Just then, a phone call interrupted her thoughts.
It was an unknown number. Madelyn did not know who the number belonged to, but she had a faint idea.
For some reason, the unfamiliar string of numbers on the screen had turned into the words "Cecilia Samford." Madelyn gripped the hem of her dress. It was like she had forgotten how to breathe.
She took the call and held the phone by her ear. Five seconds passed, and neither of them spoke. Madelyn could feel her heart pounding, "Hello? This is Madelyn Jent speaking. Who's this?" Madelyn heard the person on the other end of the line snickered. Then, they hung up the phone.

‘Was that Donna Jolie? Didn't she return a long time ago? That day, when Ethan found me after | disappeared, what was that fearful and strange look in his eyes?’ she wondered.
Madelyn squatted down, and her long hair fell over her face. She felt a sense of powerlessness washed over her.
Deep down, Madelyn understood the truth. It was like the incidents in her past life were repeating themselves today.
"Madelyn..." Mya's voice came. She was panting and seemed like she was looking for somebody. Finally, she found the familiar figure she was looking for.
Mya carefully walked over to Madelyn and crouched down in front of her, "Madelyn, are you alright?" She gently stroked Madelyn's back and said, "Are you not feeling well?" Madelyn wiped her eyes and lifted her head, "What are you doing here?" Mya looked at her worriedly, "You didn't seem quite right just now. | was worried about you, so | came." Madelyn smiled and forced a smile, "I'm fine. You should go." "I'll stay with you for a bit,” Mya sat beside Madelyn. Then, she took out a bottle of milk from her pocket, "Have something sweet.
| don't know what happened, but maybe this can cheer you up. | can hold you if you need to cry." "I don't need to cry or a hug, but thank you for the milk. I'm going back to class.” Mya watched Madelyn's retreating figure and looked back down at her fingers.
‘Did | say something wrong?" she wondered guiltily.
After what happened last night, things turned awry between Madelyn and Ethan. He usually texted Madelyn during her break times, but her message inbox was currently empty.
Madelyn switched off her phone to avoid any distractions.

Those from different departments trembled in fear. A few employees who entered Ethan's office had already gotten fired, so no one dared to go inside and ask him to sign some papers.
Leyton returned from running some errands and walked out of the elevator. He had never seen such a commotion outside of Ethan's office.
"What're you all doing gathered at the door?" Everyone rushed over to Leyton and looked at him like they had seen their white knight. One of the secretaries told him what happened.
Leyton nodded, "I understand. Give me the documents. The rest of you can leave." "You really are a lifesaver, Leyton. Thank you." Everyone handed him their documents and ran off.
Leyton opened the office door to see the room in complete disarray.
"Who let you in? Get out!"
