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
The blue sea and the salty sea breeze.That was the smell of April Hill all year round.Now, however, the sea breeze blew with a biting coldness.Crash.The waves rushed forth, repeatedly crashing against the reef and shore.On the empty beach, two figures stood face to face.Felipe had deliberately groomed himself today, restoring his former graceful gentleman image. He now looked at the person in front of him, unlike in the past, with tenderness and affection.The person in front of him no longer looked the way she did back then as well.Cathy's once tender and sweet little face was now adorned with a hint of mature charm unfamiliar to him. There was no longer the pure admiration for him in her eyes; it had been replaced with some level of calmness and composure that could only be gained through experience.Whoosh.Although the sea breeze felt like knives as it blew at them, Felipe did not feel the cold, for his heart was burning hot at this moment.He had not expected Jer
Felipe and Cathy locked eyes. After a long while, Cathy returned to her senses and broke free from Felipe's hand.“What on earth do you want to say?” Cathy asked, seemingly impatiently. “If you’re still not going to speak, I’ll leave, seriously.”Seeing the decisiveness in Cathy's eyes, Felipe dared not waste any more time.Carefully, he took out an object from his pocket, then stretched out his hand toward Cathy.Cathy looked down. The sight of the red string in Felipe's palm stupefied her.“I’m sorry. Forgive me for only realizing your importance after losing you. Forgive me for discovering you to be that little girl I have been thinking about for more than ten years only after realizing your importance.”When Cathy heard Felipe's words, her expression became slightly dazed for a moment, and a strange emotion flashed in her eyes.“What… did you say?” Her tone, losing the earlier calmness, now sounded somewhat shaky. “Didn’t you know the entire time? Didn’t you only decide to s
