Madeline shut the album and ran toward the door suddenly.When she got out of the door, she expected to see Jeremy but did not see anything at all.Then, she heard a noise from the front door. When she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure.Madeline’s eyes lit up as she chased after the person.“Jeremy!”She would not have mistaken him.There was no other figure in the world that would make her heart race like this.Then, she remembered what she saw at the door of Jeremy’s office that day.The man who was entangled with Lana that day was not Jeremy.She had been tricked.It was just an illusion that Jeremy wanted her to see.He did everything so that she would hate and resent him!Madeline felt heartbroken when she thought about this.She ran out of the door and saw the figure running toward the road. Therefore, she started chasing behind him.Jeremy did not drive as he did not want Madeline to notice him. Now, he could only run to the road in hopes that
She sensed that Jeremy would never turn around to look at her again.Perhaps this was their last encounter ever.She hoped that he could hear her telling him how much she loved him. Her love was able to overweigh the hatred and resentment she had for him back then. Now all that remained was deep passion.Jeremy looked at the figure in the rain that was slowly disappearing from the rear-view mirror. Then, he finally vomited the blood that he had been holding in this entire time.Looking at the red liquid on the tissue, he leaned against the seat in exhaustion as his eyes started to look dazed.‘Linnie, I heard you.‘Thank you for not letting me leave this world with regrets.’He curled the corner of his pale lips and lifted his left hand to look at the wedding ring that had returned to his ring finger once again.Through his tears, he saw the ring dazzling under the dim light.It was as if he could see the day he met Madeline through the sparkle. That day, she had crashed into
Jeremy felt his heart skip a beat as he lifted his head to look at Madeline.However, she was not awake. She only grabbed his hand subconsciously, yet she was still so strong.“Jeremy, don’t leave me again…” she said in her sleep. She had no idea he was next to her.Jeremy grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand. There were so many deep emotions on his handsome face.“Linnie, no matter where I go, you’ll always be my only one.”Jeremy sat on the side of the bed and looked at the sleeping face in satisfaction.He fed Madeline an antipyretic. After that, he just stayed and watched her silently.He stayed there for the entire afternoon. When he felt that her forehead was no longer as hot, Jeremy tested her temperature and noticed that her fever had indeed gone down.He was feeling much relieved and decided to leave.He took out a jewelry box from his pocket. Then, after he placed it down, he looked intensely at Madeline.“Linnie, goodbye. Don’t miss me,” he said before
Naomi tried to flatter Ryan using this opportunity.“Rye, let’s get back together, okay? I’m the one who truly loves you.”With Naomi incessantly pestering Ryan, he eventually lost his hold on Madeline.Madeline ran out the door and into the autumn wind and rain. “Jeremy, Jeremy!”She yelled at the vast emptiness in front of her. “If you can’t let me go, then why did you hide from me? Do you think I won’t be in any hurt if you hide from me?”Jeremy was standing around the corner and was glad that it was raining.At least Madeline would not be able to pick up on his scent.Ryan ran over and picked Madeline up by the waist when he saw her dressed so thinly while standing in the rain.“Eveline, calm down.” Ryan comforted her as he held the struggling Madeline before bringing her back inside.Naomi could not stand how much Ryan cared for Madeline. As such, she barged in front of them to stop them.“Madeline, you homewrecker! You seduced my fiancé! Rye was initially my boyfriend!”
Jeremy did not forget how Lana wanted to exchange this information with him as well, but he did not care.Now, he only wanted the people who destroyed his relationship with Madeline to disappear from this world.Looking at Naomi’s face that was getting purple, he suddenly recalled Madeline’s words she said in a distressed voice in his head, “Jeremy, stop making mistakes again.”‘No, Linnie. I won’t make the same mistakes again.‘If you don’t like me doing anything that goes over the limit, then I won’t.’Naomi was about to stop breathing. At that moment, she thought she was on her way to see God when Jeremy let go of his hand.Naomi lay on the ground and wheezed. She lifted her head, and when she saw the man who was towering over her like Satan, she curled herself up into a ball.“I-I’ll stop causing trouble for Eveline. P-Please, let me go, Mr. Whitman…”Jeremy looked at Naomi who was trembling violently with a malicious yet indifferent look. “What did Lana tell you?”Naomi g
When Lillian saw Fabian, a smile blossomed on her beautiful face.Even though she did not say anything, her body language showed that she wanted to get close to Fabian.Madeline let go of her hand and Lillian jogged over to get close to Fabian.Fabian squatted and carried the adorable little girl. “Lily, did you miss me?”Lillian nodded her head lightly.Fabian felt his heart getting warmer when he saw the innocent face.Madeline was not against Fabian. She thought this scene in front of her looked pretty heartwarming as well.She could see Fabian’s concern and care for Lillian.He used to be frivolous, but now, it seemed that he had changed a great deal.“Fabian, are you here for me?” Madeline asked.Fabian nodded. He did not mind the little girl in his arms playing with his hair.“Lana will be punished soon. However, she refuses to admit that she’s the one who set the fire in Montgomery Manor. She insists that Jeremy was the one who set the fire. The police in F Country co
The wind in the early winter was so bone-piercing. It felt as if it was laced with brambles as it wrapped around her wounded heart, intensifying her pain.Madeline reached out a shaky hand to grab the card Ken was handing to her.When she got it in her hand, she felt as if she had touched Jeremy’s cold fingertips.“When did this happen?” she suppressed her sadness and asked calmly.“Today is the 49th day,” Ken answered and looked at the grave in front of him before sighing.“The reason Mr. Whitman chose this place and the reason why the tombstone is shorter is that he was sorry about what happened to your parents. So, upon his death, he’ll use such a petty manner to kneel to them in hopes he can repent his sins to your parents.”Madeline could not hold in her tears anymore after she heard that. Tears started rolling down her cheeks and onto the card in her hand.Lillian frowned when she noticed Madeline crying. She got closer to Madeline to hold Madeline’s hand as if she was try
After reading the letter, Madeline was sobbing uncontrollably.She lifted her red and teary eyes to look at the nameless grave before touching it.“How could I forget you?”She smiled while tears rolled down her eyes. The cold wind grazed her body, and she felt something shattering from within her.Suddenly, she got up and ran in front of Eloise and Sean’s grave before kneeling with a thud.“Mom, Dad, please forgive Jeremy, please…”Madeline pleaded sadly. Lillian had no idea why Madeline was crying so sadly. However, she also ran over and knelt like her mother.The two of them knelt in front of the graves facing the cold wind of winter. One of them was crying while the other was comforting.The man in the black car at the entrance of the cemetery lifted his lifeless eyes to look at the scene far away from him. Then, he averted his gaze.“Let’s go.”The car started and disappeared into the empty road.…After leaving the cemetery, Madeline had completely forgotten to take L
