Chapter 735
Cathy’s entire body went cold when she heard that.However, the man walked past her without even turning back. His broad shoulders bumped into her frail ones and the impact caused Cathy to shudder.However, she did not fall because the bodyguard by the door had come in to bring her away.In the humid and dark basement, Cathy’s right wrist was tied to a heavy chain. There were wounds of different sizes on her body under her thin shirt.Her face was pale as she leaned against the icy wall while breathing lightly. She touched her flat stomach with her trembling and bloody fingers. When she felt the faint warmth there, a small smile appeared on Cathy’s face.Clank. The metal door of the basement was opened.A ray of light came into the room, and Cathy looked up to see a man in a white shirt walking over. He had his back against the light, looking so gentle. Plus, he even had a hint of boyishness to him. All of these combined made her recall the memory by the beach.“Feli…” When sh

Felipe was walking in. When he saw Madeline, he walked over to her with a soft smile. “Eveline.”“Why are you back so soon?” Madeline asked with a grin. However, she was looking at Felipe differently now.“I’m worried about you.” Felipe’s eyes were filled with love. “Lillian just left and you must be feeling sad, so I want to accompany you.”“Sad? Yeah, I’m devastated.” Madeline smiled superficially. Then, she looked straight at Felipe. “Can you take a walk with me nearby?”“Of course.” Felipe smiled and nodded. Then, he followed Madeline to the street that was filled with fallen ginkgo leaves.There was a sudden gust of autumn wind and the yellow ginkgo leaves fluttered down like butterflies before falling to the ground soundlessly.Felipe noticed that Madeline was not in a good mood, but he understood why.Lillian was her child who she carried for ten months, and now, she was gone. Perhaps she would need a long time before this pain could heal.However, since the wound was de

Felipe was unhappy with Jeremy’s sudden appearance.However, he also did not expect him to appear with evidence.Jeremy just got the report and was on his way to look for Madeline. However, before he could get to Montgomery Manor, he saw Madeline and Felipe walking together.He handed the report over. “Linnie, this is Felipe’s result from the last time he had a check-up. It’s stated clearly that his blood type is O while yours is AB. If either one of the parents has O as their blood type, then they would not have a child with an AB blood type. However, Lily’s blood type is AB.”Jeremy came up with a scientific explanation, so Felipe had nothing to say to that.“Linnie, it’s obvious who Lily’s real father is. Felipe is the one exploiting your memory loss and lying to you.”“Jeremy, it’s so funny when you’re the one who’s saying the word ‘exploit’.” Felipe mocked. His gentle gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “Eveline, the reason I did that is to stop you from having any contact with

“Felipe, what are you trying to say? Are you showing off to me?”“Hmph.” Felipe snorted. “I just want to tell you now that things have come to this, we need to have a solution. I’ll wait for you where Lillian was killed half an hour later. If you show up, I’ll give you all records of Lillian from the moment she was born. If you don’t, then just pretend I never made this call.”Felipe hung up before Jeremy could reply.Cathy stood by the wall of the study while her body was covered in bruises and wounds.She contemplated before going back to her room quietly.After pondering, she picked up her phone and typed out a string of words…Madeline did not go back to Montgomery Manor after she left.She walked aimlessly along the streets. Despite the hustle and bustle around her, she still felt a bone-piercing chill in her heart.Never in her wildest dreams would she think Felipe was capable of doing such heinous things.Madeline felt that this was ridiculous. The man who told her he l

After the gun was fired, Madeline felt something tugging on her thoughts. At the same time, a muffled crashing sound appeared in her mind as well, and it was… a car crash.In the next second, a lot of memories started flooding back in front of Madeline’s eyes, including how she used to so stubbornly love someone named Jeremy Whitman. Even if he was cold and heartless to her, she would still love him deeply. Then, the image of her doing everything for him without complaints appeared in her brain.She remembered.She remembered everything.She also remembered how she stopped hating Jeremy before the car crash.That day, in front of the house, she heard Jeremy sincerely telling Jackson about how remorseful he felt. Moreover, the sincerity on his face made her let go of her hatred toward him.‘I’ve already stopped hating him.’Madeline finally understood.Her hatred toward Jeremy after that was all influenced by Felipe.Felipe…Madeline could not imagine how such a gentle and kin

“Felipe, thank you for saving my life, but now, I’m returning the favor.”When Felipe heard this, he was completely stunned.Jeremy held Madeline who was bleeding out and ran to the car that was stopped at the side of the road without hesitating.“Linnie, you have to hold on!” His eyes were filled with tears as he ran forward.Madeline opened her blurry eyes, seeing the worry and fear in Jeremy’s eyes.It was the same look as when she had vomited blood during Meredith’s engagement party. Madeline slowly started to understand. Jeremy was scared, but what was he scared of? Was he scared that she would die?Hospital.Jeremy sat outside the emergency room while feeling flustered.Even though the bullet had only hit Madeline’s shoulder, it was still a gunshot wound and not a normal wound.After a long while, the surgery was done.The doctor told him that Madeline’s life was not in danger and they also took the bullet out. However, the wound on her shoulder was pretty deep, so sh

She held her breath and felt the wetness seeping through her pants.She lifted her head to look at Felipe’s cold back. Then, she held her clothes and endured the pain before slowly walking out.She did not even have the right to call out to him with his name, so how would she dare think he would give her even an ounce of pity at this moment?After Cathy walked out of the room while enduring the pain, she held the wall and walked back to her room.Mrs. Sawyer, the housekeeper, had just finished cleaning the room and was on her way out. When she saw Cathy walking over with a pale face, she was shocked.“Miss, are you—”“Don’t tell Felipe,” Cathy told her with all her might. “Please, Mrs. Sawyer, help me back to my room.”Mrs. Sawyer did not dare to ask much about the affairs of her employers, so she hurriedly helped Cathy back to her room.Mrs. Sawyer understood immediately when she saw the trail of blood on the floor.After Mrs. Sawyer cleaned up the blood on the floor, she wen

However, to her surprise, she saw Felipe walking over with a bouquet of roses.At this moment, Felipe was completely different from how he looked that day. He was back to his elegant and poised demeanor.A few women were looking at him, admiring his looks like love-struck teenagers.Cathy was like that as well. Whenever this happened, she would wonder if she was very lucky. Even if she could not get his love, at least she got his body.As she was comforting herself, she saw Felipe walking to the inpatient department.Then, she realized that Felipe was visiting Madeline with a bouquet of roses.However, why was Madeline in the hospital?Cathy remembered the text she sent Madeline that day.She heard that Felipe wanted to meet Jeremy alone and had a bad feeling. Hence, she messaged Madeline and told her about this.She was hoping that Madeline could stop the two of them and prevent anything bad from happening.However, it seemed that something bad did happen that day because Ma
