Reborn to My Engagement Night (Madelyn and Sebastian) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 You Are A Murderer

After leaving the company. Madelyn planned to take a taxi back to Lockhart Villa.

ne point, the sky had become shrouded in dark clouds as a stifling heat hung in the air.

Madelyn stood by the roadside, waiting for a ride while contemplating. It seemed like it was going to rain.

I wonder what the weathers like in Atharia right now? I also wonder if he’s getting used to life over there

Just as she was lost in thought, a sudden rumble of thunder echoed from the horizon, startling Madelyn and making her heart skip a beat

A torrential downpour suddenly began.

The rain came without warning. Madelyn quickly scanned her surroundings, hoping to find a shelter from the downpour, bur all around her were wide roads. She had no place to hide.

What was even more unfortunate was that there wasn’t a single car on the road. Left with no other choice. Madelyn braced herself and stood in the rain, waiting for a ride.

Roughly fifteen minutes later, a taxi finally pulled up slowly beside her. After opening the door. Madelyn hastily climbed into the car.

Inside the car, the air conditioning was still running. Madelyn immediately shivered from the cold, her skin prickling with goosebumps.

At that moment, the driver caught sight of her drenched figure through the rearview mirror and hurriedly handed her a plastic hag

“Put this under you so my seat doesn’t get wet.”

Madelyn took the plastic bag and obediently followed instructions.

By the time she got home, it was already dark, but the torrential rain showed no signs of stopping.

Madelyn was completely drenched, her clothes sticking to her body as if she had just been fished out of the water.

Upon seeing this, Lydia hurriedly grabbed a dry towel and approached. “Mrs. Lockhart? Why did you come back drenched?”

As Madelyn shivered, she shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Upon seeing her in this state, Lydia couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. She quickly said. “The meal is just ready. Mrs. Lockhart. Why don’t you go upstairs and change your clothes, then come down for dinner!”

Madelyn nodded. Then, she ascended the stairs to return to her room.

After returning to her room, Madelyn first took a hot bath in the bathroom, which made her feel much more comfortable.

However, by the time she emerged, she had already started to sneeze.

Lydia quickly offered Madelyn a sip of ginger tea and urged her to cat.

While eating. Lydia reminded her. “Mrs. Lockhart, remember to bring an umbrella when you go out in the future. Women can’t afford to get drenched in the rain like men. It might not seem like a big deal now, but as you get older, it could lead to health problems.

Madelyn nodded gently and replied in a calm and quiet voice, “Thank you, Lydia”

Then, out of curiosity, Lydia asked, “By the way, Mrs. Lockhart, why hasn’t Mr. Lockhart been around these past few days?”

Upon hearing this, Madelyn’s eyes glazed over. A forced, rigid smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she replied, “Oh, Sebastian? He’s on a business trip to Atharia.”

“I see. Once you’ve finished your meal, you should hurry upstairs to get some rest,” Lydia advised.

Madelyn silently nodded. After eating she felt somewhat dizzy, so she went upstairs and quickly wrapped herself in a blanket before laying down to sleep.

After a night’s sleep, she woke up feeling groggy and unrested.

Madelyn tossed and turned restlessly several times before she finally managed to fall asleep.

Then, she began to dream incessantly.

At the beginning, she simply dreamt of her childhood days, a time when her mother was still around and life was fairly contented.

Grace was often busy cooking in the kitchen, while Madelyn would be outside with Derek, playing with building blocks

It was a rather childish game, yet Madelyn and Derek duo thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Later on, after Grace disappeared, the image of Madelyn’s stepmother striding in triumphantly with her stepsister in tow resurfaced.

Madelyn personally witnessed her younger self forcefully slamming the room’s door. From that moment on, she became rebellious and no–longer receptive to anyone’s discipline.

Everyone labeled her as an unlearned and incompetent young lady. Yet, no one knew about the pain she harbored within her heart

As the night continued, Madelyn found herself plagued by a series of unsettling dreams.

In her dreams, Madelyn found herself back in her past life.

Scene after scene of heart–wrenching images flashed before Madelyn’s eyes, causing her heart to clench tightly in anguish.

In her dream, she was manipulated and found herself standing in the midst of a crowd. Everyone around her was pointing fingers at her and staring at her with scorn. They accused her viciously, “Murderer!”

“Madelyn, you’re a murderer!”

“Madelyn, you’re the one who truly deserves to die!”

“Murderer, you deserve to die, you deserve to die…”

Madelyn cried incessantly, attempting to explain herself over and over, but the people around her simply wouldn’t listen. One by one, they sent her into the pitch–black prison.

The prison was gloomy and damp, with a pervasive musty smell hanging in the air.

Her prison uniform was stained with blood. Her hair a disheveled mess, she huddled in the corner and shivered uncontrollably.

During her days in prison, Madelyn was often cold due to inadequate clothing and struggled to get a good night’s sleep. The meals served were frequently spoiled.

In the middle of the night, rats would frequently scamper over her nose, even audaciously nibbling at her clothes. Madelyn. was often screaming because she was frightened..

The inmates were all incredibly brutal. They showed no reason or mercy, ceaselessly beating her, hurling insults, kicking her. and subjecting her to all forms of humiliation

After much difficulty, the prison guard finally arrived. However, her fellow inmates deliberately pointed her out as the root of all the disputes. In the end, Madelyn was once again brutally beaten by the prison guard with an electric baton.

During her time in prison, Madelyn found life unbearable.

Every day, she was covered in wounds and was in such pain that she wished for death. She felt like an insignificant ant. trampled upon by everyone.

Her days felt

being submerged in a deep well. unable to see a way out and groping in the darkness. Her body
