Daniel had found out where Madeline was staying. When he got there to see how she was doing, he did not expect to see this scene in front of him.“Maddie!”His heart started racing. He ignored everything and slammed on the accelerator to follow the car that had brought Madeline away.However, the car was driving too fast and was even running red lights without a care. Daniel did not want to lose the car, so he ignored the red lights as well. However, at this moment, there were two students in uniform crossing the road. Daniel slammed the brakes immediately.He managed to prevent an accident from happening, but he also lost the car.He thought about what Madeline would have to face later and immediately called the police. Then, he pulled some strings and got the camera footage.He had lost her once before three years ago. This time, he would not allow anything to happen to her again.‘Maddie, you’ll be okay.‘I’ll definitely get you back safely this time.’…Hospital.There w
“Leave us alone.” Jeremy interrupted Rose coldly. Staring at the silent Meredith, Rose wiped a fake tear off the corner of her eye. “Then I’ll trust you to take good care of Meredith. She can’t take any more shocks.” Then, she turned around and left, closing the door behind her. Jeremy walked toward Meredith who lay quietly on the bed. Putting on a pitiful act, Meredith shut her eyes and tilted her face to the side, away from Jeremy. “I've already gotten the best doctor there is to treat you. Your legs will heal soon,” he spoke calmly, “If you don’t want to see me, then I shall take my leave.” Hearing that, Meredith quickly turned her head back around and reached out to grab Jeremy’s hand. “Don’t go, Jeremy!” She stared lovingly at the man as large droplets of tears she had forced out began to trickle out sadly. “You must hate me a lot, don’t you, Jeremy? You don’t even want to see me anymore, right?” Her tone was weak and her complexion was pale, exaggerating her si
Jeremy furrowed his sharp brows. “What did you say?” “When will you stop, Jeremy? Until Madeline dies? Is loving you so much of a sin? Tell me, where did you bring her?” Firing the questions at rapid speed, Daniel’s worry and anxiousness became apparent and real. Still, Madeline was already dead. It was the truth no matter how much he refused to face it. Soon enough, he thought of Vera Quinn.Vera was the only possible reason why Daniel would believe that Madeline was still alive. Did something happen to Vera? His heart sunk as a feeling of unease began to bubble within him. Without another thought, Jeremy broke out of Meredith’s grip and turned around. Meredith was stunned for two whole seconds and by the time she looked up, Jeremy had already walked out of the hospital ward. “Jeremy! Jeremy, where are you going?” She asked frantically, but Jeremy did not even spare her a glance from the corner of his eye, let alone turn around. Rose, who had been waiting outside th
“What about you, then? Did you forget the tacos you and my wife were so lovingly enjoying by the roadside, Daniel? You even sent her home afterward. How kind of you. Did you perhaps forget about the kiss in broad daylight?” Jeremy interrogated chillingly, the smile on his face long gone by now and was instead replaced with the frost that forced one to divert their gaze. “I’m telling you, Daniel. Madeline will always be my woman. Even in death, her ashes belong to me! Who do you think you are? You’ve been nothing more than a delusional homewrecker who tried to steal a woman from her husband.” At that, Daniel chuckled. “A homewrecker? So you do know that word. Perhaps Madeline would not have been framed time and time again by that homewrecker Meredith had you not turned a blind eye every time! You were an accomplice!” An emotion rippled through Jeremy’s calm features. He could not deny that he had indeed played the role of the executioner when it came to the harm Madeline had b
Madeline’s heart raced and she was nervous. From the sound, the men had already reached the door. Madeline had no other options. She needed to act now. Bracing through the pain of her bleeding hands, Madeline moved an abandoned chair. The men outside were already tinkling with the lock. After taking a rock from the ground, Madeline stepped on the chair. “F*ck! Didn’t you open the door just now? How did you lose the key? Look for it, now!” An angry voice rang out from outside the door. Hearing them, Madeline realized that this was a great opportunity for her. Staring at the broken window in front of her, she raised the rock to hit it. Crash!The glass shattered instantly with a crisp crack. The people by the door immediately fell silent for a few seconds before someone roared. “F*ck! The chick couldn’t have run off, could she?” “What? She ran off?” A woman’s infuriated voice drifted over, followed by an order. “Kick the door down! The two of you, look for her outside.
Right at that moment, an anonymous text appeared on his phone. ‘West Waste Paper Factory. She’s there. Save her.’Jeremy’s eyes shone. He immediately tried to call the number, but it could not connect. With no time to worry or suspect, Jeremy turned the car around and sped toward the location on the text. Night fell and Madeline was forced to stay in the same place. The dark room’s lights brightened and she could see Meredith still waiting in the same spot. Soon after, the men returned empty-handed. Of course, they had never stopped to think that Madeline was still inside the room and that the cloth was merely a ploy to divert their attention. The play was a success. “Useless! All of you!” Meredith was infuriated, pointing at the men as she scolded. Then, she left, only to be stopped by the leader who had a scar on his face. “Sure, she ran off, but we also did work for you today. Pay up.” Meredith scoffed and crossed her arms in all her spoiled rich girl fashion. “Yo
The two thugs immediately ran to the darkened room, groping around for there was no source of light to guide their way. Right as they were about to reach for their phones, they saw a black shadow dash past them from the wall behind. The two quickly turned their heads back. Using the lapse in time, Madeline threw the chair in her hand at them before turning around and running outside. The thugs reflexively held their arms out to brace themselves. “F*ck! The chick really is here!” “Catch her!” Knowing that it was now pointless to keep on hiding, Madeline decided that she would not sit and wait for them to find her. Using their blindspots against them, Madeline ran out just as they entered the room. However, there was no foolproof way to prevent her from being seen. After exiting the darkened room, Madeline was met with a flushed and unclothed Meredith as well as two other thugs with unkempt clothes. Madeline felt a wave of disgust hit her at the sight. “Vera Quinn?!” Meredi
“Have fun, Vera Quinn! They’re not bad!” “Have you no shame, Meredith Crawford?” “Hahaha… Maybe if you begged, I might have thought about letting you go. Too bad though, if you’re going to be so stubborn, then you can just die!” Meredith’s eyes hardened as an evil smile appeared on her bandaged face. Madeline refused to allow Meredith to hurt her anymore, especially not before she took revenge for all Meredith did to her back then.Watching the four men approaching her, Madeline slowly raised her fists. She would fight to the death before she let herself fall into the hands of these men. When her eyes fell on a wooden stick by the wall, she dashed to pick it up before anyone could stop her. “Oh? What a feisty one. I like it.” The scarred man smiled wretchedly with a hand rubbing his chin as he stared disapprovingly at the wooden stick in Madeline’s hand. “I’d stop fighting back if I were you, beautiful, lest you suffer unnecessary beatings for your misbehavior!” Madeline
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
