Love’ss 5
Chapter 5
Madelyn sat on the couch for a long while with her phone in her hand, but her didn’t subside. She had wanted to cook lunch for Andrew but wasn’t in the mood
anymore.

Andrew’s meeting went on until 12:30 pm. Suddenly, Rowan hurried downstairs and barked, “Get Dr. Patel here!”
Madelyn stared at him. A doctor? Was something wrong with Andrew’s wound? Her mind went blank, but her body reacted instantly. She shot to her feet and ran upstairs.
Rowan frowned as he watched her run off. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Was that alarm he had seen in her eyes? How could that be? Madelyn wanted nothing
more than to kill Andrew.
Madelyn barged into the study to see Andrew in his seat, looking pale. She ran to him and crouched before him. “Is the wound bleeding again?”
She reached to unbutton his shirt. He gave her an unfathomable look and grabbed her hands. She looked up to meet his icy gaze. Ignoring it, she tried to pull away. “Let me see what’s wrong, darling.”
Andrew only tightened his grip. He showed no intention of letting her go, which only made her anxiety grow. Fortunately, Rowan soon arrived with a doctor. It was Ivan Patel, whom Andrew trusted with his life.
Ivan hurried forward to check on Andrew when he saw how pale he was. Madelyn was inadvertently pushed away, but she wasn’t bothered. She stood up and moved aside while watching nervously.
Ivan checked Andrew’s wound. “It’s been infected.”
Madelyn and Rowan asked in unison, “But how?”
Ivan looked grim. He didn’t bother answering them and instead started tending to Andrew’s wound. Madelyn’s heart ached when she saw the sweat beading Andrew’s forehead.
The wound was so severely infected that he needed an IV drip. Ivan didn’t leave immediately after wrapping everything up. He stayed to check on the discarded dressing and pus. Then, he gave Madelyn a deathly glare.
She was confused and had an ominous feeling. Rowan stepped forward and subconsciously glanced at her. “What exactly happened?”
Chapter 5
Seeing them like that, Andrew looked at Madelyn as well. She frowned, not
understanding what this meant. Ivan turned to Andrew, saying, “Someone’s
tampered with this medication. It’s good that we discovered this in time. Otherwise, your life would’ve been in danger.”
So, the mastermind wanted to kill Andrew?
Madelyn sucked in a breath, instantly understanding what the men’s looks meant. Rowan gritted his teeth as he glared at her.
“It wasn’t me!” She turned to Andrew and blurted without thinking. Then, she
stiffened.
She recalled how Andrew had spent a month in the hospital in her previous life. It wasn’t solely because of the severity of his injuries; it was also because someone. had tampered with his medication.
Madelyn was the one who had done it then. She switched out the medication after listening to Elena, who told her the maids would immediately search for a first aid kit upon learning that Andrew was injured. It happened so long ago that Madelyn had forgotten about it.
“Darling, I…” Her mind was blank as she stared at Andrew. She wanted nothing more than to slap herself.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
‘Please leave, Mrs. Miller.” Rowan couldn’t suppress his rage anymore. He rudely asked Madelyn to leave the room.
Her gaze was still fixed on Andrew. When she saw his eyes turning colder, she blabbered anxiously, “How about I take you back to the room so that you can rest?”
This was all her fault. She deserved to die! Still, she knew better than anyone that she was truly doomed if she couldn’t explain this.
Seeing that Madelyn refused to leave, Rowan stepped forward to physically eject her
from the room.
“Rowan, step out,” Andrew commanded coldly.
Rowan turned around, trying hard to suppress his anger. He growled, “She tried to kill you, Mr. Miller!”
“Get out. Ivan, you can return for now.”
Ivan glanced at Madelyn and gave her a deadly look with Andrew watching. Then, he and Rowan left, leaving Madelyn and Andrew alone.
Madelyn approached Andrew as tears streamed down her face. “I’m sorry, darling. I
didn’t mean for this to happen. 1 swear!”
She slapped herself as she spoke. If she had remembered that he had spent a month in the hospital in her past life, she wouldn’t have forgotten the cause!
Andrew’s iciness melted a little when he saw how agitated she was. However, his tone remained cold as he said, “First, you stabbed me. Then, you tampered with my medication. Do you hate me that much?”
Was she trying to take his life since she couldn’t leave him? Didn’t she care about the years they had spent together? Was she really going to give all of this up for Easton’s sake?
Madelyn fell to her knees before him when she heard his words. She wrapped her arms around his legs and burst into tears. “No, it’s not like that! Forget about this, darling. I know I’ve made a mistake!”
She was relieved Ivan had noticed this. Otherwise, Andrew would’ve died. Terror filled her eyes as she thought of this.
Andrew exuded murderous intent. “Are you that desperate to leave me?”
“No, no, no! I’m not going anywhere! I won’t leave you!” Madelyn held him tighter, afraid he would kick her aside.
Silence descended upon the room, leaving only the sound of their breathing and Madelyn’s sobs. Andrew’s gaze remained sharp and dark–it was as if he wanted his gaze to pierce her.
The silence in the room ensued for so long that it was smothering. After ages, Andrew said dangerously, “This is your only chance, Madelyn.”
She was just acting, wasn’t she? Suddenly, he felt like he didn’t want to play along. anymore. He wanted to force her to rip off her mask.
To his surprise, she cried, “No, I don’t want any chances! I just want to stay by your side!”
Andrew fell silent. Was she refusing to leave despite him giving her such a good chance? So, she wasn’t acting?
Madelyn held his legs tightly. She had been desperate to hear him say those words in her past life. Now, however, she didn’t want any of that. She would remain by his side, even if she had to go through hell with him.
Andrew, gripped her jaw, making her look into his eyes. When she saw the ice in his gaze, she knew this meant he had temporarily forgiven her even if he didn’t believe her.
Changers
He kissed her hard: “You’re the one who gave up your chance, Madelyn. If you event think about leaving in the future, I’ll break your legs.”
His tone was gentle, but his words were harsh and fierce. They made Madelyn
tremble.
Andrew’s breathing hitched at that. In the next second, she wrapped her arms. around his neck. The action burned through his rationality. He was about to pin her underneath him when she carefully pressed his head to her chest. “I’m still sore, darling.”
His mind buzzed, and he single–handedly carried her onto his desk. Seeing that he was about to lose control again, she hurriedly jumped off the desk and backed away. She trembled as she met his beast–like gaze. “I’ll go see what’s cooking in the kitchen.
After that, she fled. Her life would be in danger if she were to remain in the room!
Once she left the study, her expression turned ugly. She called Elena, who soon answered. Elena sounded a little angry as she asked, “What do you want?”
“I want to see you.” Madelyn couldn’t suppress her anger anymore.
Elena fell silent. She felt Madelyn was a fool. Even though she didn’t know why Madelyn had suddenly changed, she knew Madelyn needed her ideas if she wanted to leave Andrew. That was why she was sure Madelyn would call her.
“I’m not free now.” Elena wanted to leave Madelyn hanging after the humiliation she had suffered today. That would teach Madelyn not to defy her in the future!
“Andrew wants to see you.” If not because Madelyn was worried about Andrew’s wound, she would’ve charged over to the Garcia residence right then and there.
Elena threw her pride and arrogance aside as soon as she heard that. She said, “I’ll be right there.”
