The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 350

It had not killed her, but she had developed a high fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If the maid had not found her, Hayden might not even have called a doctor to look at her.

After that, Madelyn had trouble breathing. She had to take a lot of yucky medicine every day. Too much medicine can be bad for you, especially if you are sick for a long time. So, Madelyn started to feel weaker and weaker.

'Maybe I'm not alone after all. There really are people who care about me,' she thought.

The next day, she slept in. 'If I keep missing morning classes, Ms. Hann will probably talk to me about it. I can't be late again tomorrow.'

"Miss Jent, didn't Mr. Arnold come down with you?" a maid asked.

Madelyn was taking some medicine sweetened with honey, so it was not too bitter. "Hasn't he gotten up yet?"

"No, I haven't seen him yet."

"I'll go get him."

Madelyn finished eating and headed upstairs. When she arrived at the room, she noticed the door was slightly open. She gave a gentle knock, and the door opened further. Inside, Ethan was shirtless, showing off his muscular body. His arms and neck were covered in tattoos with unusual designs that did not resemble any animal. Madelyn's eyes widened, and she quickly looked away. Ethan noticed her standing there and grabbed a gray shirt from the bed, putting it on and fastening the buttons.

"Aren't you worried about being late?" Ethan asked.

"Why'd you sleep in today?" Madelyn inquired.

"I have a week-long business trip in Marisburg," Ethan explained. "I'll get George to remind you to take your medicine while I'm gone."
