Cathy noticed something amiss with Felipe’s expression when he said that.However, when her brain registered what was going on and she was about to push him away, Felipe picked her up by the waist.“What are you doing? Felipe!” Cathy struggled, but she could not win against Felipe in terms of strength.A storm started brewing behind Felipe’s eyes when he was met with Cathy’s struggles.She had never rejected him.Never!He threw her on the sofa furiously. The gentleness he once had was all gone.Cathy frowned in pain and grabbed Felipe’s arms tightly.She never expected that this man would do something like this to her.Tears streamed down Cathy’s face as Felipe’s eyes darkened. Then, he pinched her alluring face. “Do you remember now? Hmm?”Cathy closed her eyes and refused to look at this face that she still loved deeply.She could not see the rage behind Felipe’s eyes. He was sure Cathy had lost all feelings for him.“Look at me.” He forced her to open her eyes to look a
His elegant and handsome face was filled with dark clouds. “Jeremy, what did you do to Cathy? Why is she so obedient to you? Are you going to steal everything I want from me, be it my woman or career?”Jeremy lay on the bed without even batting an eyelid. “Things that were stolen, be it people or items, will slip away sooner or later. Felipe, Cathy loved you deeply back then but you didn’t appreciate her.”It was as if Felipe had heard a colossal joke. “Did you appreciate Eveline back then? Why is she still not willing to let a scumbag like you go after you almost caused her to lose her life?”Jeremy widened his narrow eyes and looked at Felipe coldly. “We’re the same in that we’re both scumbags. However, at least I reflected. What about you? Did you ever feel an ounce of remorse after knowing Cathy killed herself for you? You didn’t. If you did, you would’ve stopped pestering my wife.”“Your wife?” Felipe snorted. “Your wife is now in another man’s arms.”Jeremy sat up abruptly,
Madeline could feel Jeremy pressing her. Hence, she grabbed his hand. “Jeremy, do you trust me?”“I do.” He did not hesitate before answering her. There was a gentle look in his eyes. “But Linnie, let me share the load with you.”Madeline told him after she felt his sincerity, “Jeremy, everything will be taken care of soon. You just have to know that the reason I was cold to you is that I have some troubles I need to keep a secret.”Jeremy was confused. Then, he asked, “Linnie, why won’t you tell me the truth?”“I don’t want to take the risk.” Madeline suppressed the urge to tell him that Lillian was still alive. “I can’t risk it.”Jeremy did not dare ask again after looking at the determination in Madeline’s eyes.He held Madeline’s hand and placed it next to his lips before kissing it. “It’s enough knowing that there’s another reason why you’ve been ignoring me and giving me the cold shoulder.”“When you find out, you’ll be ecstatic.” Madeline smiled. She believed that if Je
Madeline wanted to show the man a good time after knowing about all the hardships he went through, but it was as if he had started to lose control.Madeline opened her eyes and grabbed his hand. “We still have time, so let’s not do this now.”Jeremy could not control himself, but he could not go against Madeline’s wishes either. Therefore, he could only hold her and go to sleep.…Felipe did not know Madeline was in Jeremy’s room.He thought Madeline was still at Fabian’s place.Fabian Johnson.Felipe felt an extreme repulsion toward that man.It was not just because Madeline was siding with Fabian, but it was also because Cathy was disfigured by the Stygian Johnsons.He pulled open his drawer and took out an album.The album was filled with Cathy’s photos.It was all photos of when he first sponsored her until the day she graduated. All of her photos were kept in this album.Cathy looked sweet and naive, giving others the impression of a good girl. However, her personality
Jeremy knew he could not hide from her anymore. Even so, he did not nod. On the contrary, he explained softly, “Linnie, it’s not as bad as you think. It’s just that…”“What?”“You’re having symptoms of a relapse.” Jeremy found those words extremely difficult to say.A relapse?Madeline remembered how she got sick when she had Jackson.The pain still felt fresh now that she thought about it.She touched her stomach gently and finally understood why Jeremy had been insisting on having her abort the child.“Linnie, don’t be too pessimistic. I asked the doctor and as long as you have the surgery, you’ll be fine. There will be a near 100 percent chance of recovery as well.”He held her hand and felt remorseful. There was a forced smile on his handsome face.“Linnie, actually… Actually, it’s fine even if we only have Jackson. I don’t want to see you suffer again. The doctor said maybe it’s the condition of your body, so as long as you don’t get pregnant, you won’t have this problem
When she had Jackson back then, her health was worse than it was now. When she was wrongfully incarcerated, she almost could not keep her child and almost died in prison.However, Daniel sent her some pills and these pills helped her safely deliver Jackson.Plus, she also struggled whilst at death's door for some time.However, she was curious about what Jeremy thought of Adam.At this moment, Cathy returned.She handed them the pills she got from Adam.There were a few pills in the small and transparent bottle.When Madeline saw this, she recognized them immediately. “These pills…”“I knew you wouldn’t agree to the abortion, so I contacted Adam way before.”Jeremy’s answer solved Madeline’s curiosity.However, she still did not understand. “How did you know that I survived my sickness because of Adam’s pills back then?”Jeremy smiled, his eyes filled with self-blame. “Even though I’m slow to everything, I still tried my best to find out everything about you after, Linnie.”
When she walked over to take a closer look at it, the door of the study opened.Felipe entered.When he saw Cathy here on time, he curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.Cathy was stunned by his soft smile and gentle look. However, when she thought about the two children she lost, she felt her heart growing cold again.“I guess you’re willing to do anything for Jeremy now,” Felipe said profoundly, walking in front of Cathy.Cathy turned her face away in disgust. “Jeremy is my fiancé, so of course I’m willing to do everything for him.”Felipe’s smile disappeared. He did not want to hear Cathy telling him that she was concerned about another man.“Since you care about him so much, then from now on, please me. If not, don’t even expect him to leave F Country safely.”The threats that fell into Cathy’s ears were like the words of a devil. Once again, they crushed her heart.Cathy did not know how much time had passed. When she woke up, there was no one next to her, but sh
“My love and obsession for you went away the moment my two children left my body.”Cathy snorted.“I regret falling in love with a man like you at first sight.”Felipe scoffed. “You’re done regretting. Cathy, don’t even think of escaping from the palm of my hand as long as you live. You belong to me forever.”His possessive eyes enveloped her and completely overwhelmed Cathy’s gaze that was filled with resistance.…In the next few days, Jeremy’s wounds started to recover slowly, but there was still a long way to go until he had a full recovery.In these few days, Madeline would come to see him, eat with him, and feed him his medicine.Jeremy told her that Felipe had not come and caused trouble for him in these few days. Those bodyguards had stopped crowding the door as well.Madeline sensed that something was amiss. She knew Felipe would not let Jeremy off the hook so easily, so she figured there had to be something behind this.Cathy listened at one side and did not say any
