Chapter 70
Zach had received a call from the school and learned that Jadie was at the hospital. Halfway through his meeting, he asked Kevin to take over for him as he rushed to the scene.
Jadie was lying on the bed at SereneCare Hospital with an IV tube in her hand, her face pale. When she saw Zach, she looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, not knowing how to face him. She lowered her head and said, “Z-Zach… I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”
Zach saw the injury on Jadie’s face, and an unnoticeable hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. “What did the doctors say?” He asked.
“The doctors said I’m fine. It’s just some abrasions. They told me to drink some warm water if I feel any physical discomfort and I’ll be fine.”
At that moment a middle-aged woman, in her thirties, walked in through the doorway. “You must be Jadie’s brother,” she said while holding a medical chart.
Zach recognized the woman. They met during the school registration day. “Yeah, I am,” he replied.

“Come with me, young man. I have something to tell you.”
Outside the ward, Marissa told Zach everything that happened last night. She also informed him that they would be contacting the students’ parents, including those from Ventrocloud High School.
Marissa told him that something similar had happened before, but due to some extenuating circumstances, they had not been able to settle the matter. Zach knew what she meant. Things could get complicated if they made a big deal out of the situation.
Suddenly, Zach’s gaze turned cold. “So what you’re saying is that we should just let go of this issue? Is this what you’re taught to do as a teacher?”
“I’ve contacted the other party’s parents and they said they were willing to bear the cost of Jadie’s medical bill. Ms. Fawley has also sincerely apologized to Jadie. If you’re not satisfied with this outcome, we may talk about another solution at the school,” said Marissa, neither angry or annoyed.
Zach raised wrist to look at the time and said in a cold tone, “I’ve gotten a pretty clear understanding of what happened after our conversation, Ms. Selman. I will do my own investigation regarding the reason for the assault. Jadie is still not feeling well. We can end the conversation here for today, and I will make time tomorrow to discuss the most reasonable solution. I’m a businessman, Ms. Selman. I pay attention to the efficiency and quality of things. I don’t like to do anything unnecessary. If I’m not satisfied with how the school carries out their procedures, I will come up with my own means to achieve a desirable result.”

His words were sharp and decisive, and his intentions were clear.
After that, Zach nodded respectfully at Marissa, turned around, and went back into ward. Marissa stood outside, unable to move. She had felt a cold wind and gotten goosebumps when Zach was speaking to her earlier.

“How was the talk with Ms. Selman, Zach? I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t know why they beat me up. I didn’t even do anything to them. Please don’t be mad.”
“I’m not mad, Jadie. Have you taken your pain meds?” Zach asked as he stroked Jadie’s hair. His demeanor was different now.
“Yeah. I feel much better now.”
Zach did not know that Jadie’s period pain had been so severe before this.

“I’ve gotten you a medical leave so just rest up.”
“I’ll go back to school after I’m done with this IV drip, Zach. You don’t have to worry about me anymore after that.”
Zach grabbed her hand and could feel that it was cold. He looked at the IV bag, adjusted the drip rate, and said, “Let’s bring you home.”
“That’s okay, Zach. I don’t want to keep you from work. I have school tomorrow. I promise I’m okay enough to attend my classes.”
“You’re not going back to school. I’ll have Rosario come over and take care of
you.”
“But what about Madelyn? Rosario’s the closest person to her in the Jent residence.”
“There are other housemaids in the Jent residence who can take care of her. If she doesn’t agree to let Rosario take care of you, I’ll figure something out,” Zach said.
Marissa had left that point, and Zach fell asleep while waiting for Jadie to be done with the IV
drip.
