CHAPTER 10

Madelyn came to her senses and saw everyone in the audience laughed at the pastor's words, and some of them were already talking about it.

There was more and more chatter on the ground. Madelyn took a deep breath and smiled sweetly. She took the bridesmaid's ring and put it on her ring finger.

…

Madelyn sat in the limousine, looking at the scenery. The car pulled up to a detached cottage and stopped.

On the vermilion gate there were two bright yellow round brass lion heads. The bright light on the gate made the bronze lions' heads shine like gold. All these were showing that the master was extraordinary.

Madelyn had always thought her home was great, but now it was nothing compared to The Byron family's house.

The gate of the villa opened slowly and the car stopped slowly in the villa. Owen, the butler, opened the door respectfully and said, "The Young Mrs. Byron, here we are. Please follow me."

Madelyn smiled politely at Owen and followed him inside.

"This is your room." Owen opened the door and said reverently to Madelyn.

"Owen, what room are Grandma and mom and dad in?" Madelyn asked, turning to Owen.

"The Old Mrs. Byron loved silence. She lived in a yard at the back of the villa. Mr. and Mrs. Byron live on the east side of the villa. As for Mr. Chad Byron, he lives on the west side of the house." Owen introduced them one by one.

"You have to take a bath and have a rest. I'll take you to Alexander Byron later, ma'am."

Madelyn nodded, smiled and said, "Okay." Then she turned and walked back to the room.

Owen looked at Madelyn's back with a grave expression on his face. "I wish Mr. Alexander Byron would wake up…" he muttered.

Madelyn went into her room. Looking at the furnishings, she sighed and went to the bathroom.

"Owen, you go check on The Young Mr. Byron and see if she's ready." Marian said slowly from the couch to Owen.

Madelyn was about to go downstairs when she heard Marian's voice, so she went downstairs quietly.

"Mom, are you looking for me?" Madelyn smiled as she walked over to Marian.

"Sit down, please."

"Thank you, mom."

Marian looked at Madelyn lightly and carefully before saying slowly, "Madelyn, you're married into our family now, and Owen will fill you in on some rules."

"I got it." Madelyn replied skillfully.

Seeing Marian sitting there looking at her with a blank expression on her face, Madelyn's gut told her that she didn't like her.

After a while, Marian stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to Alexander."

Madelyn got up and followed Marian down a hallway next door

Marian walked to a room door and stopped, then grabbed the key and opened the door. Madelyn had got all kinds of scenarios going on in her head about how she was going to meet Alexander Byron.

Just as Madelyn was in a trance, Marian's voice rant out coldly, "Madelyn, what's wrong with you?" Madelyn then realized that she was still standing in the same doorway and Marian had walked to the door of a room ahead.

"Well, it's nothing." Madelyn quickly followed.

Marian looked at her with some displeasure, and she didn't like her much more because she thought she had married them for money.

"Come in. You go inside and change into these sterile clothes. Remove all jewelry from your body. Don't leave anything on your body." Marian ordered without expression.

"Mom, I'm done." Madelyn changed her clothes and walked out to see that Marian hadn't changed her clothes. Did she expect her to see the unseen husband alone?

Marian took Madelyn to the door of an isolation ward, pointed inside, and said, "Go on in! We've already been in there today. We can't go in there again."

Madelyn nodded conformably and said, "Okay." Then she pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing her inside, Marian looked into the room with a hurt look in her eyes, closed her eyes, and turned to leave the room.

Madelyn went inside wearing a sterile hospital gown. There were many advanced medical instruments in the room, any of which could be compared with a hospital's.

"Hi, are you Alexander's new wife Madelyn?" A man in a sterile hospital gown asked Madelyn.

"Yes. And you are?" Madelyn looked blankly at Edmund Johnson.

"I'm Edmund Johnson, Alexander's personal physician. You're here to see Alexander, right? I'll show you inside."

Edmund Johnson saw Madelyn's indifferent face and part of him wanted to see what kind of woman she was.

Madelyn nodded politely to Edmund Johnson and said, "Thank you."

"You probably know about Alexander's condition. He was in a car accident two years ago, and then his girlfriend left him. The double whammy turned him into what he is now."

As Edmund Johnson walked along, he explained to Madelyn about Alexander Byron's condition and gave her some tips on what to do.

"Remember that?" Edmund Johnson asked, turning to smile at her.

Madelyn nodded at him and said, "Yes. Thank you, Dr. Johnson."

Because they were both dressed in sterile ward clothes and wearing masks, they could not see each other's faces.

"Here we are. Let's go in together." Edmund Johnson pushed the door open, walked over to Alexander Byron's bed, bent down, put his lips close to his ear and whispered, "Alexander, your new wife Madelyn is here to see you."

Edmund Johnson's mouth curled slightly into an inscrutable smile.

Madelyn didn't find out that because he was wearing a mask.

Madelyn looked at the man in the bed. Who would have thought that Alexander Byron, who once reigned supreme in business, was sleeping like a baby in his bed now?

Edmund Johnson said softly to Madelyn, "I'm going to go out. Stay with him for a minute. You'd better talk to him. It's good for him."

"Okay!" Madelyn's feeling was very mixed right now. She walked quietly to the bed and sat down.

"Hi, I'm your wife Madelyn. From now on we are husband and wife, and I will come to see you often and talk to you. I hope you wake up early."

Madelyn just looked at her in the bed. She had no idea that people like them who could get what they wanted could be betrayed in relationships.

Edmund Johnson stood outside looking at Madelyn quietly, wondering what kind of girl she was. Girls usually run away when they saw something like this. How could they have come up?

Moments later, Edmund Johnson approached Madelyn and said, "It's time to go back. You can't stay here long."

"Okay."

Madelyn stood up, looked at the man in the bed, and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."
