Karen suddenly heard Jeremyâs 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.Jeremyâs eyes were glistening with warmth. He was heartbroken. âAre you alright, Lillian?âHe asked, feeling concerned while touching the little girlâs 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? Weâve 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. âIn 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, Iâve added something special in all of them.ââ...ââItâs the exact thing which you added in your cigarettes, as well as the stuff that I ate. The only difference is that Iâve added a larger portion.ââWhat?!â Lana opened her eyes wide. âYou⊠How did you get your hands on that?âJeremyâs gaze became sharp. âHave you forgotten what you asked Adam to prescribe to Eveline?ââ...â Lana started getting anxious after she heard that statement. âNo, itâs impossible! If I had really consumed it, why am I not experiencing any side effects?!ââOf course you wonât because Iâve changed your cigarettes as well.ââ...â Jeremyâs answer left Lana dumbfounded.âFrom now onward, if you donât smoke those cigarettes, youâll 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.âThatâs a humanâs blood.ââBut isnât human blood supposed to be red? Why is it that color instead?âWhile still deep in her thought, the analyst answered over the phone, âThe thing is, according to our investigation, this blood sample seems to have undergone some mutation. Weâve also found some unknown samples that require further investigations to know what it is.âBut thereâs no doubt it's human blood,â the forensic physician repeated the last statement in a confident tone.Madelineâs hand that was holding onto the phone stiffened. She then robotically blurted out two words, âThank you.âAfter hanging up the call, her mind kept rewinding the phrases spoken by the forensic physician.âThatâs human blood.âAnd it's mutated human blood.âMadeline was very confident that the note had been with Jeremy earlier, but she could not be sure whether the blood belonged to Jeremy.âIf itâs really Jeremyâs
Nonetheless, she was clueless about Danielâs action. Why would he give her a hundred-dollar note?âIf you donât feel like leaving, then keep this hundred-dollar note.â Danielâs expression was serious.âGetting to know a person till falling in love with each other takes up a lot of energy and time. Thereâs another option for you, and that is to be with me. From then on, Iâll heed everything you say.â â...ââ...âDanielâs speech left both Madeline and Ava astonished.âIs Daniel confessing his love or proposing a marriage?ââAva, I didnât expect that you and Dan have come to this stage,â Madeline said.âIf thatâs the case, then you shouldnât leave. Dan is a good gentleman who you can rely on.âHowever, Ava was lost and could not believe what was happening. Her heart was thumping fast. âDan, what are you talking about?âDanielâs eyes became much more passionate. âAva, I donât hope our night that day will turn into a meaningless memory. Perhaps youâll 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 Danielâs 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 Avaâs 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, âHey, do you know where Jeremy is right now?ââYou asked me to come all the way here just to know where Jeremy is?â Madeline was puzzled. âWhy are y
Madeline stood up abruptly. âJeremy was here? When? Why did he come here?ââWhen you went out just now. He came the moment you left.â Karen looked troubled. âHe only stayed for a few minutes. He didnât react no matter how Jack chased after him and called out to him.âWhen Madeline heard this, she felt an excruciating pain in her heart.She also understood why Jackson looked so down.It was because of his heartlessness and indifference.âJeremy was really brainwashed by Lana. Not only did he do that to you, but heâs now even ignoring his own flesh and blood. Look, Jack fell and scraped his knee. As a father, he didnât even feel upset about it.âMadeline felt worse the more she heard about it. She walked back to Jackson and rolled his pants up. When she saw the bandage on the little guyâs knee, she clenched her fist and walked to one side to call Jeremy.She did not expect him to pick up so fast. Then, Madeline heard the sound of the wind but Jeremy was not saying anything.âJere
