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
Madeline looked at him proudly, “Yes, my and Jeremy’s child.”Felipe’s face darkened immediately. He wanted to know more about this when Madeline said irrefutably, “Felipe, the child in my stomach has nothing to do with you. You thought we did something that night, but actually, you were just hallucinating because of the aromatherapy kit I made especially for you.“You were just dreaming. It was just a dream that you wanted to happen.”Felipe believed Madeline’s skills in blending perfumes, but this truth was too much for him.All this while, he believed that Madeline was carrying his child. He thought he finally had her. He never imagined that the night they spent together was nothing more than a dream.He felt pathetic, but when he thought about it, he did have a dream that night. In that dream, the woman who was entangled with him was Cathy.“Felipe, from now on, I won’t be threatened by you. If you dare to ask someone to hurt Jeremy, I’ll hand the video to the police myself.
Felipe understood immediately after he heard that.‘Eveline, so this is why you’re siding with Fabian.‘You’re a woman of beauty and wits indeed.‘However, if you think you can reunite with your family like this, you’re still too naive.‘Perhaps it’s time you know what kind of person I really am.’…Hospital.Cathy looked at the time and went to the manor according to the time set by Felipe.However, when she turned around, she saw Felipe charging over to her.His face gave off chills, and cold air was emitting from his body. It was obvious he was not in a good mood.Cathy could sense that Felipe was here to cause trouble for Jeremy. As such, she blocked the door.“What are you doing here? You said as long as I appear in the manor on time every night that you won’t come to cause trouble for Jeremy.” Cathy reminded him in a small voice. She was worried that Jeremy would overhear them.Felipe scoffed nonchalantly. “You think too highly of yourself. Cathy, do you think you’re
Jeremy could not believe what he was seeing, so he snatched Felipe’s phone over.After looking at it properly, he noticed that this video had not been edited. The date on the video was clearly stated as well.“So? Are you surprised?” Felipe looked at the changes on Jeremy’s expression in satisfaction. “Do you think that this is worth dying for?”Jeremy ignored Felipe because his eyes were glued on the adorable little figure on the video.He reached out his hand to touch the adorable doll-like face in the video as tears welled up in his eyes.“Lillian.”“Are you over the moon now that you know your daughter is alive and well?”Felipe’s tone was sarcastic, and his eyes looked arrogant.“Back then, I was able to fake Eveline’s death and take her to F Country to make her disappear from your life. Now, I have the same power to ‘kill’ Lillian once again.”Jeremy held his phone and lifted his eyebrow. “Felipe, you even went as far as taking action against a child!”“It’s because you
This was understandable.Lillian was his daughter, so how could he be fine with someone else hurting his daughter?However, not all fathers loved their children.Cathy scoffed in sarcasm. When she thought about the two children Felipe killed, she felt debilitating pain in her heart.Felipe walked out of the room. When he saw Cathy spacing out, his eyes darkened.“Come with me,” he ordered. However, he only saw Cathy looking at him with resentment in her eyes. “What? Are you scared that Jeremy can’t come back? You know who the Stygian Johnsons are, and indeed, I want him to never come back.”“You’re a devil.” Cathy’s eyes were filled with contempt.Felipe pulled her to him, his handsome features looking icy. “The Whitmans owe me this.”“Even if Old Master Whitman was at fault, you shouldn’t blame Jeremy. You keep thinking that others have wronged you, but now I see it all clearly. You’re just jealous of Jeremy, and you’re jealous that he’s better than you at everything!”“Shut
