Chapter 428
Zach’s tone left no room for argument.
Jadie had just arrived after finishing the Math Olympiad test. She had learned about Madelyn being hospitalized by
asking
Kevin.
With Zach absent the previous night, Jadie had already formed her own conclusions. Her thoughts raced as she
prepared to leave the hospital. Her contemplative gaze lingered on the closed room door.
As she moved towards the exit, she accidentally bumped into Kai, causing him to drop several scattered test
reports. In her panic, Jadie quickly apologized, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to!”
Kai reassured her, “It’s alright, I should have been more careful.” He knelt to retrieve the scattered papers,
including Madelyn’s CT scan report.
Hayson, too, stood among them. A paper floated to his feet, and as he picked it up, Zach’s signature came into
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtview on a consent form for uterine removal.
A sudden chill passed over Hayson’s face. Kai inquired, “Mr. Jent?”
Kai repeated, “Mr. Jent?”
Hayson remained silent, his intense gaze enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone present. Kai simply
offered a faint smile and expressed his gratitude.
In a separate conversation, Kai updated Ethan on Madelyn’s condition. “Mr. Arnold, please don’t worry. Ms. Jent is
suffering from exhaustion, which led to a rupture in her uterine surgical wound. Thankfully, we managed to stop the
bleeding, and she’s currently in stable condition. It’s crucial that she follows her medication regimen. Additionally,
be particularly attentive to her emotional well-being, as her medical records indicate a history of severe depression.
Today, she experienced an episode and nearly attempted suicide by jumping out of a window.”
Ethan remained silent for a moment before responding, “I understand.”
Meanwhile, in another corridor, Leyton arrived via the elevator, and Kai returned to the hospital room.
Approaching Ethan, Leyton shared, “We’ve completed our investigation. Last night, Miss Jent was searching for
Forrest because Sylvia’s old illness flared up, and she received a critical condition notice.”
Ethan’s expression darkened with anger. “I underestimated Forrest and his mother. How did Madelyn get involved
with her?”
Leyton clarified, “Yesterday, Sylvia was called to Ventrocloud High School, where she encountered Miss Jent on the
Sylvia fainted, and it was Miss Jent who took her to the hospital.”
way.
A steely resolve filled Ethan’s eyes. “It appears our previous lessons didn’t leave a strong enough, Go bring Forrest
out of the basement. Let his mother see what happens when they mess with my people!”
“Yes, Mr. Arnold!”
Sylvia’s frail form resembled a wilting flower. Margaret had tended to her tirelessly throughout the night, and Sylvia
had shown some improvement, managing to consume a bit of liquid nourishment.
Abruptly, the hospital room door swung open with force, and a battered boy dressed in black was unceremoniously
thrust into the room. His ankles bore heavy shackles that produced a metallic clinking sound with each step.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia and Margaret were utterly shocked by the unexpected arrival.
Sylvia exclaimed, “Forry!”
Forrest struggled to rise to his feet.
Ethan entered the room at a deliberate pace. “It’s been a while, Mrs. Arnold.”
Sylvia, upon witnessing Forrest’s condition, momentarily disregarded her own discomfort and stepped in front of
him protectively.
The scene of a loving mother and her obedient son pierced like a thorn into Ethan’s heart. He pulled up a chair and
settled down, inadvertently casting his gaze upon Margaret, a face he recognized as a servant of the Jent family.
“You have no reason to be here. You may leave,” he directed toward her.
Margaret swiftly exited the room, almost as if her life depended on it.
“What do you intend to do?” She then implored, “…If you intend to do anything, direct it at me, not Forrest.”
Now, with just the three of them remaining in the room, Ethan emanated an icy chill that seemed to permeate from
head to toe. “What I intend to do? Why don’t you ask your son about it? I’ve made myself clear before; as long as
you behave accordingly, I can permit your place within the Arnold family. But now, you’ve harbored intentions
toward my girlfriend. So, tell me… how should I discipline you? Erase you from Ventropolis? That… wouldn’t be a
challenge at all!”
