Nathaniel’s notoriety for his ruthlessness was not baseless, after all.
Sparing Madison had been his greatest act of tolerance.
“I know what needs to be done,” said Sebastian.

When Madison saw him leaving, she spiraled into further insanity. “Nat, don’t abandon me! I’ll die without you!”
Sebastian sighed wearily before pushing the door open and gesturing at everyone.
The tranquilizer gradually took effect in Madison’s body, rendering her incapable of doing anything even without anyone restraining her.
Looking down at Madison, Sebastian said coldly. “Mr. Hadley has left, so there’s no need for you to feign madness any longer. Your pitiful act may work on the foolish members of the Taggart family, but it’s useless against Mr. Hadley and me.”

Second, sacrifice. yourself to protect the entire Taggart family,” Sebastian declared, his face devoid of emotion. “Regardless of your choice, it won’t influence Mr. Hadley’s decision. You sacrificed so much for someone else, yet you gained nothing in return. Don’t you find that pathetic?”
Madison buried her face in the blanket lifelessly.
