Chapter 1110
Kai asked, “Is everything okay?”
The nurse gave a quick nod. “All good. I’m off to fetch the meds.” In
her mind, she pondered, ‘That medicine hasn’t seen the light of day in ages. Why’s it being used for this patient?’
Just then, a voice called out, “Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Jardin!”
Kai glanced up, his eyebrows raised slightly, as he heard voices
outside.

cups of water, sliding one toward Madelyn. “Here, I added some brown sugar to this one. It’ll help warm you up.”
Madelyn smiled in thanks.
“So, what brings you here today?” Kai knew they usually had a reason.
Madelyn turned to Zach. “You go handle your stuff.”
Zach, needing to step out but reluctant to leave Madelyn alone,
decided it was best that she stay here.
The evening sun set, reflecting the recent mix of warm and chilly
weather. Zach, wanting to keep Madelyn cozy, shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
“Stay put for a bit, okay? Don’t go anywhere. I’ll come find you soon. Just be patient.”
Madelyn barely had time to react when Kai, slightly frazzled by their
close interaction, said, “You two could be a bit more mindful of others
around you.”
Zach said, “Keep an eye on her. If anything happens, it’s on you.”
Kai replied, “Relax. She’s not going to vanish into thin air.”
Once Zach was gone, Madelyn’s demeanor transformed as she gently touched her cheek, remembering Zach’s
touch. “I bumped into
Yvonne.”

Kai paused at her words while he was fetching a new, unused blanket for the couch. “You really shouldn’t be
meeting with her, Madelyn. It’s best for you to stay away. Zach’s past is still a touchy subject, and she’s in a bad
state. She’s been disfigured, so there’s no telling what she’ll do out of desperation.”
Madelyn held the warm cup, her fingers tracing the glass. “I’m aware. I just needed to ask her something.”
“I understand you want to ask about Ethan’s location, but there’s
something she’s keeping under wraps. Don’t worry though, I’m on it.
I’m trying to slowly coax Ethan’s whereabouts out of her. We need to
play it cool, especially around Zach.”
Madelyn nodded in agreement. “Got it. And thanks for last night’s
help.”
