The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 113

Ever since getting hurt, Jadie had moved out of school and had been resting at home.

Today, Zach had a rare day off, so she had persuaded him to venture out and pay a visit to Madelyn in the hospital. Jadie felt like if she were to stay cooped up at home any longer, she would go crazy.

They had not visited Madelyn often during this time; it was mostly Rosario who came by. They even had Rosario whip up a bunch of dishes to bring to the hospital. After being taken care of by Rosario for these past few months, Jadie’s originally slim face had gained some baby fat.

For this outing, Jadie had made an effort to dress up, choosing to leave her plain face free of makeup. Her hair was done in braided pigtails, resting on her shoulders, and she wore a light- colored knee-length skirt. Walking beside Zach, they did not look like a couple, more like an uncle and his niece. As the pair approached the hospital room, they noticed an unfamiliar face inside. Jadie almost felt like they had entered the wrong room until they spotted Madelyn outside on the balcony.

Madelyn, catching sight of Zach and Jadie at the door, felt a flash of panic but tried to retain a calm tone as she continued speaking on the phone. “Sure, if you like it, I can make an extra portion of pastry for you from now on. You can message me if there’s anything you can’t eat.

“As long as you make it, I’ll like it.
