Chapter 459
The night’s rain was very cold. Madelyn draped a scarf over herself before going downstairs. Margaret turned on
the lights
downstairs.
In the darkness, they saw a man dragging his weary body, walking very slowly. Madelyn’s pupils suddenly
contracted. And without any hesitation, she rushed into the rain. Margaret quickly took an umbrella hanging by the
entrance and followed her.
Madelyn’s clothes were soaked with the rain. She tightly frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? It’s so late. Why aren’t
you home? Why aren’t you using an umbrella when it’s raining now? Where’s Leyton?”
Madelyn was worried when she saw his disheveled appearance. She felt a lump in her throat.
Ethan moved his lips slightly and fell onto Madelyn’s body. It seemed as if he had used the last bit of his strength to
hold her tightly. The cold raindrops on his black hair dripped onto the fair skin of Madelyn’s neck. She leaned back

Margaret worriedly muttered, “Oh my goodness, he fainted.”
Madelyn quickly helped him to the couch in the living room. She said, “Ro… Margaret, please boil some hot water
and get a clean set of clothes from Zach’s room.”
Margaret was quick on her foot, “Oh, okay, okay…”
Madelyn’s clothes were partially wet too. She removed the scarf and noticed a fresh blood stain on one side. Her
heart skipped a beat as she thought, ‘Where did this blood stain come from?‘
As she unbuttoned his coat jacket, she noticed the tattoo on his neck had been removed. There were several scars
on different parts of his body, some of which were bleeding.
She did not have the time to overthink. She was afraid that Ethan might really be in trouble. After she removed his
last shirt, she covered her mouth in shock. Her heart was pounding extremely fast. She was extremely shocked by
what she saw.
His upper body was covered in injuries. The skin from his neck to his fingertips was all marked with what looked like
burns. Madelyn thought, ‘What in the world had happened to him?‘
Margaret acted quickly and put aside the clothes she took from upstairs. When she saw Ethan, she was also
frightened, “Oh my goodness, what happened to this man? Ms. Jent, maybe we should call an ambulance
immediately.”
She then reached out to touch Ethan’s forehead, “He has a fever. What should we do?”
Madelyn took quite some time to regain composure, “I–I’ll make the call now.”
Margaret asked, “What about the clothes?”
Madelyn replied, “You can put them on for him.”
Margaret looked hesitant, “Isn’t that inappropriate?! What if he wakes up and accuses me of taking advantage of
him? Ms. Jent, I think you should change them for him! After all, he’s your ex–boyfriend. I’ll go boil some water.”
Margaret immediately walked away. Madelyn had no choice but to wait for her to come back. She tried to dial for
an ambulance on the phone on the coffee table. But the call could not get through after many tries. She then
noticed that there was no signal on the phone. It was likely due to the rain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadelyn was in a dilemma. In the end, she decided to take him upstairs to a room. Madelyn and Margaret, with
great difficulty, finally managed to move him onto the bed. Despite all the disturbance, Ethan did not wake up.
Madelyn looked at Margaret and said, “Margaret, the hot water is ready. Bring me some antipyretic.”
Margaret nodded, “Okay.”
After Margaret left, only Madelyn and Ethan were in the room. She turned up the heating.
Ethan had injuries on his upper body. So, Madelyn did not put a shirt on him. She had to apply medicine to the
injuries. She
was very good at taking care of a sick person.
In her past life, when Zach was drunk or hospitalized due to illness, she had always taken care of him. He would not
allow anyone to get near him other than those close to him. She gradually got used to this over time. To prevent
and be able to deal with different unexpected situations, Madelyn even read many nursing books.
Madelyn used tissues to carefully dry the areas on his body in which the tattoos were removed, which got wet from
the rain. She then applied medicine to those areas to prevent infection.
When she held his hand, she noticed the scar was bleeding. She was very gentle in her movements. She thought,
‘He seemed just fine during dinner last night. Why did he do something like this?‘
Madelyn lowered her eyes. There was little expression on her delicate, attractive face. She just quietly tended to
Ethan’s
