Chapter 760 Margaret stepped back and gestured aimlessly, “Oh my gosh! Ms. Jent, I've got to say, this child really looks like you and Mr.
Jardin. Look at his eyes, nose, and mouth. It's like a combination of both of you!” ‘A combination?’ Madelyn lowered her gaze and forced a smile, pretending not to care, “I'm no longer able to conceive. If this child does happen to resemble me, it’s probably just a coincidence.” From the beginning, Madelyn was also skeptical. But as time passed, this child, who was initially malnourished and skinny, had become plump and healthy. When she watched him at night, there was a voice in her heart telling her, ‘Look at how much this child looks like you. He's your child.” Madelyn knew very well that she could not get pregnant in this lifetime. Besides, she had never had a child. So, the fact that this child looked like she and Zach were nothing more than a coincidence. There was a chance for people to look similar, even without any blood relation. Perhaps this child was a gift from God, intentionally sent to be with her.

Ding! Margaret immediately noticed the item in his hand, ‘I-It's so thick.’ “Let Margaret feed him the medicine. Come and have dinner now,” Zach said as he walked over, dressed in comfortable pajamas with half-dried hair, handing over the pouch.
Margaret hesitated to take it, “Mr. Jardin, the salary for this month has already been paid!” Although she said that, her eyes remained fixed without leaving.
Zach replied, “It's a bonus.” Margaret immediately snatched it, “Oh my goodness! Thank you, Mr. Jardin! You're such a kind person. May you enjoy good health and safety throughout your long life.” Her eyes were like a ruler. She could tell how much money was in the pouch with a glance and touch. Her eyes sparkled even more. In the end, she was so joyous that words could not describe it. Her inner delight left her almost speechless, ‘F-Fifty thousand?’ Zach had heard many comments from the outside world about him, which usually described him as ruthless and willing to do anything. Some even use worse words to describe him.
‘Praising me as a kind person? That's a idea!” Zach thought.
Margaret took the substantial sum of her bonus. Without saying a word, she took the bowl from Madelyn’s hand, cradled the child in her other arm, and said, “Ms. Jent, I'll take care of feeding the medicine. You and Mr. Jardin go ahead and eat.” “Wait...” Madelyn wanted to say something more, but Margaret had already run off with the child.

Madelyn asked, “How much did you give her?” Zach smiled, “Just a little. Fifty thousand dollars.
“I'll pay you back later.” Zach looked at her, “No need to rush for it now.” Madelyn gave him a stern look, thinking, ‘Why does he always think about this stuff? Such a small amount wouldn't mean much to him. He's not lacking in wealth these days.’ Sitting next to him, Madelyn sipped the chicken soup he handed her and asked, “Zach... Can | visit my father tomorrow?” “Okay,” Zach replied. As long as she was obedient, there was nothing that he could not satisfy her with.
After dinner, Madelyn returned to her room. As soon as she walked in, she noticed a bottle of red wine worth seven figures on the side table and a sheer nightgown neatly arranged on the bed. She sensed what it meant, but it was already too late when she tried to turn and run.
