FreeNovelMadelyn switched off the lights, unsure whether Zach had left.
She was worried that he would come in, so she changed into pajama pants and went to the master bedroom next to hers.
As soon as she lay down, the man beside her snuggled up closer and hugged her from behind.
He said lazily into her ear, "Where'd you go?" "I was worried I'd wake you up, so | went back to my room to shower. Go back to sleep," she replied a little absentmindedly.

Madelyn reached out to switch off the bedside lamp, and the entire room went dark. She shut her eyes and forced herself to stop overthinking.
'He wouldn't dare to go against the Arnold family, given his current power. In the future, I'll be Mrs. Arnold. The two of us won't have anything to do with each other. While I'm still afraid of Zach and his threats and tactics, | shouldn't let what happened in the past continue. | can't let him threaten me time and again,’ she thought.
Before Madelyn even realized it, she quickly fell asleep.
The following morning, Madelyn was awoken by the sunlight filtering in.
She stretched and peeked out of her covers. Then, she immediately saw Ethan smiling at her.
"Good morning." "Good morning,” Madelyn replied.
"It's not morning anymore. Shall we get out of bed?" "What time is it?" "It's noon." Madelyn had not expected to have overslept so long.
"What time did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up too?" "Mrs. Amnold-to-be can afford to be lazy and sleep in a little.” He continued, "I'l get out of bed first and get your toothpaste ready. Don't forget to change out of your pajamas.” "Okay," replied Madelyn.
Ethan changed out of his pajamas and handed Madelyn her toothbrush with toothpaste on it. He looked at her reflection in the mirror and noticed her dark eye circles, "Do you want to see a psychiatrist? You kept on talking in your sleep last night." Madelyn paused from brushing her teeth, "What... What did | say?" Ethan hugged her on the waist from behind. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her on the neck.

She quickly gargled and took the towel Ethan handed her. She wiped her mouth and continued, "By the way, is Mya alright? Let's visit her at the hospital later." "If Mya hadn't pushed me away, | would've been the one in the hospital right now," she thought.
"Alright. I'l go with you," said Ethan.
After the incident yesterday, Ethan thought it was too dangerous to let Madelyn go around alone.
Ethan took a day off and personally drove Madelyn to the hospital.
Madelyn had an uneasy look in her eyes when they arrived.
'Of all the hospitals..." she thought.
Leyton walked out of the hospital entrance, "Mr. Arnold. Ms. Jent." Madelyn thought in astonishment, "Leyton's still here at the hospital? Did he spend the entire night here?" They took the elevator that led to the inpatient department as Leyton pressed on a floor button.
"What's the situation?" "It's almost settled. Turns out that homeless man last night was a wanted murderer. He's killed many students over the past six years. He's been lurking at the entrances of various schools and targeting students who were alone.”
