Felipe’s eyes glinted, and when he was about to say something, Madeline quickly walked over from behind him.Jeremy looked at Madeline. “Linnie…”Slap!Madeline slapped Jeremy heavily across the face.Jeremy’s face was turned to the side from the slap and the excruciating pain crept into his heart.Madeline glared at Jeremy with tears in her eyes. She was biting her lip tightly. “Even if you didn’t want to kill Lily, she still went missing under your care. You won’t be able to get away from this responsibility no matter what you say!”Her eyes looked pained. “Jeremy, why do you have to make me hate you?” Madeline said before turning around. Then, Felipe chased behind her.Jeremy did not even get to see Lilian for the last time before she was brought into the car.After a while, everything around him plunged into silence. Jeremy stood there alone while stuck in a daze.He had not protected the woman he loved back then and caused her to die in his arms. Today, he made the same f
Jeremy took out his phone hurriedly and opened the electronic copy of the paternity test result that he saved.“Linnie, look. This is the paternity test I did with Lily. Lily is our daughter.” He held the phone in front of Madeline to prove that he was telling the truth.Madeline lowered her eyes, her vision quickly blurred by tears.“Linnie, do you see it?” Jeremy asked carefully.However, the moment he finished asking, Madeline lifted her hand and pushed his hand away.The phone fell to the wet floor with a loud smack. Then, the screen smashed into a million pieces.Jeremy felt his heart getting smashed at the same time as well.Madeline looked at him frigidly. “I don’t want to see you again.”Her tone was firm, and she walked away without turning back.Jeremy stood in place dispiritedly. As he looked at her cold back, tears escaped from the corners of his eyes.On the smashed screen, that beautiful smile invaded his vision and pained Jeremy’s eyes.“Lily…”‘I’m sorry, Li
She lifted her hand to touch her stomach. Then, a pleased smile blossomed on her face.After Cathy left, Felipe picked up the colorful shell that he had been keeping for years.“Eveline.”He called out to Madeline’s name as a cheeky face appeared in his mind.He would not forget how a ray of light had appeared in his dark life after he met her by the beach.“I won’t let you go back to Jeremy again. You’re mine.”He held the shell as a wave of emotions appeared in his eyes.That day, the reason he said he wanted to bring Madeline to clear her head in the equine park was to prevent her from having any contact with the outside world so that his plan would carry out smoothly.He knew he could not hide the fact that he had drugged Madeline, so he needed to admit it.He also knew that Madeline would not want to go back to F Country with him as he could sense that she started to develop feelings for Jeremy again. That was why he planned to create a conflict between Madeline and Jerem
Jeremy’s tears fell along with Madeline’s after he heard what she said.The unbearable memories appeared in his head as his bloody past appeared right in front of his eyes. He could not get away from them.“You should go.”Madeline said those three words flatly. Then, she turned around so that she would not look at him.“When Lily was trapped in the burning car and was almost burnt alive, I could tell that you genuinely wanted to save her. However, it still can’t change the fact that she died because of your negligence.“Jeremy, I can’t forgive you and I don’t want to see you again.”Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back and stood there for a very long time. Finally, he turned around while bearing the blame.A gust of cold wind blew over, going straight into his heart. Then, more tears started to fall from his eyes.Madeline stood in front of Lillian’s grave and heard Jeremy’s footsteps as he walked away.Her eyes were red as she looked at the words on the tombstone. Then, she swal
Time passed and the sky started to turn grey. Then, it started drizzling.Jeremy could not wait. He got out of the car and was about to barge in when he saw Cathy walking toward him with an umbrella.Jeremy remembered Cathy because she was the one who had shown him directions the last time.His instinct told him that Cathy was someone he could trust.Cathy walked in front of him and advised him, saying, “Mr. Whitman, you should go. Evie doesn’t want to see you.”“I have to see her. I have something important to tell her.” Jeremy insisted, his gaze unflinching. “Tell her that I’ll wait for her here until she wants to see me.”Cathy frowned as she found this difficult to manage. When she saw the resolution in Jeremy’s eyes, she felt so envious and heartbroken at the same time.“Mr. Whitman, Evie really doesn’t want to see you. She won’t want to see you even if you wait here until nightfall.”“Then I shall wait until nightfall.” Jeremy insisted. He lifted his head to look at the l
Madeline and Felipe both looked at Cathy at the same time. Madeline already had some speculations in her heart.However, she saw Cathy shaking her hand in embarrassment and pretended that it was nothing. “I ate too much just now and had too many oily snacks, so that’s why my stomach isn’t feeling so good.”She rubbed her stomach and burped. “Felipe, I’ll go back to my room now.”Felipe looked at her ominously and nodded lightly.Cathy turned around and ran away quickly because she was scared that Felipe would sense something. When she went back to her room, her heart was beating so fast that she felt as if her heart was going into overdrive.She touched her stomach and gasped in lingering fear.‘I can’t let Felipe know that I’m pregnant.‘I can’t!‘If not, I won’t be able to keep this child.’In the living room.Felipe looked at Madeline’s painting and understood how Madeline was feeling at this moment.“Eveline, I wanted to bring you on a vacation so that you can clear
She had even promised the little girl that she would bring her here when she grew up.However, she did not think that they would never get to the day when she grew up.Madeline took out the little pendant she carried around her neck. Before this, Lillian would always carry it with her.She opened her eyes that had gotten red in the wind and caressed the pendant. “Lily, I’m taking you to Pirate Land now. Can you see?”She forced a smile. The pain in her heart was extremely evident and bone-crushing.Madeline could not control her emotions. She held the pendant and started crying.“Lillian…”However, she quickly thought about Jackson. She did not want to show any negative emotions in front of another child.Madeline wiped her eyes quickly and looked to her side.However, when she looked over, there was no one next to her. Aside from the people behind her in line, she did not see Jackson anywhere.Madeline felt as if her heart had plunged into a deep abyss. This loss of balance
Madeline held the phone tightly in her hand. Then, she zoomed in on the woman’s reflection again.Despite the woman intentionally wearing the same style of clothes as her, Madeline still noticed her shoes.She recalled the hotel that Jeremy and Felicity had gone to that day.When she entered the room, she saw this exact pair of shoes on the shoe rack by the door.Even though she had just glanced at it, she was sure that she was not mistaken.It was Felicity.She was the one who impersonated her and kidnapped the innocent Lillian.Since Felicity looked like her, Lillian must have thought Felicity was her dear mother. That was why she had run out without hesitation.Plus, Felicity had interacted with Jeremy before.When Madeline thought about this, she was conflicted.Jeremy noticed the changes in Madeline’s expression and got closer to her. He asked in concern, “Linnie, did you notice anything?”Madeline did not say anything after she came back to her senses. She only focused
