"Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?" Madelyn dug her fingernails into her palm. "Get out!" she said.
"Your face..." "| said, get out!" After the meeting, Zach did not go straight to the hotel. Instead, he went for dinner at a restaurant with Cecilia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBased on the calendar, Valentine's Day was every fourteenth of the month.
An attendant brought over a stalk of red rose and placed it in front of the two.
Zach took a sip of wine and said, "You went to see her at the hospital today?" Cecilia sliced into her steak, tasting a piece. Glancing at Zach, she said, "Are you worried about what | might've done to her?" She smirked. "You know me. | only react when provoked. She crossed a line, so | set her straight. She'll be okay. Just soothe her for a bit." Zach's gaze turned icy. "You hit her?" "Mhm," Cecilia did not deny it. She continued, "Part of it's personal. In another life, she tore us apart. What | did? That's going easy on her." Zach signaled the violinist to stop playing. He tipped the violinist and put his wallet back into his pocket.
"I've made my rules clear. Didn't | tell you to stay away from her for now? Did you think | was joking?" Cecilia laughed, "Zach, we're on the same side. At the end of the day, Madelyn's merely an outsider.” "But that isn't enough of a reason for you to lay your hands on her," Zach said as he wiped his mouth with a napkin. He stood up and continued, "This is your final warning. Next time, I'll get even with you on her behalf." Seeing him leaving, she stood up with her hands on the table, "I gave you everything you have right now... Stand right there!" Zach left without looking back. Meanwhile, Cecilia continued screaming behind him, breaking the initial silence in the restaurant.
In the end, Cecilia lost it and flipped the table in front of her.
The two stalks of roses lay among the shattered ceramic pieces.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZach returned to the hospital at eight-thirty. When he arrived, Madelyn had just finished her checkup. She coldly glanced at the person at the door and continued speaking to the doctor.
After the doctor left, the room quickly fell into silence.
"Someone gave you a hard time?" he asked as he sat down. He reached out to touch the slap mark on her cheek and felt his heart clench.
"It's worse than | had imagined,’ he thought.
Madelyn slapped away his hand. She said with a gaze that was as icy as ever, "That slap was nothing compared to the ones I've experienced in the past. If you're here to apologize on her behalf, there's no need for you to put on an act. She and you are the same kind of people.” She continued, "If I had known I'd be given a hard time here, | would've stayed by Ethan's side. He would never let me get hurt." Madelyn knew she was saying all of this out of anger.
Zach's gaze turned dark. "What do you want then?"
