Madeline’s unyielding gaze was like an icy tide flooding over his heart. The endless coldness overwhelmed him from his head to his toes.She was willing to risk her life for Felipe.He frowned and stared straight at Madeline. “Do you really love him that much?”Madeline looked into Jeremy’s hurtful eyes and said firmly, “Yes, I love him a lot. I love the father of the child I’m carrying now.”When Jeremy got this answer, an unstoppable rage appeared in the bottom of his eyes.He pulled the trigger all of a sudden.The bullet was fired out with a loud bang and hit the window on one side.When the glass shattered, Jeremy’s heart also shattered along with it.Madeline looked at Jeremy who had suddenly fired, and her heart was beating erratically.The man’s ominous eyes were filled with a murderous aura and his entire body was giving out a terrifying chill. It was as if he would devour everything in the next second.However, he suppressed all of his dissatisfaction and anger befo
Felipe’s words caused Madeline’s body to turn cold.She turned around quickly and asked nervously, “Felipe, what are you trying to do? What do you want to do with Jeremy?”Felipe frowned. “I won’t let someone who wants to ruin my foundation leave F Country alive!”Madeline felt a pang of pain in her heart after she heard that.“Felipe, Jeremy is your nephew! Do you really want to kill him?”“Nephew?” Felipe scoffed sarcastically. “Back when that old fart killed my parents, did he ever consider that my father was also his brother?”“Grandpa wouldn’t have done that. There must be some misunderstanding!” Madeline emphasized, but it was obvious that Felipe would not listen to her.He looked at Madeline’s worried eyes and curled his lips into a smirk. “Even if it is, it won’t stop what’s going to happen to Jeremy next.”“Felipe, tell your men to stop this now!”“It’s too late.” Felipe smiled lightly, his eyes turning dark.Madeline felt her vision going black, and she could not ex
Madeline stood motionlessly at the door and looked at the man who was pointing the gun at her.Her erratic heart started calming down slowly.Jeremy was pointing the gun at her, and there was still some wet blood on his palms. There were also splatters of blood on his brown leather jacket.His eyes were deep as night and filled with killing intent and malice. At this moment, they were staring straight at Madeline heatedly.He looked just like a demon who had gone through a massacre. A murderous aura was emitting from his every pore. Even so, he still looked extremely handsome.When he saw that the person who had just walked in was Madeline, the dark aura behind his eyes went away slightly. However, sarcasm started to appear in his eyes instead.“Are you here to see if I’m dead?” he asked sarcastically and slowly walked toward Madeline. “You’re such a good wife to Felipe. Not only did you hire so many assassins to kill me, but you’ve even come to check for yourself if the deed was
The chopper zoomed past the assassins and disappeared after it turned the corner.Felipe got wind that Jeremy had escaped with Madeline, hence he ordered his people to hunt them down. However, after the entire morning, they still did not find Jeremy.“Jeremy.” He spat out his name through gritted teeth. “As long as you’re in F Country, you won’t be able to escape from the palm of my hand.”…Inside a hotel in the secluded outskirts of town, Madeline was brought into a small room that was only about 60 square feet.The rain was making a dull sound on the window, and Madeline was waiting nervously for the man to return.Madeline did not know what Jeremy was going to do. He had been gone for half an hour. Therefore, she started to worry.She wanted to go look for him, but he had locked the door before he left.At this moment, she heard the sound of the door unlocking, so she lifted her eyes to look over.Jeremy walked in with a calm expression. He was holding a take-out box, then
Madeline was not prepared at all, and her nose touched the man’s sturdy chest.She widened her eyes and looked at the handsome man showering in front of her in dumbfoundedness. At that moment, she felt the heat rising at the tip of her nose.Water drops were falling from her head, blurring her vision. She wanted to lift her hand to wipe away the droplets on her eyelashes. However, Jeremy grabbed her wrist all of a sudden. Then, he used his right hand that was attached to the rope to hold her head. In an instant, he planted a kiss on her lips domineeringly.Madeline was shocked. She only remembered to push him away when her entire body was soaked. However, when she touched his naked flesh, she could feel her fingertips burning.She was worried that the man would lose his reason, so she tried to pull his wrist away forcefully. However, her resistance only elicited his lust for dominance.Madeline had no choice but to bite him.Jeremy frowned and stopped what he was doing.He opene
She looked at him and did not fight back. On the contrary, she held his hand and closed her eyes.“Jeremy…”Madeline called out his name softly, but before she could say anything more, Jeremy pressed his lips against hers without being able to control himself.Madeline felt her heart getting confused.Her brain was blank.She did not remember how she ended up in bed with the man.Jeremy’s kiss landed on her face, and when he was about to remove Madeline’s clothes, he saw her wearing the colorful shell on her neck like a necklace.Jeremy’s heart started beating erratically. Then, he kissed the shell appreciatively.Even though they did not have a comfortable bed, for Jeremy, it was more than enough to stay with Madeline in a small and simple room.The next day, Madeline woke up in Jeremy’s arms. Her face immediately heated up.She remembered what happened last night and she started panicking.What happened to her last night?She was indulging in his embrace as if she had fal
Even though Jeremy was not a doctor, he knew how to read data and indexes.He took out his phone and took a picture of all of the papers. Then, he sent them to Adam.With the result in hand, he ran to the doctor’s office.The doctor looked at the result and frowned. “Did your wife have a tumor in the same place previously? If she did, then it might be a relapse.”Jeremy felt his temple throbbing. Then, he remembered the time when he was told Madeline was sick and already at the end of her life.He did not expect the same thing to happen again.“If she decides to take the risk and give birth to this baby, she might die. You should arrange for surgery as soon as possible. It won’t be too late for you to have another child when she recovers.”Jeremy walked out of the clinic dispiritedly. He firmly believed that this child belonged to Felipe.However, for some reason, after he heard this news, he felt sorry for Madeline. At the same time, he felt heartbroken and remorseful for havi
Madeline’s cheek turned hotter. When she was about to say something, she heard the sound of footsteps from the entrance of the alley.Jeremy looked up vigilantly and held Madeline’s hand again. His fingers were intertwined with hers as he turned around quickly.“Over here!” Suddenly, someone yelled from behind them.Madeline let go of Jeremy’s hand. “Go. They won’t do anything to me. However, Felipe will never forgive you if you’re caught.”“I won’t let you go back to Felipe!” Jeremy’s determination was unwavering.“Jeremy! I love you! I love you, okay? Go back to Glendale now!” Madeline yelled at him.However, Jeremy did not think that Madeline was telling the truth. On the other hand, she sounded like she was trying to muddle through this and chase him away.His expression turned darker and he grabbed Madeline’s hand tighter. Then, he quickly called a cab before going back to the hotel they had stayed in last night.After Madeline got out of the car, she felt a pain in her lo
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
