He felt that she was getting anxious. “Linnie, don't be afraid. I won't let you out of my sight again. Don't be afraid, okay?”Madeline was stunned for a moment. Then, she finally raised her head and met Jeremy's soft eyes that were as gentle as a spring breeze. There seemed to be a flash of clarity in her eyes and suddenly, she had a clear recognition of the man in front of her.“Jeremy? Are you Jeremy?”“Yes, I am Jeremy. I’m your husband, Eveline Montgomery.” Jeremy gave an affirmative answer.Madeline's eyebrows wrinkled slightly as if she was in distress. “Jeremy, I don't seem to recognize you, but I remember that Jeremy is the love of my life.”Jeremy felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle when he heard that. “Linnie…”“Why don't I even recognize the man I love most? Jeremy, will you blame me for this?”“You dummy, why would I blame you?” Jeremy stroked Madeline's worried face before bowing his head and kissing her gently. “You didn't mean to forget me. You’re j
Jeremy noticed something amiss, so he restrained himself and looked back only to see Madeline standing not far behind him with a look of doubt.It was unknown when she followed him here. Plus, there was a possibility that she had heard all the questions asked by these journalists. That would explain why Madeline's expression looked a little off.“Linnie.”Jeremy turned and walked toward her, but at this moment, the group of journalists behind him turned the cameras to Madeline and started asking questions.“Miss Eveline, was Ryan with you when he was shot last night?”“Mrs. Whitman, what is the relationship between you and Ryan?”“The reason why Mr. Whitman shot Ryan was that he was jealous of you being with Ryan, right?”Jeremy was furious when the journalists asked such stupid questions.He turned around swiftly and looked at them with his eyes as sharp as ice knives. “You’re willfully speculating and putting false crimes on people under the guise of pursuing the truth. Just
“Linnie.”“Ah!” Suddenly, Madeline held her head uncomfortably and asked strangely, “Why is this happening? Why?”“Linnie!” Jeremy grabbed her shoulders nervously and looked at her pained look. He also felt his heart aching along with her. “Linnie, don't be too hard on yourself. Don't think about it. Let's go back to the house.”He took Madeline's hand before looking back and reminding Karen. “Call the police. Tell them someone is making trouble in front of our house.”Karen nodded and stared angrily at the panicked journalists. “I'll call them now!”After she said this, these journalists all left one after another.If this was another place, they would not leave even if the police were involved.However, there were at the gates of Whitman Manor and it was not a good idea to provoke Jeremy.However, judging from Madeline's reaction just now, most of them had already thought about what they were going to release next.The madam of the richest and dignified Jones family was actu
Jeremy got nervous as he approached the bathroom for some reason.He was sure that Madeline was in the bathroom, but judging from this strange sound, he did not know what Madeline was doing.Jeremy sped toward the bathroom and pushed the door open.He glanced inside but did not see Madeline. He only heard the sound of water coming from the area where the bathtub was placed.“Linnie?” Jeremy called out Madeline's name and quickly walked in without thinking.As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Jeremy felt something tugging at his heartstrings while he felt every cell in his body was in pain“Linnie!”Jeremy ran over to grab Madeline who was desperately pouring cold water all over herself.She was drenched all over and her short hair was completely wet. Her pale face was also covered with beads of water.“Linnie, what are you doing?” Jeremy snatched the showerhead away and picked her up aggressively.Madeline looked at the nervous and worried man with dull eyes but she
A firm glint appeared in Jeremy's deep eyes. He grabbed Madeline's thin shoulders and wanted to take her back to the room to change.However, Madeline was not obedient. She desperately broke free with a domineering look in her eyes. “I told you to leave me alone. Don't you understand?”“I can ignore anyone in my life, but I just can't ignore you.” Jeremy's aura at the moment was more domineering than Madeline’s.He could not let this continue anymore. However, just as he grabbed Madeline's arm and took a step forward, he suddenly received a firm slap on his face.With a slap, Madeline's palm landed on Jeremy's face heavily.Jeremy was stunned for a while as his handsome face was turned to the side. He was unable to feel the pain on his cheeks, but his heart really hurt.He did not know what he could do for Madeline. The least he could do was calm her down so that she was not as emotional as she was now.However, just when Jeremy was about to recompose himself and continue to com
Seeing this scene, Madeline paused.The scene of Ryan getting shot and collapsing in front of her appeared in front of her eyes once again.The warmth of the blood splashed on her face seemed to be scorching hot on her cheeks.Jeremy obviously felt the sudden drop in temperature of the hand in his palm. It became so cold.“Linnie, are you okay?”Jeremy asked worriedly.Madeline returned to her senses after she heard his voice. She shook her head gently. “I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered that night. He said that he had to take me away, but I just wanted to return to you and then he—”“Eveline Montgomery!”Before Madeline could finish, Mrs. Jones suddenly rushed frantically toward her with red eyes, trying to drag Madeline.Jeremy pulled Madeline into his arms to protect her. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.Mrs. Jones failed to grab Madeline and was infuriated.“Eveline, you fickle b*tch! At the end of the day, Rye became like this because of you! Initially, you thought
After she said that, all eyes fell on Madeline. At the same time, Madeline was also taken aback.Mrs. Jones wiped the tears from her face and asked hurriedly, “Nurse, how’s my son? Will he ever wake up?”“His injuries are too serious and his life is still in danger for the time being. Plus, he doesn't seem to have any desire to survive. He only calls out the name Eveline from time to time.”The nurse looked at Madeline as she said that.“Is this woman Eveline who the patient keeps mentioning?”Madeline nodded. “It’s me.”“Are you a friend of the patient? His will to survive is very weak, but he seems to be unable to let go of you. I don't know if you’d like to go in and help him—”“Did you make a mistake? My son is like this because of this woman. How could he still want to see her?” Mrs. Jones could not accept this fact.When the nurse heard this, she looked at Mrs. Jones in surprise. “Madam, this is about the life and death of the patient. Your son has been calling out to Mis
Madeline and Jeremy also raised their eyes and saw the doctor sighing helplessly. “We’ve tried our best and our hardest, but the patient does not have the will to survive. You need to prepare yourselves.”Upon hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Jones became lifeless.Madeline glanced sideways into the ICU.She thought about the words Ryan said to her before collapsing and the sincere look in his eyes at that time.‘Ryan.‘You haven't atoned for what you have done. Are you really going to give up everything and give up the idea of survival just like this?’“Eveline!”Mrs. Jones' emotional shriek pulled back Madeline's thoughts.She looked back and saw Mrs. Jones rushing to her in a hurry.She thought that Mrs. Jones would vent her anger on her and continue to curse as well as berate her, but she did not expect that the moment Mrs. Jones ran up to her, she had a pleading look on her face. “Eveline, please go in and save Rye! I’m begging you!”Mrs. Jones cried and pleaded, tears
