Chapter 256
Madeline chuckled softly before walking forward.When Jeremy saw the person in front of him, he stopped in his tracks. He seemed surprised. “Why are you here?”“Don’t you want to see me, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline asked with a fake smile on her face. Then, she added, “Actually, I’m worried. However, I’m not worried about Meredith. I’m worried about you.”Jeremy was taken aback. He looked at the woman who was smiling at him under the dim lights. There was an ominous glint in his eyes as he walked in front of her. “Follow me.”He grabbed Madeline’s hand all of a sudden, the coldness of his hand traveling to her heart instantly.She did not pull her hand away, but at the same time, she did not feel as reluctant to let go as before.Jeremy brought Madeline to the roof of the hospital. With no one there, the place looked tranquil and eerie.The stars were scattered in the night sky as they twinkled brightly. The cool autumn breeze caressed both of them gently.“Why did you bring me here

His warm breath dispersed on Madeline’s cheek. She was stunned, and everything Jeremy did to her back then appeared in her head.He was cold-blooded and heartless, so he had done every cruel thing in the world to her.Madeline could not think of anything that he had not done to her.While she was spacing out, she noticed Jeremy’s face inching closer to her.Madeline’s heart started racing irregularly. She thought Jeremy was about to kiss her, so she was about to run away when he pulled her into his arms.He lowered his head and buried his face between her neck and shoulder. He seemed to be exhausted. With this hug, he was releasing all of his unknown pressure and stress. He was indulging himself during this hug with her.Madeline was taken aback while stuck in Jeremy’s embrace.She was not wearing very thick clothes, so she could feel Jeremy’s warmth through the material of their clothes since they were in such close proximity. His warmth seeped into her skin, slowly spreading.

She had just begun enacting her plan for revenge, so she would not allow anything to disrupt it.Jeremy answered the call but he did not let go of Madeline. She could not escape even if she wanted to.She looked at Jeremy as he started frowning. Then, his tone became colder. “What? Jackson is missing?”When Madeline heard this, she felt her heart skip a beat.‘Jackson’s missing again?’She started to worry as well.While she was spacing out, Jeremy walked to her with a frown on his face. “My son is missing again, but I think you can find him.”“Me?” Madeline was surprised. However, she did not want to argue with him. Her racing heart told her that she wanted to know Jackson’s whereabouts as well. “I can look for him with you.”“Let’s go then,” he said, letting go of his hand. Then, he placed his coat on top of Madeline’s thin coat.This gesture shocked Madeline. Before she could react, Jeremy pulled her downstairs.On the way, Madeline sent a message to Felipe to let him know
Chapter 259
There was a mole on her left chest that could prove that she was Madeline.It was a mark that she did not want to destroy because she did not think that Jeremy would ever get the chance to see this part of her body after she ‘came back to life’.She was here for revenge, not to start a relationship with him. As such, she did not remove the mole and it was still on her left chest.When she noticed Jeremy’s gaze, she pulled her towel upward before turning her back toward Jeremy.“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?” she asked in agitation.She thought Jeremy would close the door and leave tactfully, but instead, she heard his footsteps approaching her. He stopped right behind her.“Why did you come in? Get out.” Madeline wanted to chase him away and spoke in an icy tone. She clutched the towel closer to her chest and walked further away from him. She was barefooted.However, the moment she took a step forward, Jeremy grabbed her slender arm.His hand was so cold, but the momen

He asked, feeling a debilitating pain in his heart.When he recalled Madeline’s helpless expression when she was explaining herself with tears streaming down her face, he felt like such an irredeemable sinner.How could he be so cruel to hurt a woman who loved him so much?How could he only realize that he had fallen for her when it was already too late?Now, he finally understood why Old Master Whitman asked her that question when she said she wanted to divorce him.The old master had asked her whether they slept together after marriage.Of course, he did. Multiple times.He said he was disgusted by her, but he still could not stop himself from touching her.It turned out that he was just unable to restrain his emotions, but when he found out about it, it was too late.Jeremy gathered his thoughts and looked at the tombstone. “She looks just like you, so I keep having misconceptions. I hugged her last night, but I was really hoping she’s you.”His tone was filled with so muc

Madeline looked at the man who had emerged from the crowd and she could feel her spirit leaving her body.She had not seen him for three years, but the person in front of her was still bright-eyed and handsome. There was an added sense of maturity that was not there before on his sharp features.He walked toward her, her face reflecting in his onyx-like eyes. There was an unspeakable joy and surprise in them.“Maddie, it is you…” Daniel looked at her intensely, his voice still as gentle and warm as the spring breeze.“I’m sorry. I’m not Madeline Crawford.” Madeline lifted her eyebrow in annoyance. “If you guys are just here to see if I look like Madeline Crawford, then please leave. I have a business to run,” she said coldly before turning around. When her face was out of Daniel and Ava’s sight, she lowered her gaze.‘Ava, Dan, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for my cruelness.’“Maddie!” Ava did not give up and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “Maddie, why have you become like this? You’re

Ava was unconvinced. She wanted to argue further, but after she heard what Jeremy said, the expectations in her heart went out immediately.She looked at Madeline and became dispirited after seeing her charming face.‘Is this really not Maddie?‘No, that’s impossible.’Ava glared at Jeremy angrily before gritting her teeth. “Jeremy, this must be a trap. She’s definitely Maddie! You’re the one who—”“Enough.” Madeline interrupted her with a cold voice. “I don’t care what happened between you and Madeline, but it has nothing to do with me. Listen closely, I’m not Madeline Crawford.”After she said that, she lifted her beautiful eyes and looked at Jeremy. “I’m going to give myself a break today. I wonder if you have time to accompany me, Mr. Whitman?”Jeremy looked into her mesmerizing eyes and smiled. “It would be my honor.”After he said that, he grabbed Madeline’s hand.Everyone around them made way for them conscientiously. Then, they watched as Jermey left while holding Made

His deep and seductive voice slid into her ear before landing on her heart.Madeline did not expect Jeremy to ask such a question.There was visible shock on her face. Despite feeling taken aback, she was still calm. “Jeremy, do you know what you’re talking about?”“Of course, I know what I’m talking about.” He lowered his voice to make it sound even more alluring.“I’ll be marrying Felipe soon, so why would I like you?” Madeline said coldly, pushing him away.However, Jeremy merely grabbed the hand that landed on his shoulder.“Do you really not like me? Then why did you come looking for me in the hospital last night and tell me that you’re worried about me?” he asked, “You were concerned about me. Plus, I don’t think you like my uncle all that much,” he said as his dark eyes lingered on Madeline’s face. He could feel his heart skipping a beat.Despite knowing that they were two different people, he still could not ignore this face of hers that looked exactly the same as Madeli
