Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day -
Chapter 96
Chapter 0096
With a sound as tender as a whisper, the woman before him held an enchanting beauty, her face a testament to the distinguished air her parents must possess. Yet now, her sparkling, clear eyes blinked repeatedly, a wordless appeal.
Madison didn’t know how to respond to such a moment, replying offhandedly, “Is this the kind of thing you ask permission for?”
Her retort coaxed a peculiar smile from the man, his arm propping him up as he leaned in close, “So, are you suggesting that it’s okay for me to proceed without asking?”
“You-Mmph!”
Madison’s eyes widened, her breath stolen by his fervent kiss.
His earnest intensity and the warmth of his body left her heart in disarray.
“Close your eyes.”
Obediently, Madison did as she was told.
It took a while before she could breathe normally again, touching her slightly swollen lips. Yet the man still hovered over her, showing al particular fondness for her neck. His face buried there, occasionally planting kisses that were not crude but carried an implicit intimacy that reached deep into her bones.
Just as Madison was about to squirm away from the discomfort, he whispered, “From now on, I am without a father.”
Even the most stalwart figures had events that could unnerve them.
Sensing the subtle desolation emanating from the man beside her,

Madison’s heart wavered.
She wrapped her arms around Ethan’s shoulders, the words spilling from her, “Aren’t I here for you? There’s so much I can do. I can take care of you when you’re sick, cook anything you crave, and learn what I don’t know.”
“I’ve lost my parents too, I’m all alone. As of today, you’re all I have. We can rely on each other, right? And you still have Jessica?”
She consoled Ethan with the gentlest of voices.
In a spot unseen by Madison, Ethan’s eyes brimmed with redness. He held her tightly, his face nestled deeply in her neck.
“Suddenly, I feel like all the good deeds I’ve done in my life, all the virtues I’ve accumulated, were all to prepare me for meeting you.”
Madison was momentarily stunned.
Could this be the highest praise in the world?
“Ethan, you have a fever,” she reminded him, coming back to her
senses.
“I know,” Ethan said with a smile.
But the pain in his body was nothing compared to the ache in his
heart.
Despite his disappointment in Mason, the decision to sever ties with his father had left him emotionally overwhelmed.
After Ethan fell asleep, the silver-haired ginger, Yin Jiang, came to give him an injection and asked her brother Yin Duo to help change the dressing.

When Michael, about to drift off, received a message from William, he was jolted awake.

“What does Ethan mean by this?”
“It’s a trust fund for Captain Madison,” William explained.
“President Grant didn’t elaborate, but from what I gathered, it’s a precaution in case something happens to him. This fund is meant for Captain Madison’s use for the rest of her life.”
Upon hearing the words ‘rely on each other’ from Madison, Ethan was
struck with the idea.
Before succumbing to his exhaustion, he sent a message to William, instructing Michael to purchase a trust fund for Madison.
Should anything happen to him, this fund would not be counted as part of his estate-it would belong solely to Madison.
After ending the call, Michael mused, “That’s really being lovesick, isn’t it? Dropping billions just like that.”
Madison had not slept, remaining ever vigilant by Ethan’s side, monitoring his temperature.
At ten o’clock, she received a notice from her company.
She read it for a while, then turned her gaze to the sleeping Ethan.

Exiting the news feed to calm his mind, the more he thought about the media lauding Madison’s heroic deeds and the prominent individuals personally commending Madison and Ethan’s courage, the more discontent he became.

Why didn’t he deserve her dedication?!
Jessica arrived early to check on them, bringing lunch with her.
“You need to eat, goddess! Look at you, you’ve lost weight in just a couple of days,” Jessica said, concerned. “You’re not hurt, are you? I
was so scared!”
Unknown to them, Jessica had cried all night upon learning of Ethan’s disappearance. She wanted to go abroad to find Ethan, but William had stopped her.
Now that they were back, Jessica hurried over.
“I’m fine. Ethan has some injuries, but nothing serious. He’ll get better with some rest,” Madison’s voice was hoarse.
“Do you have a cold?” Jessica asked.
Madison shook her head.
Probably just a sore throat from all the worry.
Jessica suggested, “You should rest too. I’ll tidy up the place, and I’ll
order something delicious for dinner.”
“Thank you, really,” Madison said.

Not long after Jessica left, Madison turned to find Ethan awake, watching her.
“You’re up?” she asked, quickly touching his forehead.
Relieved, she found his fever had broken.
Her hand was gently pulled, and she looked down.
Ethan, in a weak voice, asked, “Can you lie down with me for a while?”
Lie down with him?
Madison was taken aback.
Ethan managed a tired smile, “I’m like this, what do you think I can do?
Two minutes later.
Madison lay on the other side of the bed, careful not to move.
But to her surprise, Ethan slowly turned over and pulled her into his
embrace.
They were very close, almost nose to nose.
