The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1023

Kai questioned, "Did you call me here to keep her safe?"

Zach replied tersely, "Keep Yvonne's survival a secret from Madelyn. I fear Madelyn might impulsively try to go after Ethan."

Kai, setting down the tablet, scoffed, "Afraid of Yvonne now? Worried she'll harm Madelyn?"

Kai pressed on before Zach could counter. "A wounded woman is dangerous, Zach. This is your mess. Madelyn shouldn't be dragged into it. And remember, Cecilia is a far greater threat than Yvonne. You can't control Cecilia like you did Yvonne. She's the real danger here."

In Kai's mind, Cecilia's ambitions were alarmingly formidable, posing a severe risk to a vulnerable Zach.

Kai was still haunted by the memory of Alicia's sacrifice for Madelyn. He had made an unbreakable vow to protect Madelyn at all costs, and it was a promise he was determined to fulfill.

After Zach departed for work, Kai went to check on Madelyn in her room. Once Margaret had brought her water and medicine, leaving them alone, Madelyn queried, "What did Zach tell you?"

"He asked me to look after you," Kai answered, his voice steady.

Madelyn, her eyes serious, reminded him, "Don't forget your promise to me."

Kai hesitated but eventually divulged, "The figure you saw last night was Yvonne. She's alive."

Madelyn, shocked, sat up. "Yvonne's alive? Then what about Ethan?"

Kai observed the deep concern in Madelyn's eyes, reminiscent of Alicia's worry for Erick in the past. He silently prayed that Madelyn would not suffer Alicia's fate, losing her heart to a man and dying of heartache.

In Kai's opinion, Zach was not the man Madelyn should trust her life with. If possible, he would rather have her with Ethan than Zach.

Softly, Kai advised, "Ethan's remains weren't found. He might be alive. But keep this from Yvonne. Her fixation on Zach could make her target you.
