The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 391

Kai left after dropping his remark. Zach stared at his departing figure and felt somewhat displeased.

Hearing Kai's words, Jadie felt unease. "Zach... why were you talking about Madelyn? What happened to her?"

Zach cleared his throat, feeling the pain in his stomach again. He didn't want anyone to see him in this miserable state.

Back when Madelyn used to be around, he rarely felt this kind of pain. She would go to great lengths to make him drink less. She was practically glued to him all the time. Whether it was during work or social events, even if he had a drink with a potential client, she would scold that potential client to make sure he drank less. Sometimes, her actions even cost him potential clients, and Hayson punished her for it. And for every meal, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner, she would personally bring it to him.

Since Madelyn stopped pestering him, he always felt like something was missing.

Zach replied, "It's nothing. Why aren't you resting at this hour?"

Jadie felt uneasy because Zach was clearly keeping something from her. But when she saw him like this, she didn't press further. She adjusted his blanket and lowered her head, saying, "I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Zach gently patted her head to comfort her. "Go back to your room and get some rest. Aren't you going back to school tomorrow?"

"How about I feed you some pumpkin soup? You never eat when you drink," Jadie said as she opened a food container and ladled some pumpkin soup into a bowl. Since it was piping hot, she blew on it before offering it to Zach.

Zach looked at the hope in her eyes and couldn't bring himself to refuse.

After finishing the meal, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

Jadie was tidying up.

Zach interrupted her, "It's almost dawn. Kevin will take care of these things. Go back to sleep."
