His eyes were glued on her, and his heart started racing all of a sudden.She was looking breathtakingly stunning in front of him right now.She had an icy aura around her, and there was no smile on her small face. However, the colder she was, the more charming she looked.Even though she did not dress up, it was evident that she did put on a little makeup.He could also see a red line around the ring finger on her left hand that was holding her clutch.It was the wound from when she removed the ring forcefully.Fabian brought her to the second floor. When they walked past Jeremy, Madeline pretended as if she did not see him and just breezed past him.Jeremy grabbed her thin arm with a look of sadness in his eyes. “Why are you here?”Madeline did not even look at him. “It’s none of your business,” she replied coldly and continued walking upstairs after she removed his hand from her.Jeremy was just left with emptiness in his hand while his heart started beating erratically.T
How could Lana agree to that? However, she was petrified when she saw Yorick’s dark eyes.She looked at Madeline and bit her lip. Then, she said reluctantly, “Eveline, you want me to apologize to you so desperately, huh? Alright, I’ll apologize to you!”“Wait.” Madeline stopped her.Lana was frustrated. “What else do you want?”“I told you I want you to kneel and apologize,” Madeline emphasized, her eyes looking stern.“You… Eveline, don’t win an inch and want a foot!” Lana was infuriated.However, Madeline’s expression remained unchanged. “What’s kneeling and apologizing compared to two lives?”“Yeah, it’s nothing!” Fabian chimed in next to Madeline.Lana glared at Fabian before looking at Yorick.However, Yorick was firm on his decision. If Madeline wanted her to kneel, then she had to kneel.Lana had never experienced this kind of humiliation before. She bit her lip and knelt in front of Madeline without a choice.Madeline towered over her, peering down at her in disdain.
The moment Madeline jumped out of the car, Jeremy’s mind went blank.An indescribable fear and horror crept into his throat.“Linnie!”As he reached out his hand reflexively to grab onto Madeline, his body also pounced toward the direction Madeline jumped in.Due to the inertia and force of impact, Jeremy held Madeline as they rolled a few times on the road before stopping.Then, the car crashed into the divider island with a loud crash. The tires of the car were rubbing against the road furiously.However, Jeremy did not care about the car nor his injuries and carried the unconscious woman in his arms.“Linnie! Linnie!”He supported her head and patted her cheek.“Linnie, don’t fall asleep.”His voice was trembling, and he did not understand why he was so afraid right now.It was only when he felt the stickiness behind Madeline’s head that he realized that his hands were covered in blood.His heart plunged violently.He then carried the pale Madeline and stopped a car by
Ava’s concerned voice sounded in Madeline’s ear.Madeline turned her face and tried to look for Ava in the dark. However, she got nothing. “Ava?”“Maddie, what happened last night? Why are you hospitalized? Who sent the message to me on your phone?”Madeline opened her eyes to look again after she heard Ava’s voice of concern. However, everything was still dark in front of her.She lifted her hand and put it in front of her eyes, but she could not even see the outline of her hand.Heh, she was blind again.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.“Maddie, Maddie?” Ava was extremely concerned.Madeline only shook her head. “Ava, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I won’t let anything happen to me for the sake of the children.”She promised, then recalled what happened after she jumped out of the car.She had been too impulsive.When she thought about her parents who died tragically and the man she loved who was also the one who caused her parents to die in the fir
When Madeline felt herself being carried, she was shocked. However, in the next second, she pushed him away.“Heh, Linnie? What are you playing at, Mr. Zimmerman?” Madeline scoffed. “Are you here to watch me make a fool of myself because you know I’m blind?”She laughed and asked. Even though she could not see, she was standing tall and did not cower nor show a hint of fear.“Lana, listen, even if I’m blind, I won’t allow you to have your way with me. I cried so much these days because of you, and I’ll make you pay double for it!”Looking at the weak yet tough woman in front of him, Jeremy suppressed the pain in his heart and slowly walked in front of her.“Linnie, I remember.”When he said this, his gentle and deep voice traveled into Madeline’s ears softly.It felt as if everything was frozen in time as the ward fell silent.Madeline was stumped. Then, she heard the familiar voice repeating those words.“Linnie, I remember everything.”Madeline’s clear eyes that had lost th
It had been so many years, and as his mother, this was the first time she saw her son cry.“Jeremy, you…”“Mom, can you please take Pudding out? I have something to say to this guy.” Madeline controlled her emotions and handed Pudding to Karen.Even though Karen had a lot of questions, she obliged and took Pudding out.There were only the two of them in the room right now, and the silence was deafening.Madeline walked to the side of the bed and took out some documents from under her pillow to hand them to Jeremy.“Sign this. I’m divorcing you.”Jeremy looked at the papers Madeline was handing him and felt as if his heart was being sliced by a million knives.He sobbed soundlessly and did not take the papers. On the contrary, he knelt in front of her again.Looking at her haggard face, he felt so much pain in his heart that he could not breathe. “Linnie…”“Don’t call me Linnie anymore. I’m not worthy of it.”Madeline rejected coldly. She was forcing out a smile, but tears st
When Jeremy heard what Lana told him in excitement, his eyes became colder.Good news?Madeline was blind, and to Lana, it was good news.He recalled how Lana filled him up with fake memories during the three months he lost his memories, his eyes turning icy.Lana did not notice Jeremy’s change in behavior. Instead, she laughed happily and said, “Hmph, I didn’t even do anything and she’s blind. Haha! I think I have to give her a proper visit this time.”Jeremy glanced at her. “What do you want to do with her?”Lana heard that and started pondering. Then, she lit up a cigarette. “Um…”“Lana, your chance is here.” Naomi looked at the message excitedly and reported, “The 52nd anniversary of Whitman Corporation is coming soon and Eveline will definitely show up.”Lana narrowed her eyes and started plotting.After a while, she licked her red lips while smirking slyly. “What a good opportunity.”She smirked and walked in front of Jeremy. Then, she simpered, “Hans, it’s up to you no
He had heard about Madeline’s vision loss and wanted to check up on her, but he did not have a valid reason to.When Ryan was about to go backstage to look for Madeline, Lana and Naomi appeared.Lana had spent money to buy an invitation for the event. She smirked cockily as she strutted into the hall.Everyone was looking over at her, but their focus was not on her. Instead, their eyes were on Jeremy who was behind her.“It’s really Mr. Whitman.”“No way! Three months ago, didn’t he… What’s going on?”“Yeah, how strange. I even went to offer my condolences at Whitman Manor. They confirmed that he was indeed dead.”“I went as well. When I was there, Karen even screamed at Eveline saying she was a bringer of bad luck. She also said that Eveline was the one who killed her son.”“What’s going on?”Everyone was puzzled when they noticed Jeremy arriving with Lana.However, they did not know Lana. They only felt that this woman was not someone ordinary.When Ryan saw Lana, his eyes
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
