Madeline returned to the car. The air in the basement made her mind less chaotic than before, but her hands that were holding the steering wheel were shaking.She persuaded herself to calm down, but she had no strength to drive anymore.Her mind was now filled with images of Jeremy and Lana kissing each other.The woman's triumphant smile and the man's disdainful eyebrows resembled his cold attitude toward her back then.Yet, Madeline kept feeling that Jeremy had a reason for his behavior today.She was incapable of driving now, so she had been waiting in the car.She did not know how long she had been waiting. She imagined Jeremy and Lana still being in the same room at this moment, imagining what they might be doing. Madeline's heart hurt.She could not sit here and wait.Madeline got out of the car and was about to take the elevator up when she saw Jeremy walking toward where she was.The man was now neatly dressed, looking awe-inspiring and elegant."Jeremy," Madeline cal
Jeremy suddenly heard a dull crash, like a heavy object falling to the groundHe thought Madeline was smashing things while sulking and became more worried.“Linnie.” He knocked on the door and called out, “Linnie, are you alright?”Jeremy asked but did not receive any response from Madeline.His sudden and restless heartbeat made Jeremy unable to wait any longer. He tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.“Linnie, what are you doing inside? Linnie!”Jeremy’s voice held a little more panic and confusion.He threw away the pillow and lifted his long legs to kick the lock of the door.As soon as the door was kicked open, Jeremy saw Madeline lying on the bedside and the pills that were scattered all over the floor. His eyes were suddenly filled with horror.“Linnie!” He hurriedly ran to Madeline’s side and hugged her.Seeing Madeline’s face that was as pale as snow, Jeremy was in a mess. “Linnie, wake up! Eveline! Eveline Montogomery!”No matter how Jeremy ca
“I’m not talking nonsense.” Lana opened the video in her phone gallery and handed the phone to Jeremy.The contents of the video showed Madeline entering the hotel room not long ago.Jeremy watched the video and listened to the dialogue, an expression of shock over his face.Madeline had mistaken this strange man who was dressed just like him as him!He understood why Madeline had not let him touch her, even calling him dirty.Yet, how could this be? The man was clearly not him. They looked completely different. Apart from the clothes, there was no similarity between him and this man, but Madeline really thought that the man was him.“Lana, what tricks did you use? Why is Madeline like this?!” Jeremy questioned, his heart tightening inch by inch by something invisible.He could imagine how upset and disappointed Madeline had been when she thought the man was him.Lana tossed a bag of pink pills into Jeremy’s hand. “A type of drug that can cause hallucinations. Isn’t it amazing?
Madeline had just regained consciousness. The last thing she wanted to see as soon as she opened her eyes was Jeremy and Lana talking in front of the door of the ward.The last thing she expected was for Lana to kiss Jeremy so suddenly with a bright smile.Madeline suddenly clenched her fists and sat up. She was about to get off the bed when she felt a throbbing pain in her abdomen. She reflexively held her belly.Lana knew that her attempt this time would not succeed, and indeed, she was pushed aside harshly by Jeremy once again.However, their position and actions just now were enough to make Madeline think that Lana kissed Jeremy.Jeremy still wanted to ask Lana to get the medicine, but when he heard the noise in the ward and looked back, he found that Madeline was already awake.“Get out of here, don’t be an eyesore in front of my wife.”He sent Lana away in a cold voice and immediately pushed the door to enter. Seeing Madeline frowning and holding her belly, he felt even mo
Madeline was picked up by another man?“He’s a gentleman with glasses, quite handsome.” The man described by the nurse immediately reminded Jeremy of Adam Brown.However, he now knew that Adam was no longer a mere doctor.If Madeline went with him, she would only end up in a more dangerous situation.He immediately called Madeline, but the call was hung up.In the car, Madeline looked at the darkened screen and simply turned off the phone.Adam glanced at Madeline as a rare smile appeared on his handsome and proper face. “Aren’t you worried that Jeremy won’t be able to find you if you follow me out like this?”Madeline chuckled. “He wants to see another woman more now.”Adam pretended to be puzzled. “Another woman?”Madeline did not speak anymore and merely looked out of the car window. After a while, she saw a familiar car in the rear-view mirror.It was Jeremy’s car.Madeline’s head was full of the ambiguous scenes of Jeremy and Lana. She turned to look at Adam. “Dr. Brown
Looking at Madeline’s accusatory and reprimanding gaze, Jeremy’s expression did not change. “That’s right, I’m going to do the same thing again. I won’t let you take this medicine again.”Madeline loosened her fingers that were gripping Jeremy’s collar. Her heart was aching as she said, “Jeremy, say it again.”“Eveline, I’ll never let you take this medicine again.”Smack!Madeline slapped his face, her hands trembling in anger. She felt her mind to be in even more of a mess now. Her tugging thoughts made her whole consciousness chaotic, even making it difficult for her to breathe.She fixed her gaze on the man who was furrowing his eyebrows in disappointment.“Jeremy, what kind of person are you?“Do you want to see me die, or do you want to see the child in my belly die?“Since you’re so indifferent to me and the child, why did you pretend to be so affectionate with me in the first place?”She looked at the wordless man with red eyes and let go of her hand.“Are you interest
Hearing Jeremy’s confession, Madeline went into a daze for a bit.She had clearly seen him and Lana that time…“Linnie, for your own safety, I want to send you to the island we went to before to raise the baby. I’ll bring Jack and Lillian over to accompany you so that you won’t be alone.”Jeremy had made such a decision.Before Madeline could object, he arranged everything and forcibly took Madeline onto his private yacht the very next day.Madeline resisted and wanted to get off the yacht but was carried into the room in the yacht by Jeremy. He did not let her go until the yacht sailed out to the sea.Madeline glanced at the blue ocean outside of the window. “Jeremy, are you sending me to a remote island so that you can date Lana as you like?”Jeremy did not explain and allowed Madeline to misunderstand him. He only said patiently, “Linnie, no matter what you think, you only have to remember that I won’t do anything that would harm you.”“Is it for my own good that you’re not
Seeing that the situation was pressing, Ken hurriedly went to prepare the life raft.Jeremy was shot twice—one in his back and another in his leg. The dark red blood was flowing continuously out of the man’s wounds.Jeremy’s face paled visibly. He even began to appear drowsy and tired.“Jeremy, don’t sleep. Hang in there, I won’t allow anything to happen to you!” Madeline’s voice trembled, her hands that were holding the gauze also trembling severely.She wanted to treat his wounds, but she could not do anything well.Looking at her who was full of tears, Jeremy raised his hand strenuously and gently wiped the tears that flowed from her eyes.His voice was still so nice, but his breathing was extremely weak.Madeline picked up the blanket on the bed with teary eyes and pressed hard on Jeremy’s wound, but the snow-white blanket was soon dyed red.She was at a loss and did not know what to do. Hot tears fell on the man’s face drop by drop.Jeremy’s blood-stained hand tightly gri
