“OMG!” Ada exclaimed. She acted as if she had just touched the God of Misfortune and threw the mask in her hand to the floor in disdain.“I thought you were some out-of-the-world beauty and that’s why Carty kept ignoring me. I didn’t expect you to look like this! No wonder you’re always wearing a mask. Oh gosh, you’re so hideous! No, you’re not hideous, you’re horrifying!”Ada did not keep any propriety in her speech at all. She kept on waving her hand.“Somebody come here! Get me some disinfectant! I just touched this person’s mask and I don’t know if I might get infected!”“I think so,” Madeline uttered those three words slowly from her lips.Ada was taken aback when she heard that. “What did you say?”“I was answering your question,” Madeline replied seriously, “My face is so horribly disfigured and there might still be a lot of toxic bacteria on it. You ripped my mask just now, so I think you must’ve touched the bacteria on the mask too. You must be careful.”“...” Ada’s exp
Madeline followed behind Carter and started to feel nervous.This man was still a mystery to her. In addition to that, she had no idea why he wanted to investigate Jeremy.Now, he had said something so weird and Madeline had no clue what was going on.After walking for a bit, Madeline followed him to the French window on the second floor.The window was huge, so one could get a nice view here.When Madeline looked out, she saw a familiar car parked outside the front door of the manor.‘Jeremy!’Madeline screamed out his name in her heart. However, she could only pretend to be confused on the surface.“Mr. Carter, you said you’re taking me to see the actual situation, so what’s the actual situation?”Carter looked at Madeline’s confused face and lifted his dark eyes. Then, his gaze landed on Jeremy’s car.“Do you not see the car parked outside the door?” he asked, his voice sounding nonchalant. “He followed you all the way here. Did you not notice him?”“...” Madeline shook h
When he saw Madeline’s bustling figure, he did not plan to stop her and instead turned around to stand in front of the window again to look at the front door of the manor. Then, he turned on his Bluetooth earphones to listen to what was happening at the door.Madeline went out of the door after a while. She pretended to not see Jeremy but Jeremy stopped his car next to her.She looked over in fake surprise and pretended to be shocked. “Mr. Whitman? Why are you here?”Jeremy did not say anything. Instead, he got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Madeline. “Get in.”“...” Madeline hesitated for a few seconds and did not know what to do. She looked at the French window where she was at just now with the corner of her eyes before getting into the car.The more familiar she used to be with this passenger seat, the more touched she felt now.She looked cautiously at the rear-view mirror. When she made sure no one was following her, she let out a sigh of relief in secret.
‘What?‘Proof?’Naomi was stunned for two seconds, then she saw Madeline taking out her phone to open an app.“Mrs. Whitman, you said a lot of people were filming at that time. Coincidentally, someone captured the moment you ripped my mask off of me. Will you only admit it if I show everyone the video?”When she heard this, Naomi’s face looked even more horrid.She wanted to go up and take a look but then Jeremy took Madeline’s phone and opened the video.When she heard the sound coming from the video, Naomi was sure it was the video from the park that day.She could hear a lot of people saying that Madeline’s face looked terrifying.Naomi started to feel guilty. She thought nobody saw her when she ripped Madeline’s mask off. She did not expect someone to have captured the scene on video.While she was feeling nervous, she saw Jeremy glancing over at her. This made Naomi even more nervous.“Jeremy, I-I did mean to remove Quinny’s mask. It’s because she fell into the water and
Madeline had just walked to the door of the room. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jeremy following closely behind her. As such, she stopped and turned her head.Jeremy gave her a slight smile when he saw Madeline turning her head to look over.He approached her gracefully. Then, he hesitated for two seconds before speaking, “I’m sorry you were wronged.”“...” Madeline was slightly stunned. She thought that Jeremy's tone and gaze were a little off when he said this to her.“Mr. Whitman, aren’t you going to blame me for fooling Mrs. Whitman just now?” Madeline asked.“I don't think anyone is fooling my wife,” Jeremy replied with a smile. He was in a pretty good mood.This puzzled Madeline even more, and it also made her speculate.Just as he was about to speak, she saw Naomi approaching Jeremy’s back. As such, Madeline reached out and pushed open the door in front of her.“Mrs. Whitman is here, so you should go to comfort her first, Mr. Whitman.”After Madeline
Even though Adam told her not to worry, Madeline was still feeling anxious.She washed her face in the toilet but did not dare to lift her head to look at herself in the mirror.However, when she was washing her face, she could feel that her skin had gotten smoother. Although her face had progressively gotten better during the 30-day treatment, her skin was never this smooth before.Madeline became excited, but she still washed her face gently. In the end, she used a towel to pat the water droplets on her face dry.After a long while, she finally found the courage to lift her head.The mirror in front of her was wide and the light on top of her head was bright. Madeline could clearly see the state of her face now.She looked at herself in the mirror and lifted her hand to touch her face with some bewilderment.At this moment, Adam appeared behind Madeline.“I added a special ingredient to the gel just now. It helps to boost the rebuilding of your collagen and the tissues of you
“See you tomorrow, Amy.” Madeline waved her hand and turned around.However, after she took a few steps, she heard Cathy calling out from behind her, “Eveline.”She called her Eveline.Madeline turned around in surprise to look at the woman in front of her in excitement. “Adam always calls you Miss Montgomery, but I remember that your name is Eveline,” Cathy furrowed her brows and said probingly.“I keep feeling as if I know you from before, and I don’t mean recently but a very long time ago.”She said and then went on to talk about what happened back then.“There’s a man named Felipe Whitman and he was always appearing in front of me. He kept calling me Cathy but I’m sure I’m not Cathy. Yet, he still kept appearing in front of me until I said I hated him and told him to stop bothering me. It was only then he finally stopped appearing.”When she said this, Madeline could see a flash of desolation in Cathy’s eyes.“For some reason, after he stopped bothering me, I started havi
Madeline’s heartbeat started to become erratic, and she was more than familiar with this rhythm.This was the man she loved and the man who loved her, so they should be able to get along naturally. At this moment, however, Madeline was abnormally nervous.Yet, she was more worried that the red marks and scars after her scabs fell would appear once again.She still did not have enough courage to face this man.However, her voice…While she was pondering about this nervously, Jeremy’s hand grabbed her shoulder and he walked in front of her.It was dusk, and the sunset shone silently on Madeline’s face, creating a halo of light.Jeremy looked at Madeline, and there was an excited glint flashing across his bottomless eyes. However, it faded away as fast as it came.After a few seconds, Jeremy smiled and parted his lips. “Linnie, why are you here?”His tone was gentle and sounded like the breeze in April or May as his voice glided past Madeline’s ears.Madeline was taken aback whe
