Chapter 141

Brian reached out to steady her, “Maybe we should swing by the hospital for an X-ray, you took a pretty hard

fall.”

“It's fine,” Madelyn gently pushed away Brian's hand, shaking her head slightly as she replied in a soft voice,

“I'm okay, | know my body well.”

Brian followed her into the elevator and walked her to her door.

Standing in front of the door, Madelyn’s hands trembled as she tried to punch in the code, taking an eternity to

press each button.

“Letdo it.” Brian sighed quietly, stepping forward.

“It's the sas at your place.” Madelyn said, stepping aside, her gaze lowered, her voice a whisper.

Brian glanced at her, but Madelyn just stared blankly at the door as if her soul had left her body. Brian helped her

open the door, but Madelyn simply stood frozen in place.

“Madelyn,” Brian called her nsoftly.

“Oh...” Madelyn looked up, offering a somewhat awkward smile.

Her purse seemed to weigh a ton, her steps unsteady as she walked past Brian and through the door.

Brian frowned, watching as Madelyn went inside.

“I'll let you know as soon as there's any news,” he said after a moment of silence, his voice low. “Okay,” Madelyn

nodded, walking slowly toward her room.

Brian could tell something was off with Madelyn’s mood, but with the results still pending, there shouldn't be any

major issues in the next forty-eight hours.

He withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and closed the door.

The moment it shut, a muffled thud of something heavy falling to the ground cfrom inside.

Brian paused, then quickly reopened the door and rushed in.

Natalie got up in the morning and sat on the toilet, surveying Brian's bathroom carefully.

On the sink counter lay a towel, an electric toothbrush, an electric shaver, and a mouthwash cup. Below, a pair

of men’s shower slippers and a pair of miniature ones, all in shades of grey. His room held no trace of a woman's

belongings.

She turned and opened the cabwhere the tissues were stored, finding only unopened packs. of tissues and

no feminine products.”

Even if Madelyn had left, she couldn’t have cleaned up so thoroughly as if she'd never been there, could she?

Hadn't they been sleeping in the sroom?

Natalie frowned, puzzled. She stood up, searching for a spare toothbrush and mouthwash cup she could use but

found none.

“Natalie, are you awake?” Sadle suddenly called from outside the door.

Natalie turned to open it, only to find Sadle holding a sleepy Nate who grinned toothily at her.

Nate had insisted on seeing Natalie as soon as he heard she was there, hardly awake but now content knowing

he wasn’t dreaming.

Sadie brought over a new toothbrush and towel, and she cheerfully arranged their toiletries in the bathroom.

The sun shone on the neatly placed wash items. Looking at the family’s things all together, Sadie felt a warm

happiness for them.

Despite Natalie and Brian's argument the previous night, it seemed the quarrel may have cleared the tension,

and they had reconciled.

Natalie fetched a small stool for Nate, so he could stand on it and brush his teeth alongside

her.

Mid-brush, Nate leaned over and pecked Natalie on the corner of her mouth, causing her to

start in surprise.

“Mine tastes like oranges, and yours is peachy,” Nate giggled, pointing to the frothy toothpaste in his mouth.

Natalie's toothpaste was sweet and fragrant.

Nate had dreamed of that sscent last night. To his delight, it had beca reality first thing in the morning!
