The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 421

Sylvia had been in the operating room for three hours. Madelyn waited outside, repeatedly calling Forrest's phone, but he didn't answer.

Restlessly pacing back and forth, she wondered, 'Where on earth could Forrest be?' She didn't have any contact numbers for Forrest's close ones; she only had his.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Madelyn's mind, 'Could he be with Alex at Portsmouth Fishing Village?' Besides that place, she had no idea where else he might go.

Madelyn quickly found the phone number for the owner of Happy Seafood Grill, Jeff Massey.

While the phone was dialing, she thought, 'Please pick up!'

Meanwhile, at Portsmouth Fishing Village, Jeff was being held captive by a group of thugs. They had driven out all the diners who were enjoying their meals.

"What do you want?" Jeff asked.

Fred played with a knife in his hand. "Oh, nothing much, just a little something. But you'd better behave yourself, or this knife in my hand might lose its manners. If anyone calls you and asks anything, you better answer that you don't know. If you dare slip up, be careful about your life."

"Okay... okay..." Jeff, despite being a burly man standing at six-foot-three, couldn't do much against so many people. They outnumbered him, and he noticed a bulge around Fred's waist that looked like a gun. He didn't dare make any sudden moves.

Just as he finished speaking, the phone on the counter rang.

Fred gave him a stern look, and Jeff nervously picked up the phone. "Wh-Who is this?"

"Mr. Massey, it's me, Madelyn. I want to know if Alex is with Forrest. Or have you seen Forrest?"

Jeff replied, "I... I haven't seen him. Don't ask me. I... I don't know anything."

Fred took matters into his own hands and hung up the phone without warning. "You're cooperative. Remember, if she calls again, you know what you should say?"

Jeff responded, "Yes, I know... I know."
