Madeline saw a pair of expensive black leather shoes and a pair of long, lean legs. She lifted her head, and in her dazed state, she vaguely saw a familiar face before she passed out.When Madeline regained consciousness, she realized that she was in the hospital. Ava was staying next to her.Ava saw that she was awake but she still was not relieved. “Maddie, don’t you know the condition of your body? Why did you go out in the rain and got yourself into this situation?”Madeline saw that Ava was on the brink of tears. Her eyes were red and the corner of her lips was twitching.“I’m awake now, aren’t I?” Madeline smiled. However, she subconsciously felt that her body might have worsened. She did not want to think about it anymore.She recalled how she had used her life to swear to Jeremy earlier. Perhaps her life was going to end soon, so that promise of dying a horrible death felt extremely hilarious and amusing to her now.“Who sent me here?”Madeline remembered what happened b

What?Madeline could not believe what she had just heard.Jeremy calling her his wife was already a fantasy, but what astonished her the most was how Jeremy addressed her boss.Uncle?She did not know the name of the man who had helped her twice. She only knew that the staff would call him Mr. Whitman.However, Madeline did not think too much of it at that time. After all, there were so many people with the same last name in this world. Hence, she did not expect him to be Jeremy’s uncle.Felipe Whitman got out of the car slowly, looking at Madeline in puzzlement. “So, you’re Jeremy’s wife?”Madeline opened her mouth after being stuck in a daze. “For now.”Jeremy’s face fell when he heard Madeline’s answer.“For now?” Felipe’s interest was piqued by her answer. He looked at Jeremy with a small smile on his face. “If that’s the case, then I won’t stop you from taking your wife home.”Felipe got into his car again before looking at Madeline. “Remember to come to work tomorrow. I

Madeline realized Ava’s last sentence had completely offended Jeremy.He suddenly put out the cigarette and looked like Satan from the underworld. Then, he pulled Madeline into his arms.Ava, who had lost Madeline's support, faltered and fell to the ground with a loud thud.“Ava!”Madeline shouted nervously as she tried to run over and help Ava. However, Jeremy forcibly pushed her into the car.The man was full of hostility. “Madeline, is this what you did? You lied to your good friend that I let you down and portrayed yourself as a victim? You’re really something else.”Jeremy stared at Madeline angrily. It was as if he was trying to penetrate her with his eyes.“The promise between us? What promise did I make to you? Can you stop dreaming?”Once again, he erased the promises and agreements he had made to her back then.Madeline did not expect Jeremy to remember those beautiful vows anymore.Those memories had long been left with only a black outline. They would disappear in

Jeremy stared at Madeline intensely with his brows furrowed together. The raging fire in his eyes seemed to disappear in an instant.He lowered his body to get close to her. Then, he pushed the strands of her stray hair away from her forehead. His tone was unprecedentedly gentle when he said, “You said that you were pregnant with my child before you get incarcerated. How did you lose the child?”It would be fine if he had not asked her. The moment he asked her, the unhealed wound in Madeline’s heart was split open. Blood started pouring out from it profusely.She looked at Jeremy who asked her this question all of a sudden in amusement. “Just like you said, Mr. Whitman. She’s dead, so why bother asking? Would she come back to life?”“Madeline, answer me.”Jeremy looked at Madeline who had a fake smile on her face. Her heart was being clamped tightly by an invisible pair of pliers. “Mr. Whitman, you’re such an expert at sprinkling salt on someone else’s wound.” Madeline smiled sa

When Meredith heard this, she could not hold it in anymore. “Jeremy, I came looking for you the moment I woke up. I haven’t even had breakfast yet. What should I do if you leave?”Jeremy did not turn around. “You can use this time to have breakfast.”“...” Meredith stood on her ground with a dazed look. She watched as Jeremy ignored her and walked toward Madeline instead. She grabbed her purse tightly, feeling as if she was about to explode.Madeline was surprised about Jeremy’s actions as well. However, it seemed like he was being serious. When he walked past her, he intentionally slowed down and looked at her profoundly. “Come with me.”Madeline did not understand why Jeremy was doing this, but when she saw Meredith’s livid face, she smiled and cooperated. She got into Jeremy’s car.To prevent any unnecessary arguments, Madeline did not say anything the entire way. Jeremy did not say anything as well.Madeline stole a glance at Jeremy and saw his gorgeous side profile that was
