She could even feel his strong, powerful heartbeat.But what was going on?She tried hard to recall what happened last night, but she only remembered that she ran out as she didnât want Jeremy to see her current hideous appearance. Alas, she fainted while running.Just as she was trying to recall what happened, Jeremy seemed to have woken up.Overcome by shock, Madeline immediately closed her eyes, her heart beating so fast to the point it almost jumped out of her throat. Jeremy opened his eyes and gradually raised the arm he had around Madelineâs waist, then proceeded to get off the bed.Madeline thought that Jeremy left at first, but she suddenly felt his breath closing in on her. The next moment, his forehead leaned against hers as if he were sensing her body temperature. Madeline didnât dare to believe Jeremyâs current actions. Even more so, she didnât dare to believe that he tucked her into the blanket attentively before leaving. Madeline finally opened her eyes after
Madeline was certain that Jeremy knew for sure that he was the Mr. Whitman that she was referring to. She thought that he would show some empathy and remorse toward that incident, but all she heard was the sound of his disdainful scoff. âMadeline, youâre still adamant on attaching that bastard to my namesake till today. Iâll tell you once again that I, Jeremy Whitman, only have one biological son, and he is Jackson Whitman,â he said.After he finished talking with a cold smile on his face, he let go of the hand he was using to hold Madeline in place. âIâm hungry, go get a bowl of porridge for me,â he said. Madeline clenched both her fists tightly. Looking at the cold, merciless man before her, she said in a dull tone, âI didnât make enough for you, Mr. Whitman. The portion here is small, please go back.â âMadeline Crawford, is this the attitude youâre going to have while talking to me?â Jeremy asked, his brows furrowing slightly. It was evident that he was displeased.Madel
Madeline went to the hospital again. She didnât go there for the wound on her face but went there to visit Eloise instead.Since it was nearing the new year, the atmosphere of the new year could even be detected in the hospital. Madeline wore her mask and saw a flower vendor at the entrance of the hospital. After thinking for a bit, she finally chose a bunch of pink carnations. She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from her bag. After writing the words âMadam Eloise Patton, I wish you a speedy recoveryâ on the paper, she placed it in the middle of the bouquet.Madeline enquired about Eloiseâs ward from the reception desk. She was located in the VIP ward section.However, Madeline hesitated when she arrived in front of the roomâs door. Nobody will welcome her here. She would just be seeking humiliation if she went in. However, inexplicably, she couldnât let go of Eloise from her heart. At this moment, laughter rang out from the room.âEloise, just look at how much youâre
After the impact, Madeline leaned against the wall, her head spinning. She did not notice the gold pendant she always had hidden in her clothes slip out. However, Meredith noticed immediately! She definitely noticed the butterfly-shaped gold pendant that slipped out of Madelineâs collar!She did not forget, three years ago, she when heard that Madeline could be Eloiseâs daughter by birth, she tried all sorts of ways to obtain Eloiseâs own personal toothbrush from Brittany, and at the same time, she stole Madelineâs clothes that had her DNA in order to perform a DNA test.The results stated that Madeline really was the daughter that Eloise and Sean Montgomery had been looking for over twenty years!It caused Meredith to feel incredibly envious but also gave birth to another evil thought. She devised a fake show with Rose and Jon which caused Eloise and Sean to suspect that she would be their daughter that was mistakenly taken away from the hospital all those years ago. Eloise a
The pendant fell on the back of Madelineâs foot and bounced off before landing next to Eloiseâs wheelchair. Madeline coughed as her face turned red, her throat was extremely sore. She did not notice the sudden change in Meredith and Roseâs expressions, but she did hear Eloiseâs surprised shout.âThis! This gold pendant!âEloiseâs voice was shaking, and she was even stuttering. Madeline looked over with suspicion and saw Eloise pressing onto where she had her surgery before standing up from the wheelchair to pick up the pendant. âSean! Sean!â Eloise cried out for Sean. When Sean heard Eloiseâs cries, he ran over. The moment he saw the pendant in Eloiseâs hand, he looked extremely shocked, it was as if he had recovered something that was long lost.âThis! This is the pendant we had custom made for our precious Linnie all those years ago! Did you finally find it?â What?Madeline did not even have time to catch her breath when she heard Sean say that. Her mind suddenly went bla
Madeline looked on as Sean gently put the pendant on Meredithâs neck, and Meredithâs eyes were full of tears with a touched look on her face.âHow wonderful, the pendant has finally returned to our precious daughter.â Eloiseâs elated voice could be heard. Her gaze was filled with motherly love as she looked at Meredith.Looking at that scene, Madeline could not help but cry as an inexplicable pain shot through her heart. She stepped forward and tried to explain. âI did not steal that pendant, my grandfather left itâŚââMadeline, what are you still trying to do?!â Rose suddenly interrupted her, forcefully pulling Madelineâs shoulder. âGet out of here this instant! Donât for a moment think that Meredith is an easy target!âRose continued to shout as she pulled Madeline away from them. Madeline wanted to fight back, but her body was very weak. Her vision got hazier as she looked at the familial scene in front of her. The pain in her heart intensified looking at Sean and Eloise tend
Madeline tried to escape, but she could not resist that huge man. She was forced into a car. âWho are you?! Where are you bringing me?!â Madeline shouted, but no one responded. She could not even jump out of the car if she wanted to, since someone was holding onto her hands the whole way. After a little over ten minutes, the car stopped at a deserted place outside the city.âGet out!â The man fiercely pulled her out of the car, shoving her onto the ground.As Madeline fell on the ground, her palms fell onto the sharp rocks on the floor, piercing through her skin as she started to bleed. She ignored the pain as she raised her head up.âWhat are you doing?! Who sent you here, is it Meredith?!â She asked. The moment she said that, Meredith appeared in front of her. Meredith had a face full of makeup and an expensive branded fur coat as she looked down arrogantly on Madeline. âMeredith, so it is you!â Madeline clenched her teeth as she faced the vile woman. âWhat did you have me
After her poisonous warning, Meredith violently pulled Madelineâs hair, shoving her head into a tree trunk over and over again, until Madeline had a gaping wound on her head.Madeline understood why Meredith had ordered some thugs to beat her up beforehand, it was to make it easier for Meredith to torture her right now. Madeline had absolutely no power to fight back. Madelineâs wound on her forehead had only just begun to heal, but it was once again open and bleeding.However, the pain that Meredith had brought onto her was not limited to just that. At the moment, Madeline was slumped on the floor, leaning against a dried-up tree, her pale face full of dirt and blood, looking absolutely terrifying.Meredith stood in front of Madeline, grabbing onto her chin. âOh, look at how pathetic you are right now. Quit dreaming of seducing any more men. You can forget about Jeremy, as for FelipeâŚâShe paused for a moment before letting out a crazy laugh.âMadeline, do you really think a high-
