Madeline’s head felt muddled under the influence of the drug. She vaguely thought favonovel.com had heard a voice by favonovel.com ear, calling favonovel.com Madeline and telling favonovel.com that it was going to be alright.
Madeline struggled to open favonovel.com eyes just so favonovel.com could see who it was, but favonovel.com eyelids seemed to grow heavier by the second. Instinctively, favonovel.com curled toward the man who refused to let favonovel.com go. Perhaps because favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a sense of security.
This might have been the first time Madeline felt what it meant to be protected.
All favonovel.com had been subjected to these past few years were nothing less of torture. Every time favonovel.com wished someone would help favonovel.com up, all favonovel.com received was more pain.
It had gotten to the point where favonovel.com had given up on hoping because favonovel.com heart was tired from all the disappointment.
Right now, favonovel.com finally understood what it felt like to have someone supporting favonovel.com back and it was very warm…
Jeremy felt the person in his arms lean deeper into his embrace, favonovel.com hands slowly sliding up to rest around his neck to hold herself in place.
Jeremy’s thoughts snapped back to reality. Lowering his gaze to stare at the woman in his arms, Jeremy could not help but be reminded of Madeline Crawford who favonovel.com had lost long ago.
“How are you feeling, Vera?” favonovel.com asked. Despite knowing very well that favonovel.com was not Madeline, favonovel.com appearance had Jeremy finding it impossible not to care about her.
Madeline’s brows furrowed “Dizzy…”
“I’m bringing you to the hospital now!” Jeremy immediately carried favonovel.com to the car.
“Jeremy!”
He was surprised to hear Meredith’s voice come from the factory behind.
Jeremy halted and turned around in confusion only to be met with the sight of Meredith kneeling on the floor with tears streaming freely down favonovel.com face. Her clothes were a mess as favonovel.com pointed favonovel.com finger at the thugs favonovel.com had dealt with. “Jeremy! These men forced themselves on me! You have to stand up for me, Jeremy! It hurts, I don’t want to live anymore!”
Chupse.
Jeremy felt the thread of his sanity snap as favonovel.com furrowed his sharp brows.
His memory provided favonovel.com an image of the pure and innocent Linnie from his youth.
Regardless of how certain Jeremy was that favonovel.com had never once loved Meredith in all their years together, his heart still refused to believe that she, as memory served, was anything but pure and innocent—untainted.
How could such a thing occur now?
After receiving a report, the police arrived in no time.
The four thugs were apprehended while Madeline and Meredith were both admitted into the hospital.
Both Sean and Eloise rushed to the hospital when they got wind that something had happened to Meredith. Eloise sobbed into Sean’s arms when favonovel.com was told that Meredith had been taken advantage of by four different men.
“How could this happen? Wasn’t Meredith supposed to be resting in the hospital? How could favonovel.com suddenly… Sean! Why must our daughter suffer such a harsh fate?”
“It’s all my fault. I should’ve kept a better eye on Meredith.” Rose blamed herself while favonovel.com mused internally, ‘What on earth had happened?
‘Didn’t Meredith go to record a video of Vera getting taken advantage of? How did favonovel.com end up being the victim?’
“Where’s Jeremy? Why isn’t favonovel.com here looking after Meredith?” Eloise huffed as favonovel.com looked around the hospital room.
“I heard that Vera Quinn also got admitted. Jeremy must’ve gone to see her.” Rose sighed sadly and wiped off favonovel.com tears as if favonovel.com was extremely sad. She pressed on, adding oil to the fuel by saying, “Meredith’s here suffering yet Jeremy has gone to see that witch!”
“This is absurd!” Eloise exclaimed, immediately turning around to ask the nurse which room Madeline was resting in…
Within the quiet hospital ward stood Jeremy as favonovel.com watched impassively as Madeline slumbered off.
He felt his heart clench at the raw memory of favonovel.com almost being taken advantage of mere moments ago.
Taking a tentative step toward Madeline, favonovel.com slowly reached out his hand.
His warm fingertips fell on favonovel.com brows on their own accord. She looked exactly like her, from the curve of favonovel.com eye to the delicate bridge of favonovel.com nose to favonovel.com cherry pink lips. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Still, this was not the woman on his marriage certificate.
