“That’s what happened.” Carter insisted this was what happened, but his eyes were extremely gentle at this moment. “Shirley, you don’t need to bother yourself with any of this. You just need to recuperate properly. Don’t worry, no matter how much effort and money it’ll take, I’ll cure you and make you stand up again.”After promising her, Carter rose to his feet and walked behind Shirley to push her wheelchair slowly.Shirley had nothing to say. There were only silent tears falling from her eyes.She knew that Carter was determined in insisting on his so-called revenge as if he was presently hypnotized by something unseen. Carter, too, did not speak further but merely pushed Shirley forward...After Carter had sent Shirley back to her room, she kept feeling that something was not amiss.She was certain that Carter had already performed the advanced hypnosis on Madeline, but she had no idea how would Madeline act after she was in the advanced hypnosis stage.She wanted to go out
“Eveline…”Shirley looked at Madeline who entered with slow steps. Shirley had a feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of her, but she could not put a finger on it.Once entered, Madeline glanced at Camille with a slight smile and then shifted her gaze to Shirley.“Are you... a friend of my fiancé?”“...” Shirley was stunned for a moment. When she heard Madeline's words, she was convinced that Madeline had indeed been deeply hypnotized.Madeline’s thoughts were no longer her own. What she said and did was all per Carter's intentions.Shirley merely looked at Madeline without speaking.Upon seeing that Shirley did not respond, Madeline repeated in a friendly manner.“I remember you. You’re Shirley. I seem to have had some unpleasant experiences with you back then, but Carter told me that those are all in the past. Plus, he and I will have a wedding soon. I hope the unhappiness between us can be blown away by this joyous wedding.”The way Madeline spoke
Suddenly, she heard Madeline’s joyful exclaims.Camille was stunned when she heard that, but she understood why Madeline would say that.Carter had hypnotized Madeline, so in the current Madeline's thoughts, Carter was the Jeremy she loved for many years.Her thoughts and eyes were blinded by an illusion.She still loved Jeremy. This was something that hypnotism could not change. All Carter could do was cover up the truth.“Yeah, you guys are finally getting married. Congratulations.” Camille went along and gave Madeline her blessings.Madeline smiled upon hearing that. When she lifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes lit up with surprise.She looked into the distance and said sweetly, “Carter.”Madeline called out. When she looked at the approaching man, Jeremy's appearance reflected in her pupils, and the name she called out was still Jeremy in her subconscious mind.Carter pursed his lips into a smile as he walked towards Madeline very cooperatively.Camille saw this and walke
Shirley's wheelchair stopped as Carter finished speaking.A rare, cheerful smile appeared on Carter’s face when he saw Shirley stopped moving away from him.“Shirley, I know that, in your heart, I’m an obsessive bastard right now, but no matter what, you’re still the only woman in my life.”Upon hearing Carter's answer, Shirley's fingers gradually tightened around the switch of the wheelchair.Tears surged in her eyes, but she resisted, refraining the tears from falling.Additionally, she did not answer Carter. She silently pressed the switch on the wheelchair again, continuing her way to the door.Carter quietly watched Shirley's fading figure. His heartbeat was frantic, and his eyes darkened.“Jeremy, you’ll soon get a taste of my pain.”As soon as Carter said this, his phone rang.He glanced at his phone, and an intrigued smile appeared on the corner of his lips.“You’re finally here, Jeremy.”Carter said and left.As soon as he stepped out of the door, his entourage hur
Even if he had to go into a tiger’s den, Jeremy would barge in without hesitation.Carter already knew what Jeremy would do.He walked in front of Jeremy and led the way into the living room. He then told a maid, “Go and ask the future young madam to come downstairs.”The maid obediently followed suit and went upstairs to a certain room.Future young madam?Jeremy was suspicious. He knew that, back then, Carter had been married to Ada.Ada had been arrested for the crimes she committed and was still in prison, but Carter and Ada had probably canceled their marriage during this time.However, was Carter getting married again so soon?Was Shirley the bride?Jeremy was suspicious, but this was the only possibility.Carter could guess Jeremy’s thoughts from the look in Jeremy's eyes. He lifted the corner of his lips and glanced in a certain direction on the second floor.“You must be wondering who is the woman I’ll be marrying soon, aren’t you, Mr. Whitman? You’ll meet her soon.
When Madeline heard this, she turned around and saw Jeremy smiling at her.Carter’s eyes were on him as well. He had a feeling in his heart that Jeremy was guiding Madeline so he could catch her off guard.However, Carter was not worried.Even a professional hypnotist would not be able to crack the advanced hypnosis he performed on Madeline, let alone Jeremy who knew nothing about hypnotism.“Sir, do you mean…” Madeline looked at Jeremy with curiosity. “Do you mean I should ask you who you are?”Jeremy nodded, still smiling. “You still haven’t asked me my name, Miss Montgomery.”Madeline was a little stunned. It seemed that she thought Jeremy had said something unnecessary.However, Madeline still smiled and asked, “Sir, what is your name?”“My name is Jeremy Whitman,” Jeremy answered Madeline’s question quickly. He then continued, “My wife likes to call me Jeremy.”“...” Madeline stared straight into Jeremy’s deep and beautiful eyes. “Hello, Mr. Whitman. Nice to meet you. Is
Presently, Jeremy did not exist in Madeline’s memories, but Jeremy's words and behavior gave Madeline a familiar feeling, a feeling similar to how she felt about Carter.At this time, a maid came over. She said that Camille had asked them to go to the ancestral hall.Not wanting to waste any time, Carter took Madeline and went out. Before he left, he told his bodyguard to keep an eye on Jeremy.In fact, in the beginning, he had deliberately allowed Jeremy to enter the manor to see Madeline so that Jeremy would feel uncomfortable.However, instead of achieving his goal, Jeremy now had the upper hand.Nonetheless, Carter did not take it very seriously either. He glanced at Madeline who was by his side, and a corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.Jeremy went upstairs but his eyes continued to follow Madeline. Even after Madeline had gotten in the car and left, Jeremy still did not leave.‘Linnie, I’m the one you love. From the beginning to the future, our feelings for each other
In the bedroom on the second floor.Shirley operated the wheelchair all the way to the balcony, and Jeremy followed behind her until she stopped.If this were in the past, Jeremy would never be alone with Shirley at all, let alone listen to her. At the present, he had let go of his prejudice against her, and he had a little more trust in her.“I knew you’d come, but I didn't expect you to come directly into Gray Manor like this.”Shirley sighed. She raised her eyes, tinged with envy, and looked at Jeremy.“Eveline is so lucky to have you to care for her, to concern her.”When Jeremy heard those words, he felt an ache in his heart. He regretted that he had not been able to give Madeline complete happiness and love since the beginning.Jeremy could see that Shirley no longer had the sharp edge about her, but he did not want to waste time on idle chit-chat.“I don’t think this is what you want to talk about with me now that you’ve brought me in here.” Jeremy went straight to the p
