Madeline's hand shook violently and the key in her hand dropped on her feet with a clang.The wounds in and out of her body seemed to have suddenly “woken up” at this moment and the insurmountable skin cutting pain once again invaded her entire body. It hurt so much that she was losing grip on her mind and only the image of him smashing the urn with the ashes of their child by how own hands the other day was left in her mind.The voice-controlled lights went out and Madeline's world had also seemed to have suddenly gone dark."Madeline, I'm talking to you,” came Jeremy's domineering voice coldly.Madeline shuddered reflexively. When Jeremy grabbed her wrist, she looked like a hedgehog that had been stripped of its spines. After bouncing off in horror, she suddenly knelt down by his feet, smashing her head desperately."Mr. Whitman, it's my fault! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have fallen in love with you and I shouldn't provoke Meredith!"Jeremy, I know I was wrong, please don't
She ran into the street without turning back. A piece of glacier had melted in her heart and black icy water had flooded her world.She did not have the courage to face Jeremy again. His cruel methods of time and time again had made it so that her already devastated body and mind were no longer able to bear it.At this moment, she just wanted to escape.Even wanting to escape forever.Suddenly, fine rain floated down the sky.Madeline ran toward the zebra crossing in a daze, wanting to go over to the opposite street. A car was speeding in her direction. It was not slowing down.Sensing the coming bright car lights, Madeline suddenly stopped and stood motionless in the middle of the zebra crossing.Looking at this bustling street and watching the street lights lining it, she burst into tears.If she could, she really wanted to restart her life...Madeline closed her eyes and a harsh horn sounded out. Right at this critical moment, Madeline suddenly felt a strong and powerful ar
The corners of the diary scraped against the unhealed wound on her face and there was a burst of sharp pain before blood began oozing again.Jeremy did not notice, however. He brushed past her shoulder and his broad and powerful shoulders hit Madeline's thin body and in an instant, she fell down beside the bed. In front of her, was the open diary that Jeremy had dropped. Madeline looked down and she saw the words she had written. "Jez, finally I get to see you again..."Madeline looked at the words written on the diary page and laughed at herself. Laughing and laughing until tears began to run out of her eyes unconsciously.The warm water dripped past the bleeding wound, along the curve of the chin, and finally, mixed with a drop of blood, dripped onto the sentence in the diary.Jez...Her former Jez had died in her heart.That gentle sunshine, the boy who had said he had wanted to be with her forever, had completely died in her heart...——Some pus developed in the wound on Ma
It turned out to be the husband of Eloise, Sean Montgomery.Looking at this tall and steady back, Madeline felt a sense of sorrow and grief in her heart.She had also longed for a father, but unfortunately, she had never felt the love of father or mother in her life."How’s your mother's situation?" Sean was very nervous about this situation.Meredith cried, "I don't know what's wrong. There seems to have been an accident during the operation. Mother is bleeding heavily and she is now in operation...""What?" Sean's expression changed all of a sudden and he ran to the operating room.Madeline's heartbeat also stopped for a second. How could an accident really have happened?She squeezed her fingers anxiously but then heard Meredith's cold voice saying, "Where did so many people with RH blood suddenly appear from? Once before, and once again now."Meredith's tone did not carry any sense of gratitude, but rather it sounded very dissatisfied.Then again, she could do something li
Sean cursed."It’s no wonder your biological parents didn’t want you. Such a vicious person like you shouldn't even be alive in this world!"Hiss.Madeline's breathing froze.She had been insulted and questioned by many passers-by and the ignorant masses in the past few years, but she had also long become numbed.Hearing every word Sean was cursing her at the moment however, it was as if thousands of cuts had been slashed at the flesh and blood on her body. The indescribable pain made it difficult for her to breathe."Dad, forget it. It was all my fault. I was the one who shouldn't have fallen in love with Jeremy..." Meredith took the blame upon herself.Sean felt even more distressed for this precious girl when he heard this. "How could you be to blame? The blame is with this vile woman!" Sean stared at Madeline with a solemn expression. "If she hadn't stolen Jeremy away, you would already be a happy family of three."“Dad......""Let's go see your mother."Sean hugged Mered
"It’s no matter," Madeline smiled indifferently. "By the way, have you had dinner, Mr. Whitman?"Felipe shook his head. "What's the matter?""Would you like to try my creation? I just happened to be cooking, I'm almost done."Felipe sniffed lightly and could really smell the aroma of fragrant rice. "Then, I shall take you up on that offer."Madeline was also very happy when she heard his answer.She had originally planned to go to bed after a casual meal, but now, she fried up two more side dishes.She had once had much hope that a day could come when her beloved man would come home after getting off work. Then, he would eat the home-cooked food that she made by herself, while they chat with each other.She had thought that Jeremy would be the first man to taste her creations, but things were impermanent. Regardless of the extravagant hopes or expectations she once had, they had all turned into gray sand sculptures, blown away cleanly by the wind.Madeline had not had such a go
Jeremy walked in with a calm expression and a chill surrounding his body."Jeremy." Felipe addressed him.Jeremy did not respond. His cold eyes swept across the dining table before finally falling on Madeline's pale face."Madeline, what are you even asking? I am your husband. Is it so weird for me to have the key?""...""Do you blatantly bring other men back to eat and drink when I’m not around?"Jeremy spoke with a smile but he shot Felipe a sharp gaze. "So, Uncle Felipe, you like this kind of woman?"Madeline's heartbeat stuttered.‘This kind of woman.’ He used these words to describe her.Madeline's face went even paler with that, but she did not dare confront him again.Facing him now, she was like a frightened bird, alarmed and uneasy."Jeremy, don't get me wrong," Felipe explained calmly, "I was just worried that something was going on with Madeline, so I came to see her.""Hmph." Jeremy sneered again. "Worried about this cruel, mean, and sinister woman?"Madeline'
As he was done speaking, he picked up his coat and turned away.Madeline looked at Felipe's back as he was leaving and the light in her eyes extinguished bit by bit. There was nothing but despair left in her eyes in the end.She did not know how Jeremy would deal with her, she only knew that his methods would definitely be very cruel.She would never forget that he was like a demon from hell. He had dug through the grave and allowed the ashes of his own daughter to be washed away by the wind and snow, and he had actually smiled nonchalantly at that.Seeing Madeline's reddened eyes gazing in the direction of Felipe's departure, Jeremy got angry."Are you this sad about him leaving? Madeline Crawford, are you treating me as if I am dead? I am the one who is your husband."He pushed Madeline away from his arms angrily.Madeline staggered and fell by the side of the sofa, brushing her injured cheek against the corner of the sofa and causing her teeth to tremble in pain."Clean this
