Chapter 140
The rain became heavier while Madeline was still kneeling on the wet floor. Her hands fumbled frantically around her.Cars drove past her and splashed water on her again and again. However, she still could not find her umbrella.Jeremy was about to start the car, but he could not help but keep looking at the rearview mirror.Meredith noticed this and immediately shifted Jeremy’s attention. “Jeremy, let’s go. We need to bring Jack to check his face.”Jeremy turned his head. “Don’t worry, there won’t be a scar on Jack’s face.”“I didn’t think that Maddie would hate me to this extent. I also didn’t think my father would ask people to slash Maddie on the face just to avenge me and Jack,” Meredith said innocently.“Jeremy, you won’t blame my father, right?”“You dummy, why would I blame him?” Jeremy smiled.He looked at the rearview mirror again. He saw Madeline standing up after finding her umbrella. Then, he watched her walk away while following the path. He scoffed in a fit of un

Jeremy’s face became colder. “Madeline, I’m asking you to sign the papers.”“I won’t do it,” Madeline finally said, her tone sounding oddly calm.Jeremy saw Madeline sitting in front of him coldly and motionlessly while her eyes were on somewhere else. She did not once look into his eyes. Jeremy felt anger rising in his chest. “Madeline, don’t try to challenge my patience. You know the consequences to that.”When she was faced with his threats and warnings, Madeline did not have any fear on her face. On the contrary, she smiled.“Jeremy, I’ll tell you this one last time. I won’t sign your divorce papers. If you want to marry Meredith, sure. Then you should just wait for me to sue you for bigamy.”“Madeline Crawford!” Jeremy was completely enraged. “I’m going to ask you one last time as well. Are you signing or not?”“No!” Madeline said firmly.Jeremy’s face became icy. When he saw that Madeline was still acting arrogant and refusing to look at him, he strode over to her and forc

After he said that, Madeline felt a warmth on the back of her handJeremy held her hand tightly and forced her to sign her name ‘Madeline Crawford’ on the last page.It was her name but in his handwriting. After Jeremy was done, he swung her hand aside and pulled the papers away. He looked at the name on the paper and felt an uneasiness in his heart. Not only did he not feel relieved, but he also felt an abnormally heavy weight pressing on him.He lowered his eyes and looked at Madeline who was still on the floor. Her face was pale and there were tears in her eyes. Other than that, there was also blood on her lips as if she had bitten her lip too hard. She looked battered and pitiful.Jeremy frowned. “Madeline, do you have any requests?”“500,000 dollars,” she said without hesitating.After Jeremy heard that, he scoffed in disdain. “It looks like you came prepared. I’ll ask someone to transfer the money into your account immediately.”After he said that, his phone rang.When

Jeremy held the steering wheel even tighter. He was starting to suspect whether his eyes were not working. However, it was obvious that Madeline was the one whose eyes were not working.She was blind.She was really blind.She was not joking earlier when she had difficulty signing the divorce papers. It was real.However, she was just fine previously. Why was she blind now?Jeremy watched as Madeline crawled on the ground as she looked for something while sobbing. He felt that it was getting hard to breathe and even felt like he was going to suffocate. The snow was getting heavier and even rain started to fall.The people around her started to leave, leaving the street empty. However, Madeline was still looking for something.She was crying. She was so anxious, looking like a child who had lost their favorite toy.Jeremy got out of the car while feeling dispirited. He slowly walked toward Madeline, his footsteps feeling abnormally heavy.However, she did not notice his prese

When her voice sounded, Jeremy retracted his hand.Instantly, Meredith’s hand was empty as the look of joy on her face froze over. What came after was her expression cracking.Everyone looked over to the source of the voice and saw a small, fragile frame.It was Madeline.She was wearing a simple and elegant dress. She had some light makeup on her face. Despite the scars on her face, she still looked as beautiful as she had just walked out of a painting.Everyone could tell that this was Madeline. She was Jeremy’s ex-wife.However, no one could tell that she was blind. She forced herself to walk to her destination. Her body was welcoming the embrace of death, yet she was walking forward despite the difficulty.Jeremy watched as Madeline walked slowly toward him. He was trying hard to look into Madeline’s eyes, but alas, there was no focal point for her eyes. He would not find the passionate love and longing that she used to have for him in her eyes.Plus, she was stumbling as s

Meredith threw away her bouquet and ran in front of Madeline hurriedly. She started sobbing, and as usual, she had a pitiful mask on her face.“Maddie, today’s my and Jeremy’s engagement party. I know you hate me, but I hope that you won’t do anything impulsive to hurt the person I love.”“Madeline, today is my precious daughter and son-in-law’s engagement party. If you don’t want to get into trouble, then you should go now!” Sean warned in a stern voice, wanting to chase her away.“Madeline, for a cruel and heartless woman like you to still be alive right now… That's already letting you off lightly. Scram now! If not, I’ll make you regret this!” Eloise threatened.Madeline was extremely heartbroken. However, she still had a calm look on her face. She smiled magnanimously, saying, “Do you know how to read my fortune, Mrs. Montgomery? I did have a hard time living until this age.”When Jeremy heard that, he felt that the smile on Madeline’s face was exceptionally dazzling. It was s

“Madeline!”Jeremy ran to Madeline quickly and worriedly. He did not know how much fear and terror was in his heart when he yelled out Madeline’s name.Madeline’s shaky body was being held by Jeremy.Her legs gave up as she leaned against the wall to force herself to stand up. However, she could not do it no matter how hard she tried. Even her consciousness was trying to drift and wander.Looking at the horrifying blood on Madeline’s lips, Jeremy’s heart leaped right up to his throat as he felt a fear that he had never felt before.“Jeremy!” Meredith ran over while looking at Madeline who was on the brink of death. Of course, she felt carefree, but she was extremely displeased with how Jeremy was treating Madeline now.“Jeremy, the guests are waiting. How can you abandon Mer and chase after that woman?” Eloise came over as well. She looked at Madeline who was vomiting blood with disgust. “It’s obviously fake blood. Jeremy, can’t you tell? She’s lying to you with fake blood. The r

“Get lost! Don’t touch her!”Jeremy roared all of a sudden. He ran out and carried Madeline to the side of the road before calling a cab.Ava was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before she ran after them.Meredith and Eloise ran out hurriedly as well. They did not have time to stop Jeremy as they saw him already getting into a cab with Madeline.Ava clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She did not think much before chasing after them.The light of the emergency room lit up while Jeremy was sitting on the chair in the waiting room quietly. He had no expression on his face.Madeline’s warmth and scent were still lingering in his arms. However, his white shirt had been stained with the blood she vomited out. There was so much blood and it was such an unpleasant sight.He closed his eyes, his brain occupied with what Madeline said before she closed her eyes.“Jeremy Whitman, you cold-blooded scum of the earth!”Ava’s shrieks sounded in front of him. Jeremy slowly lifted his
