Chapter 38
Madeline went back to the house. She wanted to leave after packing some clothes. However, when she saw the baby clothes on the sofa, she could not help but hold them in her hands while feeling reluctant.When she remembered that Jeremy was the one who bought these baby clothes for Meredith, she felt a pang of indescribable pain in her chest.She touched her three-month pregnant stomach. She could feel tears pricking the corner of her eyes.However, Madeline wiped away her tears quickly.She hated herself for failing to live up to expectations. That man was so cruel to her and yet she was still deeply worried and longing for this man who she could not get.Madeline took a set of baby clothes and went downstairs. However, she did not expect to run into Jeremy and Meredith at the door.When she saw Meredith walking over while holding Jeremy’s hand intimately, Madeline’s heart started hurting as if it was being stabbed by a million needles.“Maddie, where are you going?” Meredith as

The baby in her child would be able to wear these no matter what their sex was.Madeline was about to pay for the clothes. However, when she turned around, she saw Meredith.It seemed as if she was alone. She had a sinister smile on her face. Madeline wanted to walk past her, but Meredith stopped her.“Maddie, you’re in so much trouble and you’re still in the mood to shop? Aren’t the police looking for you?”Madeline was confused about what she was talking about. Then, Meredith continued. “You’re such a character as well. It’s fine if you don’t have talent, but why did you plagiarize other people’s work? The company, Minora, is suing you for ruining their company’s name. Plus, they’re also suing you for breaching their intellectual property rights. If you’re convicted of this crime, you’re going to jail.”Madeline was puzzled. The company that Meredith mentioned was the company that entrusted her to design the couple rings.However, that was her own creation. She never stole any

Madeline was being held in the lockup. Two days later, she finally met Jeremy.It was the same meeting room as last time. However, she looked even more battered than before. On the other hand, the man looked even angrier than last time.He was like a demon from hell. The moment he came in, he grabbed Madeline’s collar as his icy gaze almost penetrated her like an ice sword.“Madeline, what did I warn you about? Is it so hard to live a quiet life? Do you have to look for death?”“Jeremy, I didn’t push her. Meredith was the one who purposely let go of my hand after grabbing me! You can look at the security footage if you don’t believe me! There must be security cameras in that shop! Jeremy, you’ll know the truth after you see it!” Madeline was holding onto the last chance at life. She kept on emphasizing her words. “The truth is you pushed Mer! It’s clear as day on the security footage!”What?Meredith was stunned. Her mind went blank.Jeremy showed her the footage. Madeline did
Chapter 41
After her failed appeal, Madeline was forced to accept this absurd disaster.Three years.She laughed bitterly.It was still unknown whether she could live until the day her child was born.Madeline did not tell the officer about her pregnancy. She did not forget how she was so badly beaten when she told them.However, her nightmare was still here. That night, Madeline was beaten up by a gang of bald prisoners.Madeline did not have any energy to fight back. In addition to that, she was also being tortured by her tumor. She started trembling in pain.She had no choice but to curl herself into a ball to prevent them from kicking her stomach.This kind of situation would happen occasionally. Fortunately, they did not hit her stomach.Madeline reported about this a few times, but nothing happened.Every hopeless night, Madeline gritted her teeth in pain. She only managed to survive after thinking about the life that she was nurturing in her stomach.‘Jeremy, you’re so cruel.‘
Chapter 42
The officer’s question caused Madeline’s heart to freeze. It also made her come to a realization.This had already been planned from way back. Everyone was in on this.All of this happened because she fell in love with a man she should not have.Madeline grabbed the cold iron bars in despair and knelt on the floor.‘Jeremy Whitman, if we could do this again, I’d rather not have met you…’Madeline did not expect to live until the day she got out of jail.Perhaps the medication Daniel asked his people to send over had amazing effects with tumors, or perhaps it was her strong will of wanting to see her child who was kidnapped after they forcefully induced labor on her. In short, she miraculously lived.It was sunny the day she got out of prison. However, it could not get rid of the fog and pain that was kept in her heart for three years.The torture from those thousand over days was printed all over her body and they were not going to fade anytime soon.Madeline watched as Daniel

The next day, Madeline bought some fruits and her grandfather’s favorite snacks before going to the hospital.She went directly to the room her grandfather was staying in but realized her grandfather was not there.Madeline went to the reception to ask about this. When the nurse saw that she was Len Samuels’ family member, the nurse looked at her with a peculiar expression. Her tone was also unfriendly. “So, you’re Mr. Samuels’ granddaughter? Is this how you should behave as his grandchild? He has been dead for three years. Why are you still here? Go to the funeral parlor. His ashes are over there.”Clank! The fruits in Madeline’s hands fell to the ground.She widened her blank eyes and was stuck in a daze. The pain started to penetrate her entire body.She thought her heart was dead. She thought it was so numb that it would not feel any pain anymore. However, this suffocating pain was making it hard for her to breathe. Her grandfather was dead. He had been dead for three year
Chapter 44
Madeline was heartbroken.A million arrows to her heart would not be as horrible as this.She would never forget that night. She was cruelly inducted into labor and had her child forcefully taken away from her.Until now, she still did not know whether that child was a boy or a girl. Did the child look like her or more like Jeremy?Madeline looked at Meredith’s Twitter account and saw her showing off furiously. She was showing off her expensive cars, her branded bags, and her reputable as well as famous biological parents. She was even showing off the cute son she had with Jeremy.An evil woman like her had everything now.On the contrary, she, Madeline, had nothing.How ironic.There had been a few instances when Madeline wanted to look for Jeremy. However, she realized she did not have the courage to do so.She had been tortured mercilessly in prison and it made her flinch at the very thought of it.However, when she thought about her missing child, Madeline still took this
Chapter 45
Madeline’s vision was blurred by her tears.However, she still could not believe Jeremy would be that cold-blooded.It was such a lively child. Could he really do that to a child?Meredith yanked Madeline’s short hair with all her might. She looked at Madeline’s bare yet stunning face and could feel anger rising in her chest. “Madeline, do you know who I am now? I’m Miss Montgomery, and I’m going to be Mrs. Whitman soon. Who are you to fight me?”She kicked away Madeline who was too weak to fight back. Smiling maliciously, she said, “Didn’t you want me to give you back your child?”Madeline quivered. She could see Meredith holding a bottle that was about the size of a fist through her blurry vision. There was some white powder in it.“Your child is here.”What?Madeline felt as if all of the blood in her body had been sucked dry and her flesh had also been scraped clean. She only had her bones left.Her vision turned dark, but she could hear Meredith’s eerie voice saying, “How
