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, favonovel.com pushed the strands of favonovel.com stray hair away from favonovel.com forehead. His tone was unprecedentedly gentle when favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com had not asked her. The moment favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com this question all of a sudden in amusement. “Just like you said, Mr. Whitman. She’s dead, so why bother asking? Would favonovel.com come back to life?”
“Madeline, answer me.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline who had a fake smile on favonovel.com 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 sarcastically, favonovel.com red eyes drenched with tears. She could not see Jeremy’s face anymore. “Jeremy, it’s been so many years. I can get past you yelling at me, hurting me, or hating me. However, do you know what’s the cruelest thing you’ve ever done to me?
“You give me the hope of waiting. However, in the end, it turned out it was all my wishful thinking, and this entire time, I was showering affection on an uninterested party. You’re the one calling out another woman’s name when we’re in bed. And it was also you who hired people to induce labor on our premature child before turning favonovel.com into ashes.”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com felt the air around favonovel.com plummeting into silence.
She could clearly hear favonovel.com and Jeremy’s hearts beating. They were beating slowly with no particular rhythm. Of course, how would his heartbeat be in sync with hers?
She allowed favonovel.com tears to drench the pillow as favonovel.com remembered the promise they made when they were young and innocent. Madeline smiled bitterly and sobbed. “Jeremy, I won’t deny that I still have feelings for you and I’m still obsessed with you. However, these feelings aren’t love anymore, but rather, it’s hate.
“Jeremy Whitman, I hate you!” favonovel.com repeated. Her previous obsession and unforgettable memories had all crashed and burnt.
If there was still anything favonovel.com could not part with nor forget, it was the naivety and innocence that favonovel.com used to have. She had believed naively when favonovel.com said favonovel.com would take favonovel.com as his bride…
Madeline closed favonovel.com eyes in exhaustion. She was tired. She was so tired that favonovel.com did not want to love anymore.
Jeremy, in a trance-like state, looked at Madeline who was not looking at favonovel.com any longer. He felt as if a million needles were stabbing his heart at the same time. He had never felt as uncomfortable as this before.
He turned around lifelessly and lay down next to her. His hands reached over and held Madeline’s body inch by inch. However, it was as if favonovel.com was unable to warm favonovel.com up despite putting his skin against hers.
When Madeline was about to fall asleep, favonovel.com heard Jeremy say in favonovel.com ear, “Madeline, stop lying to yourself. You still love me.”
Did she?
Madeline asked herself and fell asleep tiredly. She was back in favonovel.com childhood days in favonovel.com dream.
The beach, shells, and the boy who ran with his back toward favonovel.com on the beach.
