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
Then, Madeline started taking off her clothes in front of Jeremy. After that, she put on a bathrobe and pretended that she had just finished showering. Jeremy hugged Madeline when he saw her turning off the shower and was about to go out. His deep voice was filled with warning. “Don’t let him touch you. If not, you won’t get any peace tonight.”Madeline did not answer Jeremy. After he let go of her, she walked out and closed the door behind her.Felipe heard Madeline walking out and turned off his phone. Then, he looked at Madeline. “You were in a bad mood just now. What happened?”His tone was laced with concern while his eyes looked kind.Madeline shook her head. “I’m fine.”Felipe reached out his hand and placed it on Madeline’s stomach. “Is the child giving you a hard time? Our baby is so cheeky.”His movement was too sudden and Madeline immediately moved away from him.However, perhaps it was repulsion or rejection, Madeline suddenly felt nauseous.She held her stomach r
Madeline yelled Jeremy’s name in horror.When she looked at the splattered blood, she felt as if all the blood in her body was frozen.She pressed Jeremy’s gunshot wound hurriedly with her hands, but it did not seem to work. Her fair hands were quickly stained red and the crimson was hurting her eyes.“Jeremy, Jeremy.” Madeline’s heart was beating erratically. Her red hands held Jeremy’s handsome face as tears welled up in her eyes.Jeremy frowned and endured the searing pain from the gunshot wound. Then, he lifted his hand slowly to touch Madeline’s tear-drenched face. “Eveline, don’t cry. Don’t cry for scum like me.”His heart was breaking as he narrowed his eyes. They were filled with the same deep passion he had for her.“I won’t die before you return to me.” Although he was speaking weakly, it did not hinder the vigor in his eyes.Felipe put away his pistol and walked behind Jeremy. “Where’s the video?” he asked straightforwardly.Jeremy peered at him and curled his lips
Madeline’s question sent Felipe into a daze.His heart skipped a beat as he reflexively grabbed the hairband on his wrist.Cathy…The night turned dark.Madeline had been waiting the entire time Jeremy’s surgery was in process.Her restless heart only felt slightly relieved when the doctor told her that Jeremy had passed the critical stage.She knew Jeremy only got shot because he was trying to protect her. This man was always so cold to her, but his concern toward her was evident.It could be seen that he was only throwing a tantrum when he got engaged with Yvette.However, why did Yvette give her such a familiar feeling?Madeline kept waiting outside the operating theatre. Then, she fell asleep unbeknownst to her. When she woke up, it was already the next day. She had a blanket over her and there were two bodyguards next to her.She got up quickly. “Where’s Jeremy?”“Mr. Whitman has already settled Jeremy down, so don’t worry too much, Madam. You can go back to the manor
Madeline saw a man lying on a single bed in front of her.She would never mistake this man’s frame.She closed the door and walked over quickly.Jeremy heard noises but did not care. However, the footsteps getting closer sounded familiar.He turned over and saw Madeline. Then, his dark eyes lit up.When their eyes met, Madeline felt a pang of pain in her heart.He was wearing a thin shirt with his wound wrapped in bandages. However, she could see blood seeping from his wound.She felt horrible when she saw his haggard and pale face.“Jeremy.” She sat down on the bed and helped him up. “Are you okay? How’s your wound?”After Jeremy sat up, Madeline saw a thick chain attached to his right wrist. When he moved slightly, it would pull on the wound on his shoulder.Felipe had been locking up Jeremy.Madeline did not expect this. Jeremy looked calm. “You only came to visit me after so many days. Did you think I was already dead, Mrs. Whitman?”Madeline did not mind Jeremy’s col
“Jeremy, when I was pregnant with Jack and Lily, you weren’t concerned about me nor worried about me. Do you want me to be sad just like when I had my previous two pregnancies?”She got up.“I’m leaving. Don’t worry. I won’t kill you, but don’t you even think about killing the child inside me.”“Linnie.”Jeremy wanted to stop Madeline, but she left without looking back.His wound started hurting again, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.‘Linnie, the happiness I feel knowing that you’re carrying my child again is equivalent to the pain I feel knowing that I’m about to lose my child.‘However, nothing is more important than you in my heart.’Even though Madeline could not let Jeremy go, she knew she could not be discovered.She left the basement quietly and turned around to see a bodyguard walking in.Felipe was such a savage.He was not as gentle and poised as he looked. On the contrary, he was extremely sneaky and scheming.He even had the idea of locking
