After Madeline asked that question, flames of hope started burning in Felipe’s heart again.After the dinner, he followed Jeremy out of the gates of Whitman Manor. Then, he suddenly stopped.“I want to know something.” Felipe lifted his gaze. Under the glow of the streetlights, the glint in his eyes was clearly reflected.Jeremy turned around because he had sensed it a long time ago. “I’ll pretend that you’ve surrendered yourself to me and I’ll do my best to buy you more time so that you can get a chance to investigate what’s going on with that woman who looks exactly the same as Cathy.”“Thank you.” Felipe thanked him sincerely. “I want to go take a look at the place where I saw the woman. I’ll come back later.”After he said that, he turned around carefreely. Jeremy stood where he was for a while before turning back to go to the house.Madeline was sitting on the sofa talking to Eloise. Jeremy could tell that Madeline’s emotions and mental state had become much better.He wond
“Hello, who is this? The woman’s pristine and sweet voice glided into Madeline’s ears.Madeline held the phone dumbfoundedly. She could not believe what she just heard.This voice was so familiar. It left quite an impression in the deepest part of her memory.“Cathy?” Madeline asked probingly.“Who?” the woman asked in confusion. It was as if she did not know the name ‘Cathy’.Madeline was also taken aback. When she was about to ask again, it sounded like the phone was handed to someone else. Then, she heard Adam’s voice. “Jeremy? Can I help you?”When Madeline heard Adam’s voice, she hurriedly told him about Jeremy’s situation. “Adam, the slow-acting poison in my husband’s body is acting up again. You must have a way to save him! I’ll send the address to you now. Please come over as soon as possible.”“Got it. I’ll come over right now.” Adam agreed quickly.Madeline thought she sounded courteous enough. When she thought about Adam ganging up with Ryan back then, she only felt
Madeline could not wrap her head around the new information. Plus, she also remembered the woman who picked up Adam’s phone just now.“Adam, do you have a girlfriend now?” Madeline probed.After she said that, Madeline saw Adam slightly taken aback. On the other hand, Jeremy also looked at Adam curiously.“Linnie, why did you ask that?”“It’s nothing. When I called Adam just now, a woman picked up his phone and I think I know that voice from somewhere,” Madeline explained with a smile. She looked extremely calm right now. “Adam, is that woman someone we know?”“No, she’s not.” Adam quickly denied it but then, he admitted a little, “However, she’s indeed my girlfriend.”He said and looked at the time. “I have to go now. My girlfriend is timid and feels unsafe being home alone at night.”Adam said before turning around to leave.After Madeline walked him to the door, she quickly went back to the room.She took a towel to wipe the sweat away from Jeremy’s forehead. She had some f
“That time?” Madeline got closer to Jeremy in curiosity. “Jeremy, do you know the relationship between Adam and Cathy?”“I’m not sure.” Jeremy shook his head lightly. However, there was a look of joy in his narrow eyes. “Linnie, if that’s the case, Cathy might really be alive. Adam is not an ordinary doctor. He has the ability to make Cathy live.”Madeline’s heart started beating faster. “It’ll be great if Cathy is still alive.”She beamed and circled her arms around the man. ‘Jeremy, it was so difficult for us to get the chance to start over. I really hope that Cathy and Felipe would have this chance too.”“As long as Cathy is still alive, I think Felipe will be happy even if they don’t have a chance to start over.”“Yeah,” Madeline replied and leaned against Jeremy’s chest.Madeline felt as if she was free from anxiety when she indulged in the warmth and strong support of the man’s chest.The next day, Madeline wanted to tell Felipe about the possibility of Cathy still being a
Now, Mrs. Jones was even more unhappy. “Why can he go in but I can’t go in to see my son?”“Mr. Whitman is from Interpol’s Internal Investigation Unit and he’s the senior agent who’s looking into your son’s case. So tell me if you think he can go in?”“...” Mrs. Jones had nothing to say, so she could only back away.However, the longer she waited, the more frustrated she became. After thinking about it, she went out to make a call.Inside the room.Ryan was like a lifeless statue as he stared emotionlessly at the man who was walking toward him.“I want to see Eveline, not you,” Ryan said. It was as if he had exerted a lot of force before he could say that sentence.Jeremy’s gaze scanned across Ryan’s face coldly. “Do you think you’re worthy to see my wife now?”Ryan lifted his gaze, and his tone was still filled with hostility toward Jeremy. “She’s the one who woke me, so she has the responsibility to finish what she wanted to say to me.”“Ryan, do you really think that my wif
Ryan took the letter in his hand and his eyes scanned the familiar handwriting. Each and every word was reflected in his eyes clearly. “I-Impossible…”Ryan’s breathing started to become erratic.He grabbed the old letter and read the words on it again. However, no matter how he read it, those words would not change.“No, Grandpa wouldn’t do something like that…”Ryan could not accept this. His pale and dried lips started mumbling repeatedly. His gray eyes were also filled with endless loss.“Ryan, I know it’s hard for you to accept this but it’s the truth,” Jeremy parted his lips and emphasized calmly.“Impossible!” Ryan used all of his strength to roar out that word. In the next second, he clutched at his heart with a pained expression.Jeremy could see the changes in the data on the equipment and he knew Ryan must have been triggered. However, he did not feel sorry for him.In his mind, Ryan was only like this today because he brought this upon himself.Being able to wake
“If you think you can help Ryan get away with his crimes like this, then you’re seriously even more naive than my son and daughter.”A bright and pristine voice sounded suddenly from the noisy crowd.Jeremy’s racing heart became filled with joy when he heard this voice. He lifted his head and saw Madeline elegantly walking toward him while pushing the crowd away.The journalists pointed their cameras at Madeline using this opportunity. Then, they started questioning.“Mrs. Whitman, are you trying to say something on behalf of Mr. Whitman by appearing at this moment?”“What’s your relationship with Ryan Jones?”“I heard that your mental state isn’t the best at the moment and someone even said that you’re a half-wit now, so are you—”“Do you guys think I look like an idiot or a lunatic?” Madeline walked to Jeremy before turning around. Then, she faced the cameras confidently. “I didn’t come here to say anything on anyone’s behalf. I just hope this matter will come to an end soon.”
This sudden act of robbery caused Madeline to be at a loss.She lifted her head to see a shifty-eyed reporter snatching away the letter to take a look.However, if the contents of the letter were exposed, the destruction of the Jones family’s reputation would be nothing compared to disturbing the departed spirit of Old Master Jones.Madeline ran up to snatch the letter back when she saw that the reporter was about to read out the contents of the letter without permission. However, when she was about to do it, Mr. Jones instantly charged up to him like a lion that had been enraged. He grabbed the reporter’s collar and ordered through gritted teeth, “Give me back the letter!”The reporter was shocked. However, at the same time, he knew he was holding an important piece of news, so he could not let go of it.“Give it back to him.”Suddenly, Jeremy’s voice sounded neither too quickly nor too slowly. Even though his tone was unperturbed, his aura was enough to make the reporter feel a
