Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 215

“Madisyn, there’s more to it than I can explain right now,” Waylon messaged back.

“Howard doesn’t want to see anyone right now, and honestly, I didn’t expect him to still pay attention to your matters.

”

A wave of concern washed over Madisyn.

“I see.

Is he dealing with depression?”

“It’s not depression,” Waylon responded.

“Howard’s been injured.

He’s living alone and has never left the house.

It’s hit him hard, and he doesn’t want anyone to see him like this, so we’ve been giving him space.

”

Madisyn felt a deep sympathy for Howard.

She could only imagine how difficult this must be for him, and she resolved to replace a way to visit him when she got back, hoping she could offer some support.

For now, though, the focus was on the competition.

The group was in good spirits, preparing for the big day ahead.

But when the results were announced, everything changed.

Madisyn was the only one who made it through; the other two were eliminated.

Rosaline and Gerard were particularly crushed, their disappointment palpable.

Lynda, despite her own disappointment, kept her composure and assessed the situation calmly.

“International competitions might seem fair on the surface, but that’s not always the case.

Lorpond hasn’t taken a championship in years, so we don’t have any judges from our own country.

Most of them are from Mafelen, and it’s only natural they’ll lean toward their own competitors.

”

Everyone knew Lynda was right, but it didn’t make the reality any easier to swallow.

Rosaline’s eyes were filled with tears as she turned to Madisyn.

“It’s all on you now, Madi.

We’re counting on you to win-for me, for all of us.

”

Her tear-streaked face was a mix of determination and hope, and it tugged at Madisyn’s heart.

She softly reassured her, “I’ll give it everything I’ve got.

Don’t worry.

”

Lynda gave Rosaline and Gerard a comforting pat on the shoulder.

“You’ve done something incredible just by getting this far.

Go get some rest.

”

They nodded silently and left the room, leaving Lynda and Madisyn alone.

Lynda and Madisyn went to the practice room.

As Lynda was about to offer Madisyn some guidance, she realized there was nothing she could teach her-Madisyn’s skills had already surpassed her own.

“I still think you have a good chance of taking first place.

”

Lynda’s eyes held a spark of hope as she gazed at Madisyn.

Madisyn replied, “I believe in my shot at this too.

”
