Chapter 339

Back in high school, Madeline had some stomach issues.

She didn't eat much to begin with, and during her 12th Grade, it got worse. As spring came and temperatures rose, so did her discomfort.

Once, Helena secretly visited her, bringing a box of cranberries from back home. It was just a simple container without any labels, something a street vendor might use. Inside, there were a few cranberry leaves-a quirky habit of the seller. During those tough nights of late-night studying, Madeline would eat a cranberry. The tartness mixed with a hint of sweetness made her mouth water. It actually helped soothe her stomach.

Madeline picked up the cranberries, opened the box, and fingered a small twig. "This must be from a cranberry bush. They're fresh-probably just picked."

She held up a bright red cranberry, firm and slightly rough to touch. "Cranberries are both tart and sweet, much like life itself. I love that flavor; it makes me think life is just like this." Lucas scratched his head. "You like cranberries? Maybe I should plant you a cranberry bush?"

Madeline gave him a long look. "Thanks, but no need." She took Henry's gift and left.

Lucas's assistant followed them, muttering, "Man, you're really too blunt. Madeline talks about life, and you're chatting about bushes..."

Lucas turned back with a glare. "Excuse me? Didn't you notice Maddie has a new assistant? Want to be replaced too?"

"Nope!" The assistant quickly shook his head.

Watching Madeline walk away, Lucas mused aloud, "Maddie likes cranberries... we could brainstorm: cranberry candy, cranberry tarts, cranberry bread..." Ideas began to flow freely.
