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
Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s hand and placed it on her stomach. “Are you happy with this answer?”Jeremy was stunned. His brain could not register what was happening at the moment.However, gradually, he began to understand what Madeline wanted to say.His hand rubbed against her small bump softly, and he felt a surge of joy that he had never felt before rising in his chest.‘My child.‘My child with Linnie.’Jeremy felt remorseful that he had never appreciated her or taken care of her when she was pregnant before this.He had never even touched her stomach before.However, when he thought about her condition, he felt an ache in his heart again.He would choose Madeline without a second thought if he had to choose between her and the child.Jeremy decided to tell Madeline about her condition when he heard her saying, “Jeremy, when I was pregnant with Jack and Lily, you weren’t by my side. You have to carry out the responsibility as a father for this child no matter what. So, lis
“Felipe, I don’t love you anymore.”That statement penetrated through Felipe’s heart, and in that instant, he felt a chill spreading across his back. It was as if something had shattered inside his body.Cathy pushed Felipe’s hand away firmly without a trace of longing in her eyes. “Felipe, you’ve disappointed me so much. I’ll repay you for the sponsorship for the past ten or so years. From now on, there will be no debt between us anymore.”She wanted to turn around and leave when she suddenly remembered something.She looked at the man who was standing at the same spot with a solemn expression. “Don’t try to take action against my fiancé again. If not, I’ll send the video to the police.”Felipe’s eyes darkened when he heard this. He stared at Cathy’s back coldly. “Cathy Jordan, are you threatening me for another man?”Cathy stopped and replied coldly, “For me, you’re the irrelevant man now.”Felipe stared at Cathy’s figure in disbelief. A fire of rage and jealousy was burning b
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
