Back in Time to Fall for Him novel Chapter 123

Madison didn't stay unconscious for long. By noon, she woke up.

She stared at the familiar white ceiling in a daze until everything from before she fainted came rushing back. She jolted upright but instantly regretted it. The sudden motion triggered the dizziness and nausea all over again, forcing her to lean over the bed and retch.

Just then, a quiet sigh sounded above her.

Madison looked up with watery eyes and saw Sam rise from the chair beside her. Dressed in a black suit, he walked to the cabinet and poured her a cup of warm water.

"Drink some water. It'll help."

He held the cup out to her. The moment she saw the steam rising from it, her already swollen eyes turned red again.

"Thank you," Madison whispered, taking it and sipping carefully.

An uncomfortable silence settled between them. Sam returned to his chair, watching her with a solemn expression, unsure of how to start.

After thinking for a moment, he finally broke the silence. "This incident was my grandfather's fault. You suffered because of him, but I'll take care of it. It won't happen again."

Her hand paused mid-air. She looked up, stunned. "What do you mean? What does any of this have to do with Mr. Goodwin Senior?"

Wasn't it the people from Mudward Isle who took her?

Before she could piece it together, Sam explained, "I've already investigated it. All of it was a setup by my grandfather.

"He knew Johnny owed you tens of millions, so he tempted him into installing surveillance on you. He planned to leak company secrets through you at the critical moment."

Madison stared at him, speechless. Not once had she suspected William. Almost without thinking, she whispered, "Why… would he do that?"

Sam hesitated for several seconds. Then he said quietly, "Because he wanted you gone."

Gone?

Madison thought about it, and the more she replayed events, the more it made sense. And the realization terrified her. William had quietly crafted an entire trap right under her nose.

The scariest part was that she didn't notice a thing.

Then another realization struck her. Was William the one who killed Sam in her previous life?

If he was, then it explained why he hadn't reacted when Sam died. Of course, he didn't. He was the one who had arranged it.
