Karen looked at the space by Madeline’s feet in a panic.It was the middle of summer and Madeline was wearing a dress. There was a pool of liquid at her feet.It was her amniotic fluid!If her water had broken and she was not sent to the hospital in time, the fetus might suffocate in her womb.Karen did not know how far along Madeline was in her pregnancy, but she was sure that it was not anywhere close to the due date yet. "E-Eveline! How far along the pregnancy are you?”Madeline breathed hard. "Exactly 30 weeks.""What?! Only 30 weeks?!"If she was 30 weeks pregnant, it meant that she was about two months away from her due date!Karen panicked and did not know what to do. When she saw Jeremy standing by the side and not doing anything, she shouted anxiously, "Jeremy, what's the matter with you? Are you just going to stand there and watch while your wife is in trouble?!”"Wife?" Jeremy chuckled and watched Madeline's face grow paler. He turned around dismissively.His indif
Madeline used her peripheral view to glance at the man who did not even want to look at her. "I don’t have any other choice."She stopped looking at him and swallowed her tears into her belly.Karen did not know what else to do either, so she helped Madeline lay down slowly on the sofa.When Karen saw that there were two other bodyguards in the living room, Karen drove them out angrily. "Get out! Get out! All of you!"She looked at the man who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at his phone."Jeremy, even if you don't recognize Eveline, are you really that cold-blooded to ignore her in her current situation? Will you ignore a person’s life and her unborn child?”Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows, and when he turned around, he was obviously very unhappy.He was about to warn Karen when he caught a glimpse of Madeline who was lying on the sofa, sweaty and pale.For some peculiar reason, Jeremy suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart.He glanced at the two bodygua
When Jeremy suddenly heard Karen shouting at Madeline with such anxiousness, he was also inexplicably shocked.When he saw Madeline's sleepy appearance, he walked up to her again.She was sweating profusely and her face was as white as a piece of paper.He could see how hard she was trying to give birth to the child, but she seemed to not have enough energy.Madeline saw the man standing next to her in a daze, and she stretched out her hand to him strenuously. "Jeremy..."She gasped hard and looked at him with expectation in her misty, damp eyes.Time passed quietly, and when she saw that Jeremy was ignoring her, Madeline smiled bitterly before slowly putting down her weak hand.At that moment, Jeremy suddenly reached out and took her hand.His touch seemed to have injected a surge of strength into Madeline's body and mind.She opened her increasingly weary eyes in surprise and saw the cold man."If it hurts, just scream." The man's tone was cold, but there was warmth at the
Madeline parted her pretty pale lips and smiled slightly. "As long as it's a child with Jeremy, I don’t mind having a boy or a girl.”Eloise was initially very happy, but when she heard her answer, her eyes got wet again.She squeezed Madeline's hand and said, "Back then, you held this same belief and risked your life to give birth to his child too, didn’t you?"Madeline smiled without denying it.Back then…Back then, she loved Jeremy so badly that she would not mind if it meant dying for him.She did not think there was anything different now too.She still loved him a lot."It's a boy," Eloise told her as she teared up and laughed. "An ugly boy.”Madeline smiled as well. "When he grows up, he’ll be handsome. I bet Jack was ugly when he was born too,” she said , suddenly turning silent.She had never seen how Jackson looked like when he was born…Madeline spent more than half a month in the hospital to recuperate from her injuries and for her postpartum confinement.Altho
"Jeremy," Madeline said with joy, "Did you come to see our baby?"Jeremy looked at Madeline who was smiling and walked to the glass window indifferently. He looked at the newborns lying in the incubator in the nursery. His thin lips parted slightly as he asked, "Which one is yours?”His tone was so weak that one could not tell any emotions from it.Madeline smiled and told him, "The second in the last row, the smallest one."There was a beam of joy in her beautiful eyes as her slender fingers pointed at the little infant who was fast asleep. "It's a boy. He’ll probably look like you in the future.""How can your son look like me?" The man's words suddenly felt like a basin of cold water that was poured over Madeline.She looked at the cold man in surprise. "Jeremy?""Are you still dreaming about that? Your husband Jeremy is already dead," he said bluntly without mercy, his harsh words piercing Madeline's heart like an invisible ice pick.When Madeline heard him, she slowly clen
She looked at him sadly and turned around decisively.Before she could take a step, the back of her neck was grabbed by the man's warm palm and Madeline was forced to turn around. He held her right in front of him.The man's bottomless round eyes shrouded her vision like a deep and vast night."Do you know that you’re asking for your own death if you continue acting this way?”"So are you going to kill me, Mr. Zimmerman?" Madeline sternly greeted his sharp and frightening icy eyes.Her beautiful, clear, and charming eyes that looked like autumn were reflected in his eyes. It was as if the sight of her was tugging on his heartstrings, leaving him in a trance for a while.He quickly returned to his senses and focused on Madeline's eyes."Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I’ll show you the consequences of offending someone you shouldn't have offended."The word of warning came out of his thin lips without a trace of warmth.He let go of her, leaving Madeline alone as he drove aw
Lana looked at Jeremy's body hungrily.His physique was slender and perfect, comparable to those of top models.The first thing that caught Lana’s eyes about Jeremy was his physical appearance. After that, she was attracted to the affection he gave and the aura he exuded.In the past few months, she had spared no expense in manpower and resources just to get this man.Tonight, her opportunity was finally here.Jeremy got off the treadmill and looked at the woman approaching him, but there were no waves in his heart—let alone changes to his heartbeat.Lana put out the cigarette butt, stood in front of Jeremy, and looked at him coquettishly. She slowly closed her eyes.Jeremy looked at Lana who was waiting with her eyes closed. He raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Lana's head, but he could not lower his head and kiss her no matter what.The kiss with Madeline at the beach of April Hill that night came to his mind.That night, he was clearly playing Madeline and a pec
When she arrived, the only person she saw sitting at the designated seat was Naomi Lionel.Naomi saw Madeline who was walking to her and put on a smile on her face. However, her eyes were brewing with jealousy and envy.'Eveline Montgomery. She comes from a good background, married into a good family, and has both children as well as fame.'She just delivered a child, yet her body has returned to such a fantastic figure. What's more with her stunning face. I heard word has gone out saying that she’s being named as Glendale's number one gorgeous lady.'Madeline sensed Naomi was up to no good the moment she saw her. However, for the sake of Ryan, she sat down as well."My apologies, Mrs. Whitman. Rye had to leave at the eleventh hour because of some urgent issues. I hope you don't take to heart whatever happened on that day in my house. Today, my intention of inviting Mrs. Whitman out is to express my apology."Naomi beckoned to the server to open up the bottle of red wine and pour
