“Stay back. Don’t come near me!”
The person’s voice sounded scratchy. They were a bit late in warning her, though.
Struggling to see in the dark, Madelyn flicked on her phone’s
flashlight. She gasped upon seeing someone in a hospital outfit with skin covered in burn marks, causing her phone to slip from her hand in shock.
Hearing a crash, Zach rushed into the women’s restroom without a second thought.
Before Madelyn could snap out of her daze, Zach had already started. pulling her out.
“You okay?” Zach looked her over real quick.
Still freaked out by the burned person, Madelyn nodded. “I’m alright. They looked so hurt… It freaked me out. Let’s head back, okay?” she
mumbled, the image sticking in her head like a bad dream.
Even though Madelyn did not buy into ghost stories, she could not
shake off the spooky face she saw.
In the restroom, Yvonne, a sobbing mess with foul-smelling stains on
her hospital gown, was found by her helper.
Yvonne felt humiliated. She remembered a time when she did not
even bother looking at Madelyn, but now, seeing Madelyn getting
more attractive, Yvonne could not help but feel angry and jealous. She
wished she could destroy Madelyn’s face.
Yvonne thought if Madelyn’s face got scars like hers, Zach would not look at her twice. She figured Madelyn was only around Zach because she was pretty.
‘Madelyn, Zach doesn’t really love you; he just likes how you look.’
Back in her hospital room, Yvonne’s helper assisted her in changing into clean clothes. Shaking a bit, Yvonne grabbed a mirror she usually did not like using. Gazing into the mirror, her eyes were fierce and intense over her changed face.
She thought, ‘Madelyn, we’re not done yet. When I get better, I’m going to make sure to ruin your face. Then Zach won’t like you anymore, and he’ll come back to me. I should be Mrs. Jardin, not you.’
Yvonne gently touched her face and mumbled to. herself, “Just you wait, Madelyn. You’ll see.”
Upstairs, Lana, who was eight months pregnant, was relaxing in Kai’s office. Kai had arranged for her to stay there for easy supervision.
Holding a cup of coffee, Lana came up to Kai. He was deep into checking out Yvonne’s medical stuff, but he quickly switched his
attention to Lana. Standing up, he gently took the coffee from her. ”
Hey, you should be resting in bed. Let me deal with the little things,
okay?”
Lana sat down in a chair that he had pulled up for her. “Who’s that
person you were talking about today? The one who got all burned? Will she be okay?”
Kai answered, “Yes, you’ve heard of her–it’s Yvonne. We’re not sure RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
what’s going to happen next; even with surgery, we might only fix like 60 to 70 percent of how she looked. Her burns are pretty bad.”
Lana pondered briefly. “Oh, Yvonne. She’s lucky to be alive. What about her ex-husband, your friend? Does he worry about her?”
Kai laughed a bit as he adjusted his glasses and twirled a pen. “Well, it’s okay to talk about this with me, but don’t mention it around Zach. He’s…complicated. You know, yesterday -” He stopped talking when Lana suddenly moved to sit on his lap.
