Zach said in a calm voice, "Kevin, I'm thinking about the future, not just now. | made this decision for a reason. Just do as | say." He took a letter from his drawer and placed it in front of Kevin. "There's something more important you need to handle.” "What's this?!" Kevin opened the letter and looked shocked. "A company registration application?" "Yeah," Zach answered, "If | hang onto Azure Corporation, Ethan Arnold will continue to target me, and it'll go under. Since there's already trouble, we might as well start over. Find the folks who left Azure and ask them to come back. If they do, they'll get a bump in their paycheck.” Kevin thought for a moment and then asked, "How are we gonna pay for all this?" "I've got that covered. Just get started.” "Okay." Turns out, Zach had some money from Randall to kick off a new Azure Corporation.
He had been stressing out. What if Azure Corporation went down with him in charge? He knew Madelyn would be heartbroken and blamed him. Plus, he didn't want to put any pressure on her, except maybe for them to get closer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, Zach had a clear goal. There were things he couldn't do himself.
When Kevin was on his way leaving the Jent residence, he ran into Madelyn, who was just about to go upstairs.
Madelyn walked past Kevin without even noticing him. She went back to her room with a glass of water. Hayson was asleep. She started reading a book about taking care of people who had a stroke.
With how things were going, Madelyn thought she might not be able to go back to Paris for a while.
She couldn't just leave things as they were. The next time she came back, Hayson, her only family, might not be around anymore. She thought to herself, ‘Father's the only family | have left... If he's gone, then I'll be all alone, like a child with no parents.’ Kennedy heard from Leonardo that she had returned to Venturia, so he sent her a message.
Kennedy: [I know a doctor who treats patients like this. Do you want him to check?] Madelyn: [Yes, thank you.] Kennedy: [No problem.] Just as Madelyn was about to put her phone away, it rang. It was Ethan. She guessed he probably knew she was back.

Before she could say anything, a child's voice came through, "Daddy, Mommy took me to get a shot again today. Can you blow on it? It won't hurt if you do." "Robin, it's time for your medicine," Donna's voice said.
"Don't run off!" Ethan's voice sounded worried and annoyed.
Just hearing Ethan's voice made Madelyn's heart race. A deep ache spread throughout her, from her chest to her fingertips.
Suddenly, her grip loosened, and the phone dropped, hitting the ground.
