The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1004

Kai sighed and covered for her. He placed the medicine onto Zach's hands and advised him, "Your wife wouldn't take her medication and doesn't want to get well. Talk to her. I won't meddle in this anymore."

Then, he whispered to Zach, "Everything can be discussed with. She's still young, so treat her like a child."

It was true that Zach was already more than thirty years old while Madelyn was still in her twenties. He could have been her uncle at that age. The age gap caused them to not have many common topics to talk about. Hence, Zach had no choice but to compromise.

After Kai left, Madelyn and Zach were left alone in the room. Compared to the lively atmosphere outside with fireworks and firecrackers, the room was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Madelyn poured a cup of water from a jug nearby. It was already cold, but she still drank from it. Zach furrowed his brows and stopped her. He said, "Lie down and rest. I'll go boil some water."

Before Zach had achieved his current status, he had lived in poverty. He had stayed in basements and tried to survive with much difficulty. In order to earn money, he had to be ruthless.

He took off his coat and rolled his sleeves. Then, he went out to get some water to boil. Seeing that there were a few pears left in the refrigerator, Zach began to wash the pot and prepared poached pears for her.

It was New Year's Eve, and it was exceptionally cold. Madelyn had chosen the wrong time to get sick. When she lay back in bed, her body felt like it was on fire due to the cold shower.

When Zach entered the room with the poached pears, he saw Madelyn vomited all over the bed. She had not eaten anything throughout the day, so it was all just her stomach acid. Her throat was burning while Zach patted her back. He passed a cup of water for her to rinse her mouth. Five days had passed, yet her illness had worsened.
