Jeremy stared at the group of people who were leaving. Only after the crowd dispersed did he leave the room.He was very clear that even if he recovered, he could never be with Madeline again.The lives of Eloise and Sean would always keep them separated.Their love would not topple the tall wall easily.He also knew that for now, no one could cure the poison developed by Adam. Perhaps Adam himself had no cure for it as well.Jeremy had long ago made up his decision.All alone, he drove his way to Whitman Manor, hoping to bid his last farewell.Madeline was accompanying her three kids back in Whitman Manor. She looked at the time, and it was almost time to head over to the airport to pick up Ava.At that moment, there was a piece of breaking news popping up on her phone's screen.Madeline clicked on the news and looked at it. She saw a few video clips being taken by passersby.The location was at a famous restaurant in the center of town, and in the video, Madeline saw Lana,
Karen suddenly heard Jeremy’s voice. The moment she turned to look at him, he was already like a gusty wind that passed by her at lightning speed. He arrived next to Lillian.Lillian had tripped and was about to land on the big marble floor. However, Lillian fell into the arms of Jeremy instead.The little girl was dumbfounded. While still in a daze, she spun around and looked at the man who had caught hold of her.Jeremy’s eyes were glistening with warmth. He was heartbroken. “Are you alright, Lillian?”He asked, feeling concerned while touching the little girl’s head.He was in excruciating pain thinking back to the moment when he ignored his child who had fallen before him.Lillian looked at Jeremy, but no words came out from her. There was no change in her expression and she just blinked her eyes.Jeremy knew this was because of the incident that occurred previously, which made Lillian have a bad impression of him.In the eyes of the little girl, the handsome mister before
Despite Karen being unhappy about Jeremy's cold behavior, she did not object to his request to carry his child.Jeremy held the infant in his arms, and the next second, the baby revealed a bright smile to him. He let out coos and started to blabber.However, he would soon be unable to witness this innocent smile anymore.Lowering his head, Jeremy gave a kiss on the baby's little face and handed Pudding back to Karen. He then touched Jackson's head and said, "Jack, keep your sister accompany. When your brother is old enough, tell him that I love him and I love all of you as well."Then, heartbroken, he spun around."Jeremy, where are you going off to this time?" Karen pestered.Jackson quickly caught up to Jeremy. "Dad, didn't you just say that you're going to have dinner with us? Aren't you going to wait for Mommy's return?"Jeremy's footstep came to a halt. "I'm not worth your mommy waiting for me again. Jack, from now onward, the man with the name Ryan will be your father."J
The guard stared at Lana, who was laughing like a maniac, with an indifferent look.Jeremy raised his hand to beckon, and that guard spun around to file out the scene.In the custodial ward, only Jeremy and Lana were there.Lana laughed for a moment and suddenly put on a long face, looking rather sorrowful while she stared at the man who appeared indifferent."Jeremy, Jeremy, tell me. The things that happened earlier aren't the truth, right? How is it possible? We’ve gotten so close to each other during this time. We were so happy being together every day. How can you treat me this way?"Jeremy, tell me, why?"Hearing the cries of Lana and looking at her sorrowful self, she made those who did not know about the incident pity her.However, after Jeremy heard her, his gaze became much sterner and sharper.He took big strides and came in front of Lana. His long fingers grasped tightly around Lana's neck while his icy cold gaze was just like a sharp blade. He said, "You still have
Jeremy inched nearer to her and spat out cold comments. “In those cups of coffee that you used to drink every morning, as well as the glass of lukewarm milk I personally handed to you yesterday, I’ve added something special in all of them.”“...”“It’s the exact thing which you added in your cigarettes, as well as the stuff that I ate. The only difference is that I’ve added a larger portion.”“What?!” Lana opened her eyes wide. “You… How did you get your hands on that?”Jeremy’s gaze became sharp. “Have you forgotten what you asked Adam to prescribe to Eveline?”“...” Lana started getting anxious after she heard that statement. “No, it’s impossible! If I had really consumed it, why am I not experiencing any side effects?!”“Of course you won’t because I’ve changed your cigarettes as well.”“...” Jeremy’s answer left Lana dumbfounded.“From now onward, if you don’t smoke those cigarettes, you’ll then slowly start to experience the same thing I went through previously till the da
After Madeline asked that question, she felt her heart beating at an erratic pace.‘That’s a human’s blood.’‘But isn’t human blood supposed to be red? Why is it that color instead?’While still deep in her thought, the analyst answered over the phone, “The thing is, according to our investigation, this blood sample seems to have undergone some mutation. We’ve also found some unknown samples that require further investigations to know what it is.“But there’s no doubt it's human blood,” the forensic physician repeated the last statement in a confident tone.Madeline’s hand that was holding onto the phone stiffened. She then robotically blurted out two words, “Thank you.”After hanging up the call, her mind kept rewinding the phrases spoken by the forensic physician.‘That’s human blood.‘And it's mutated human blood.’Madeline was very confident that the note had been with Jeremy earlier, but she could not be sure whether the blood belonged to Jeremy.‘If it’s really Jeremy’s
Nonetheless, she was clueless about Daniel’s action. Why would he give her a hundred-dollar note?“If you don’t feel like leaving, then keep this hundred-dollar note.” Daniel’s expression was serious.“Getting to know a person till falling in love with each other takes up a lot of energy and time. There’s another option for you, and that is to be with me. From then on, I’ll heed everything you say.” “...”“...”Daniel’s speech left both Madeline and Ava astonished.‘Is Daniel confessing his love or proposing a marriage?’“Ava, I didn’t expect that you and Dan have come to this stage,” Madeline said.“If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t leave. Dan is a good gentleman who you can rely on.”However, Ava was lost and could not believe what was happening. Her heart was thumping fast. “Dan, what are you talking about?”Daniel’s eyes became much more passionate. “Ava, I don’t hope our night that day will turn into a meaningless memory. Perhaps you’ll find it hard to believe in
Madeline was feeling perturbed and kept questioning, but Fabian claimed that speaking through the phone was rather inconvenient. Hence, he invited Madeline out to a place to meet up.In the meantime, Madeline made her leave as she did not want to disturb Ava and Daniel’s quality time together.However, as soon as Madeline left, Ava felt uncomfortable and her heartbeat went erratic. Her face was unusually warm as well.However, Daniel held onto Ava’s hand naturally and walked along the streets with her as if it was nothing to him.Ava felt as though she was in a wonderful dream, but this was only limited to being a spectacular dream and nothing else beyond it.Madeline drove her car to where she was supposed to meet up with Fabian. As soon as she got out of her car, Fabian immediately strolled to her and asked with a stern expression, “Hey, do you know where Jeremy is right now?”“You asked me to come all the way here just to know where Jeremy is?” Madeline was puzzled. “Why are y
