‘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
After she heard that, Madeline did not feel aggrieved or sad anymore.All of the hurt she felt had been healed by this man at this moment.When she was about to cry, Jeremy spread his arms and pulled her into his embrace.“Linnie, stop overthinking. I only have you in my life and you’re the only woman I love.” His warm promise sounded next to her ear.Madeline nodded with tears in her eyes. Her voice shook as she said, “I know.”She knew. She always knew that he loved her, from the start all the way till now.After the hug, Jeremy leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on Madeline’s lips.However, after this kiss, Madeline felt as if she was Cinderella after the clock struck 12. It was time to leave.Coincidentally, Jeremy’s phone rang.He picked up the phone and said after listening for a while, “Tell Lily I’m coming home now. Tell her to stop crying.”‘Is Lily crying?’Madeline started to feel worried. She did not know why her child was crying.Jeremy hung up the phone and M
Naomi clutched her face. When she saw the sharp and piercing cold glint in Madeline’s eyes, she was shocked.After Madeline warned her, she pushed Naomi away to go downstairs.Naomi was bitter about the unbearable grievances. When Madeline was not paying attention, she suddenly stuck her foot out to trip Madeline.However, it was as if Madeline was prepared. When Naomi stuck her foot out, she retracted her foot and at the same time, she grabbed Naomi.Naomi did not expect Madeline’s reflexes to be so quick. She was caught off guard after she was pulled and missed her footing before falling down the stairs. With a loud and muffled thud, she rolled down the stairs.“Ah!”Naomi then rolled all the way to the first floor while accompanied by her pained screams.When Jeremy saw this after he walked through the door, he stood motionless in surprise. However, he did not go over to help Naomi up even after a long while.Karen was in the living room, completely stunned when she saw this
