He was the man who made her wait for too long until Ryan was able to torture her into this state.“Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll take you back to wait for Jeremy.” He coaxed her as he was left with no other choice.Tomorrow, he would take her back to Glendale.After all, this was Y Country. This place would not be as comfortable as her hometown.When night fell, Jeremy made a sumptuous dinner by himself. Madeline was satisfied with the meal. She did not resist him as much as before and was willing to eat the shrimp that Jeremy peeled for her.Moreover, there was a small and elegant smile on her face.For a moment, Jeremy also felt that he was content with their current state.She had experienced too many bumps and pains along the way. She only had a handful of happy days.Suddenly, he hoped that she could be as carefree as she was now. He hoped that she would be able to live a carefree and peaceful life with a childlike nature.After nightfall, Jeremy prepared a bath for Madeline b
Jeremy thought he had heard it wrong, but soon after, he heard Madeline calling him again.“Are you there?” she asked. There was no longer the sound of running water coming from inside, so her voice was particularly clear.“You said you'll be keeping watch at the door, but now you’re not answering me when I'm calling you, you liar.”Madeline's complaints fell into Jeremy's ears.He never knew that he would be so happy even after being accused of being a liar.Jeremy did not hesitate anymore. He opened the bathroom door again and walked straight in.Madeline had finished showering and was wearing a loose bathrobe while sitting on the edge of the bathtub.There was still some lingering mist that had not dissipated in the bathroom. Under the hazy mist, Madeline's red face that was covered with water droplets looked like an untainted lotus as it beautifully reflected in Jeremy's pupils.Jeremy would be lying if he said he was not moved, but he could only endure it at this moment.
His low magnetic voice somewhat bewitchingly passed through Madeline's ears like a summer night breeze.Madeline stood still as if she was caught in a trance as she watched the handsome face slowly approach.Jeremy tentatively pecked Madeline on the lips, and just as he expected, Madeline did not dodge him.Jeremy's heart rate started to get irregular. He grabbed Madeline's waist and kissed her again.With her eyes wide open, Madeline let Jeremy take over without a hint of resistance.Jeremy felt a little happy that Madeline was submissive to him.He could feel something. Maybe Madeline did not remember what kind of person Jeremy was, but Madeline still had feelings for him through contact. Therefore, she did not resist him as much as before.Jeremy lay down with Madeline in his arms. He pulled the belt of Madeline's bathrobe, but she suddenly pulled away from him.He opened his eyes to see her looking flustered, and her eyes were full of panic."Linnie, what's the matter?" He
Jeremy's first instinct was to grab Madeline's hand and hold her in his arms.He thought it was Ryan, but he lightened up when he saw the man who entered the apartment.Madeline did not care who it was as she only nervously held Jeremy's hand, her eyes red and watery."Where's your phone? Give it to me. I'll call you an ambulance!" She anxiously rummaged through Jeremy's pockets."There’s no need to call an ambulance. He'll be fine." Adam strode over to Jeremy with his medical kit.Madeline finally seemed to notice that someone had entered. She looked at Adam and was somehow stunned.Adam put down the medical kit and squatted in front of Jeremy.He took a look at Jeremy's condition before quickly taking out a syringe and the reagent before skillfully injecting Jeremy with it.Once again, Jeremy felt the familiar chill seeping through every cell of his body. After a brief period of numbness, the discomfort gradually subsided and his condition eased.Madeline noticed the change
"If it's a secret, how can I tell it to someone else so easily?" Adam did not seem to want to go into detail, but he was not hiding it either. He met Jeremy's inquiring gaze and said truthfully, "Jeremy, if I tell you that I didn't develop this slow-acting poison, would you believe me?" Jeremy would not have believed him if it was before.Now, he answered without hesitation, "Yes."There was a glint in Adam's eye when he got the answer, and gloom appeared on his handsome face."Do you know why I wanted to become a doctor?"Jeremy pondered for a few seconds and said, "It involves your parents, doesn’t it?"Adam was not surprised that Jeremy would have such speculation. "It seems that you’ve checked my background.""I've read up on you and Ryan," Jeremy admitted generously.Adam smiled faintly. He lowered his eyes slightly, and the reflection on his glasses made it hard to see his eyes and expression right now."From the moment I officially became a doctor and took the oath on
Sean was stunned for a moment before chuckling coldly."Are you saying that Lana used you? Hmph, that doesn't take away the fact that you started the fire! Did you forget how obedient you were to Lana? You wouldn't even glance at Eveline!" Sean was mad.At the end of the day, Sean could not forgive Jeremy for his coldness and indifference to Madeline back then."Eveline thought you were dead and cried every night. As her father, I know it full well!"She labored to carry a child for you, but what did you do? Didn't your heart ache when you let that crazy woman make Eveline so mad that she went into early labor and gave birth to Pudding unassisted?"Jeremy furrowed his long eyebrows slightly. 'How could I not be heartbroken?'When he saw her bleeding and suffering, he realized how important she was to him.It was just that he was blinded by the memories Lana had been feeding him."Jeremy, ask yourself how much Eveline loves and cares about you. You said you'd spend the rest of y
Karen was stunned after hearing what Madeline said. "Eveline, what... What are you talking about? This is Jack and Lillian. What's the matter? You don't recognize them?" she asked in disbelief. Her eyes shifted from Madeline's confused face to Jeremy."Jeremy, Eveline..."Jeremy had a distressed frown on her face. "Ryan drove her insane.""What?!" Karen was shocked and instantly furious. "What did Ryan do to Eveline? How could someone be driven insane?"Jeremy frowned deeper. However, for fear of upsetting Madeline, he spoke nothing and told Karen to hold off the questioning.He made Jackson take Lillian away to play on their own while he took Madeline back to their bedroom.When Madeline walked into her and Jeremy's room, the familiar furnishing was unfamiliar to her.However, Madeline seemed to be interested in the room's furnishing. She picked up a photo album next to the bedside table. After opening it, she saw a photo of herself wearing a wedding dress next to a delicate-lo
Old Master Whitman wondered why Karen would suddenly ask about this. He furrowed his gray eyebrows. "Where did you learn about this?"Infuriated, Karen told Old Master Whitman that she just came back from Jones Manor. "The Jones family is unreasonable. Look at what Eveline has become. How dare they say we deserve it?!""We deserve it? Did the Jones family say that?" Old Master Whitman's face darkened. He was visibly displeased.Karen nodded. "How could I joke about something like that? There were a lot of reporters outside and they all heard it."Old Master Whitman's brows furrowed when he heard that. Just as he was about to say something, Jeremy's voice rang."In that case, the media will break the story online soon.""Jeremy." Karen quickly got up and walked over to Jeremy, her eyes full of confusion. "You know about this? What the hell is going on? Why do I have no idea that there’s bad blood between the Whitman family and the Jones family? What do the Whitman family have to d
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
