The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 380

Madelyn kept sleeping until night came. Then, she woke up to the sound of pages being flipped. She squinted her eyes and saw a person standing by her bedside. Ethan was wearing an off-white sweater, which showed the tattoo on his neck. The soft lighting of the room shined on his side profile. When he turned around, it was Zach's face.

Madelyn was so frightened she woke up completely and jolted backward. When she saw Ethan's face clearly, she sighed in relief.

Ethan shut his book and apologized, "Sorry for scaring you."

Madelyn's heart was still beating wildly, needing some time to calm down. She replied, "It's fine. I just had a nightmare." She brushed her hair and hugged her blanket while sitting on the bed.

She then asked, "How'd you come over?"

"I called you, but it wouldn't go through. I assumed something had happened to you, so I came in to check. I saw that you were still asleep, so I thought I'd wait for you for a while," Ethan answered.

Madelyn could see that he also had a blanket on him. Ethan smiled and explained to her, "It was a little cold, and I couldn't find any comforters..."

Madelyn was worried and went to him, "Are your legs hurting again? Do you need me to massage them for you?"

Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him, "It'll be warmer if you squeeze in. That way, it won't hurt."

Madelyn could feel her heart beating, but it was from nervousness this time, not fear. She leaned on his shoulder and hesitantly stretched her hand out to hug his waist.

'This is just being in the same bed, right? That way, I won't be lying to Hayson. I'll do it just this one time,' Madelyn thought.

She stared at the book on his lap and asked, "Is the book good?"
