That's not truel”
Funched
Almost instinctively, Harriet denied it, yet her flushed necks and cars had alrearly completely betrayed
her words.
“Why are you so nervous if that’s not true?” Madelyn chuckled lightly. “Sebastian might not notice, but we're
both women. | won't beat around the bush. I've seen through your feelings for Sebastian a long tago. | just
chose not to expose it.”
The color drained from Harriet’s face, leaving her look quite distressed.
The secret she had harbored for so many years, one slie had never voiced, was then laid bare by Madelyn. In an
instant, she felt a rush of embarrassment and irritation.
Given the circumstances, there was no point in pretending anymore. She admitted frankly, “You're right. I do
have feelings for Sebastian. But what of it? Don’t | have the right to love someone? And lettell you, it's been
Unexpectedly, Harriet decided to put her cards on the table, leaving Madelyn somewhat taken aback for a
moment.
However, Madelyn wasn’t one to back down, either. She said, “When it comes to matters of the heart, it's never
about who cfirst or last, Harriet. You need to wake up to reality.”
Harriet suddenly got angry out of embarrassment. “What business is it of yours whether | wake up or not?”
“Heh! Indeed, it's none of my business. Madelyn scoffed coldly.
Harriet continued in a stern tone, “In any case, just take care of yourself! After all, I've already said what |
needed to say. Just remember it.”
After saying that, she turned around to leave.
Having barely taken a step forward, she suddenly turned back around, flashing an enigmatic smile. “Also, don’t
flatter yourself, Madelyn. Just because Sebastian is willing to be with you, that doesn’t mean he truly likes you.
There’s so much you don’t know. We'll see how things unfold!”
After she finished speaking, Harriet smiled smugly, then turned and left with an air of arrogance.

A sense of unease settled in Madelyn’s heart. Why do the words she has just spoken seem to carry an underlying
message? She's about to leave the country, yet she cover just to say all that. Was she deliberately trying to
sow discord? Is she out of her mind?
With that in mind, Madelyn immediately becextremely upset. Her face, already pale from illness, then took
on an even darker shade.
Later on, Sebastian arrived with dinner in tow,
Madelyn looked at him, seeming to want to say something but hesitating. “Sebastian...”
“What's wrong?” Sebastian responded as he simultaneously opened the thermos flask, readying the meal to feed
her.

Madelyn watched his movements, feeling a warmth spread through her heart.

And so, the question that was initially filled with doubt was swallowed back down. “It’s nothing. There are just
sthings | can’t quite understand.”
Upon hearing this, Sebastian softly responded, “If you can’t figure it out, then don’t dwell on it. It's more
important to resi well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sebastian brought over a portion of pasta, interspersed with sclean, green
vegetables.
“This again?” Madelyn expressed her dissatisfaction as he looked at the few pitiful pieces of vegetables.

Sebastian could only pat her head gently, consoling her “You're injured, so you can’t eat strong-1 food. Just bear
with it for a while. Once you're healed, you can eat whatever you want.”
Reluctantly, Madelyn could only nod and say, “All righ Fine.”
“Good girl.” Sebastian gazed at her obedient little face, smile unknowingly tugging at the lips
He then proceeded to feed her.
While eating. Madelyn would occasionally glance up at Sebastian.

Even under close scrutiny, Sebastian's skin held up to the test. His skin was clean and smooth to the point that
even his pores were barely visible.
Madelyn could only forget about the matter troubling her. Perhaps Harriet simply can’t stand our close
relationship and deliberately said such things.
Regardless of the circumstances, she knew she had to trust him. That was the only way.
After dinner. Sebastian tidied up the bowls and utensils
Suddenly recalling the surveillance footage from the morning, he sat next to Madelyn and said. “We've made
sdefinite progress in identifying the person who set you up.”
Madelyn had known that all along because Josiah had already gone to tell her during the day.
However, she still feigned curiosity and asked, “Who exactly tried to harm me?”
Sebastian's expression visibly tensed. “We haven't figured out all the details yet, but we know it was a thug He's
already fled, but the police are investigating thoroughly. They should be able to locate him soon, there's no need
to worry.”
“Oh... That's good, then.” Madelyn nodded, lost in thought.
However, she had anticipated all of this in her heart.
Naturally, Janessa would not be foolish enough to cut the rope herself when it cto such matters.
If Janessa were truly that foolish, then she wouldn't have had the capacity to cause her demise in her previous
life.

However, this time, Madelyn really had it rough. Although her shoulder wasn’t seriously injured, the pain she had
endured over the past couple of days was far from trivial.
It's such a significant injustice. There's no way | can let it go easily. The only problem is that I'm stuck in the
hospital, unable to personally deal with that lovelife, Janessa. If only | could be discharged. With these thoughts
in mind. Madelyn found herself contemplating-
After mulling it over, she clung onto Sebastian's arm and said, “Sebastian, | want to go home. Could you help me
with the discharge procedures?”
“No way.” Sebastian responded decisively. What is this girl thinking about now? She's so hurt, but she just
doesn’t want to stay put!
Madelyn knew that Sebastian was worried about her safety, so she could only coax him playfully, saying.
“Sebastian, I'm fine now. Besides, didn’t the doctor say that I’m not seriously injured? All | need to do is to take
care of my shoulder, right? Since it’s all about healing, | can do it anywhere, right? Besides, I'm more
comfortable at home. It might eveh speed up my recovery, don’t you think?”
After Madelyn finished speaking, she looked toward Sebastian with anticipation.
If this girl went home, she certainly wouldn't stay put. If she went out again and got herself hurt, would she ever
recover? It seemed as if Sebastian pondered for a moment, but he still refused, answering, “No. There's more to
it, isn’t there?”
“Gosh! Sebastian, | promise once I'm home, | won't go anywhere else. Can't | just stay in my room and nurse my
wounds? | swear!” Madelyn said, raising three fingers solemnly as she spoke, her small face serious.
Seeing her like that, Sebastian couldn't help but feel a bit shaken inside.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise, reluctantly summoning the doctor. The doctor cover to
perform a final check on the injury on her shoulder.
After a brief examination of her shoulder, the doctor sid, “Ms. Thornton, you have a strong ability to heal. If you
don’t feel any significant pain, you can be discharged. However, you must continue to rest at hand should
absolutely avoid moving your left shoulder
Upon hearing this, Madelyn broke into a delighted smile. “See? | told you, didn’t I?”
Sebastian's expression darkened, a sense of helplessness washing over him. With no other choice, he agreed to
handle her hospital discharge procedures the next day and then take her home.
