She clenched her fists indignantly before suddenly turning to push Karen harshly out of the way. She then ran toward the gates. “Ow!” Caught off guard, Karen knocked into Winston. “Take care of Grandfather, Linnie. I’ll catch her.” Jeremy immediately ran after her.“That b*tch! I should never have taken care of such an unfilial rascal!” Karen shouted.The care worker looked at Madeline sheepishly from behind the old master’s wheelchair. “My apologies, Miss Crawford. I’ve misunderstood you.” “My name’s Eveline Montgomery. You can call me Miss Montgomery.” Madeline smiled softly. “I don’t blame you for telling the truth.” She walked toward Old Master Whitman and broke into a smile. “That was cheeky, Grandfather. I didn’t know you could speak such coherent sentences already.” Old Master Whitman responded with a deep gaze. “You’ve been wronged again, my child.” Madeline shook her head with a smile. “Misunderstandings tend to unfurl sooner or later. I don’t mind being misunder
He turned around to meet Madeline’s mirthful gaze with a handsome smile of his own. “I can say the same to you, Linnie.” “So despite that look of disappointment at the entrance this morning, you already knew that I had said it on purpose?” Madeline asked.Jeremy nodded, turning around to walk toward Madeline. His gaze seemed softer than the moonlight. “How could I not believe you? I’ve already made that grave mistake once. I won’t make it again.” His lips curled, and his gaze was sincere. “I’ve told you before, Linnie. I’ll believe you even if you lie to me. Be it hell or the abyss, as long as you’re there, I’ll jump in without a second thought.” “Is that so?” Madeline smiled meaningfully. “Then why did you turn and leave when I fell into the water that day?” Fell into the water that day? Jeremy was stunned. He had jumped in without hesitation and pulled her back to shore. His heart had hurt so much that it felt like he was suffocating when she refused to wake. Why did
Her phone vibrated. It was a call from Felipe. Walking to the balcony, Madeline picked up the call and told him that she would be registering hers and Jeremy’s divorce tomorrow. Felipe was elated at the news but expressed his shame for not being able to fetch Madeline as he had things to do tomorrow. They ended the call, and Madeline closed her eyes in thought as she let the wind blow past her face. Jeremy’s face seemed to be the only thing clear in every snippet of her recovered memory.… Madeline woke up early the following day. Venturing to the kitchen, Madeline made breakfast for Jackson and the Montgomery couple. It was a rare scenario that both Eloise and Sean were grateful for.It was good news to them that Madeline had not gone to F Country as planned. For at least now they could see their daughter frequently. After breakfast, Madeline stated that she was going to meet Jeremy at the town office to register their divorce, which stunned both Eloise and Sean as the
Madeline looked up to stare at that wretched smile. The man was a stranger, but she felt like they had crossed paths before. She was certain that he must have been an enemy of hers before she lost her memories, or he would not do something so extreme, let alone say something along the lines of ‘we meet again’. Tanner squatted down to grab Madeline’s delicate chin as she stared at him with a sharp and analytic gaze. “Tsk. What? You don’t remember this old friend of yours?” Madeline turned her face to fight Tanner’s hold with a dignified look in her eyes. “Good friend? Who are you to call yourself that?” Tanner was displeased. “What are you even arrogant about, Madeline Crawford? Let me tell you. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands again, I’m never going to let you go!” He stood up and gave Madeline a gluttonous look from above. Regardless of what angle he stared from, Madeline was still breathtaking. No. It would be more accurate to say that she had grown even more beauti
That accomplice was most likely an enemy of hers as well.By the time Madeline could guess who that woman might be, Tanner had hung up and returned. He took a rope to tie Madeline’s legs together while he continued to spout vile things from his mouth. “Just wait obediently for me to come back, Madeline. Then, I’ll show you how good I am!” Tanner then blindfolded Madeline’s eyes with a scrap piece of cloth before leaving the factory happily and locking the door behind him. Madeline tried to struggle, but it was to no avail. … Time ticked soundlessly away and it was already nine o’clock. In the town office, Jermey waited quietly. Watching young couples walking in happily hand-in-hand and walking out with sweet smiles on their faces, Jeremy could not help but think of the scene when he and Madeline had gotten registered. She was just like these girls, eyes full of hope as she admired him carefully. Thinking of her adoration-filled eyes, Jeremy’s heart ached. It was hi
Jeremy took off the cloth that covered Madeline’s eyes the same time she asked her question.Just as she felt the light, Jeremy's worried face was also reflected in Madeline's eyes. ‘It really is him.’Madeline muttered silently in her heart, and somehow, a feeling of security flowed through her heart."Linnie, how are you? Are you hurt?" Jeremy asked with distress as he quickly untied the rope that bound her hands and feet.Madeline shook her head. She was about to say something when she saw that the back of Jeremy's right hand was full of blood.She glanced at the broken glass window and suddenly realized that he had actually smashed the window with his fist.Seeing that Madeline did not answer him, Jeremy asked again while feeling more worried.“Linnie, who brought you here? Did that person hurt you?"Madeline came back to her senses. "It was a man. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before, but I can't recall it now."She was about to stand up as she said this, but her legs
Tanner quickly tried to think of something in a panic as he quietly walked to the iron gates.He heard the voices of Madeline and Jeremy talking inside. Jeremy already knew that he was the one who kidnapped Madeline."MD, I really know that I did it!" Tanner quenched his dissatisfaction.He glanced at the barrels of gasoline at the gates, gritted his teeth, and shook his head.Jeremy found the tool to unlock the door and was about to act when Madeline suddenly caught a strange smell with her keen senses. "It smells of gasoline."Jeremy turned around. "Gasoline?""It's getting more and more intense." Madeline nodded and suddenly saw a red glow in the surroundings. "Someone has set a fire."The moment Madeline's voice fell, the tongue of the flames followed the path of the gasoline, and in an instant, it spread around the entire abandoned factory!They did not expect to encounter such a situation again.Jeremy calmly picked up the tool and slammed the door lock. "Linnie, don't b
The moment Jeremy let go, Madeline's hands were cold and her heart seemed to have fallen into an icy abyss.She called Jeremy's name but received no response.As Jeremy pushed her to safety, she heard a dull crash.She did not know what it was but faintly felt that Jeremy was injured.Madeline rolled from the wooden box to the ground. She coughed in discomfort. Ignoring her sprained ankle, she immediately stood up and ran to the door that was blocked by the wooden box."Jeremy, can you hear me? Jeremy? Answer me quickly!" She called out to Jeremy in a panic, but she could not get any response except for the sound of burning fire.Madeline's vision suddenly became blurred. She tried to push the wooden box, but it was to no avail.The black smoke in front of her had blinded her sight and it seemed to swallow her breath and heartbeat as well. Seeing the tongue of the fire rushing out in front of her, Madeline dazedly opened her large eyes that were filled with tears. Her eyes flick
