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
Jeremy’s roars invaded her ears.Madeline could feel the intense dissatisfaction and anger in his voice.Perhaps death was not scary to a man, but the thing he did not want to face the most was watching a woman he loved walking toward another man.However, Felipe was ecstatic. The more Jeremy was in pain, the happier he would be.When he saw Madeline walking over to him, he reached out his hand to hold Madeline’s.“Eveline Montgomery!” Jeremy could not stand the sight of Madeline walking over to Felipe.He completely ignored his wound and struggled to break free. The sudden burst of energy caused him to break the chains on his wrist.When this happened, Felipe was beyond astonished. Even the bodyguards behind him were shocked.How could he have broken the chains?However, Jeremy was so focused on the task at hand that he immediately charged toward Madeline.When Felipe saw this, he lifted his hand to command the bodyguards.However, when they lifted their guns to point at Je
“No, I won’t allow that. It’s been so many days and I need to take my husband home.”Suddenly, a woman’s sweet voice sounded from the door of the basement.Madeline looked over and saw Yvette ignoring the aggressive bodyguard as she calmly walked in.Felipe saw Yvette’s sudden appearance and the expression in his eyes changed.He even felt that his heart was starting to beat erratically.Yvette did not mind Felipe’s gaze. She walked toward Jeremy, and when she saw the blood on his back, her expression changed. “Jeremy, you’re hurt. I’ll take you to the hospital now.”Yvette pulled him up, but Jeremy refused to let go of Madeline’s hand.When Madeline saw the determination in his eyes, she pulled her hand away. “Jeremy, go now. Don’t make your fiancée worry about you.”“Mrs. Whitman is right. Jeremy, let’s go.” Yvette looked at Jeremy, noticing that his eyes had been on Madeline this whole time.Yvette did not want to waste any more time. She grabbed Jeremy’s arm and forcefully
He was still trying to gradually force this woman to admit her identity, but unbeknownst to him, she was exposing herself without even hesitating.As he looked at the charming and seductive face in front of him, he could not help but think about the sweet and lovely face from his memory.Felipe felt as if his heart had been sliced by an invisible knife. He reached out his hand to grab Cathy’s wrist, pulling her toward him.“What’s wrong with your face? Why did you undergo plastic surgery? Just so you can pretend to be a stranger in front of me?”His tone was cold, and his eyes looked overbearing.However, there was no fear in Cathy’s eyes anymore. On the other hand, she curled her lips into a smirk of disdain.“Mr. Whitman, you think too highly of yourself. I got plastic surgery because I was disfigured by someone.”Felipe’s pupils constricted as rage appeared under his eyes. “What did you say? You were disfigured? Who did that?”“I don’t know who they were, but I know you were
After two days of staying in the hospital, Jeremy felt better.In those two days, he missed Madeline a lot. He was also worried whether she would be threatened by Felipe. However, at this moment, Madeline appeared in front of him.At the same time, Felipe was next to her.Jeremy’s softened gaze became sharp in an instant.He ignored his wound and lifted the blanket to get out of bed.Madeline ran toward him and stopped him. “Watch out for your wound.”Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and looked at her face in concern. “Did he cause you any trouble?”“Do you want me to?” Felipe snorted. “I don’t have a kink for bullying women.”When Jeremy heard that, he felt that Felipe was being ridiculous. “Don’t you feel any shame when you say that? Have you forgotten about the girl who miscarried twice and decided to kill herself out of despair because of you?”Felipe’s face darkened. Meanwhile, Madeline could immediately guess that the girl Jeremy mentioned was Cathy.However, she did not kno
