Alex said, “You helped her fend off the knife, but she didn’t even appreciate it.”
As soon as he finished, a figure appeared in front of them. Seeing the comer, Alex sarcastically said, “Speak of the
devil, and she appears.”
The three people still at the door watched as Madelyn abruptly left, and they had no idea what she was trying to do.
Then, they saw her bowing and saying something, but they were too far away to hear it.
Zach’s gaze suddenly deepened, and everyone looked at Madelyn’s actions in surprise.
“Thank you!” Madelyn’s words were sincere. Then, she straightened up again. “I’m really sorry for not visiting you
at the hospital all this time. Are you doing okay?”
Caden scratched his head bashfully, “I’m fine. The doctor said the wound isn’t deep, and a few days of rest will do.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex cursed angrily, “Bullshit! Your intestines are practically out, and you’re saying the wound isn’t deep? And you,
why are you coming over here pretending to care now? Get lost! Stop blocking our way.”
Caden lightly tugged at Alex’s clothes, “Alex, don’t say that.”
“Did I say anything wrong? She was acting all high and mighty before. Forrest, is she the same at school? Such a
poser!”
Madelyn looked at Forrest.
Forrest smiled, “She’s toned it down, actually! She used to have such a fiery temper.”
“Regarding our past interactions, I admit I had some biases against you.” Madelyn hesitated, unsure how to explain
herself.
She continued, “I’m used to being alone. I’m sorry, I don’t know how to interact with me reintroduce myself. I’m
Madelyn.” She extended her hand to Caden.

Caden also shyly extended his hand. “I’m Caden.”
“Thank you.” They shook hands gently. It was the first time Madelyn had taken the initiative to interact with
someone.
Madelyn also invited them to join the dinner tonight. Actually, there was a hidden agenda in her invitation. She
might be in deep trouble if it were just the three of them tonight. Besides, having more people could ease the
awkwardness of the situation.
After they left, Yvonne asked Madelyn on their way back, “What did you say to them?”
Madelyn answered, “I thanked them and invited them to have dinner together.”
“Is Forrest going too?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadelyn nodded, “Maybe.”
Yvonne’s expression changed abruptly, “Madelyn, I told you before. Someone like him doesn’t deserve to be at the
same dinner table with us, let alone appear in front of my elder brother!
Her tone sounded furious and radical. “Besides, Forrest’s friends are nothing but gangsters and hooligans! Madelyn,
you can just use money to deal with those people. You really don’t have to do this.”
“That’s your family’s business!” Madelyn retorted and looked at her calmly. “Yvonne, I don’t. understand your
situation, just as you don’t understand mine. I can’t empathize with it. To me, their identities, their circumstances,
and their birth aren’t things they can choose. In my eyes, they’re just ordinary people like me. Caden saved me,
and Forrest too.”
Madelyn had never felt superior because of her wealth or as a member of the Jent family. “I’m sorry, Yvonne! I
know saying these might upset you. It’s getting late. Let’s go to class.”
After she got the test paper and asking Albert about it, Madelyn learned that Albert had studied the questions with
the other teachers to understand them.
