The following day, Derek finally regained consciousness in the afternoon. After the doctor came over for a check–up and found no serious issues, he advised, “The patient can be discharged now. However, once he’s home, he needs to rest and recuperate properly. Remember, it’s crucial not to stress the patient any

Following that, Sebastian went to assist with the discharge procedures while Madelyn helped Derek sit up.

Once everything was taken care of, they all hopped in the car and headed home.

Upon their arrival at the Thornton residence, Madelyn first helped Derek to take a seat on the couch. Sebastian also sat nearby. Then, the family had a heartwarming chat together for a while.

As the evening approached, Madelyn was in high spirits. She strolled into the kitchen, donned an apron. and set about preparing a meal for her family.

After preparing the ingredients, Madelyn began to wash them one by one.

The neatly arranged clean beef was laid on a chopping board. Then, with a knife in hand, the beef was cut into evenly proportioned cubes. These were then piled into a spotless white porcelain bowl.

Once all the ingredients were ready, Madelyn prepared to light the stove.

At first, a certain amount of blended oil was poured in. Once the oil in the pan started bubbling, the diced red beef was added in sequence. During the process, seasonings and starch were intermittently added.

Derek watched his daughter skillfully carry out everything, filled with surprise and delight.

He immediately walked in and asked, “Maddie, when did you learn to cook?”

“What’s the big deal? I know a lot of things. It’s just that you don’t know it” Madelyn chuckled. mischievously, her playful charm shining through.

“Indeed, you’ve grown up and can’t stay by my side every day, I didn’t even know when you learned how to cook,” Derek said, expressing some regret, but he was also quite pleased. This girl has always been casual and rasygoing. but now she has finally developed a touch of femininity. Moreover, she’s becoming more and more like her

mother.

Whenever Derek thought of Grace, he would be deeply moved.

Along, long time ago, Grace would also tie an apron around her waist, busying herself in the kitchen to prepare meals for the family.

Regrettably, those days could never be revisited.

Upon reflecting on that, Derek felt a wave of profound regret surge within

Derek uttered, “After all, you two are only engaged right now. It’s always a bit uncertain, isn’t it? Why not pick a date, get your marriage certificate, and have the wedding ceremony?”

Madelyn became even more bewildered. Marriage?

Of course, the thought was there. However, at that time, she was still in the midst of her studies and hadn’t graduated yet. Moreover, Sebastian was always busy with his work. Besides, the two of them hadn’t had a proper discussion about this matter yet.

Thus, she had no choice but to deflect, saying, “Dad, it’s still early to talk about marriage. There’s no need to rush right now. Let’s discuss this after some time has passed,”

Derek, however, didn’t see it that way. “Maddie, it’s only natural for two people in love to get married. Besides, I’ll be more at case if you settle down sooner.”

“Um…” Madelyn was somewhat embarrassed. “However, this isn’t a minor matter. Shouldn’t it require a considerable amount of long–term preparation?”

Upon hearing these words, Derek was greatly dissatisfied. “These are all just excuses! Someone who truly wants to get married can always find the time to do so. What’s the matter? Is Sebastian not willing to marry you?”

“Of course, that’s not the casel” Madelyn immediately clarified. “I just feel like it might be a bit too early…

“What’s so early about it? You’re about to graduate, and Sebastian has reached the age where he should be settling down. Isn’t getting married perfectly normal?” Derek responded matter–of–factly.

“But…” Madelyn still seemed somewhat hesitant.

At that moment, Derek suddenly furrowed his brows in suspicion, his gaze intensely fixed on Madelyn’s

eyes.

“Maddie, be honest with me. Are you still unable to forget Christopher?” Derek suddenly asked.

What? Madelyn was left speechless. “Dad, what on earth are you talking about?”

In fact, if Derek hadn’t mentioned this character, Madelyn almost completely forgot about him. She obviously no longer had feelings for Christopher.

Hence, she voiced out her discontent, “Dad, there’s no need for wild guesses. I have a handle on my own allairs. Don’t worry.

In the end, Derek let out a heavy sigh. “I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child. There are some things, even if you don’t say them, I understand. You’ve always been a stubborn child, always clinging to the things you can’t have. However, let me tell you something. Sebastian is a good man, worth dedicating your life to. Hence, stop wasting your time and effort on Christopher, and don’t let Sebastian down.”

Unbeknownst to everyone, Sebastian was standing outside the door when those words were spoken. His expression subtly shifted from calm to a darkened gloom.

He was just about to check on the situation in the kitchen, but as he approached the doorway, he heard those words and instantly froze.
