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
The box fell and landed next to Madeline’s feet.Lana frowned pretentiously and said aggrievedly, “Mrs. Whitman, what’s the meaning of this? I have an invitation to come here as a guest. As a guest, I’m giving you a gift, so why are you not accepting it?”Naomi looked at the calm and unperturbed Madeline while sniggering. Then, she displayed a shocked look on her face. “Ah, Lana, haven’t you noticed? I don’t think Mrs. Whitman can see.”“She can’t see?” Lana pretended to be confused and started looking at Madeline from head to toe. “Mrs. Whitman, what’s wrong with your eyes? Why are you blind?”When Lana said this, a collective gasp sounded from around them.“What? Eveline is blind?”“No way!”“Did she go blind from crying so much over her parents’ death?”“Poor girl. However, how is she going to manage Whitman Corporation now that she’s blind? Will it affect our business collaboration?”“This is all hard to say.”Lana was pleased with herself after she successfully stirred u
