Madelyn picked up her phone and realized it was already 7:30 p.m. Just then, a maid’s voice echoed in
the hallway. “Sir, are you heading out?”
Madelyn was distracted by the maid’s words and opened the door to see Zach impeccably dressed in a
black suit, preparing to leave.
‘It’s unusual for him to go out at this time. Something must have come up.’ Madelyn thought to herself.
Curious, Madelyn asked, “Where are you rushing off to this late?”
Zach turned to Madelyn and replied, “Just some business matters. I’ll be back soon.”
Madelyn watched Zach descend the stairs without revealing her emotions.
She felt a sudden unease minutes after hearing the car drive away. She recalled overhearing the phone
call from Frida earlier in the afternoon.
‘Is Zach going to meet her?’ Madelyn wondered.
Madelyn rushed downstairs and intended to tail Zach. She wanted to find out what Zach was up to.
The maid stopped Madelyn, “Madam, it’s late, and Mr. Jardin said that you shouldn’t go out.”
Madelyn had just put on her shoes and was about to leave when lightning suddenly flashed through the
dark sky.
At the doorway, she noticed the black car was gone without a trace. She looked at the sky and felt the
rain was on its way as the thunder echoed.
Then, Madelyn heard Dalton’s cries from upstairs. She stood at the entrance, unsure what to do next. The
rain began to hit her, wetting her elegant face.
A maid quickly shielded Madelyn with an umbrella and said, “Madam, please come back inside. The rain’s heavy, and Dalton is crying. If you catch a cold, Mr. Jardin won’t be happy with us.”
Madelyn returned inside just as the rain intensified. The maid was relieved that Madelyn had not been
drenched by the rain.
Back in the second-floor study, Madelyn found some peace from the thunderclaps. Margaret handed her the crying Dalton and said, “Madam, he’s been crying for a while.”
Madelyn held Dalton in her arms and instructed Margaret, “Prepare some warm milk.”

Once alone, Madelyn picked up an old-fashioned landline phone and dialed a number.
At SereneCare Hospital, Kai had just finished performing a surgery and returned to the maternity ward to care for Lana, feeding her porridge.
Lana’s gaze toward Kai was a mix of familiarity and strangeness, different from the man in her dreams. Each time she was about to see him clearly, she would suddenly wake up, feeling a deep pain in her heart.
The nurse reassured Kai, “Don’t worry, Dr. Stewart. I’ll take good care of your wife.”
Kai felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He stood up and said, “I need to take this call.”
