More than half an hour later, Cathy came down from the stairs. "Evie, Jeremy’s hypnosis has been undone. He hasn’t fully woken up yet. When he wakes up, he will completely remember you, how much he loves you, and everything between you both."Madeline breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Thank you, Cathy."Cathy felt even more ashamed. "Don't thank me. I'm just trying to make up for it.""Evie, then I’ll be leaving first. I wish you and Jeremy happiness in the future.""Cathy, wait." Madeline held her. "You told me on the phone that you’re leaving. Where are you going? Do you want to leave Glendale?""Yeah." Cathy forced herself to put on a smile on her lips, revealing her charming dimples. "Felipe agreed to let me be with the man I like, so I’ve decided to look for him. I hope that one day, we can be like you and Jeremy and depend on each other for life and death."She smiled enviously, but her eyes were red."Goodbye, Evie. This may be the last time we meet."After C
What?Jumping into the river? Suicide?Felipe's fingers that were holding the phone suddenly trembled. "What are you talking about? What do you mean jumped into the river? Hold the phone and don't move from there. I'm coming over right now!"He rushed out. As he was driving to the destination, Felipe was so restless that even his hands that were clutching the steering wheel were trembling slightly.Cathy's face flashed in his mind. She was looking at him carefully.Felipe did not know how long it took before he finally reached the place where the person said that someone had jumped into the river.The location was a bit remote and there were not many people watching, but some firefighters had gone down to salvage the situation.Felipe walked over quickly. Just then, there was a man holding a mobile phone and looking at the photos on the screensaver before walking toward him. "Are you the boyfriend of the girl who just jumped into the river? Look at this, yeah? This is your girlf
[Felipe, you should know better than I that loving and being loved cannot be equal. Eveline Montgomery loves Jeremy Crawford. I hope you’ll stop obsessing over her. Goodbye, Felipe. From now on, there won’t ever be a lady called Cathy who will pester you unknowingly.]After seeing the message, a tide of complex emotions set off in Felipe’s eyes.He had not allowed her to go against his order and break Jeremy’s hypnosis without his authorization.Moreover, he had not allowed the girl who kept saying that she would stay with him and pester him forever to disappear from his world like this.… Whitman Manor.Half a year had passed and a lot of weeds had grown in the courtyard.The servants were cleaning up the place as instructed.“I didn’t expect to be here again.” Old Master Whitman sighed. “I thought I won’t ever be coming back until the day I died.”“Grandpa, your body is recovering well. You’ll live a long life.” Madeline wished him sincerely.“I’m already very happy to see
Madeline rushed to the desk and picked up the computer.Felipe looked at Madeline’s agitated reaction and chuckled indifferently.“I’ve said it before. I won’t do anything that will hurt you. Do you see it now?”Madeline looked at the lively and cheerful little figure shown in the surveillance footage as tears welled in her eyes. Her emotions at this moment were incomparable.“Felipe Whitman, where is this?!” She pressed hard.Felipe, however, had no intention to tell her. He walked to her and raised his hand. As soon as his slender fingers touched Madeline’s cheek, she dodged away.He frowned unhappily, an obscure and gloomy smile appearing on his face. “Do you still remember what you promised me back then? You said you’d bring Lilian and follow me back to F Country to live a peaceful life after your revenge. I’ve been waiting for the day to come, but you broke your promise.”Madeline looked straight into Felipe’s black orbs frankly. “You know best in your heart why things have
There was an unspeakable pain from her distress.Why was it always so difficult? She just wanted to live a simple and peaceful life with her beloved.Felipe went back to Cathy’s room and stood by the French windows. Seeing Madeline’s retreating figure, he wrapped Cathy’s hair band around his distinct jointed fingers as his gaze gradually deepened.“Didn’t you ask me to make Eveline and Jeremy whole? I won’t. If you want to stop me, then come stop me, you hear me?”He looked at the hair band and ordered, but what responded to him was only his uneasy heartbeat.It started to snow again on the winter night.Madeline lay on the bed silently after taking a bath.Her head was full of the real-time video that she had seen at Felipe’s place as well as his threatening words.She closed her eyes but could not sleep peacefully no matter what.Felipe, why did he become like this?Madeline was very sad. She did not notice that Jeremy was laying down next to her until he gently kissed the
Madeline did not resist anymore. Thinking that this might be the only joy and happiness that could be given to Jeremy before their parting, she slowly raised her arms to hug him tightly and took the initiative to kiss his lips…The next day.Madeline woke up from a long and deep dream. Jeremy was no longer in bed and his remaining warmth had gone, but his scent still lingered in her nose.She reached out and gently stroked the pillow that he had slept on.‘Jeremy, I believe that if you were me, you would also make the same decision.‘There’s nothing more important than the safety and health of our children.’After Madeline had washed up and changed her clothes, she saw Karen walking toward her as soon as she left the room.Karen groaned angrily as soon as she saw Madeline. “Jeremy got up three hours ago and made breakfast for Jack. He even sent the child to kindergarten after eating and has to go to work now. How can you, as a wife, sleep so peacefully?”Madeline adjusted her c
Her heart was in pain, but her expression was indifferent and even dismissive.‘It’s pretty good.‘To have him hear this, it’s pretty good.’“Jeremy, did you hear that? Did you see it? This is the true face of Eveline Montgomery! She deliberately approached you just to get revenge! Jeremy, be a little clear-headed. Don’t be fooled by this woman again!” Karen yelled at Jeremy angrily and anxiously.Madeline stepped forward unhurriedly and continued walking downstairs.When she passed by Jeremy, she paused. “Jeremy, I—”“I know, you were just pissing my mom off on purpose,” he said while smiling faintly, handing the baby’s breath to her. “Linnie, this is for you. I bought them from the flower shop I passed by when I came back.”Madeline looked at the flower bouquet he handed over and her heart hurt more.“Are you heading out? Where to? I’ll send you there.”“No need.” Madeline opened her lips impassively, her gaze even more contemptuous. “I’m going to look for your Uncle Felipe
Madeline saw the computer screen lighting up, followed by the sound of Felipe’s voice.This time, what was displayed was no longer a surveillance image but a real-time video session.Madeline saw the unfamiliar environment again, and immediately afterward, an innocent, cute, smart, and well-behaved doll-like face appeared on the screen.“Lilian!” Madeline yelled out uncontrollably.On the screen, Lilian could hear Madeline’s cry. She fluttered her clear big eyes, rushed to the computer screen confusedly, and yelled, “Mommy! Mommy!”This voice was indeed Lilian’s.Madeline lifted her hand to cover her lips in disbelief as tears instantly fell.“Lilian, Lilian can you see Mommy? Is it really you? Lilian!” she questioned anxiously, wishing that she had the magic to pull out the little cutie from the computer screen.Lilian was still young and did not know much about video calls, but she saw Madeline on the computer screen and even heard her mother’s voice.“Mommy, Lily misses you
