’I’m undeserving of you. Goodbye, my dearest Linnie, my one and only.’Jeremy looked at Madeline for one last time and silently turned around.Tears welled from deep inside, streaming down his cheeks.He knew that it was all his own doing. He could not blame anyone but himself.‘My heart hurts so much. It feels like I can’t breathe.’As the ship got closer, the intensity of the sea breeze increased.The wind messed up Madeline's hair. She tried to tidy her hair and caught a glimpse of Jeremy who was about to leave.Madeline's heart felt as though it was being stabbed when she saw him.In a daze, something fell from Madeline's hand.She bent down to pick it up. Unfortunately, she stumbled and lost her center of gravity.Ah! Jeremy, who was not too far off, heard Madeline's cry for help. Then, he heard the sound of someone falling into the water.His heartbeat immediately increased. When he turned around, he did not see Madeline's figure and only saw a ripple on the shore.

Jeremy's mood completely collapsed and fell apart.He hung his head in despair and pressed it to Madeline's smooth forehead.His trembling hand gently stroked her warm and soft cheeks as the hot tears that he was unable to hold back came streaming down."Why do you want to torture us so much? Why did I do such stupid things when you loved me so much? Linnie, please don't leave me. Please..."Jeremy embraced Madeline's pale face, his heart shattering along with his dripping teardrops as a bone-cutting pain invaded his whole body."Linnie, if you really want to go to another world, I will accompany you."His warm fingertips groped about her profile while his eyes were shrouded in darkness."I’ll go wherever you go in the future."He smiled, his thin lips falling on Madeline's as he kissed her deeply.At this moment, Madeline coughed.Jeremy's heart that was almost dying suddenly found its rhythm once more."Linnie?"He was so surprised that he looked at Madeline who had sudde

Not long after Felipe brought Madeline onto the boat, she woke up.She opened her feeble eyes and saw Felipe's handsome face that was filled with concern and worry."Eveline. Eveline, are you awake?" he asked softly.Madeline was not fully awake yet. She rolled her eyes and looked around as if she was looking for something in her confusion"Eveline?""Felipe?" Madeline looked at the man holding her questioningly. "Why is it you?""Dummy, who else would it be?" He stroked her cheek. "I knew you were taken away by Jeremy, so I‘ve been looking for you. When I had just taken a boat to the shore, I saw you accidentally falling into the water."Listening to him, Madeline slowly recalled what happened before she passed out.She saw Jeremy turn and walk away, and as he walked farther and farther, for some reason, she was in a daze. The bookmark she was holding had fallen out of her hand as well.She was anxious to retrieve the leaf bookmark, but it had fallen into the sea accidentally

"Dad!" The little guy's clear and sweet voice broke the silence.Madeline raised her eyes and looked outside the iron gates.It really was Jeremy.He wore a simple casual outfit and the off-white shirt added a touch of warmth as well as elegance to his cold but handsome appearance.Jeremy seemed to be a little surprised when he saw Madeline, but he quickly put on a light and gentle smile before walking toward the mother and son.Madeline's gaze fell on Jeremy's heart subconsciously.She thought of the day when Jeremy had forcibly held her hand to his own heart, piercing it.The wound should not have healed so quickly."Daddy." On his short legs, Jackson ran toward Jeremy.Jeremy crouched down and spread his arms to greet the little guy. "Jack."He held the warm and soft little boy, kissing Jack's cheek affectionately."You’ll be going to live somewhere else with your mom tomorrow. Listen to your mom, okay?" he whispered, his smiling eyes hiding his unspeakable struggle.Jac

She saw Jeremy and Felipe pass by one another. The two seemed to have looked at each other, but there was no exchange.Felipe walked straight toward her, his elegant, gentle, and handsome face carrying a smile like a spring breeze.His tall approaching figure quickly blocked Jeremy's back."Were you waiting for me?" Felipe smiled gently. He stretched his hands over to Madeline's shoulders before turning her around.Madeline smiled slightly, following Felipe and turning into the house. Jeremy's back was completely blurred until it finally disappeared.In the distance, Jeremy had stopped.He looked back and saw that the moment Felipe held Madeline. Their two frames came into his sight and it was as if thousands of ants had crawled over his heart, biting at it wildly.The shimmer in his eyes was gradually melted by the breeze.The Madeline who had once chased after him and the scenes of her admiring him in his memories were now gray sand sculptures, slowly being blown away by the

Old Master Whitman did not know what Felipe wanted to do to him, but he did not have a good premonition. Yet, he did not think that Felipe would dare do anything extreme in broad daylight.Felipe just smiled indifferently before taking out a two-inch photo from his suit pocket.He showed the photo to the old man, and his black phoenix eyes were filled with a treacherous smile. "Do you still recognize the person in the photo? One of them is your brother and the other is your sister-in-law. They were a loving, married couple with a well-behaved, sensible son. They had a blissful family and successful careers, but what was the result?"Felipe said in a cold tone as he fiercely pushed the photo onto the old man’s face. "They were ruined by you!""Hnghh..."The old man whimpered out with difficulty, his eyes wide.Felipe raised his lips cheerfully. "What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable? Is it painful? The way you are now is your retribution.""Hngh hmph...""Don't worry, I won't

He went into the old master’s ward to accompany him in silence. He watched the sky darken through the windows as his heart remained dull and void of light. How could he not when his son and the woman he loved the most was going to leave with another man tomorrow? There was nothing he could do to stop her, for he had already sworn to himself that he would not force her against her will again. He would let her go if it meant she would find true happiness. Still, mixed emotions clashed strongly within himself at the knowledge that Madeline was leaving with Felipe of all people. “Mad…” In the silence, Jeremy heard a raspy voice groan out. He looked up and was elated to know that the old master was speaking again! “Mad, Mad…” “Grandfather.” Jeremy rushed over to grasp the old master’s icy hands. “Can you speak already, Grandfather?” Old Master Whitman stared at Jeremy as his trembling hand tightened against the latter’s hold. “Mad, Mad...” He repeated. Stunned for a

Glendale Airport. With Jackson’s hand in hers, Madeline walked into the VIP lounge. Eloise and Sean followed them in. A host had brought in a flavorful breakfast for them, but Madeline did not seem to have much of an appetite. Unease gnawed within her, thought its cause was unknown.Eloise got up to sit by Madeline’s side before finally holding Madeline’s hand in hers after a long moment of pondering. “Eveline.” She called out, the corners of her eyes growing hot. “Take good care of yourself, Eveline. And come visit Glendale when you have time…” She paused as her eyes flitted to look at Sean. “Come visit Mom and Dad.” Madeline passed a piece of tissue to wipe Eloise’s tears. “I will.” Eloise felt her nose burn as she hugged Madeline lightly. “Mom’s really sorry, Eveline… I hope you’ll never have to suffer again.”Madeline patted Eloise’s shoulder comfortingly with a small smile, but she felt her heart clench when she saw Sean wiping his tears away from the corner of h
