Screech!Jeremy suddenly slammed on the brake pedal. At the eleventh hour, before he lost his consciousness, he parked the motorcycle beside a paddy field that almost no people would pass by and used up his entire strength to carry Madeline down safely.Madeline felt that something was weird when she heard the sudden ear-piercing sound of the brakes.However, to her astonishment, the moment she stepped down, Jeremy suddenly started coughing vigorously. His face became extremely pale."What's wrong, Jeremy?!" Madeline hugged him anxiously.Jeremy did not want Madeline to witness his suffering and embarrassing appearance, so he gently pushed her away."Stay away from me, Linnie," he said as he spun around. Not even after two steps, he placed his hand on a big tree beside the road to support himself weakly."Jeremy!" Madeline could not ditch him. She ran to Jeremy and hugged him. "What's going on, Jeremy? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell me!"Madeline felt as if her heart was
Madeline raised her teary eyes and looked ahead where Jeremy was staring at.Under the sunlight, the sound of ocean waves came traveling into her ears. She could sniff out the saltiness of the ocean, which was the scent of summer.It was April Hill—the place where they first met and became a pair."Linnie, I hope in my next life, I'll still be able to hold your hand and chase you around on this beach. At that time, I'll always keep your looks in my mind and will never mistake you for someone else. I'll never let you endure those unnecessary humiliations again."Madeline burst into tears and buried her face in the crook of Jeremy's neck when she heard the man's anticipating and apologetic comments. "Jeremy, I don't wish for your next life. I only want you in this life."As she was talking, she suddenly put on a serious look. "Jeremy, I'll never let anything happen to you!"The moment Jeremy heard her comment, it made him recall the night at the hospital when Madeline once said som
As he said that, he started walking faster to the beach to throw away the bottles.Madeline grabbed him, then ran in front of him. “Jeremy, I’m not just your woman. I’m also your wife! Do you understand? I’m your wife! So what if I sacrifice a little for my husband? I don’t feel aggrieved doing so. I think it’s worth it!” she yelled at him hysterically, her breathing turning extremely shaky.Jeremy looked into Madeline’s red eyes and clenched his fists. One could even hear cracking sounds coming from his knuckles.“Jeremy, if you dare to throw the anti-toxoid test reagents into the sea, I’ll jump into the sea in front of you!”“Linnie!”“If you dare to do it, then I’ll dare to jump!” Madeline’s eyes were stern. “To me, nothing is more important than the anti-toxoid test reagents right now!”Jeremy saw the determination in Madeline’s eyes.Madeline had already expected Jeremy to have such a drastic reaction, so that was why she never told him. However, she could not hide from him
Jeremy was right. However, since Madeline had been restricted by Ryan for too long, she was a little lost. She did not know how to take action on her own accord and reclaim her sovereignty.“Linnie, hold on tight.” She heard Jeremy’s confident voice saying.Madeline held onto him. “Jeremy, you were in so much pain just now. Can you still ride?”“I wasn’t in pain because I was riding.” Jeremy knew his body.“Then, what was it? Jeremy, can you tell me where you went and what you experienced in those six months?”Jeremy was slightly taken aback when she mentioned this topic again.He did not answer her. On the contrary, he turned the handle and started the bike.…Ryan indeed went back to Interpol’s headquarters. After talking to the higher-ups, he even told the leader of the bureau that Jeremy had committed murder in Glendale and that they should sack him. Other than that, he advised them to help the police in Glendale to arrest Jeremy as well.The higher-ups said they would tak
There were no police outside the room where Lana was murdered.Jeremy looked around, and after making sure it was safe, he grabbed Madeline’s hand before going into the room.“Jeremy, the door is locked. How are we going to get in?” Madeline was feeling worried when she saw Jeremy taking out a multipurpose key card to open the door.Perhaps Lana lost too much blood that day, so even though a few days had passed, Madeline could still smell the stench of blood.Madeline saw the spot where Lana died while looking at the winding trail of blood.After closing the curtains, Jeremy turned on the lights to start looking for evidence with Madeline.Madeline knew that Ryan was trying to frame Jeremy when he asked her to the cafe to take the reagents while calling Jeremy to come here to the hotel.The staff who appeared all of a sudden was also arranged by Ryan.Ryan had ordered some food to this room beforehand, so after Jeremy came in, the staff became a coincidental witness.At the sa
Jeremy stopped walking. Then, he looked at the smiling woman with his soft gaze.He could guess what was going on. His brows started furrowing together as his expression became heavy as well.“No.” He rejected her.Madeline smiled mischievously. “I haven’t told you what it is.”“I know what you want to say.” There was a smart glint in Jeremy’s eyes. “Linnie, I said no.”He emphasized again, his expression looking even more solemn.The smile on Madeline’s face started fading away. “Jeremy, let me do something for you. I’m your wife. I can’t bear to watch my husband being framed.”Jeremy walked in front of Madeline. “It’s because you’re my wife that I can’t let you risk yourself like this.”“I want to.”“But I don’t.”“…”Madeline did not know what to say. Once again, she felt that the person in the world who was more stubborn than her was Jeremy.She left the hotel with him with no choice. They wanted to go back to the manor to visit their children, but they knew someone wou
He slid his finger across the screen, and before he said anything, he heard Madeline saying in a domineering and overbearing voice, “Ryan, I want to see you.”“Now?” Ryan looked at the time and saw that it was two in the morning.“Yes, now. I want to see you.” Madeline’s tone was firm.Ryan was curious, so he agreed. “Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”“No, I’ll go to you.”Ryan felt that this was getting more and more interesting. He said profoundly, “Come to our room, then. I’ll wait for you.”Their room?Madeline clenched her fists and felt waves of resentment along with repulsion crashing within her. However, she absolutely needed to do this tonight.After she hung up, Ryan looked at Madeline’s name on his phone’s display screen and had some guesses in his heart.He knew that because of Jeremy, Madeline was also wanted by the police. Her crime was helping a murderer to abscond.However, at this moment, Madeline was here for him.After more than ten minutes, Ryan went back
Ryan was shocked by Madeline’s answer and the brash confidence in her eyes.At the moment, he felt as if he had been overwhelmed by frustration.Jeremy furrowed his sword-shaped brows and looked at Madeline who was calm and collected.He had never seen such boldness in a woman before.On the other hand, this was the exact boldness that attracted him to Madeline even though she was a divorcee who already had children of her own.Feelings were strange. One could not make sense of them, but at the same time, one would be controlled by them.However, Ryan’s biggest goal right now was to get rid of Jeremy.Would he give up on such a great opportunity for a woman?No.Ryan smirked without a trace.He could kill two birds with one stone, and he would be able to execute it perfectly too.Jeremy needed to die, but he wanted Eveline too.“Ryan, what do you think? Are you saving my husband?” Madeline broke the silence and asked.Ryan lifted the corners of his lips. There was admirati
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
