Karen sighed. “She’s in the lounge. I think she’s feeding the baby now.”Jeremy turned around quickly after he got his answer and ran toward the lounge.When he saw a breastfeeding sign on the door, he walked up to it and lifted his hand.He wanted to knock, but he hesitated.After a while, he finally knocked.Then, Madeline’s voice came from inside. “Mom, is that you? Come in.”Jeremy knew Madeline was mistaking him for Karen, but he decided to just go along with it and went inside.Madeline was not breastfeeding, but instead, she had her back toward him as she squatted next to the sofa. She looked like she was changing the baby.“Mom, can you get the wet wipes for me? It’s in my bag.”Madeline did not see who came in. Her attention was on the child who had just made a mess in his diaper.When Jeremy approached her and handed her the wet wipes, she finally sensed that something was amiss.She looked at the man in front of her as her gentle gaze immediately turned sharp.Sh
“Linnie…”“Stop calling my name. I don’t want to see you,” Madeline interrupted him and wiped away her tears.“I never blamed you for forgetting me. I know you only got hurt because you wanted to save me and that’s how Lana got the chance to manipulate you. However, it doesn’t excuse your lack of humanity that let you kill my parents!”“Jeremy, I don’t know how to face you anymore. When I see you, I’ll think of my dead parents, but I can’t avenge them. Do you understand how I feel?”Madeline took a deep breath and picked up the innocent baby from the sofa before leaving the lounge.Jeremy knelt on the ground, his brain replaying what Madeline’s words. At this moment, he felt as if a thousand knives were slicing through his heart.If possible, he really wanted to exchange his life with the lives of Eloise and Sean.He would do anything to repent just to make her feel better.‘But Linnie, you won’t give me another chance to repent and apologize anymore.’After Madeline left the
“Mrs. Whitman is a well-known jewelry designer in the jewelry business, so you should know something about painting, right? If you have time, why don’t we exchange tips?”Ryan had helped her before and was a polite gentleman, so Madeline did not reject him.On the other side, Lana barged back into her house.However, the moment she stepped inside, she received a heavy slap.Her brain went blank and she was dumbfounded.Then, she tasted blood in her mouth.Naomi who was close behind Lana saw this and started shivering.What the hell was going on today?She was going to watch Madeline make a fool of herself, so why did things become like this instead?Lana clutched her swollen face and yelled, “Yorick, are you insane? Why did you hit me again?”“Ask yourself what you’ve done just now.” Yorick’s face was dark as if he was hiding angry emotions. “I told you to stop stirring sh*t and go back to F Country to be a spoiled princess. Why did you have to go and provoke Eveline?”When
The baby felt someone carrying him, so he opened his huge and round eyes instantly.The man holding the baby was shocked. However, his heart melted when he saw those innocent and naive eyes.“Are you Pudding?” Jeremy asked in a low voice as he caressed the adorable face with his fingers.The baby looked at Jeremy and subconsciously parted his lips into a cute grin.Jeremy felt his Adam’s apple bobbing when he saw his smile. He could not control his tears from falling.The scene of Madeline painfully delivering the child prematurely was still fresh in his memory.She supported her frail body through the pain by using her strong willpower. That was how she gave birth to this premature baby.When that happened, her clothes and hair were drenched in sweat while her face was extremely pale. She had been longing to reach out her hand to him and call out to him.However, he was like an emotionless robot and only reached out his hand to her at the last moment.Then, he felt his heart
She placed the baby down and checked his diaper. However, he had not peed or pooped.Madeline was worried that something might have happened to the child. She picked him up and was ready to take him to the hospital.“Linnie, let me try,” Jeremy begged. “When I held him just now, he didn’t cry.”Madeline looked at him coldly. “If you hadn’t come in, he wouldn't have woken up at all. I spent so much time putting him to sleep. Why did you come in?”Madeline grumbled. Despite knowing that the baby might be crying for other reasons, she did not have the capacity to face this man.“Linnie, let me hold the child. Really, he didn’t cry when I carried him just now,” Jeremy begged again.However, Madeline did not let him hold Pudding. On the contrary, she scoffed.“So you know he’s your son now?”“Linnie.”“Jeremy, I don’t blame you. I really don’t blame you for losing your memories. I just hate that you lost your humanity after you lost your memories.”She tried very hard to control h
At that moment, Madeline felt her mind going blank.In the next moment, she opened the door of the car and called the ambulance with her shaking hands.She ran to the side of the car. When she saw the bloody hand, she looked inside.“Linnie, let’s start over…”She heard Jeremy mumbling this as he fell unconscious.Madeline’s tears rolled down her eyes. She felt extremely conflicted right now.She did not want anything to happen to him, but she could not let down her dead parents.The ambulance arrived after a while and they stabilized Jeremy quickly.He did not have any internal damage. Most of his injuries were flesh wounds, but his left hand was hurt pretty badly. He could not lift anything heavy in the meantime. Plus, there was also a huge cut on his left calf that was bleeding profusely.Jeremy started dreaming groggily again. He dreamed about the ship exploding and about Madeline leaving him.He reached out his hand to grab Madeline’s hand, and in the process, he called
“Mommy should be here soon.” Jack looked at the road, and his handsome face looked disappointed. “I wonder when Daddy will come home.”“Daddy? I haven’t seen Daddy in a long time as well.” Lillian pouted, still thinking her father was Felipe. There was a hint of desolation in her bright eyes.Then, her darkened eyes were suddenly lit up with colorful sparkles.A bouquet made out of colorful candies appeared in front of Lillian all of a sudden.“Eh?” Lillian was confused, but her eyes were still sparkling. “Wow, how beautiful!”Jackson looked over at the hand that was holding the bouquet and saw a frivolous-looking face.“Who are you?” Jackson pulled Lillian behind him and asked Fabian in high alert.Fabian still looked like a frivolous brat. Then, he looked at Jackson with a dissatisfied look and said cockily, “I’m Lily’s friend.”Jackson looked at Fabian suspiciously, then heard Lillian exclaiming, “It’s Mr. White Hair!”Lillian recognized Fabian.Fabian frowned. He had alre
What?Lana was confused. As she was trying to figure out what she meant, she suddenly lost the freedom to breathe.???Madeline had lifted her right hand all of a sudden and grabbed Lana tightly on the neck.Lana did not expect Madeline to do this at all.She used all of her might to fight back, but Madeline was too strong.“Let… go! Eveline, you b*tch, let me go! Ah!”Lana threatened, but Madeline only tightened her grip and pressed Lana onto the wall as she struggled.Her soulful and crimson eyes were filled with malice. There was a storm brewing behind them.When she recalled Eloise and Sean’s deaths, she tightened her grip even more.Madeline did not say anything, only watching as Lana’s face became redder and redder until she could not breathe. She started to look like she was in pain.On the other hand, Madeline’s eyes became wetter and redder.‘Mom, Dad…’She longed for the love of a father and mother for so many years.That was a home that she finally regained aft
