Chapter 183 Do You Have A Death Wish

And so, Sebastian made a phone call to his assistant, Malcolm, informing him that Madelyn was about to leave.

Malcolm understood his intentions, and in no time, he arrived with two bodyguards and a woman dressed in casual attire.

“Mr. Lockhart, these two gentlemen are the bodyguards I’ve arranged for Mrs. Lockhart. They’re both former top three contestants in the city’s kickboxing competition. As for this lady, she’s an employee from our company’s sales department and she’s quite familiar with the local shops. She could show Mrs. Lockhart around.”

Upon hearing those words, Sebastian nodded in satisfaction.

Following that, he left the group waiting outside and returned to his room. He then retrieved a black card and handed it to Madelyn.

“Once you head out, feel free to go wherever you wish. But remember, safety is paramount, got it?” Sebastian said.

Madelyn, however, didn’t seem to mind. She chuckled and said, “Got it. You don’t need to worry. Besides, didn’t you find me two strong bodyguards? What could possibly go wrong?”

Upon hearing this, Sebastian was considerably relieved.

Following that, Madelyn stepped out of the house, while Sebastian continued with his bustling routine.

Accompanied by the female employee named Ada, Madelyn explored around various shops and made numerous purchases.

Before long, the two bodyguards found themselves reduced to porters, their hands laden with bags of all sizes.

Passersby on the street couldn’t help but have their attention drawn to Madelyn. After all, she bore an uncanny resemblance to an unlearned and incompetent prominent young lady.

Only Ada knew that most of the things Madelyn bought were actually for Sebastian.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the hotel, Harriet somehow found out about Madelyn’s whereabouts.

When she heard that Madelyn was shopping extravagantly on the streets, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Harriet really couldn’t understand how someone as outstanding as Sebastian could be attracted to such a woman.

Upon finding out about it, Wesley couldn’t help but continuously make snide remarks on the side.

“We were both in Rodunst, yet while we were stuck in endless meetings day after day, that foolish woman is acting as if she’s here on vacation. How exasperating!”

Madelyn’s legs were aching from all the walking after she finished her shopping spree later that night.

A sudden sensation of tightness gripped Madelyn’s heart as she immediately stepped forward and reached out to touch Sebastian’s forehead, only to find out he was running a fever.

It’s probably because he has been overworked these past few days…

Madelyn couldn’t help but feel a touch of helplessness, yet what overwhelmed her more was a deep sense of heartache.

Fortunately, Sebastian only had a mild fever. As such, Madelyn went to the pharmacy to buy some antipyretics and fed them to him upon her return.

The following day, Sebastian didn’t attend the meeting as he had been in a deep slumber.

Wesley and Harriet found his absence odd, so they went looking for him together.

“Why didn’t you attend the meeting today, Sebastian?” Wesley complained as soon as he walked through the door.

The very next moment, he saw Sebastian lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut.

“Sebastian!” Wesley was instantly thrown into a panic.

Harriet quickly took a few steps forward, her anxiety evident as she asked, “Sebastian, what’s wrong?”

At that moment, Madelyn was just bringing in a bowl of oatmeal when she saw the two of them by the bed, which immediately infuriated her.

“Get out, both of you!” Madelyn suddenly roared in anger.

“What’s wrong?” Wesley asked, puzzled.

Suddenly, Madelyn slammed the bowl onto the table, then walked over and forcefully pushed the two toward the door.

“Get out of here right now!”

Bewildered, Wesley couldn’t help but express his anger, “What are you doing, Madelyn? Sebastian didn’t even attend the meeting today! Don’t you realize how worried we are about him?”

Madelyn got even more infuriated. “Screw the meeting! Sebastian wouldn’t have fallen ill if it wasn’t for these endless meetings! Listen here; even if you have a matter of utmost importance today, you can tell him about it later!”

After she finished speaking, Madelyn suddenly mustered up her strength, forcefully driving the two of them out with a flurry of kicks and punches.

Sebastian wouldn’t have fallen ill with a fever if they hadn’t been constantly wearing him out!

After being beaten up mercilessly, Wesley had no choice but to plead repeatedly. “Enough already, Ma’am! We’ll leave now!”

Harriet was at a loss for words as she walked straight out. What a crazy woman!

Sebastian, who had awoken at some point, said, “Let them in.”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn felt a sudden wave of frustration. “Sebastian, do you have a death wish or something!”

He’s so exhausted that he fell ill! Why does he still try to push himself this hard?

Sebastian, however, shook his head nonchalantly. “I’m fine, let them in.”

No sooner had the words been spoken, than Wesley and Harriet found themselves instinctively moving forward.

Madelyn felt somewhat indignant as she watched the scene unfold, yet she was powerless to intervene.

In the end, she could only express her frustration by saying, “Fine! You guys carry on with your charade, then! I won’t disturb you guys anymore!”

After saying that, she ran out.

Clearly, she had lost her temper.

Sebastian figured that she probably wouldn’t go far as she was unfamiliar with the surrounding area, so he decided not to worry about her for the time being.

Following that, they discussed official business.

There was only so much to be discussed about work. Before long, Wesley and Harriet finished their report and subsequently left.

At that moment, Sebastian began his search for Madelyn.

First, he tried to call her, but he couldn’t get through. Sebastian figured she was probably still upset, so her not answering the phone was to be expected.

So he made another call to Malcolm, figuring that the two bodyguards and the female staff should be aware of her movements.

In the end, Malcolm replied, stating they didn’t know where Madelyn was.

Sebastian found the situation rather peculiar and felt compelled to have his men search the entire hotel and even the nearby shops.

However, Madelyn was still nowhere to be found.

It was as if Madelyn had simply vanished into thin air. Not a single soul in the vicinity has caught a glimpse of her.

At this point, Sebastian was finally getting anxious. Where has that girl run off to? Could she have encountered some danger?

Upon thinking of this, a sudden jolt hit Sebastian’s heart. He immediately dispatched all of his men to search everywhere.

Chapter 163 Do You Have A Death Wish

Meanwhile, in an underground black market somewhere in Rodunst.

Madelyn came straight here after leaving the hotel.

Drawing from her memories of her past life, she knew this black market was a treasure trove. It was a place where one could find priceless antiques and various types of furs that weren’t allowed to be sold openly in the market, among other things.

There were even some illegal firearms sold there.

Madelyn, of course, knew what this place was. After all, she had intentionally sought it out.

At that moment, Madelyn was clad in a black leather outfit. Having styled herself like a mob boss, she casually strolled around.

Passersby couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at her. Her face, coupled with her attire, exuded a unique blend of stunning beauty and commanding presence.

As Madelyn walked into a small shop, the shop assistant immediately came forward to assist her.

“What would you like to purchase, miss?”

Madelyn’s lips curled up slightly. “A cigarette, perhaps.”

To her surprise, upon hearing her words, the shopkeeper’s eyes widened. “Miss, it’s been a long time since anyone has come to buy cigarettes from me!”
