The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 904

Kai's resolve melted as he looked into Lana's eyes, glistening with the trails of recent tears.

"Madelyn's sick," Kai said with a soft voice. "She's fresh out of surgery and still not out of the woods. I need to go see how she's doing."

Lana moved closer and wrapped her arms around him, "Can I tag along this time? I won't make any fuss, I swear. I just want to stick by you. We need you around more, for me and the baby, deal?"

Down in the underground parking lot of their apartment, Kai made sure Lana's seat belt was secure, "Stick with me when we get there, okay? And don't worry about the folks there; they're harmless."

"Got it. I'll stay put, no worries," Lana said, her voice laced with excitement at the prospect of accompanying him.

The previous night's snowstorm had left a chill in the air, prompting Kai to crank up the car's heat before he gently straightened her scarf, "If anything feels off, you tell me, alright?"

"Alright," she answered.

Kai got lost in Lana's smile for a moment as they drove. The car glided steadily over the snow-cleared streets until they arrived at the Jent residence. Once the car was parked, Lana gripped Kai's hand and said, "I'm scared I might slip on the slippery ground."

A maid approached to relieve Kai of his medical kit.

Kai wrapped his arm around Lana's shoulder and said, "Watch your step on those icy patches."

As they made their way upstairs, Lana stayed close behind Kai. Once he had finished his examination, she placed his stethoscope back into the kit.

Kai then spoke to Zach, who had a serious expression, "Don't worry. There's no major issue. Madelyn has a high fever, but I've given her the medication to bring it down. She'll likely feel much better after she wakes up."

Noticing a ring on Madelyn's hand while he was checking her, Kai pondered, 'Zach acted quicker than I thought. He doesn't strike me as the kind to get all romantic and propose on one knee to Madelyn.'
