Roxanne and Madilyn were seated in the courtyard of the mansion gifted by the former to the latter, chatting casually on a clear night.
Lorraine had already gone to bed, and Madilyn finally felt relieved. She looked as though she had finally found peace after surviving a catastrophe.
“Roxanne, to be honest, I've been avoiding it all along. I don't want to get involved in relationships. I appear nonchalant and bold to give myself courage,” Madilyn said truthfully, revealing her innermost fears.
After all, with her family background, she had to endure countless rumors and gossip from a young age. She had slowly learned to become strong and optimistic.
“Madilyn, you and your mother did nothing wrong, so you don't need to be afraid,” Roxanne comforted her friend.
Madilyn smiled slightly.
She was deeply grateful to Roxanne for saving her mother, as only a doctor could understand the dangers involved. Even a renowned doctor in Chanaea might not have dared to do what she had done.
“What about Coralie? You said that she's quite proactive. How do you even feel about Jonathan?” Roxanne probed.
Unexpectedly, Jonathan, who was usually clueless, had suddenly become popular recently. Coralie might have found a way to get along with him, as she seemed to have won his heart completely.
Roxanne was a little worried, as she could tell that her best friend's feelings for Jonathan had grown beyond a budding stage.
Madilyn shook her head. “I'm not really sure, but I can sense that he enjoys being around Coralie, so I might not have a chance. But it's also nice to be his friend. He's always been kind to his friends!”
