Madeline peered coldly at Ryan who was about to chase up to her. “Freedom.”She said decisively and suddenly, she reached her long legs over the railing of the deck.Ryan felt his heart sink. “Eveline!” He reached out his arm to grab her, but Madeline had made up her mind. She did not hesitate before jumping into the vast ocean.“Eveline!”Ryan had turned pale from fright. He did not expect Madeline to do this.However, this was not strange if he really thought about it.She was always unyielding and tenacious.Her body quickly sank into the ocean as a layer of white ripples appeared over the area where she jumped down.Ryan widened his eyes in horror before he saw Madeline’s head bobbing out from the ripples. The worry and terror in his heart were slightly alleviated.Madeline continued swimming without turning back.She knew it would be impossible for her to swim back to Glendale. However, she could still swim back to the island and think of another plan. It would be better
That year, her face had been red because she was feeling apologetic. She said, “I’m sorry, I only have one dollar with me.”That voice of hers was like spring water as it glided through his heavy and fidgety heart.That one dollar helped him achieve his dream.Ryan smiled suddenly. His gray eyes were reflected with the face of the woman he truly loved and admired. Suddenly, he felt that this was pretty good.“Eveline,” he yelled at Madeline, “Thank you.”‘Thank you for appearing in my life and thank you for forgiving me in the end.’“Ryan, why are you not running? Run!”Boom!The yacht exploded all of a sudden. The strong stream of air and heat closed in on Madeline.“Ah!”Madeline yelled as she hurriedly covered her face with her hands. However, she could not stop this force.She was thrown far away. At this moment, she could only feel the heat on her face and the buzzing in her ears. All of the thoughts in her head had been sucked away.While in a daze, she heard someone
Madeline widened her eyes. She could not begin to accept that the woman in the mirror was herself.Her face was wrapped in a heavy layer of gauze. She could not see an inch of her skin aside from her eyes.Her face…Madeline felt as if her legs had been injected with lead. They felt so heavy that she could not move an inch.She lifted her hands and slowly touched her cheek. She could not believe that her face might have been ruined beyond recognition.“Miss, are you alright?” the young maid next to her asked in concern.Madeline lowered her trembling hands and turned to look at the maid. “My face…”She wanted to ask, but after saying those two words, she realized that her voice sounded so hoarse like it was sandpaper dragging across a table.“Your face was hurt pretty badly. Dr. Lane said that it’ll take a long time to recover but don’t worry, Dr. Lane is an amazing doctor, so you’ll definitely recover.” The maid comforted Madeline gently and kindly.However, Madeline felt as
“Where am I?” Madeline parted her lips and asked the man who had his back toward her.The man slowed down and turned his face slightly. His resolute and perfect jaw looked even more exceptional under the light.“It’s not important where you are. If you still want to go home, then stop your tears.” His voice was also as cold as his aura.Madeline clutched the handkerchief tightly. “Were you the one who saved me?”“I was just passing by.” His answer was straightforward.Madeline remembered that she did see another yacht heading toward her before the yacht Ryan was on exploded.Perhaps this man was on that yacht and coincidentally, he witnessed the yacht exploding so he saved her.“Thank you.” Madeline looked at the man’s back and thanked him. At the same time, she remembered Ryan who was still on the yacht. “Did you save my friend too?”“Friend?” The man sounded puzzled. Then, he turned around. “Do you mean the man who was chasing you on the other yacht?”When she heard this, Ma
Madeline had a bad feeling in her heart when she heard that.However, when she remembered what had happened to Jeremy after the yacht exploded, she found a glimmer of hope amidst the restless beating of her heart.“What are you thinking about? If you want to know, then follow me. Stop dilly-dallying.” The man urged coldly and impatiently.Madeline took a step forward sluggishly. Due to the impact of the yacht explosion that day, she was still weak and feeble all over.She walked slowly while the two maids followed behind her considerately as they were worried that she would fall all of a sudden.Madeline was touched by this meticulous care. She felt that she was extremely lucky to have been saved.The place was huge, and the decorations and renovations all had English influences. Everything here exuded a low profile yet elegant sentiment, from the small trinkets to the tables and chairs.Madeline felt that the man who saved her had an extraordinary status. However, she could not
However, he was the one who chose this ending.Madeline looked at the urn silently. Then, she heard the man’s cold voice behind her.“Feeling sad is the most useless thing. Swallow back your tears and properly tend to your wounds.”Madeline turned around and lifted her clear, beautiful eyes. “Did you see me cry?” she asked calmly and looked quietly at the urn that was placed on the coffee table. “This is the path he chose.” After she said that, Madeline went back the way she came from.The man did not expect Madeline to answer him so calmly and carefreely. For a moment, the man seemed to be lost in thought while absent-minded.He lifted his head to see Madeline who had already decisively left. Suddenly, he was curious. With that pair of eyes filled with determination and stubbornness, what would this woman’s personality be like? Plus, how did she look before she disfigured her face?Madeline went back to her room and sat on the bed quietly. She would be lying if she said that s
After she heard that, Madeline retracted her outstretched foot back.‘Jeremy?‘Is that man watching a video related to Jeremy?‘Why is he watching that?’Madeline was curious, and an uneasy feeling surged from the bottom of her heart.When she was trying to figure out why this man was watching a video on Jeremy, she noticed that the man had spotted her.His narrow black eyes stared straight at her like the moon in the night. They looked so cold yet so deep.“Come and sit here.” The man parted his lips and invited her over.Madeline wanted to understand more of what was going on, so she went over to sit down.The maid who was serving the man poured Madeline a cup of tea and handed it to her politely with a smile.Madeline held the teacup in her hands and felt the warmth spreading from her palms to her heart.To be frank, she was pretty lucky. At least her life was saved.As for Ryan…Madeline’s eyes became bleak. At the end of the day, a life was lost in front of her and sh
The man lowered his head and flipped through the photos one by one.Madeline could not endure this. She got up to go over so that she could have a look at the photos.The man was looking at the photos when he lifted his head to look at Madeline. When he saw the sharpness in Madeline’s eyes, he said coldly, “Why are you so excited?”Madeline suppressed the sharpness in her eyes and answered as if it was nothing. “I’m just curious what the person with the same name as me looks like.”The reason sounded reasonable, so the man did not suspect a thing. Then, he turned his eyes back to the photos.“What do you think about this woman with the same name as you? Do you think she’s good-looking?”Madeline looked at the woman in the photo who had undergone plastic surgery to look like her. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. “So-so.”“So-so?” The man had no expression on her face, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. “Then, I guess your true face must be out of this world.
