Chapter 285
Jeremy furrowed his sharp brows. “What did you say?” “When will you stop, Jeremy? Until Madeline dies? Is loving you so much of a sin? Tell me, where did you bring her?” Firing the questions at rapid speed, Daniel’s worry and anxiousness became apparent and real. Still, Madeline was already dead. It was the truth no matter how much he refused to face it. Soon enough, he thought of Vera Quinn.Vera was the only possible reason why Daniel would believe that Madeline was still alive. Did something happen to Vera? His heart sunk as a feeling of unease began to bubble within him. Without another thought, Jeremy broke out of Meredith’s grip and turned around. Meredith was stunned for two whole seconds and by the time she looked up, Jeremy had already walked out of the hospital ward. “Jeremy! Jeremy, where are you going?” She asked frantically, but Jeremy did not even spare her a glance from the corner of his eye, let alone turn around. Rose, who had been waiting outside th

“What about you, then? Did you forget the tacos you and my wife were so lovingly enjoying by the roadside, Daniel? You even sent her home afterward. How kind of you. Did you perhaps forget about the kiss in broad daylight?” Jeremy interrogated chillingly, the smile on his face long gone by now and was instead replaced with the frost that forced one to divert their gaze. “I’m telling you, Daniel. Madeline will always be my woman. Even in death, her ashes belong to me! Who do you think you are? You’ve been nothing more than a delusional homewrecker who tried to steal a woman from her husband.” At that, Daniel chuckled. “A homewrecker? So you do know that word. Perhaps Madeline would not have been framed time and time again by that homewrecker Meredith had you not turned a blind eye every time! You were an accomplice!” An emotion rippled through Jeremy’s calm features. He could not deny that he had indeed played the role of the executioner when it came to the harm Madeline had b

Madeline’s heart raced and she was nervous. From the sound, the men had already reached the door. Madeline had no other options. She needed to act now. Bracing through the pain of her bleeding hands, Madeline moved an abandoned chair. The men outside were already tinkling with the lock. After taking a rock from the ground, Madeline stepped on the chair. “F*ck! Didn’t you open the door just now? How did you lose the key? Look for it, now!” An angry voice rang out from outside the door. Hearing them, Madeline realized that this was a great opportunity for her. Staring at the broken window in front of her, she raised the rock to hit it. Crash!The glass shattered instantly with a crisp crack. The people by the door immediately fell silent for a few seconds before someone roared. “F*ck! The chick couldn’t have run off, could she?” “What? She ran off?” A woman’s infuriated voice drifted over, followed by an order. “Kick the door down! The two of you, look for her outside.

Right at that moment, an anonymous text appeared on his phone. ‘West Waste Paper Factory. She’s there. Save her.’Jeremy’s eyes shone. He immediately tried to call the number, but it could not connect. With no time to worry or suspect, Jeremy turned the car around and sped toward the location on the text. Night fell and Madeline was forced to stay in the same place. The dark room’s lights brightened and she could see Meredith still waiting in the same spot. Soon after, the men returned empty-handed. Of course, they had never stopped to think that Madeline was still inside the room and that the cloth was merely a ploy to divert their attention. The play was a success. “Useless! All of you!” Meredith was infuriated, pointing at the men as she scolded. Then, she left, only to be stopped by the leader who had a scar on his face. “Sure, she ran off, but we also did work for you today. Pay up.” Meredith scoffed and crossed her arms in all her spoiled rich girl fashion. “Yo

The two thugs immediately ran to the darkened room, groping around for there was no source of light to guide their way. Right as they were about to reach for their phones, they saw a black shadow dash past them from the wall behind. The two quickly turned their heads back. Using the lapse in time, Madeline threw the chair in her hand at them before turning around and running outside. The thugs reflexively held their arms out to brace themselves. “F*ck! The chick really is here!” “Catch her!” Knowing that it was now pointless to keep on hiding, Madeline decided that she would not sit and wait for them to find her. Using their blindspots against them, Madeline ran out just as they entered the room. However, there was no foolproof way to prevent her from being seen. After exiting the darkened room, Madeline was met with a flushed and unclothed Meredith as well as two other thugs with unkempt clothes. Madeline felt a wave of disgust hit her at the sight. “Vera Quinn?!” Meredi

“Have fun, Vera Quinn! They’re not bad!” “Have you no shame, Meredith Crawford?” “Hahaha… Maybe if you begged, I might have thought about letting you go. Too bad though, if you’re going to be so stubborn, then you can just die!” Meredith’s eyes hardened as an evil smile appeared on her bandaged face. Madeline refused to allow Meredith to hurt her anymore, especially not before she took revenge for all Meredith did to her back then.Watching the four men approaching her, Madeline slowly raised her fists. She would fight to the death before she let herself fall into the hands of these men. When her eyes fell on a wooden stick by the wall, she dashed to pick it up before anyone could stop her. “Oh? What a feisty one. I like it.” The scarred man smiled wretchedly with a hand rubbing his chin as he stared disapprovingly at the wooden stick in Madeline’s hand. “I’d stop fighting back if I were you, beautiful, lest you suffer unnecessary beatings for your misbehavior!” Madeline
Chapter 291
Madeline’s head felt muddled under the influence of the drug. She vaguely thought she had heard a voice by her ear, calling her Madeline and telling her that it was going to be alright.Madeline struggled to open her eyes just so she could see who it was, but her eyelids seemed to grow heavier by the second. Instinctively, she curled toward the man who refused to let her go. Perhaps because he gave her a sense of security. This might have been the first time Madeline felt what it meant to be protected. All she had been subjected to these past few years were nothing less of torture. Every time she wished someone would help her up, all she received was more pain. It had gotten to the point where she had given up on hoping because her heart was tired from all the disappointment. Right now, she finally understood what it felt like to have someone supporting her back and it was very warm... Jeremy felt the person in his arms lean deeper into his embrace, her hands slowly slidi
Chapter 292
Bending his finger, Jeremy was about to pull his hand back when the decisive words of Ava and Daniel echoed in his head. ‘She is Maddie!‘I refuse to believe that there are two people in this world who would like so alike!’How could they be so sure? Unless it was because they saw some sort of identifying mark? Identifying mark?Jeremy was reminded of the mole above Madeline’s left chest. Jeremy remembered how Vera’s grip on the towel had tightened when she walked out of the bathroom the time she had stayed the night for Jackson. Had she perhaps done so not out of embarrassment but out of fear of him realizing something? Jeremy’s heart rate sped up at the thought. Staring at Madeline who was still deeply asleep, one of his fingers fell on the button of her hospital gown. The first, second, and third buttons were unclasped in quick succession. Click. The ward door burst open when Jeremy’s hand was still on Madeline’s gown. “What are you doing, Jeremy?” Felipe
