Chapter 752
That was Madelyn’s first time talking back to Jasmine.
“Crack!” Suddenly, a resounding crack came from the kitchen. The maid, busy working in the kitchen, trembled and
dropped a bowl to the ground upon hearing what Madelyn said.
It was bizarre. One of them was someone with whom Zach had an ambiguous relationship; the other was his
current wife. Madelyn had become one of the many women in Zach’s life.
Madelyn’s face was pale as she coughed a few times. She looked weak and drained. She had just returned from the
hospital, so Zach did not force her. Instead, he lovingly served her a bowl of creamy potato soup and had the maid
bring it to her.
“Your body is still recovering. It’s better for you to eat something light for now.”
“Thank you.”

began coughing violently, causing her wound to hurt.
Zach stared at her, furrowing his brows, an expression he would always put on before flipping out. Madelyn could
not be sure if she were overthinking it, but she felt like Zach’s eyes revealed a hint of concern for her.
However, the thought quickly disappeared from her mind. She knew that Zach was not someone who would feel for
anyone.
Madelyn had long been used to how Zach was. Besides, so many people were at the table. She figured that Zach
would not do anything to her.
She drank some water to soothe her throat. However, no one at the table was eating comfortably.
Yvonne sat in the empty seat next to Zach and put some food on his plate without saying anything. She looked and
acted exactly like a lady of the house would.
Most people would not have handled the situation as gracefully and thoughtfully as Yvonne.
Everyone at the table had different motives, making the dinner tense. After the meal, Jasmine went upstairs to get
Madelyn and Yvonne each a set of gold jewelry.
“We just came back and didn’t have much time to prepare, so we had someone customize these jewelry sets.
They’re not that expensive, but I hope you’ll accept them.”
Both sets of jewelry were identical.
There was a mysterious, and imperceptible smile on Jasmine’s face as she gazed at Madelyn. Then, she handed
one of them to Yvonne first.
“Thank you, Mom,” Yvonne spoke.
The smile on Jasmine’s face turned somewhat stiff, “… We’re family. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Jasmine turned to look at Madelyn, “Madelyn, this is for you.”
Madelyn noticed the golden bangle Jasmine was wearing as she handed the jewelry set to her.
However, she refused, “I don’t go out much, so it’d be a waste for me to have them.

Jasmine adjusted her scarf, sat down gracefully, and lifted the cup of rose tea prepared by the maid, “He can hear
but can’t speak. We plan to treat your father now that we’re back, and we’ve visited a lot of hospitals. However, the
doctor said they couldn’t find anything wrong with him and could do nothing.
“We’ve spent plenty of money in these few years.”
“Okay, I got it. I’ll go talk to Father now.”
Zach had just finished his call and happened to come over. He reached out to grab Madelyn, but she evaded him
and walked right past him.
The bodyguard helped Hayson onto the bed. Then, the maid tucked him in and placed the oxygen mask back on his
face. As they left, Madelyn quickly went to the study and took the photo she had hidden there earlier. However, she
could not find the diary Kai had mentioned to her.
She sat at the edge of the bed and placed the old photograph in front of Hayson, “Father, do you know who the
person in this photo is?”
