“And what else?”

“W–What else could there possibly be?” Madelyn blinkel up at him, her eyes wide and innocent, reminiscent of a small, harmless rabbit caught in the headlights.

Sebastian’s frustration boiled over immediately. “Madelyn, you’ve really got some nerve, stepping in front

you have of a knife like that! What’s next? Are you planning to thow yourself in front of a train next? Do some sort of death wish?” His voice was laden with incredulity and alarm.

Did she even grasp the gravity of the situation?

To Sebastian, whether she had informed him about the incident was secondary. What truly mattered, and what he found utterly unacceptable, was that she had sustained an injury. The very thought of her hurt was something he couldn’t stomach.

She took a bullet for me last time, and now she stepped in to take a knife for her dad. What will she do next? Does she think she’s made out of iron?

The anger evident on Sebastian’s face made Madelyn shrink back, a mix of fear and frustration bubbling inside her. In that moment when Zachary had aimed the fruit knife at Derek’s heart, if she hadn’t acted, the outcome would have been disastrous.

Madelyn, who had already endured the loss of her mother, couldn’t bear the thought of losing her father

With these thoughts swirling in her head, she couldn’t help but defend her actions, albeit softly. “Wasn’t it a critical situation then? I did it to save Dad. I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing….

“Dare you talk back to me?” Sebastian’s frown deepened, his anger simmering just below the surface, and he looked as though he might spank her again.

Madelyn quickly backtracked, admitting her fault in a rush. “No, I was wrong, Sebastian, truly… Can you possibly forgive me this time, considering I’m injured? Please?” Her voice took on a sweet, coaxing tone, and her large, watery eyes looked up at him, filled with plea for understanding.

“Sebastian, I really do see my mistake. Can you please not be angry anymore? I promise, next time I’ll let you know in advance, and I’ll make sure I’m safe,” she pleaded.

“You want there to be a next time?” Sebastian was nearly at his wits‘ end, frustration evident in his voice.

Quickly correcting herself, Madelyn responded, “No, of course not, I wouldn’t dare. There won’t be a next time!

Sebastian let out a cold huff, his mood slightly assuaged
