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
Jeremy’s eyes darkened when he heard what Madeline said.However, his eyes became cold again. “I know you’re only saying this to protect Felipe’s child, but Eveline, you have to abort it.”“Jeremy! If you dare force me into getting this abortion, I will never forgive you for as long as I live!” Madeline glared at the man with no expression, and at this moment, she was emotional. “If you dare to hurt the child in me, then you should kill me first.”Madeline walked past him with her hands shaking.If she had not asked, her child would have been gone.She felt a chill when she thought about it.However, before she could go far, Jeremy stopped her.“Let go!” She struggled.“You can’t have this child,” Jeremy emphasized. Suddenly, he carried Madeline by her waist and walked into the operating theatre.Madeline’s heart sank. “Jeremy, put me down! I won’t allow you to hurt my child! Jeremy!”She gripped the man’s collar tightly, but the man was unwavering.“Jeremy! This is your chi
“Eveline, listen to me.”“Get out!” Madeline’s voice was trembling and her hands were also shaking. “I don’t want to see you. Go! Go back to Glendale. Don’t let me see you here!”She glared while kicking him out. Tears were pouring out of her eyes uncontrollably.She did not want to think that Jeremy would go as far as killing their child.This was even worse than the pain he gave her back then.Jeremy did not want to continue pestering her when he saw her in such a devastating state. “You should calm down. I’ll wait outside.”Jeremy walked out and closed the door behind him.He looked at Madeline through the small window before sitting down at one side.He knew Madeline had misunderstood him.However, it was expected.It was nearing afternoon, and Jeremy was going to buy lunch for Madeline, so he left for a while. Before he left, he asked the nurse to watch over Madeline.The nurse agreed without hesitating since Jeremy was an extremely handsome man.Madeline looked at the
Felipe was surprised. He looked at the dispirited and pale person in front of him, asking, “Did Jeremy release you?”Madeline nodded without an expression on her face. “Yeah, he did. He even promised not to expose you, but as a condition, you have to let him go back to Glendale.”Felipe listened to her, then asked with a soft smile, “Eveline, is that your condition or his condition?”“Doesn’t matter whose condition it is. You can’t keep asking people to hunt him down anymore.” Madeline was firm, and there was a hint of dominance in her red eyes. “If you ask someone to hunt him down again, then don’t expect the child in my stomach to come to this world safely.”After she said that, Felipe’s smile disappeared.When she said this, Madeline felt as if a thousand knives were slicing through her heart.A few hours ago, she had been forced to undergo an abortion.The child was gone.However, she would not let Felipe know this.Of course, she would not let him know that the child had
“You want me to believe you and every word you say, but have you forgotten, Eveline? You’re the one who told me that the child in your stomach belonged to Felipe!”“...”Madeline was speechless, but then, she heard Jeremy saying, “That child shouldn’t be alive in your stomach.”Slap!Madeline slapped Jeremy once again.Two bodyguards walked past when they were smoking. When they heard the noise, they walked into the basement vigilantly.“There are noises coming from down here.”“I don’t think so?”“I’ll go take a look.”“I’ll come with.”The two bodyguards walked to the door of the basement. After they opened the door, they turned on the switch next to them.However, there was nothing in the room. There was not even a rat, let alone a human.“I told you that you misheard it. Hurry up and finish your cigarette so we can go back. We’ll be finished if Mr. Whitman comes back and sees us slacking off.”The two bodyguards exchanged a few more words before turning off the lights
Madeline turned her face away and showed Jeremy her icy side profile.“Felipe will be back soon. If you don’t leave now, then you’ll never get a chance to.” Madeline reminded him coldly.“Are you concerned about me? My ex-wife is concerned about me?” Jeremy’s voice was mixed with a hint of laughter. However, it was also filled to the brim with sarcasm.His warm fingers pinched Madeline’s chin, forcing her to face him.He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her red and teary eyes.“Eveline, am I really such a cold-blooded and heartless man in your heart? You ask me to believe you, but have you ever believed me?”After he said that, Madeline felt her heart shaking.At this moment, they heard the sound of a car downstairs. Felipe was back.Jeremy walked to the window and took a look. However, he did not panic at all. “I won’t go anywhere for the time being. I’ll just stay here.”“Jeremy, are you insane?”“Yes, I am insane. I’ve already lost all reason the moment you tol
