The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 101

On the bed, Madelyn suddenly whimpered.

Zach, who was sitting by the bedside, touched her face. He thought, ‘It’s been three months since we last met. You’ve lost some weight.’

The next morning, sunlight shone through the windows.

Madelyn’s throat was parched and sore. She slowly regained consciousness and smelled the pungent odor of disinfectant. She stared at the yellowed ceiling above her, dazed.

She wondered, ‘Am I dead?’

Her memory lapsed for a moment, but she soon remembered what happened last night. She gently moved her fingers which were a little cold. As she looked at the IV drip by the bedside, she realized she was still alive.

“Mr. Jardin, the meeting at the company has been postponed. Mr. Jent asked when you’ll be able to go back. Also, the road on the elevated highway has been repaired.”

“We’ll go back as soon as Madelyn wakes up. Have they caught those people?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“They were just a few local hooligans. This area’s largely unregulated, that’s why they dared to act so recklessly. I’ve contacted several government officials and instructed them to strengthen the law enforcement around here. Those who escaped last night have been caught. How should we deal with them?”

“Where are they now?”

“They’re outside.”

The conversation outside stopped abruptly. Madelyn quickly closed her eyes when she heard the door being pushed open.

Zach glanced at Madelyn before he turned around and left.

Near the clinic’s entrance, a dozen luxury cars worth a few hundred thousand dollars each. were parked, all of which the locals had never seen.

They had never witnessed such a grand scene, and they had no idea what was happening. Many people gathered around to watch.

The clinic was cordoned off and the public was barred from entering. As it was the only clinic in Portsmouth Fishing Village, those who were stopped at the entrance began chattering.

“What kind of cars are these? They probably cost tens of thousands each!”

“I think they’re worth even more than that. I’ve seen these cars on the television before.”

“What happened?! My wife needs to collect her medicine!”

Five people were brought down from a van. They were all tied up with their heads covered in black hoods and their mouths all sealed with tape.

Someone immediately recognized one of them and cried out.

“Oh no, isn’t that Shelley’s son? What’s he gotten himself into…”

“He must’ve gotten involved with the underworld mafia. I can tell these people are no good.. The five of them are in big trouble now.”

Kevin followed behind Zach and walked out of the clinic. The five people were kicked by the bodyguards behind them and fell to their knees.

Zach stood on the doorstep, exuding an intimidating aura. He waved his hand, and the tapes. covering Rogan’s and the others’ mouths were torn off.

Their eyes were filled with fear as they desperately asked for forgiveness from Zach.

One of them desperately said, “Boss, this has nothing to do with us. It was Rogan’s idea, he’s the one behind it all. He’s been interested in that girl for a long time, and we didn’t even touch her.” The rest of them started pushing the blame on Rogan too.

“Bullshit! When I made my move on her, all of you wanted to join in. Now you guys are trying. to pin everything on me? You bunch of assholes!” Rogan snapped at them in disgust.

Zach’s gaze was cold as he looked down at them with a ruthless expression.

He stretched his hand out and one of his men nearby handed him a baton.

Kevin stepped forward, “Mr. Jardin, these hooligans aren’t important enough for you to bother with personally. Why don’t we let the police handle them instead?”

He thought, ‘If things get out of hand and this ends up affecting the company’s reputation, we’ll have to answer to Mr. Jent.’

“Are you telling me what to do?” Zach glanced at him.
