun when he heard that, and a hint of cold light flashed past his emotionless, sharp eyes.

In the next moment, a loud sound could be heard. The person who was standing in front of him suddenly fell to the ground. Smoke was still coming out of the gun muzzle.

The guards outside seemed like they were used to this. They just calmly dragged the person out of the room.

An hour later, Cecilia, who was now clean and dressed in a fresh set of clothes, was brought to Fred. She wore a black spaghetti-strapped dress. The prison was filled with cold air. Cecilia was trembling due to the cold. Her wrists and ankles were still in shackles.

Fred was wearing boots and crossed his legs. The scar near his eye made him look like a ferocious demon. When he saw the sexy Cecilia approaching, he put his leg down and parted them, ” Come over here and kneel down…”

Upon seeing the gun that he put on the table, Cecilia went around the side and rushed over. Before she could pick it up, Fred grabbed her hair and pulled it forcefully.

It was so painful that Cecilia kneeled in front of him. The bruise on her face had not yet faded. Fred’s menacing voice could be heard, “Should I break your hands or your legs? Or should I sever the nerves in your hands and feet?”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 818

Fred continued to say, “I’m not as easy to deal with as he is…”

Cecilia’s dress was pulled down. Her nude body was revealed to Fred. He quickly stood up before lifting her and pushed her face down on the table. He then violently performed the s3xual act…

There were strong winds and heavy rain in Ventropolis again, cleaning everything. In Mistral Monastery, Kevin thought,’ I’d never imagined that one day Mr. Jardin would appear in such a place.

‘He’s sitting on the pew praying like a devout believer… And he’s doing all this for Madelyn Jent!’

To Kevin, Zach should be doing great things, like controlling the world’s economic lifelines. He should not be stooping to such lowly, status- dropping actions for a woman.

Madelyn had been here before, too. At that time, Ethan was barely alive. Kevin thought he would not live much longer, but he surprised Kevin. Later, he even woke up from his coma…

When Ethan was receiving treatment at the hospital, Madelyn came here to pray for him every day. Zach knew about it, but he did not stop her.

That was because Zach was an atheist, and he never believed in these things. But now, he had no other options…

Kevin, standing at the side, could not help but say, “Mr. Jardin, what you’re doing is completely pointless.”

Zach responded, “I’m just giving it a try. What if it works?”

Madelyn’s surgery was moved up a day. Kai told Zach that her condition had suddenly worsened. Even if the surgery went well, she might end up a permanent vegetable.

She was now lying in the operating room, with her life hanging in the balance…

When Zach signed the informed consent form, he felt like he had lost his way on the path he originally intended to continue. He did not know what to do. And he had no idea how he would cope if Madelyn died.

Zach, who was always rational, had completely lost his sense of proportion. Right now, composed. he merely appeared In everyone’s eyes, he was a powerful figure who could do anything. Everyone envied his power and status.

However, they forgot that he was also a human being with emotions.

From the very beginning, Zach had overestimated himself and underestimated Madelyn’s place in his heart. He had never believed in a ‘god’ created by the society. He had never prayed and became a devout believer for anyone.

He thought, ‘If there really is a god, I only wish that Madelyn can wake up, be safe, and be able to stand in front of me again.’

Zach said, “She’s only twenty-three years old, with a long future ahead…

‘This shouldn’t be happening to her…”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 819

Kevin did not know what to say. He thought, ‘We’ve chosen this path, and there’s no turning back.”

The determination Zach once had to hurt Madelyn was now replaced by deep remorse for everything he had done…

As the sky darkened, the grand church hall remained pristine and well-lit. The fire of burning candles inside the hall swayed due to the wind. The gloomy weather outside hinted at an impending storm.

Zach was sitting on the pew with his body straight, head bowed, and eyes closed in prayer.

After Kevin finished his last phone call, he walked into the hall, “Mr. Jardin, the hospital just called. Ms. Jent’s surgery will be completed soon. We should go back now.”

Zach opened his eyes. His strong gaze was less fierce than before, with an addition of calmness, “What time is it now?”

Kevin responded, “It’s already eight in the evening. Once we arrive at the hospital, her surgery should be close to completion.”

Zach and Kevin then walked out of the hall. There were two people that walked out from behind the church. It was an abbot and a staff member. The staff member asked, “Is this the person who donated money to our church?

“If he’s so rich, why does he still have worries?”

The abbot answered, “Everyone in the world has their worries, no matter who.

“Got it.”

The road downhill was rough. It filled with potholes, causing the car to jolt. In the heavy rain, the car sped along the elevated road.

When they arrived at the hospital, the scent of the church candles still lingered on Zach. When he arrived at the ward, he saw Kai, who looked weary, standing near the observation window. When Kai saw Zach, he stopped him and said, “The surgery went well. Now, we’ll just have to see if she can wake up.”

Zach responded, “That’s good.”

“What’s that smell on you?” Kai squinted as he sized Zach up. He was puzzled, “Did you visit Mistral Monastery?”

Kai thought, ‘He even did that. This means that everything I suspected has all come true…”

Kai wanted to say something to Zach. But when he was about to say it, he just said, “The surgery is done. You should rest properly for some time. Don’t wait for her to wake up, or you’ll wear yourself out before that happens.”

Even if Kai continued to advise Zach, it would just be of no use. Zach was staring unwaveringly at Madelyn, who was in the intensive care unit.

The surgery lasted over six hours. Kai went back to his office and lay on his couch. He then covered his eyes with his hand.

“I heard the surgery went well.”

A voice came from behind the bookshelf. Agustin was holding two books in his hands. Kai listlessly responded, “I don’t know. I’m sorry, Agustin… I’ve really done my best.”

“Since it’s already over, don’t think too much. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her. I was afraid the child would ask about her mother. If you’re tired, just sleep.”

Agustin thought, “I’ve watched Kai grow up. His facial features resemble those of his willful mother.’

He then grabbed a blanket to cover Kai before he left…

Lana was holding a thermal food container. When she saw Agustin coming out of the office, she could not help but glance away nervously and lean against the wall as she walked into the office. Inside the food container was the takeout she bought from The Deli.

Kai had just fallen into a deep sleep with his eyes closed. Lana was about to wake him up but decided against it. She planned to leave the thermal food container and leave…

Suddenly, there was a panicked voice, ” No… Don’t…”

A nightmare that had troubled him for over twenty years haunted him again. There was a sound of intense gunfire and a raging fire.

“Go with me, don’t abandon me…”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 820

Lana was startled when she heard Kai talking in his sleep. She saw him stretch his hand as if to grab something. Lana stood at the side quietly as she watched him. She had never seen him in such a vulnerable state before. Her eyes were filled with an indiscernible emotion.

It seemed like Lana had an inner conflict. She could not help but clench her fists on both sides of her body. In the end, she heartlessly prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, Lana’s thin wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong force. With a pull, she fell into Kai’s embrace.

When he felt the weight on his body, he opened his eyes and saw the panicked Lana. He quickly hid the coldness in his eyes and playfully raised his almond- shaped eyes, “What were you trying to do while I was asleep?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t do anything. Let go of me.” Lana tried to get up from him. But her waist was then grabbed by his hand. She could not move.

“You threw yourself into my arms, and you want to run away now? Huh?” Kai extended his hand under her shirt. Lana hissed in pain.

“What’s wrong?” Kai sensed something was not right when he saw her frown.

Kai lifted her shirt. But Lana was afraid of letting him know about something, so she quickly pulled her shirt down. She then freed herself from his grasp and stood up immediately, “I’ve placed the food you asked for on the table. If there’s nothing important, don’t contact me again.”

Kai took a few steps forward to block her way. He then pressed her against the wall, “Let me take a look before you go.”

Lana responded, “Don’t touch me! Let me go!”

Kai then made her lean against the office door with his hand, “Just for a moment.”

Lana said, “I’m begging you. Please don’t do this.”

“Did he hurt you?” Kai saw the area around her waist that seemed to have been scalded by boiling water. There was also a bruise. Lana forcefully pushed him away, ” That’s enough!

“You’ve already achieved your goal of sleeping with me, haven’t you? Stop meddling in my affairs. It’s none of your business.”

Kai took a deep breath. He looked somewhat troubled, “Your wound needs treatment.” He then raised his eyes and saw the panic and unease in hers.

The next moment, Kai bent down and carried her horizontally into the resting room inside his office. He then put her down on the bed in a sitting position.

She wanted to escape, but Kai held her down, “Your wound has already been infected. Once I’m done applying the medication to your wound, I’ll let you go.

Upon hearing that, Lana indeed became quiet. She knew that unless she followed his instructions, he would not allow her to leave. Kai grabbed a spare medical kit from the cabinet and took out the burn ointment. He said, “Lie down.”

Lana did not move. Kai said, “If you want him to recover as soon as possible, you better listen to me. “So, his operation…” Lana’s eyes seemed to light up as she grabbed his hand.

“Bring him here to the hospital tomorrow,” Kai replied with his head low. He was carefully applying ointment to her wound, “Does it hurt?”

Lana did not even hear what he said clearly. She just said, “What do I need to prepare when I bring Andrew here tomorrow?”

Kai responded, “His medical records. The hospital needs to analyze his medical records to plan his treatment. But I can’t guarantee that he’ll recover completely.”

“Is there anything else?” Lana noted the key points he mentioned.

“And…” Kai gently applied the muscle rub to her bruise, “Stop accommodating him. Stay away if he hits you. You don’t owe him anything anymore…

“Andrew isn’t as great as you think.”
