The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1020

Zach said, "Tomorrow, I'll have someone install some extra lights near the front door. By the way, we've just developed a new device at the company that allows your phone to receive identity recognition alerts if anyone enters when I'm not home."

'It's not about preventing thieves but rather guarding against me trying to leave. He's just trying to make it all sound fancy,' Madelyn thought.

The person hiding in the shadows stood downstairs, watching as the lights in the house gradually dimmed. Their gaze slowly turned icy, filled with sadness and resentment.

Time passed, and the only light came from the faint moonlight, obscured by thick clouds, making the air heavy. Suddenly, a drizzle started to fall from the sky. It permeated the person's body, transforming the coldness into a pain that swept through their entire being.

At four in the morning, the rain intensified. A loud thunderclap echoed, accompanied by the cries from the nursery next door. Madelyn turned over and gave a kick to Zach next to her under the covers. "Zach, go check on Dal. He's crying again."

Zach was resting with his arm over his eyes as the kick woke him up. Taking a deep breath, he took a moment before reaching over to turn on the light. Zach lifted the blanket and put on the pajamas beside him when out of bed. Before leaving, he made sure to tuck her in properly.

When Zach went to the next-door nursery to comfort Dalton, the crying was piercing. Unable to shake off her concern, Madelyn hurried over. If the crying kept up, it would be dawn soon. Every time it thundered and rained, Dalton cried nonstop.

Madelyn walked over and said, "Let me handle it. When are you planning to renovate the house? The soundproofing is terrible. There's often heavy rain and thunder these days, and Dal keeps getting woken up and starts crying. Things can't keep going on like this."

Zach replied, "Got it. I'll have Kevin come over tomorrow to take a look. I'm going to have a smoke."
