Chapter 7 Her name hit him like a bolt of lightning . Jettson's face went dark right away , and he shouted uncontrollably , " No way ! It can't be happening ! " He thought , " There are tons of people with the same name out there . This has to be just a coincidence ! " Jettson rushed home like he was on fire . He knocked softly on the utility room door , his voice softening . " Madilynn , I know you're still mad at me for leaving you in that tunnel a few days ago . " Missy needed help urgently back then . I didn't have any other choice . You get that , right ?
" I promise I'll never leave you behind again . Can you forgive me ? " You used to bug me about doing 100 things together . Once your heart transplant goes well , I'll stick by your side . We'll check off each thing as we go along , deal ? " Jettson kept talking and talking , but there was no answer from behind the door . Still , Madilynn had always cared about him deeply . In the past , all he had to do was lower his head a bit and give her even the slightest chance to back down , and she would instantly soften up and forgive him . But now , he couldn't hold it in anymore .
He kicked the door open with one foot . But the room was empty - only her phone was left behind . Panicking , he called his assistant . " Go and check where my wife has been for the last few days ! " The assistant gave a careless chuckle . " Mr. Ackrigg , haven't you been at the hospital with her this whole time ? " It hit him only after that reminder how long he'd ignored Madilynn . To everyone else , it seemed like Madilynn didn't matter at all . Jettson shouted in frustration , " I'm talking about Madilynn !

" Madilynn ? You're back ? " When he saw who had shown up , the light in his eyes just went out right away . Maria walked in with some herbal supplements , looking a bit puzzled . " What's going on with Madilynn ? " " What do you mean ? Isn't Madilynn at home ? Why is she throwing such a tantrum and staying out all night ? " She handed the gift basket to Lillian .
" I brought some high - quality herbal supplements to make chicken soup . Missy really needs it after her surgery . " But then , out of nowhere , there was this loud crash from the kitchen . Lillian's hand shook , and before she knew it , hot chicken soup spilled all over the floor . Suddenly , a memory hit her . That night , Madilynn got punished and wasn't allowed to eat . She remembered seeing Madilynn curled up in the corner of the kitchen . The poor girl was coughing so hard it looked like she might break apart , and bright red blood splattered into that cold sink .
Ever since Madilynn left , Lillian couldn't shake off those nightmares every single night . In her dreams , that skinny figure always showed up covered in blood , screaming at her , " Why ... why do you treat me like this too ... " Maria stepped forward and snapped , " Lillian , what's wrong with you ? You're so clumsy ! " Do you have any idea how pricey these herbal supplements are ? It's something you couldn't buy even if you saved your salary for ten years ! Be more careful . If Missy can't get the chicken soup , I'll cut your pay ! " And make sure to save some for Madilynn , too .
She's having surgery in a couple of days . She needs to take care of herself . " Lillian opened her mouth but couldn't find the words . She bent down and hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the floor Staying busy was the only way to push thoughts of Madilynn aside . 40.90 % 08:28 Chapter 7 288 Vouchers Then suddenly , the assistant stumbled in , his voice shaking . " Mr. Ackrigg , bad news ! Mrs. Ackrigg passed away three days ago ! " The chicken soup Maria had just served crashed to the ground with a loud clang , and hot broth splattered everywhere from the thermos .
She didn't even feel the burns . It was like all her focus went straight to grabbing the assistant and shaking him hard . " What are you talking about ? Say that again ! " 89.02 %
