“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
Looking at the worried and anxious face in front of him, Fabian realized something was wrong.“Oh no!”His expression changed as he turned around to chase after the Madeline who took Lillian.Madeline did not know what was going on. She only heard Fabian saying ‘oh no’ out loud.She knew Lillian had to be in trouble. As such, she quickly chased up to him.However, after a few steps, she felt some discomfort in her lower abdomen.When she thought about her condition, she did not dare to continue running anymore.“Fabian, where’s my daughter?” she yelled at Fabian’s back as he ran hurriedly.However, it was as if Fabian did not hear her. Madeline looked in the direction Fabian ran in, and under the intertwining rays of light, she saw Lillian’s confused face.At this moment, a woman was holding Lillian. Then, the woman quickly hailed a cab by the side of the road before getting inside with Lillian.“Lillian!”“Sh*t!” Fabian cursed. He wanted to stop a car to continue the chase,
“Looking for your daughter? Who’s your daughter?” “Lillian Whitman.” Jeremy raised his frosty gaze. “The four-year-old girl you Stygian Johnsons stole from Felipe’s outer courtyard.” Confused, Yorick leaned over to quietly ask Fabian, who stood beside him, about what was happening. Watching the two whisper between themselves, Jeremy demanded coldly, “Give my daughter back to me.” Yorick quirked an eyebrow and chuckled. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to return your daughter. However, a price must be paid.” “Stop!” Yorick was about to go for Jeremy’s life when a woman’s voice suddenly called for them to halt. Her voice shot through Jeremy’s gloomy heart like a warm ray of sunshine. He quickly turned his head to stare at the woman who was striding toward him. “Linnie.” “Why are you here, Jeremy?” Madeline stared at the man in front of her with concern. “Didn’t I tell you to rest in the hospital?” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand with excitement shining in his eyes. “It’s L
Madeline stared at the bag thrown off to the side. The bag was far from large, but it was certainly big enough to hold a four-year-old. Not to mention that with how heartless Meredith was, Madeline would not be surprised if she had done such a thing. Staring blankly at the bag for a few seconds, Madeline quickly went over to it. Meredith watched Madeline open the bag anxiously and tiptoed behind Madeline. Raising the shovel in her hands, Meredith’s eyes were fierce. ‘Go to hell, Eveline! ‘Between you and I, only one of us can survive!’She aimed the shovel at the back of Madeline’s head and swung as hard as she could. Meredith was about to get away with it when Madeline suddenly turned around and evaded her attack, catching her wrist. “Did you think I wouldn’t know that I’m the person you want dead the most, Meredith? Did you think that I’d still be as careless as I used to be?” Madeline’s gaze was sharp. Her will as a mother was giving her strength. “I’m your target.
