Chapter 1459
After she heard that, Madeline retracted her outstretched foot back.‘Jeremy?‘Is that man watching a video related to Jeremy?‘Why is he watching that?’Madeline was curious, and an uneasy feeling surged from the bottom of her heart.When she was trying to figure out why this man was watching a video on Jeremy, she noticed that the man had spotted her.His narrow black eyes stared straight at her like the moon in the night. They looked so cold yet so deep.“Come and sit here.” The man parted his lips and invited her over.Madeline wanted to understand more of what was going on, so she went over to sit down.The maid who was serving the man poured Madeline a cup of tea and handed it to her politely with a smile.Madeline held the teacup in her hands and felt the warmth spreading from her palms to her heart.To be frank, she was pretty lucky. At least her life was saved.As for Ryan…Madeline’s eyes became bleak. At the end of the day, a life was lost in front of her and sh

The man lowered his head and flipped through the photos one by one.Madeline could not endure this. She got up to go over so that she could have a look at the photos.The man was looking at the photos when he lifted his head to look at Madeline. When he saw the sharpness in Madeline’s eyes, he said coldly, “Why are you so excited?”Madeline suppressed the sharpness in her eyes and answered as if it was nothing. “I’m just curious what the person with the same name as me looks like.”The reason sounded reasonable, so the man did not suspect a thing. Then, he turned his eyes back to the photos.“What do you think about this woman with the same name as you? Do you think she’s good-looking?”Madeline looked at the woman in the photo who had undergone plastic surgery to look like her. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. “So-so.”“So-so?” The man had no expression on her face, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. “Then, I guess your true face must be out of this world.

Madeline raised her slightly trembling fingers and stroked her cheek.The smoothness from the past no longer existed. What was left were just bumpy and ugly scars.Except for the small wound on her forehead and her eyes that were intact, the other parts, especially the sides of her cheeks, were damaged to the extent that it was unbearable to look at.Madeline squeezed the handle of the mirror and forced herself to calm down. However, no woman in the world could accept their initially flawless face getting ruined like this—neither could Madeline.“It's still in a preliminary state. Your face will heal after some treatments.” The doctor beside Madeline gave her some hope.“Thank you, I’ll cooperate with the treatment.” Madeline put on a smile and thanked him.Back then when she laughed, there were sweet dimples. Now, there was not an inch of intact skin on her face, let alone dimples. Madeline put down the mirror and clenched the ring on her ring finger before casting her eyes do

She clenched the fork and knife tightly in her hands, trying hard to suppress her emotions. After she took a deep breath, she said, “Can I go to Glendale with you?”The man lifted his head to look at her after he heard that.Madeline looked confidently into those deep and cold obsidian eyes. “My home is in Glendale. I miss my home.”“You want to go home looking like this?”“No, I just want to go back to take a look.” Madeline knew her current condition. She did not want to stand in front of Jeremy while looking like this.Perhaps he would not mind that she was disfigured.However, Madeline did not dare to find out. She was scared that Jeremy might not even recognize her if she were to stand in front of him like this.When she thought about that scene, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed by needles.She did not have the courage to try.“You’re from Glendale, so you should know about a lot of things in Glendale, right? If that’s the case, you should’ve heard about Jeremy W

She was always imagining the scene of her reunion with Jeremy. However, she did not expect to see the man she loved and the woman impersonating her in such a situation. They had just picked the children up from school and were wandering in the busy streets happily.Madeline felt as if her heart had been slashed open and the cold autumn wind was penetrating through it.When she saw Jeremy and that woman holding Jackson and Lillian’s hands to cross the road, Madeline suddenly lifted her hand and rolled down the window.“Jeremy.”She could not help but call out his name. However, the voice that came out of her lips sounded as hoarse as the voice of a heavy smoker. At that moment, she was completely stunned.Even so, it was as if Jeremy had sensed something or heard something. He looked in Madeline’s direction, but at that instant, Madeline shifted her gaze in a panic and quickly rolled up the window.They were separated by the window but Madeline could feel her face heating up as if

The words on the card were simple and explained two situations to them.[Ryan’s dead.[His ashes are in the urn.]“No, how is this possible? How is Rye dead just like this? How can this be Rye’s ashes?”Mrs. Jones’ face was as white as paper while her eyes were filled with terror. “No! Who brought this here? Why are they pranking us like this?”She questioned the maid emotionally. The maid was also taken aback.‘Young Master is dead?‘And his ashes are in the urn?’Mr. Jones took the card and froze where he was, absent-minded and astonished.He did not want to believe this. However, it had been such a long time since they could contact Ryan, so he needed to accept the possibility that Ryan might truly be dead.After Madeline left Jones Manor, she walked alone for a very long distance.She was extremely distracted. She had no idea when the sky turned dark and she also had no idea when it started to drizzle.Madeline continued walking forward like this. From time to time, she

The woman walking next to Jeremy stopped walking as well. Her face was filled with a grin that she could not hide. She then asked in a sweet voice, “Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”Madeline could not believe this. This woman’s voice was almost the same as hers back then too. However, she never had that tone that was full of pretense.Jeremy ignored the woman next to him at this moment. He was staring at Madeline absent-mindedly.For some reason, Jeremy felt as if his heartbeat and breathing were under the control of the pair of eyes that were not far away from him.‘Could there be another woman with the same eyes as Linnie in this world?’Jeremy had this question in his heart. He could not help but take a step forward and walk toward Madeline who was quietly standing alone in the rain.Immediately, the happy woman who was holding the roses had an annoyed expression on her face when she saw Jeremy suddenly walking to a woman who had her face covered while holding a

“Jeremy, Jeremy?” The woman was confused at Jeremy’s reaction.Even Jeremy himself did not understand why those eyes were able to make him feel so disconcerted. Plus, the view of that woman’s back caused him to feel a sharp pain in his heart for some reason.This was so strange.However, he did not have time to look into this before he was urged away by the woman by his side.The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Madeline held the umbrella, and after she walked for a while, she slowly stopped walking.She did not know when the sky turned black. When Jeremy walked past her earlier, she felt as if her vision had turned black.Her heart was in immense pain, but right now, the wounds on her face started to burn painfully.Madeline placed the umbrella down while feeling unwell. However, the moment she removed her scarf and mask, a passerby suddenly exclaimed, “Damn, what a scary face!”The passerby’s unintentional words sounded so piercing as they penetrated Madeline’s eardrums.
