Cathy walked toward Madeline with a smile, saying, “Evie, it seems that you’ve gone back to your regular self. Has the hypnotism been broken?”Madeline nodded. “It’s all thanks to you, Cathy. You and Adam have helped us a lot.”Upon hearing this, Cathy looked at Adam. “Adam has also helped me a lot,” she said with sincere gratitude in her eyes.Meeting Cathy’s gaze, Adam gave her a gentle and friendly smile.“You’re here so late, is there anything I can help you with?”“I left something here so I dropped by to get it back.”Adam quickly understood. “Wait for me.”As he said that, he turned around and entered the house. A moment later, he walked out with a teddy bear in his hand.“You’re here for this, right?” Adam smiled and handed it over. “Juan likes to sleep with this doll the most. He’ll make a fuss if he doesn’t have this teddy bear with him.”When Cathy heard Adam say that, she could not help but feel touched inside.She walked up to Adam and took the teddy bear from hi
Jeremy looked in the rear-view mirror and saw Cathy looking at him calmly.“Have you visited Felipe?” he asked.“Yeah, I’ve gone to meet him,” Cathy said, her eyes darkening slightly. “He has also figured that the two children belong to him.”“Does he already know?” Jeremy and Madeline were both surprised at her words.Cathy did not nod or shake her head, merely whispering, “Although I didn't admit it, I think he must already know.”“I know it’s very selfish of me to say this, but Cathy, those two children are Felipe's only hope for appealing and commutation.” Jeremy's tone was soft, even carrying a hint of a plea.Although he and Felipe had a lot of friction between them, blood was thicker than water and he was still Felipe’s nephew. Plus, those things in the past were over. They had already moved on from those things.Cathy lowered her head and fiddled with the teddy bear in her hand. She was still speaking softly, “He should take responsibility for all the things he has done.
Now, the person Madeline was most worried about was Lillian. Except for the two words ‘Daddy’ and ‘Mommy’, she still could not speak.After eating breakfast, Madeline straightened the clothes of the two children and took their hands to walk them to the front door where they would wait for their ride.While walking, something fell from Lillian’s hand. She hurriedly stopped, broke free from Madeline’s grip, and walked back. Then, she squatted down and picked something up.Madeline walked over to take a look out of curiosity and found that the little girl was holding a piece of candy in her cute, fair, and chubby hands.The candy’s wrapper looked a bit old, as though it was expired.“Lily, do you want to eat candy? I’ll buy some for you. It looks like you can't eat this candy anymore,” Madeline persuaded softly.Lillian blinked her big eyes and then shook her head slightly.The little girl looked at Madeline as though she wanted to say something, but even after moving her little mo
When the person on the other end of the phone heard Madeline’s words, he replied rudely, “Who’s Fabian? There’s no Fabian here! Stop calling me!”After he said that, he hung up the phone, leaving Madeline only to hear the disconnect tone.She was stunned. When she was about to call again, she realized she could not get through anymore. The only possibility was that her number had been blocked.Madeline lifted her eyes to look at the nanny van that was driving farther away. When she thought about Lillian’s behavior just now, she started to feel a little worried.She could imagine that Fabian must hold a very special position in her precious daughter’s heart.When Fabian saved the little princess from Felipe, they had mysteriously and inexorably formed some kind of bond.Madeline looked at the phone number that had blocked her and there were questions in her heart that could not be answered.Fabian had left all of a sudden. She could not understand what could be the reason behind
“I didn't expect to see you again.” He broke the silence in a light manner, but the smile on his face was no longer charming and looked a little desolate.“Have you really decided not to appeal?” Jeremy went straight to the subject. “You have the opportunity to appeal and I can help you find a lawyer so that at least you won't be sentenced to death.”“I don't need it anymore,” Felipe refused decisively. “I’ve been obsessed for so many years and as a result, it’s all for nothing. I’ve had feelings for a woman for so many years, but in the end, I personally drove her to misery…”He paused as he was talking, his brows furrowing with endless grief and melancholy.“We should let this end here.”“Grandpa is still waiting for you to go back.”At Jeremy’s words, there was a slight change in Felipe’s expression. Jeremy could see that Felipe was still a little reluctant to leave this world, but it was just that he could not spare himself when he thought about what had happened to Cathy.“
Jeremy's promise suddenly imbued Felipe's life in prison with meaning.If there was truly anything or anyone that Felipe could not bear to part with, it would be Cathy.If he could be granted any other unlikely wishes, it would be that he could see the two children again.The children.The thought of them kindled an extremely warm feeling within Felipe.When he was the love of Cathy’s life, not only had he ignored her, but he had also killed those two children with his own hands.He knew he would never be able to make it up to Cathy any more, but he certainly had not expected that she would be pregnant with his baby when the accident occurred.This was God's gift. Yes, this was God's gift to him.Now, he hoped that Jeremy could arrange for this day to come as soon as possible.After they had left, Madeline went to stay with Adam. A few days passed, and the poison in her body did not flare up. Nevertheless, she did not forget how excruciatingly painful it had been when the pois
“However, she’s using her talents and gifts in ways she shouldn't.” Madeline could not help but sigh. “It truly astounds me. The sister hurts others while the younger brother saves them.”“I’m sorry.”“Adam, you didn’t do anything to wrong me, so there’s no need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I’m truly grateful to you.” Madeline conveyed her sincere gratitude. “Without you, I won’t be here today, and my son would’ve died long ago.”“Saving others is a doctor's mission. It is also my only conviction and aspiration ever since I’ve matured in thought.”“You’re a very good person, Dr. Adam.” Madeline lauded him sincerely. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her temple throbbing uncomfortably.Adam was very observant. He immediately noticed something was wrong with Madeline. “Are you feeling unwell?”Madeline did not bother putting up a tough front. “My head is hurting a little…” she said. She wanted to head to the bedroom to sit and rest briefly, but as she lift
Jeremy's heart skipped a beat at Adam's sudden pause, but he quickly calmed down.“Linnie and I have been through a lot together, so there is nothing I can't handle. Tell me what’s going to happen next, Adam.”“I’ve just talked to Shirley,” Adam said. “Judging from what she had said, and the symptoms of Eveline’s flare-up, the symptoms may differ each time she experiences a flare-up. Furthermore, it might worsen each time.”It might worsen each time.Those words felt like heavy rocks crashing down on Jeremy's heart. His eyebrows tightly knitted together as he looked at Madeline, who had now fallen asleep…Madeline slept for the entire afternoon. When she woke, she saw Jeremy staring at her with a gentle gaze.She had always been aware of the circumstances right before she fell asleep. Before Jeremy could speak, Madeline spoke instead, comforting him. “Jeremy, don't worry. I'm fine.”After hearing Madeline's comforting words, Jeremy felt even more distressed.He sat on the bed a
