The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 

Madelyn was near Ventrocloud High. She had not been outside for days, so her mood brightened as she watched the bustling street. Without a phone, she realized she had no one to worry about or to contact, making her world exceptionally quiet. 

Unconsciously, Madelyn walked into a familiar alley, the same one Forrest had taken her for a meal before. She had no idea why she had come here. As Madelyn was about to leave, a woman in her forties or fifties walked out carrying a basin with water. Upon seeing Madelyn, she immediately recognized her, “You look somewhat familiar. You’re a friend of Forry, right?” 

Madelyn nodded in response. 

“Well, he gave me something last time and said it was for you. It’s been so many days, and I haven’t seen you come to pick it up. Just wait here. I’ll get it for you.” 

Madelyn had no idea what it was. During their last meal, she had only seen the owner, not his wife. So, she was puzzled by how the owner’s wife recognized her. 

After a short wait, the owner’s wife came with a black gift box tied with a pink ribbon. “This is something Forry left behind for you before he left. I thought you weren’t coming to pick it up after all this time.” 

Madelyn seized upon the main point of her words. “He left? Where did he go?” 

The owner’s wife said, “He took his mother to Russia for medical treatment and mentioned that he might not return for a long time. Didn’t you know?” 

Indeed, Madelyn had no idea about it. “Thanks.” 

“There’s no need to be so polite.” 

One of the customers called out, “Madam, more pasta, please.” 

“Coming right up.” 

Madelyn had no idea what was inside the box. She went to a nearby park and sat on a wooden bench, placing the gift box on her lap. Madelyn opened it and discovered a pair of pink plush gloves with no label, likely handmade. She thought of the woman, who had a gentle and refined demeanor. 

‘Aunt Sylvia probably made this.” 

It was the most touching gift Madelyn had received in her two lifetimes. However, regret filled her heart as she had broken her promise. She had not been able to successfully participate in the Math Olympiad, or secure a spot through recommendations, or witness Forrest’s admission to Ventropolis University. 

Her delicate and elegant jawline slightly tilted as she looked at the azure sky. At this moment, an airplane happened to fly overhead, leaving a trail of white in the sky.
