“Madeline!”Jeremy ran to Madeline quickly and worriedly. He did not know how much fear and terror was in his heart when he yelled out Madeline’s name.Madeline’s shaky body was being held by Jeremy.Her legs gave up as she leaned against the wall to force herself to stand up. However, she could not do it no matter how hard she tried. Even her consciousness was trying to drift and wander.Looking at the horrifying blood on Madeline’s lips, Jeremy’s heart leaped right up to his throat as he felt a fear that he had never felt before.“Jeremy!” Meredith ran over while looking at Madeline who was on the brink of death. Of course, she felt carefree, but she was extremely displeased with how Jeremy was treating Madeline now.“Jeremy, the guests are waiting. How can you abandon Mer and chase after that woman?” Eloise came over as well. She looked at Madeline who was vomiting blood with disgust. “It’s obviously fake blood. Jeremy, can’t you tell? She’s lying to you with fake blood. The r
“Get lost! Don’t touch her!”Jeremy roared all of a sudden. He ran out and carried Madeline to the side of the road before calling a cab.Ava was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before she ran after them.Meredith and Eloise ran out hurriedly as well. They did not have time to stop Jeremy as they saw him already getting into a cab with Madeline.Ava clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She did not think much before chasing after them.The light of the emergency room lit up while Jeremy was sitting on the chair in the waiting room quietly. He had no expression on his face.Madeline’s warmth and scent were still lingering in his arms. However, his white shirt had been stained with the blood she vomited out. There was so much blood and it was such an unpleasant sight.He closed his eyes, his brain occupied with what Madeline said before she closed her eyes.“Jeremy Whitman, you cold-blooded scum of the earth!”Ava’s shrieks sounded in front of him. Jeremy slowly lifted his
The nurse said, handing the notice of critical illness over.The light piece of paper landed in Jeremy’s hand, but it felt like a heavy rock weighing down on him. The invisible pressure made him extremely uncomfortable.Notice of critical illness…Was she about to leave this earth and out of his sight?He would not allow that!“Jeremy, now that it has come to this, you should sign the notice and let Maddie go peacefully.” Meredith came forward and advised him, grabbing his arm.However, Jeremy pushed her away and crumpled the notice of critical illness into a ball. His eyes were red. “What notice of critical illness? She’s always been fine. How can she be in critical condition all of a sudden? You have to save her. If anything happens to her, don’t think you’ll be able to run this hospital anymore!”The nurse started trembling when she saw Jeremy’s terrifying expression. She turned around and ran back inside nervously.After a while, a few experts walked their way and rushed in
How was this possible?He did not care about her at all. He had never cared about her.Jeremy kept on hypnotizing himself while suppressing his emotions. However, the intense pain in his heart forced him to accept the truth that he could not deny anymore.He had fallen in love with Madeline.He did not know when it started, but Madeline had slowly made a home inside his heart.He remembered that he loved Meredith. He loved Meredith who he had made promises to when they were younger. Why had that person become Madeline instead?Jeremy massaged his temples, feeling agitated. His eyes were staring at the light of the operating theatre that was still on. He felt as if he had lost something important in the quicksand of his memory and could not get it back anymore.An entire day passed and the light of the operating theatre was still not switched off.Meredith was already impatient, but Jeremy looked too horrifying at this moment, so she did not dare to act without thinking. She cou
Jeremy felt a dull ache in his heart instantly. His eyes were so wide that they looked like they were going to fall from his sockets. “What do you mean by you tried your best?” he questioned. Those were the words no family member would want to hear.The doctor looked at him and sighed. “It’s a miracle that the patient was able to live until this day. My condolences.”He would not accept this result no matter what.He wanted Madeline to be alive.He wanted her to be alive so that she would be able to hear him tell her the truth.“I took a look at this patient three years ago. Back then, she was pregnant and I asked her to abort the child. However, she insisted on giving birth to the child. I think that child was more important to her than her own life. Now that she’s gone, the child would be able to live for her. I think that’s some kind of consolation.” A female doctor chimed in at one side. After Jeremy heard that, he almost could not breathe.That child.He had crushed that ch
Jeremy yelled tyrannically, causing Meredith to quickly turn around and run out in fear.No one dared to go into the room anymore. At the same time, no one understood why Jeremy was acting like this.Everyone in Glendale knew that Jeremy loved Meredith, but now, he was reluctant to let go of his dead ex-wife’s body. What was going on?Daniel knew about Madeline’s death from Adam. He ran over the moment he heard the news but was stopped outside the operating theatre.He fought with Jeremy’s bodyguards for a while. Then, the door opened and Jeremy walked out.When he saw Jeremy, Daniel escaped from the bodyguards and ran toward the man.“Jeremy, you murderer! You killed Maddie!” he yelled as he was about to punch Jeremy.Jeremy grabbed Daniel’s hand indifferently, lifting his head to look at him with red eyes. “I said, no one’s allowed to come and disturb my wife. Scram!”“Your wife?” Daniel was amused. “Jeremy, just ask yourself, when have you ever treated Maddie like she was yo
The four words he said sounded light. It was as if he had used up all the energy in his body.“Jeremy, I won’t give you Maddie anymore! Meeting you was the most unfortunate thing that ever happened to Maddie. Will you only be satisfied after you crush her bones into dust?”When he listened to Ava’s accusations, Jeremy felt his temples throbbing furiously. He reached out his hand, his tone sounding firm. “Give her to me!”“No! I’d rather die than give Maddie to you!”When Jeremy saw that Ava was refusing to hand Madeline’s ashes to him, he felt like he was going to explode.He reached out to snatch it from her, and of course, he got it.He carried Madeline’s ashes and ran to the car. He heard Ava’s curses behind him, so he quickly stepped on the accelerator. Then, he left the scene like a thief.Ever since he was young, Jeremy would get everything he wanted. No one had ever gone against him except for Madeline. However, he lost his reputation and image just to snatch over a dead
She had been thinking about marrying Jeremy every day so that she could become the real Mrs. Whitman. However, it had been three years and their relationship did not change at all.It had been three years and she could not wait anymore.…It was a bright and sunny summer afternoon. An adorable little girl was holding the skirt of a young woman in Glendale Airport.“Mommy, Mommy, I’m hungry.”The woman turned her head when she heard that. Her long wavy hair fluttered as she turned around. A benevolent smile was displayed on her stunning face. She picked up the adorable little girl who looked like an elf. “I’ll bring you to eat something yummy soon.”She started walking after picking up the girl. An elegant and poised aura started following her like it was her shadow.On the way, she attracted a lot of praise and glances for her beauty and figure.After they found a place to stay, she took the little girl out.“Mommy, I want a burger first.”“Alright.” The woman agreed.“Thank
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
