Chapter 94
But Andrew’s somber expression frightened her. She quickly nodded. “I’ll undergo the checkup, then.”
She had been insisting that she was fine earlier but changed her stance in a heartbeat. Clearly, she was afraid.
Andrew chuckled. “Alright, we’ll get the best doctor for the checkup.”
He hadn’t realized before how much she actually valued her life. Judging by how fearless she was when she argued with him, he thought she was always bold.
Having slept all day, Madelyn couldn’t sleep now. She racked her brain to remember when she might have injured herself. Why couldn’t she remember at all?
If she hadn’t been injured, nothing could explain the blood
clots that existed in her brain.
Endless questions kept her up the entire night.
In contrast, Andrew slept soundly. He’d been exhausted from the long week, so even her tossing and turning didn’t rouse him.
The next morning, Andrew carried Madelyn downstairs. As soon as they settled down for breakfast, a phone call from the Miller residence came.
“Andrew, come back right away. Bring Maddie with you,”

Athena said,
Sensing the graveness in Athena’s tone, Madelyn glanced at Andrew.
He met her gaze with a frown. Staring at the thick bandage on her forehead, he replied, “We’ll go back in the afternoon.”
“I’ll wait for you.”
Andrew hummed in acknowledgment and hung up promptly.
Madelyn was aware that Elijah was involved in the incident in Lotivale. Now that Athena had called, things might be more than what they seemed on the surface.
Though what happened back then was disappointing, Elijah was still Athena’s eldest grandson.
Andrew didn’t take Madelyn to the Miller residence right away. He changed her dressing in the morning and had her undergo
a series of tests.
The specialist finally confirmed that the blood clots didn’t affect the vital areas in her brain, so surgery wasn’t necessary.
Still, she had to be cautious to prevent catching colds. Apart from that, her condition wasn’t a major issue.
Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Madelyn. The idea of undergoing head surgery was daunting, after all.
