The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 443
Zach forced Madelyn into the chair and took a bite with the fork “See? There’s no poison.”
Madelyn could not understand his actions. ‘Isn’t he eager for my demise? Why’s he bothering with my well-being now? He took
away my snacks but served me a meal. He’s never done these things.’
Perhaps due to excessive hunger, Madelyn had no appetite at all. Her stomach churned, and she felt a wave of nausea and was
about to throw up. Madelyn clutched her clothes tightly, remained expressionless, and looked at the used fork. Even without
poison, she refused to eat anything Zach brought. It was hard for her to believe he was being so kind.
“I-I’m not hungry.” Madelyn stood up, attempting to escape. However, Zach behind her pressed down on her shoulder, forcing
her to sit.
“Do you want me to feed you myself?” Zach asked.
“No,” Madelyn rejected without hesitation. Then, she reached for a tissue from the side with a trembling hand and slowly wiped
the fork. Zach watched her with a darkened expression.
Madelyn ate slowly, and Zach took a comb from the bathroom. He gently untangled her hair, which still carried a hint of sweet
strawberry fragrance from the previous day’s washing. Madelyn remained still, feeling out of place in her room and unsure what
to do. She ate about half of the meal, finishing all the chicken soup, but she barely touched the other dishes.
“I’m done. I’m going to wash my face,” Madelyn said.
Zach’s actions did not cease. He seemed almost addicted, combing her hair over and over. “Finish your meal.”
“I really can’t eat anymore.”
“You have to finish it even if you can’t.” Zach raised his eyes and saw Madelyn in the mirror. She barely managed to hide the
disgust on her face.
After untangling her hair, Zach took a purple hairband from the drawer beside her and tied her hair. This hairband was a birthday
gift he had brought back for Madelyn from Marisburg. She had never used it because she cherished it.
Madelyn could not bear it any longer and stood up. “What are you trying to do?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them. With Hayson absent, provoking him would only lead to trouble.
Suppressing her irritation, Madelyn spoke calmly, “Thank you for the meal today. I’m full. You can continue with your
business. You don’t need to bother about me.”
Staring at the unfamiliar distance in her eyes, Zach fixed his gaze. “Go downstairs for a walk after your meal. Don’t stay in your
room all day ”
“I got it.” Her response was subtly telling him that he did not need to meddle in her affairs
Madelyn turned and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Her untied hair fell loosely around her shoulders and
her reflection in the bathroom mirror showed the weariness in her eyes. She pulled off the hairband, and her waterfall – like black
hair cascaded down. She absentmindedly tossed the hairband into the sink, then sat on the toilet seat, trying to prevent herself
from overthinking
Today was Monday, and she should have been at school. Whether it was Halley, Albert, or her former class teacher from Class
Six, they all had high expectations for her. However, she was hiding here like a turtle now, cutting off all connections with the
outside world.
Madelyn did not know if Zach had left or how long she had been sitting in the bathroom. However, all she wanted at that moment
was never to step out of that door again.
‘God witnessed my past life’s misery and gave me a second chance for a better life, but I find myself reliving that same torment
all over again. I desperately want to change everything, but it just remains the same. I can’t avoid Zach’s retaliation, so what’s
the point of me even having a second life?”
Madelyn thought that she would be able to break away from her original path through all her efforts. However, she realized
the inevitable would still happen, no matter how hard she tried.
