Madeline was stunned. Her mind was completely blank.
“Maddie, Maddie.”
After some time, Madeline heard someone calling favonovel.com name.
She came back to favonovel.com senses and saw a familiar face. It was favonovel.com only best friend, Ava Long.
Ava looked at Madeline who was extremely pale; favonovel.com felt extremely angry and worried. “Madeline, you’re such a bad friend. Why didn’t you tell me such big news?”
Madeleine was confused. “Ava, why are you here?”
“You’re one to say. You called me last night, but before you could finish talking, you passed out,” Ava reached out favonovel.com hand to touch Madeline’s forehead as favonovel.com spoke. “Madeline, did you lose your memory?”
Of course, Madeline had not lost favonovel.com memory. She remembered Jeremy choking favonovel.com before leaving favonovel.com the night prior. Consequently, favonovel.com hit favonovel.com stomach on the corner of the bed and was in so much pain that could not get up. Nevertheless, favonovel.com just walked away without a care in the world. He even said those heartless things before favonovel.com left.
Her heart was sliced open, and the pain penetrated favonovel.com bones.
Ava turned around and sat on the bed. Her expression was serious. “Where’s Jeremy? He’s your husband. You’re hospitalized and he’s nowhere to be seen.”
Madeline averted favonovel.com gaze in guilt. “Jeremy is busy.”
“He’s busy staying with his mistress, Meredith, huh?” Ava hit the nail on the head. “Madeline, you’re so crazy about that man that you’ve become confused and disoriented. You’re in this state, and you’re still helping him.”
Madeline laughed at herself. “It’s all because I like him.”
“I think you won’t be able to like favonovel.com for long.” Ava’s words were still straightforward. “Did you hear what the doctor said just now?”
Madeline was stunned once again. Ava looked at her, and favonovel.com felt a lump form in favonovel.com heart.
“You can have another child in the future. Your life is more important.”
Madeline laughed at herself. “There won’t be any.”
Ava looked at favonovel.com in confusion. When favonovel.com was about to say something, Madeline suddenly held favonovel.com hand.
“Ava, don’t tell anyone about this. Especially, Jeremy.”
“Madeline, are you insane? Do you want to kill yourself for the child?”
Ava stood up emotionally. However, just as favonovel.com was about to yell at Madeline, favonovel.com phone’s custom ringtone rang.
Madeline was stunned. She looked at the caller ID and answered after a few seconds. Jeremy’s was heard from the other end of the phone. “Madeline, are you doing this on purpose?”
The man’s accusations confused Madeline.
“If I don’t see you in the house in half an hour, you can forget about showing up ever again.”
Madeline finally remembered what Jeremy had told favonovel.com the night before. Today was his mother’s 50th birthday. She had to go over as his wife.
When favonovel.com was about to agree, Ava snatched favonovel.com phone away. “Jeremy Whitman, is this how a husband should behave? Don’t you know that your wife is…”
Madeline was scared that Ava would tell favonovel.com about the tumor, so favonovel.com snatched back the phone. “I’ll go over right now!” After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com hung up the phone. She did not dare waste another second.
Ava was resentful toward Madeline for failing to meet favonovel.com expectations. However, favonovel.com had no choice. Before favonovel.com sent Madeline into the cab, Ava reminded Madeline very sternly to take care of herself. Madeline nodded in agreement.
When Madeline arrived at Whitman Manor, the party had already started. A lot of nicely-dressed socialites and wealthy women could be seen chatting in the garden. Since Madeline had come straight from the hospital, favonovel.com was wearing a casual, grey outfit. She looked like favonovel.com was from another world.
Thus, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head. Just as favonovel.com was about to look for Jeremy, a woman turned around and bumped into her. The wine splashed out from the woman’s glass as favonovel.com was passing by.
“My dress!” The woman exclaimed. She glared at Madeline angrily. “Can’t you watch where you’re going? Are you blind? How can the Whitmans have such an insensible maid like you?”
