Chapter 5
Madelyn sat on the couch for a long while with her phone in her hand, but her didn’t subside. She had wanted to cook lunch for Andrew but wasn’t in the mood
anymore.

Andrew’s meeting went on until 12:30 pm. Suddenly, Rowan hurried downstairs and barked, “Get Dr. Patel here!”
Madelyn stared at him. A doctor? Was something wrong with Andrew’s wound? Her mind went blank, but her body reacted instantly. She shot to her feet and ran upstairs.
Rowan frowned as he watched her run off. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Was that alarm he had seen in her eyes? How could that be? Madelyn wanted nothing
more than to kill Andrew.
Madelyn barged into the study to see Andrew in his seat, looking pale. She ran to him and crouched before him. “Is the wound bleeding again?”
She reached to unbutton his shirt. He gave her an unfathomable look and grabbed her hands. She looked up to meet his icy gaze. Ignoring it, she tried to pull away. “Let me see what’s wrong, darling.”
Andrew only tightened his grip. He showed no intention of letting her go, which only made her anxiety grow. Fortunately, Rowan soon arrived with a doctor. It was Ivan Patel, whom Andrew trusted with his life.
Ivan hurried forward to check on Andrew when he saw how pale he was. Madelyn was inadvertently pushed away, but she wasn’t bothered. She stood up and moved aside while watching nervously.
Ivan checked Andrew’s wound. “It’s been infected.”
Madelyn and Rowan asked in unison, “But how?”
Ivan looked grim. He didn’t bother answering them and instead started tending to Andrew’s wound. Madelyn’s heart ached when she saw the sweat beading Andrew’s forehead.
The wound was so severely infected that he needed an IV drip. Ivan didn’t leave immediately after wrapping everything up. He stayed to check on the discarded dressing and pus. Then, he gave Madelyn a deathly glare.
She was confused and had an ominous feeling. Rowan stepped forward and subconsciously glanced at her. “What exactly happened?”

Seeing them like that, Andrew looked at Madelyn as well. She frowned, not
understanding what this meant. Ivan turned to Andrew, saying, “Someone’s
tampered with this medication. It’s good that we discovered this in time. Otherwise, your life would’ve been in danger.”
So, the mastermind wanted to kill Andrew?
Madelyn sucked in a breath, instantly understanding what the men’s looks meant. Rowan gritted his teeth as he glared at her.
“It wasn’t me!” She turned to Andrew and blurted without thinking. Then, she
stiffened.
She recalled how Andrew had spent a month in the hospital in her previous life. It wasn’t solely because of the severity of his injuries; it was also because someone. had tampered with his medication.
Madelyn was the one who had done it then. She switched out the medication after listening to Elena, who told her the maids would immediately search for a first aid kit upon learning that Andrew was injured. It happened so long ago that Madelyn had forgotten about it.
“Darling, I…” Her mind was blank as she stared at Andrew. She wanted nothing more than to slap herself.
‘Please leave, Mrs. Miller.” Rowan couldn’t suppress his rage anymore. He rudely asked Madelyn to leave the room.
Her gaze was still fixed on Andrew. When she saw his eyes turning colder, she blabbered anxiously, “How about I take you back to the room so that you can rest?”
This was all her fault. She deserved to die! Still, she knew better than anyone that she was truly doomed if she couldn’t explain this.
Seeing that Madelyn refused to leave, Rowan stepped forward to physically eject her
from the room.
“Rowan, step out,” Andrew commanded coldly.
didn’t mean for this to happen. 1 swear!”
