Madeline had a calm expression. “Mr. Whitman, please leave after you finish eating, it would be best if you stop coming back from now on.”Jeremy smiled as he said, “Madeline, why do you need to pretend you want me away from you? You were so into it when I kissed you during the day!”“Don’t mention that anymore!” Madeline said, losing control of herself for a moment. “Jeremy Whitman, you’ve disappointed me too much.”“So what? It won’t change the fact that you love me.”Madeline was so angry she felt like exploding. Her heart hurt, and so did her stomach.“I loved you once, but now, even being touched by you disgusts me!”Hearing those words, the food in Jeremy’s mouth stopped tasting good. He put down his utensils, getting up, and walking toward Madeline.Madeline felt something was wrong, so she turned around to leave. However, Jeremy was much faster, with both his hands, he pinned her against the wall. Madeline did not dare look at Jeremy, but he bent his head, deliberately
Madeline struggled to breathe, her face red as she forced a smile. “Slander? Jeremy, do you know what slander truly is?”“Jeremy, when you were dreaming in the afternoon, did you not dream of our dead child? Has your consciousness never hurt for it?” Madeline looked at the man that had a conflicted expression.“That child was not mine.” He said through clenched teeth, his eyes coldly gazing at Madeline, but there was a sliver of doubt in them.Madeline laughed, her tears dropping on Jeremy’s hands. Jeremy suddenly felt it was abnormally hot, burning him until he let go of Madeline’s throat. He uncomfortably avoided Madeline's case, starting the car.“If you don’t want to die, then stop provoking me.”Madeline inhaled deeply, not speaking again.At least for the moment, she really did not want to die. She wanted to live until Meredith’s true face was revealed. Madeline was forcefully brought to the hospital by Jeremy. Meredith was in the VIP ward, and Madeline could vaguely he
Her heart had long since been hurt so much that it could never recover again, but now, these people still wanted to continue hurting her. Eloise turned around, shooting a hateful gaze at Madeline. “Madeline! Just look at what you’ve done to Meredith. Jeremy was Meredith’s fiancé, but you used despicable means to snatch him away. Now, you even called Meredith with Jeremy’s phone and said those shameless things to hurt her! Do you have no shame?!”Madeline finally understood what was going on. Meredith plotted this suicide scheme during the phone call she received when Jeremy was having a fever.Madeline pursed her lips while smiling at Meredith. “Meredith, just keep on lying. Aren’t you just hoping that Jeremy and I will get a divorce so that you, the mistress, can take my spot? Isn’t that why you did this? Then listen to me. Even if I die, I’ll keep holding onto the title of Mrs. Whitman!”The moment she finished those words, Madeline received a slap from Eloise.“Shameless!” she
Madeline looked at Jeremy’s determined promise to Meredith. It was just a few simple words, but they caused Madeline boundless pain.It would seem like they were only suited to leave each. Madeline slowly teared up. She saw Meredith looking at Jeremy with a face full of tears. “Jeremy, are you telling the truth? Will you really marry me?”Jeremy looked at her tenderly. “Of course, it’s true. I’ll definitely fulfil my promise.”“Jeremy, we finally won’t have to hide our love...” Meredith hugged Jeremy tightly, crying into his chest.She turned her face around, showing Madeline a sly and evil look.Beside them, Eloise was elated. She then shot a hateful glance at Madeline.Her suffering and pain threatened to spill out as Madeline clenched her fists. She turned to leave.Jeremy noticed that Madeline was leaving and looked over. He gently pushed Meredith aside, looking like he was going to leave.Meredith pulled onto his shirt. “Jeremy, are you reluctant to leave Madeline?” “N
As she said that, Jeremy’s exquisite face seemed to freeze. His eyes glared piercingly at her. “Madeline, what did you say? What’s the meaning of this?”Thinking that she would be dead soon and remembering her laughable wish that she had held onto for over ten years, Madeline’s eyes reddened as she smiled at Jeremy. “What I mean is, I won’t let that fake b*tch Meredith get what she wants. Even if I die, I’ll bring the title of Mrs. Whitman with me!” Madeline’s red eyes widened, her tears falling against her wishes.“Jeremy, even if you’re disgusted with me and hate me, it’ll never change the fact that I am your wife!” Saying that, Madeline felt excruciating pain in her heart.A lifetime’s worth of her love and passion had been poured onto him. It started with love, and it was now going to end because of love. Now, their love had soured, and everything was going up in smoke. However, why did her heart still hurt so much?Was death the only escape she could have from her pain?
Madeline widened her eyes in shock. “Why did you say that?”Felipe looked at her, dispirited. Then, he parted his lips slightly before stopping himself from saying what he wanted to say.“Nothing. I just think it’s a great pity.”Pity?Madeline felt that something was amiss, but she did not ask any more questions.Some words would be said when the time was right. He might find her annoying if she kept asking.In the end, she opened the door and invited Felipe in.“I heard about Brittany. I believe that it has nothing to do with you. You’re not someone who’s cruel and cold-blooded.”Madeline was touched that Felipe was always so trusting of her. He took a sip of his warm tea and looked at Madeline’s pale face.“I’ll keep your resignation letter. You can go back to work anytime you want.”“Thank you for your trust and kindness, Mr. Whitman. However, I think I don’t have the chance to go back anymore.” Madeline smiled bitterly.“You can come back anytime as long as you want to.
Madeline stayed silent and muttered to herself irresolutely.She had at least a month left.A month was enough for her to take the evidence to the police and report that Meredith had killed someone.After she left the hospital, Daniel took her on an aimless car ride around the city center. Toward the end of their trip, he stopped next to a food truck.Daniel looked at Madeline with a gentle and soft smile on his handsome face. “Maddie, will you have tacos with hot sauce with me again this time?”Madeline felt surprised. However, when she saw the glistening tears in Daniel’s eyes, she sensed something.Did he already know that she did not have much time to live?Madeline did not think too much into it. She smiled and nodded. “Of course. And not just this time, we’ll have lots of chances in the future.”“Really?” Daniel looked at her expectantly.“Yeah, really,” Madeline replied confidently.Madeline accompanied Daniel as he ate tacos with hot sauce by the food truck. They star
Madeline was so petrified that her face had turned pale. She wanted to run, but she was trapped.Jeremy pinched her cheek and forced her to look at him.She kept shaking her head as she struggled. “No! Jeremy, don’t touch me! Let go!”“You were so happy when Daniel kissed you, but now you’re so reluctant when I touch you?”Looking at Madeline’s conflicting and resisting gaze, Jeremy’s face was grim while his eyes were extremely icy.“Madeline, look closely. I’m your husband.” His deep and seductive voice sounded next to Madeline’s ear. In the next second, she felt him biting her shoulder.“I don’t want this, Jeremy!”She knew what he was going to do to her, and it made her so scared that even her bones were shaking.However, it was as if the man was possessed. He ripped her clothes garment by garment before devouring her viciously.Madeline fell asleep groggily. She had a dream that she had gone back to the happiest time of her life.However, when she woke up, the reality was
