Chapter 88

Not far away, Madeline suddenly turned around and shouted, "Caleb, deal with it as you see fit, but just avoid any extreme measures. Madeline didn't want Benjamin to meet his end that way.

Sometimes, being ruthless wasn't necessary, and letting him live might be the ultimate form of revenge.

Benjamin believed he had managed to evade the situation. Yet, as he stood up, a group of burly men began approaching him.

Benjamin's voice quivered as he spoke. "Don't come any closer! I'm-"

Those muscular men sneered. "Your identity doesn't matter to us. Crossing our boss means that even if you were the president, you'll be stripped to the bone today!" The doctor was already present when Madeline returned to the living room.

Hazel brought a small blanket for Madeline and gently covered her legs. "Doctor, could you please check Ms. Larson's body temperature? Her forehead feels extremely hot."

While speaking, Hazel sighed softly. She had already changed the blanket in Madeline's room to a thicker one, but the weather in Acocester was so unpredictable.

He then prescribed medication for treating the cold and fever. Take this medicine three times a day. Make sure to stay warm, and drink plenty of hot fluids." Hazel collected the prescribed medicine and Ped to fetch hot water from the kitchen.

Caleb had been observing from a distance and approached only after the others had departed

Gazing at the ailing Madeline, his heart aching, Caleb didn't say anything for a moment. Then, he softly inquired, "Do you want to take a day off on Monday?"

"No need. It's just a cold. It's only Saturday, so who knows, I might recover by tomorrow, Madeline replied softly. She pressed her hand against her forehead, leaned back against the couch, and didn't seem overly concerned.
