Reborn to My Engagement Night

Chapter 67 Pretending To Be Virtuous

Finished

The next day, the weather was clear. Sunlight streamed into the room, lighting up the entire space. Madelyn woke up in a daze, her eyes slightly hurting. Shortly after, a wave of headache washed over her. What happened? Why does my head hurt so much?

At that moment, Lydia happened to push open the door. Seeing that Madelyn was awake, she felt a touch of joy.

“Mrs. Lockhart, you’re finally awake.”

Madelyn looked somewhat clueless. “What’s happened to me?”

Lydia stepped forward, reaching out to feel Madelyn’s forehead. Then, she exhaled in relief. “It’s good that the fever has subsided.”

“I have a fever?” Madelyn was completely oblivious to it.

Lydia nodded and said, “Last night, you had a slight fever. Mr. Lockhart got up in the middle of the night to find some medicine and took care of you all night.”

“Really?”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn suddenly felt a surge of joy.

Last night, she was in a daze, barely recalling that Sebastian seemed to have come by before she fell asleep. Everything that happened afterward drew a blank from her.

“Of course. I’ve worked for Mr. Lockhart for many years, yet I’ve never seen him so concerned about anyone before. But last night, it was clear that he was genuinely worried about you.”

Lydia spoke truthfully.

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn was filled with immense joy.

No matter how aloof Sebastian might seem on the surface, deep down, he still cares a great deal about me.

Following that, Lydia asked with concern, “Mrs. Lockhart, even though your fever has subsided, you still look a little pale. Do you feel unwell?”

“It’s all good. I’m fine.” Madelyn was in high spirits, gleefully shaking her head.

Lydia then asked, “What would you like to eat? I’ll go downstairs and make it for you.”

However, Madelyn was all smiles as she shook her head. “I’m not picky about food. Where’s Sebastian?”

“Oh, Mr. Lockhart left for the office early this morning.”

“He did?” Madelyn’s tone held a hint of disappointment.
