Looking at the confusion on Madeline’s face, Eloise held her hand preciously. “Silly daughter, the reason is simple. It’s because he loves you.”‘It’s because he loves you.’The words that reached her ears fell onto her heart like strange needles.“Three months ago, on the day before you were prepared to leave Glendale, I actually went to look for Jeremy.” Eloise recalled the situation back then. “I told him that you were leaving for F Country with Felipe the next day and hoped that he would stop you. But he just told me indifferently that not bothering and not pestering you was the last thing he could do for you.”Not bothering and not pestering her...Madeline chewed on those six words as if she was gradually understanding Jeremy’s distant behavior toward her now.He had done it on purpose?Purposely alienating her, treating her coldly, and drawing a clear line with her just to not let her know that he was seriously injured because of her so that he would not bother her anymor

Madeline curled her lips and smiled. “Do you want me to be satisfied? It’s simple. I’ll be satisfied if you shut up.”“You…” Karen was exasperated. When she was about to drive Madeline out, she saw a car stopping at the entrance.Seeing Felicity getting out of the car, she was startled. She turned her head and looked at Madeline’s face again.The two faces were so similar!Madeline had also noticed Felicity. She looked at that face suspiciously and could not help but feel strange.‘Is there really someone in this world who would look so much like me?’“Who are you?” Karen pointed at Felicity and asked, looking closely at this face that was very similar to Madeline’s.Felicity glanced at Madeline and showed a bright smile. “Hi Aunty, I’m Jeremy's girlfriend, Felicity Walker.”“What? Jeremy’s girlfriend?” Karen’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Felicity’s face with some disgust. However, after thinking about Madeline, Karen’s face immediately changed. “It turns out you’

Madeline’s tone suddenly became serious.Jeremy seemed surprised, but the darkness in front of him prevented him from capturing Madeline’s expression at that moment. He could not even guess why Madeline was looking for him.“My car is just at the front. Jeremy, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”Her proactive invitation made Jeremy’s heart beat faster.However, he smiled and refused. “No, Miss Montgomery. I have something else to do.”Madeline glanced at Felicity who was waiting at the side. “It’s alright. You can go out with your girlfriend first. We’ll make an appointment again.”Girlfriend?Jeremy then came to understand. He felt a pain in his heart.‘Jeremy, why are you disappointed?‘Didn’t you want her to misunderstand?’He mocked himself silently but still gave Madeline a warm smile. “Please help yourself, Miss Montgomery.”He got into Felicity’s car after he said that. He had behaved nonchalantly from beginning till the end, but only he knew how much he cared.

“Hey beautiful, why don’t you play with the three of us? We won’t treat you badly.”The hooligans said frivolous things while eyeing lecherously at Madeline’s face and body.Madeline swept her glance at the three men in disgust. Her gaze was sharp and cold. “Get out of the way.”The beach was vast and empty. Jeremy, who had been sitting still, unexpectedly heard Madeline’s voice.He turned his face to listen carefully, but he heard the vulgar voices of several men instead.“What an attitude!”“We happen to like this kind of beauty with an attitude!”“Come on, we’ll make you very happy!”Madeline cast a cold gaze. “Don’t touch me. Go away.”However, the more Madeline resisted, the more excited the three drunken men became.“Linnie?” Jeremy was now certain that it was really Madeline’s voice.He did not expect that Madeline would be nearby and that three rascals were now harassing her.His gaze sank as he got up hurriedly. He was running toward the source of the sound in stri

How could Jeremy tolerate a man using such vulgar and frivolous words about Madeline's body? His eyes sank, and his words were like ice."Although you guys have simple minds and simple limbs, you have good vision. She’s indeed my wife."His voice fell, and with his sensitive hearing, he knocked the three hooligans to the ground with thunderous force.“Ow, ow!” The b*stard named Nate yelled, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.Jeremy retracted his hand and once again embraced Madeline in his arms, spreading wings of shelter over her.The rain gradually got heavier, but Madeline felt a warm current passing from Jeremy’s body to hers. This warmth made her feel inexplicably at ease.Although blinded, Jeremy's eyes were still sharp and were dyed with a breathtaking vibe."If you don't want to die, apologize to my wife immediately."His commanding tone made the three hooligans tremble.When the one named Walter was about to apologize, one of them suddenly realized that Jeremy

With that move, the man threw away his blade in pain and rolled onto the ground with a pale face."Get lost!"Madeline denounced aggressively.The other two saw this scene and were so scared that they turned and left.Madeline immediately called the police, but after seeing the blood still running from Jeremy's arm and how it was raining, she was not patient enough to wait for the police to arrive. As such, she took Jeremy to the car."I'll take you to a health center nearby to bandage the wound.""How did you know that there’s a health center nearby?"Madeline was also surprised when Jeremy asked this all of a sudden.Yeah, how would she know?However, it was a truth in her memory.Without delay, she took Jeremy to the health center based on what she remembered.When they came out after treating the wound, it was raining even heavily.Just then, Madeline received a call from Felipe. He was asking her where she was.Madeline glanced at Jeremy who was standing beside her an

Jeremy’s face appeared worried, but he was still blankly looking for Madeline's figure in the darkness.Although Madeline was no longer a weak woman, she was still inevitably surprised when a gecko had crawled to her side so suddenly. She also did not expect Jeremy to just suddenly enter so anxiously."Linnie? What happened to you? Where are you?" Jeremy fumbled around. There was intense uneasiness and worry in his tone.Madeline was standing aside, and she saw how Jeremy was searching for her in confusion as her heart trembled secretly."Linnie, please answer me quickly. Where are you?" he asked again nervously. Madeline could no longer remain silent."I’m here."As soon as he heard Madeline's voice, Jeremy followed the direction it came from. The moment he touched Madeline's body, he embraced her tightly while wishing he could melt her into his own blood."Are you alright?" His low voice was trembling with a hint of tension.Madeline was stunned for two seconds before she rep

Jeremy stretched out his hand to take it but did not manage to touch the cup for a while.Seeing him struggle blindly, Madeline inexplicably felt an unease in her heart.She held Jeremy's hand and placed the teacup precisely into his palm.The skin contact during this brief moment made Jeremy feel a little bit lost in his thoughts.He felt Madeline's warm and soft palm on the back of his hand for a short moment. The ginger tea that slid down his throat was unusually sweet.Madeline handed their wet clothes to the proprietress, and when she returned, Jeremy had already finished his ginger tea. He was sitting quietly by the window.She walked toward him, and as she was about to speak, her nose suddenly itched. She then turned away to sneeze.Jeremy turned his head and looked at her with his eyebrows furrowed. "Miss Montgomery, if you’re feeling unwell, you should rest earlier. Don't worry, I won't leave until you’re done discussing what you intend to discuss with me."Madeline look

Felipe squinted his icy eyes at him. "What are you doing?" he questioned back in a cold voice with a dark expression. "Eveline is already my woman. She no longer has anything to do with you, Jeremy. Think about what you did to Eveline before. If it weren't for me, Eveline would already be a handful of ashes."Felipe's words hit Jeremy's heart hard.If Felipe had not saved her, she would have gone to another world...It was Felipe who gave Madeline the chance to be born again.Jeremy seemed to suddenly have had all his strength sucked out of him. He released his grip on Felipe."Jeremy, remember what you said. Don't disturb Eveline's peace anymore."Felipe left a final reminder before turning around while carrying Madeline in his arms.Listening to the furthering footsteps, Jeremy felt as if Madeline was the tide in the ocean that was slowly fading away outside the window. She had become his past that he could no longer reach.Madeline's fever had subsided, but her head was stil

Just as she was about to come in contact with Madeline's skin, she drew her hands back."Madeline, if you can change your name and come back to life, so can I."Felicity chuckled with a low voice, her eyes growing even gloomier."Madeline, I will definitely not allow you and Jeremy the chance to be together again. He belongs to me, and you… Just you wait. One day I’ll prove to you that the final winner will be me!"She fiercely swore to Madeline who was deep in sleep before secretly leaving the room.…After resting for two days, Madeline’s mental state completely recovered.Recalling what had happened at the hotel that night, she called Jeremy.No one answered the phone after a long time.She tried to make another call, but the result remained the same.While she was thinking of going to Jeremy directly to clarify, Felipe appeared in front of her. His brows were tender as he asked her softly, "Eveline, have you decided when to take Jack and Lily back to F Country with me?""
