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
Madeline lifted the wine glass. She wanted to drink away all of the troubles and unhappiness she experienced recently. However, Jeremy suddenly said something.“Linnie, I think it has been a long time since we sat down and had a candlelight dinner with just the two of us.”Madeline was taken aback when she heard that. Her clear and bright eyes were looking into Jeremy’s eyes.It had indeed been a long time.Madeline lamented silently. However, she thought about it after a while. If Jeremy said that, did it mean that he had not eaten with Naomi alone this whole time?Madeline was glad. She smiled and lifted her wine glass at Jeremy.Even though Madeline did not say anything, Jeremy understood what she meant.He lifted his wine glass as well and clinked it with Madeline’s. When he saw the faint dimples on Madeline’s face, he smiled as well.The lights outside were shining like stars and it was very romantic. At this moment, Madeline only had Jeremy in her eyes. He was her star. H
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
