The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming novel Chapter 1003

Cecilia was not a threat to Zach. He was more interested in the person supporting her. Whoever allowed Cecilia to become so brazen merely wanted to take control of Jardin Corporation. He had allowed her to do so just to see how much the person backing her was willing to sacrifice. The current Jardin Corporation was more complex than it seemed, and Cecilia did not have the ability to shoulder all of it.

Zach stared at Madelyn and said, "When will you give me some peace of mind? You never needed to compare yourself to her."

His hand brushed Madelyn's face as he felt the warmth of her body. She continued to sleep. Zach observed her while trying to etch every feature of her face into his mind. Since they received their marriage certificate, Madelyn had never worn her wedding band. She did not want to, and Zach did not force her.

When Madelyn woke up, her throat was hoarse. It was already nighttime, and she had no clue how long she had slept. As her head was spinning, a hand came and held her. Madelyn leaned into the embrace as Zach's cold voice rang, "Why is she not well yet? Isn't she just exhausted?"

Kai replied, "You know she has a terrible immune system. Besides, we're human, not gods. We can't get well just by thinking about it."

Zach could never keep his cool when it came to Madelyn's affairs.

"Water," Madelyn suddenly croaked. Her head was hurting from hearing them argue.

Margaret did not even manage to enjoy her holidays when she had to rush back as soon as she heard Madelyn had fallen ill. Madelyn did not expect to fall sick for so long after staying up late for just one night. She had spent most of her New Year's Eve in deep slumber. Due to Madelyn's sickness, the Jardin Corporation annual dinner was also canceled.

Zach had reached an agreement with SkyNet Technologies, so he would be very busy. He would rarely come and visit her at the hospital.

That evening, Zach was the center of attention at the banquet. The banquet was held to celebrate the collaboration of Jardin Corporation and SkyNet Technologies. Cecilia was by Zach's side, socializing with all the other businesspeople. She sipped her wine and commented, "Thankfully, I was here today. If it were Madelyn, she would've panicked."

Zach stared ahead as he was clearly still not present at the moment. Cecilia chuckled and said, "However, I will apologize for delaying your wedding with her. I hope Madelyn could understand that thirty billion is not a small sum of money."

'I want Madelyn to see her defeat with her own eyes,' Cecilia thought.
