Reborn to My Engagement Night (Madelyn and Sebastian) novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Life In Danger

Finished

After a moment of contemplation, Sebastian said nonchalantly. “There’s no point in forcing things. They have to make their own decisions in matters of the heart.”

“Hmm. you do have a point,” Madelyn agreed.

It seems I have been too hasty in this matter. From note on, I should take things one step at a time. However, if Harriet truly has designs on Sebastian, I won’t just stand by and do nothing.

Then, the two of them returned home, washed up, and went to bed.

In the following few days. Madelyn began taking over the large project arranged by her father.

Given that this project was an international collaboration, the stakes were high. Madelyn dared not make any mistakes. She was utterly dedicated, pouring every ounce of her attention and effort into it.

Upon seeing his daughter’s determination, Derek was filled with pride.

At noon, in Ingram Manor, Janessa was feeling incredibly restless after being grounded by Rachel for thres days.

Every day, alone in the room, her mind would wander. She would think about the ins and outs of the company’s transfer, and the more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt.

On that day, Janessa finally managed to get out and was sharing a meal with Rachel.

As they ate, Rachel advised, “Janessa, although I was indeed upset with what happened this time. I’ve grounded you for your own good. Have you reflected on what you’ve done?”

“I have.” After taking a bite, Janessa nodded.

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Rachel was satisfied. “It’s good that you’ve come to your senses, but your sister has already taken over the company. We’ll have to plan our next move carefully.”

Upon hearing this, Janessa felt indignant, but she didn’t have any other choice.

Meanwhile, after finishing their work, Cheryl and Caleb went to the hospital to visit Rupert.

Upon arriving at the hospital room, the two first laid eyes on their mother, who had spent the night keeping vigil by their father’s side. The dark circles around her eyes had notably deepened.

Suddenly, Cheryl felt a pang of sadness.

She recalled that in the past, her mother was particularly fond of visiting the beauty salon for treatments.

Whenever her skin seemed even slightly darker, or if there was a single strand of white hair, or the faintest hint of a wrinkle, her mother would worry to the point of screaming.

But now, her father was critically ill, and her mother was no longer in the mood to fuss over her appearance,

Every day, the latter sat by Rupert’s sickbed, her complexion sallow. Her mental state, too, seemed

Truly exhausted. Scarlet simply nodded and took a seat b

the side.

“Did Dad show any improvement these past few days?” Caleb asked,

Scarlet wearily shook her head, then let out a deep sigh. “There’s no improvement at all. The doctor is still trying to figure out what’s wrong with your father. How can they treat him if they don’t even know what’s the cause? Your father has been surviving solely on his drip. It’s hard to imagine how thin he has become. Even if he recovers from his illness, his physique will definitely not be as robust as before”

As she spoke. Scarlet suddenly grew angry. “I really don’t understand what has gotten into Janessa. Even if she despised my daughter and me, she shouldn’t have harmed her own biological father! Just as expected of a child without a mother. Without anyone to guide her, she’s disregarding even her own family”

After venting all her resentment on Janessa, Scarlet finally felt a great deal of relief.

Upon hearing this, Caleb was outraged. “Thankfully, the company is back in our hands now. Otherwise, who knows what else Janessa could have done?”

“Enough, what’s the use of talking about all this now?”

Listening to these words, Cheryl didn’t fan the flames further, sighing instead. “I just hope Father gets better soon. All that matters is that he’s healthy.”

During this period. Cheryl had matured significantly due to work.

The youthful aura about her gradually faded, evolving into a more mature, feminine presence. Finally she was no longer as flustered as before when faced with challenges.

At that moment, someone unexpectedly walked in.

Upon hearing footsteps, the three of them turned around and realized that it was none other than Rupert’s doctor. Without any hesitation, they respectfully cleared a space for the doctor.

“Excuse me, which one of you is related to the patient?” the doctor asked, looking at the three of them.

Scarlet swiftly stood up. “Doctor, I’m the patient’s wife, and these two are my children.”

Upon hearing the words, the doctor nodded. “Since you both are the patient’s closest kin. I’ll speak candidly. Now, I have both good news and bad news to share with you.”

His tone was slightly grave, indicating that he was about to discuss something of great importance.

Scarlet and her two children all turned their attention to the doctor, eagerly awaiting what he was about to

say

The good news is, we thoroughly examined the patient this morning. In reality, the patient doesn’t have an incurable disease. He has just consumed a toxic substance, which has caused his brain to go into shock, leading us to mistakenly diagnose it as a life–threatening condition the doctor explained flatly.
