Ryan thought that Madeline’s behavior was out of the blue. He followed her and saw her calling someone. Then, in the next second, he heard her asking the person on the other end of the phone, “Dr. Gordon, I’m Eveline Montgomery. Can I ask you what’s the blood type of the blood sample you tested previously?”Ryan heard Madeline asking this hurriedly.He did not know what answer the person on the other end told Madeline. He only saw Madeline letting out a sigh of relief.It was as if she had gotten the answer she wanted.After she hung up, Ryan saw that Madeline was obviously more relaxed now.She then continued preparing dinner for both of them. Then, they sat down and had their dinner quietly.Ryan had feelings for Madeline and genuinely liked her. However, Ryan also knew that Madeline only admired him.This whole time, she only had Jeremy in her heart.Since she still loved that man, that was why she was still in pain.After dinner, Madeline went to take a shower after talkin
The moment Daniel saw Ava, there was a stunned look in his eyes.“You look so beautiful today,” Daniel praised.Ava felt her face heating up. She was feeling bashful but pretended to not care. “You’re saying I was ugly back then?”Daniel explained quickly as his face turned bright red, “Of course, I didn’t mean that. I was just saying that you look more beautiful than usual.”Ava turned her face away and was pleased with herself. She had never felt this kind of feeling before.After she got into the passenger seat, Ava carefully looked Daniel up and down from the corners of her eyes as he drove.The man’s side profile looked brilliant. He looked gentle and soft-spoken, but at the same time, there was still the same youthful look on his face as back then.When the light turned red, Daniel stopped the car and turned his head.Ava did not have time to avert her gaze before she met Daniel’s smiling eyes.“You’ve been staring for quite a while.”“...”“That night in the hotel—”
What a coincidence.Someone was wearing the exact same dress as her.Even though it was not a bad thing to wear the same outfit as another person, the uglier one of the two would feel awkward. However, this was not about appearance. The problem was that this dress was a brand’s limited fall edition and there was only one in the entire world. Now, they were wearing the same dress. This could only mean that one of them was wearing a fake.Ava knew where her dress came from. When she noticed that the girl was not looking at her, she contemplated before letting go of Daniel’s hand and turning around.“Where are you going?” Daniel asked curiously.When Old Master Graham heard Daniel’s voice, he looked over while he was talking with a group of people.“Dan is back.” Daniel’s mother beamed as she walked over. “Dan, didn’t you say you’re going to pick up a friend? Where are they?”Daniel grabbed Ava who was trying to bolt and introduced, “It’s her. Her name is Ava Long.”When Mrs. Gr
Mrs. Graham did not even hold back as she berated Ava in front of everybody.Ava did not want to argue with her. When she lifted her head, she caught a glimpse of Naya peering at her in contempt.Daniel did not stay quiet as well. He defended Ava immediately, saying, “Mom, you’re too much. My girlfriend can wear anything and still be my girlfriend.”“Dan, do you want to infuriate your grandpa today?” Mrs. Graham looked down on Ava. “The only woman in Glendale who’s worthy of being your girlfriend is Naya.”Mrs. Graham looked at Ava arrogantly. “Miss Long, where did you graduate from? What do you work as? How much money do you make in a month? Do you have a house or a car?”Ava looked into Mrs. Graham’s snobbish eyes and smiled. “I graduated from Glendale University and I’m an interior designer. As for my salary—”“Alright, I’ve heard enough,” Mrs. Graham interrupted. “Interior designers won’t make over seven digits a year even if they work to death. However, do you know how much
After the woman heard that, she did not know what to say. When she recalled what she had done, she felt her face heating up.At this moment, the doorbell rang. Ava did not want to spend any more time with the woman, so she went and opened the door.After she opened the door, she saw that it was Madeline.“Maddie, why are you looking for me here?” Ava was surprised.Madeline felt relieved when she saw Ava. “Dan said you switched off your phone, so he got worried about you. Since I was just around the area, I dropped by to check on you.”“Ava, you have a friend here. I guess I should go back now.” The woman did not force Ava anymore. Then, she left after glancing at Madeline.Madeline had guessed that the woman from the airport last time was Ava’s mother, but she did not expect it to be true.She had known Ava for so many years and this whole time, she thought Ava was an orphan like her.When she asked about Ava’s family, she would only brush it off with a smile as if she did not
AB.Madeline felt her vision turning dark.This whole time, she had been suspecting whether the blood belonged to Jeremy, but when she found out the blood type was A, she felt relieved.However, she did not expect that after the mutation of the genes, even the blood type would change.Jeremy’s blood type was AB.Madeline felt uneasy. She felt as if someone was stabbing her heart repeatedly.“Miss Montgomery, where did you get this blood sample from? According to our research, if this person doesn’t get treatment immediately, he’ll die when the poison in his body reaches stage five.”The word ‘die’ felt like a knife penetrating Madeline’s heart.She did not have any injuries, but the excruciating pain was spreading throughout her body.Even though everything was just a hunch, the pain in her heart told her that her hunch was right.After she left the lab, Madeline started spacing out. She called Ryan to ask him where he was.After he received her call, he could feel that some
After he said that, he hung up the phone.When Madeline called him again, his phone was switched off.Madeline started sobbing and sniffling when she saw the darkened screen.She felt a thorn stabbing deep inside her heart. She could not see it, but it was making her bleed profusely.Ryan held Madeline gently. He did not know what he could say to make her feel better. Perhaps nothing he could say would ever comfort the hurt in her heart.Madeline cried for a long while, but she could not soothe the bone-piercing pain in her heart no matter what.She tried to control her tears and emotions as she removed herself from Ryan’s arms. “Rye, I know it’s not fair to do this to you, but I hope you can give me some time. I want to find him, and if he’s really incurable, then please let me spend the rest of his life with him.”Ryan smiled softly and wiped away Madeline’s tears gently.“Actually, the biggest reason I married you is to protect you,” he said honestly, “I know who you truly l
Jeremy had rented a homestay near the beach of April Hill. This entire time, he had been staying there alone.Every morning, he would repeatedly read all of the messages Madeline sent him during this period. Then, he would go to look at the sea and recall the time when his relationship with Madeline started.When he thought back to the past, everything was still fine. The only thing that was not fine was how his body was getting weaker and weaker.Madeline stayed overnight in the mansion alone.After she woke up, her heart started aching again after she looked at the man in the photo.She went to look for Ryan to try to know more about Jeremy’s condition.She tried to control her emotions as she asked Ryan, “Rye, where did the poison in Jeremy’s body come from? You should know, right?”Ryan did not hide it from her. He said frankly, “It’s Lana. When he lost his memories, Lana filled Jeremy with memories that did not belong to him. She would give him cigarettes every day. The slo
