Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 279 Death Wish

“Stop!”

Maxton was livid, striding forward to forcefully push away the girls surrounding Madelyn. “Did to this combat

training center to beat up fellow student?” he barked.

Finished

you

come

Upon hearing the words, the women looked up, only to see Maxton. They immediately gasped, wishing the

ground would open up and swallow them. Clearly, one of them had expected him to cto the women’s

changing room.

“Stand over there, all of you,” Maxton ordered coldly. “Without my permission, you are not to leave. If you

disobey, don’t bother showing up again.”

Following that, Maxton didn’t have the tto deal with them. He quickly helped Madelyn up to her feet. “Are

you alright?”

Although the tone was cold, there was a clear hint of concern.

When the female students watched this scene unfold, their resentment for Madelyn deepened. If looks. could in

Madelyn would have died a thousand times over.

Although Madelyn had been ambushed and beaten up her injuries were fortunately not serious. Her body was

somewhat bruised, but they were minor. However, her arm was dislocated, causing him unbearable pain.

Madelyn had no choice but to clutch her arm tightly, a thin layer of cold sweat forming on her forehead. “I'm

fine. It just feels like my arm may be dislocated.”

Upon seeing the situation, Maxton inexplicably felt a pang of sympathy. Suddenly, he bent down and scooped up

Madelyn in his arms, heading straight for the door. “I’m taking you to see a doctor!”

Madelyn was taken aback by Maxton’s actions. However, she reasoned that he was probably just acting in his

capacity as a coach, concerned for the safety of his students, and so, she didn’t dwell on it.

In no tat all, Maxton carried Madelyn straight to the infirmary at the combat training center. As soon as he

set her down, he immediately had the doctor examine her injuries.

The doctor was a specialist in orthopedics. After examining the injury, he immediately set Madelyn’s bone.

When a sudden force was exerted on her hand, Madelyn almost cried out in pain. Fortunately, she could move

her hand afterward, and the pain had eased significantly.

Following that, the doctor wrapped a bandage around her, instructing Madelyn to rest her arm in a sling to

prevent it from dislocating again.

It wasn’t until Madelyn’s bandages were secured that Maxton finally let out a sigh of relief.

Then, it was tto deal with the female students from earlier.

After calling the group of female students into the martial arts classroom, Maxton didn’t bother with pleasantries.

He interrogated them sternly, “Why did you all attack Madelyn?”

“L... The taller one was clearly stammering.

“Um, actually, we just wanted to have a friendly spar with her...” a female student said.

Finished

“Spar?” Maxton scolled. “All of you ganged up on her, and you call that sparring? Sure, if you insist on calling it

that, | can have the police cand confirm it”

Once Maxton finished speaking, he couldn't be bothered with idle chatter. He immediately took out his phone,

ready to call the police.

The trainees were terrified by the threat. One of them, who was particularly timid, immediately changed. her

tune. “Coach Wendel, you can’t blus for this,” she pleaded. “In truth, we were only following Coach

Lindsay’s orders when we went to bother Madelyn. Please, don’t call the police.”

So that’s what happened.

Upon hearing those words, the light in Maxton’s eyes dimmed. He thought of Lindsay's beautiful face, a stark

contrast to her wicked heart, and instantly felt a sense of disgust.

Upon hearing the nLindsay, Madelyn was, in fact, somewhat taken aback.

Initially, she thought it was just the female students who had taken a dislike to her. Little did she know th there

was actually a mastermind behind the scenes who had set her up.

Madelyn’s gaze turned colder. Hmph, I really couldn't stay out of trouble no matter where | am.

“We've admitted to everything, Madelyn. The truth is, we were just envious of your beauty and your close

relationship with Coach Wendel. Please forgive us. We're sorry... At this point, the timid girl repeated her

apologies to Madelyn.

The female students nearby were left with no choice. Succumbing to the pressure exerted by Maxton, they had

no choice but to apologize to Madelyn one by one.

Madelyn, on the other hand, didn’t really care. After all they didn’t gain any advantage, so she simply decided to

let it slide.

These women are merely pawns, exploited for someone else’s agenda. If there is a score to settle, it should be

with Lindsay

With a casual wave of her hand, Madelyn wore an indifferent expression. “Since you've all apologized, let's just

leave it at that. You should all head hearly.”

Upon hearing those words, the women let out collective sighs of relief, then turned and left.

At this point, Maxton also felt a bit guilty. “I'm sorry. The situation you're in is actually because of me.”

“Don’t bother apologizing, this matter doesn’t really involve you,” said Madelyn in a nonchalant manner.

“However, | might have to cancel tonight's dinner. Let's reschedule it for another time.”

Maxton also nodded slightly. “Do you wantto take you home?”

“No need. Even though my hand is dislocated, | can still manage to hail a cab,” Madelyn said with a radiant

sinile. Without lingering any longer, she headed hwith her dislocated arm.

As soon as Madelyn stepped through the door at Lockhart Villa, Lydia noticed her injury right away. She let out a

startled cry. “Mrs. Lockhart, what happened to you?”

“It's nothing. Just a minor injury,” Madelyn said with a mile as she stepped into the house. Yet, just as she took

her first step, she suddenly halted.

Sebastian casually lounged on the sofa, His eyes, however, were tightly fixed on her wrist, causing his

entire face to darken.

“Um... I... I'm home, Madelyn said, utterly embarrassed.

“What have you been up to again?” A chilly voice echoed, sending a slight shiver down Madelyn’s spine.

Suddenly, Sebastian rose from the couch, striding directly toward her. He then scrutinized her from head to toe,

his voice laced with clear displeasure. “Be honest with me.”

Madelyn certainly didn’t want to upset him, so she immediately put on a pitiful expression. “Sebastian, it really

wasn’t my fault this time. | went to the combat training center for training today, and a few girls ganged up on

me...

Following that, Madelyn explained the situation in detail.

After he heard everything. Sebastian's expression turned even more gloomy.

Someone actually dared to mess with my girl? They must have a death wish.

Upon seeing his stern face, Madelyn hurriedly tried to pacify him, “Sebastian, those people are actually quite

pitiful. They were used by others and | even gave them a piece of my mind. Besides. | didn’t suffer much, so

could you please stop being angry?”

In response, Sebastian’s expression gradually softened, and he let out a sigh of relief. “Go on. Wash up and, get

ssleep.

The next day, Madelyn still couldn’t remove her bandage, so she had to go to school with one arm in a sling

Upon seeing Madelyn in such a battered state, Josiah and Tristan were shocked, their eyes widened in disbelief.

They quickly asked, “Hey, Madelyn, what on earth were you up to last night? How did you end up like this?”
