Chapter 409 Her First Kiss

• Upon hearing those words, Madelyn felt a pang in her heart and couldn't help but reach out to embrace the tall figure of Josiah. “Josiah, why are you so kind to me?”
• After that, with a touch of emotion, Madelyn said, “Don't worry. I'll be waiting for your return. The significance you hold for me extends far beyond just a good friend. In my heart, you've already become my family. Promise me that after you enlist this time, you must strive with all your might. You can't afford to just drift aimlessly through your days anymore. You must strive to be the pride of your family. Stand up for your parents and your elder brothers. You have to prove yourself stronger than Hayden. Show those in your family who look down on you that you are indeed capable. Could you, please, make sure to chase away all the past indifference, ridicule, and contempt you've ever received from your life?”
• The reason Madelyn spoke those words was because she genuinely hoped that Josiah could live a life of brilliance and integrity from then on.
