The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 349

"Why'd you come to the school?" Madelyn asked, catching her breath with her hand on her chest.

"George called me and told me you hadn't come home yet. I thought you might still be at school," Ethan said, giving a smile. "I was worried since it's late, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect the students here to be so enthusiastic."

Madelyn and Ethan rode the elevator down to the first floor. Madelyn looked anxiously back at Leyton, still upstairs. "You're such a big shot, most people don't get to see you," she said. "You could've just given me a call."

"I tried to call, but your phone was off," Ethan said.

"Oh!" Madelyn exclaimed, finally realizing. "I turned my phone off during the test. I'm sorry. You don't have to wait for me; you've got a lot of work to do."

"How could I not worry when you're alone?" he asked.

Madelyn's lips lifted into a smile. Nobody had ever been this kind to her.

"Leyton parked the car at the school entrance, so it's a bit of a walk," Ethan said. "Do you want me to carry you?"

Madelyn shook her head. "No, that's okay. I'm not tired, just a bit sleepy. Let's go home."

Suddenly, Ethan bent down and scooped her up into his arms. Madelyn was so surprised that she instinctively clung onto his neck. "There are still people around who haven't left class," she said. "We'll be seen."

"So what if they see us? I'm carrying my own girlfriend. Nobody can say anything about that."

Madelyn was worried about Ethan's legs. His recovery was taking time, and he was not fully healed yet. "If you get tired, just put me down."

"It's okay. I'm not tired."

They walked down the quiet path with lights illuminating the way. In the light beams, it looked like snowflakes were falling. Ethan's steps were slow, wishing the path could be a little longer. A big snowflake fell on his shoulder, and he looked up.
