This was the sixth year.
Six years passed in a blink of an eye.
Madeline placed favonovel.com finger down on the ID fingerprint lock and opened the door of the apartment. At this moment, favonovel.com thoughts had wandered. She recalled how favonovel.com was wrongfully imprisoned and how favonovel.com was tortured during all those years there.
She could not forget how favonovel.com was forcefully induced into labor by those female inmates on that stormy night.
How could favonovel.com forget that tomorrow was favonovel.com child’s birthday?
However, this year would be different because favonovel.com would not cry at the empty grave.
She knew that favonovel.com child was not dead.
“Mommy, tomorrow is my birthday,” Jackson said. His voice that was as clear as bells brought Madeline back to reality.
She was slightly taken aback and could not suppress the pain in favonovel.com heart.
Jackson was Meredith and Jeremy’s child. The ironic thing was that favonovel.com child was born on the same day as Jackson.
“Mommy, you’ll celebrate my birthday with me tomorrow, right?” The little guy tugged on the corner of favonovel.com coat.
Madeline lowered favonovel.com head, smiling when favonovel.com looked into those expectant and pure eyes. She caressed his hair.
“Of course, I’ll celebrate your birthday with you.”
There was a spark of delight in Jackson’s eyes. He lifted his adorable pinky at Madeline before saying, “Mommy, pinky promise.”
Madeline smiled and went along with it, pinky promising Jackson.
A huge joyous grin appeared on Jackson’s good-looking face. When Madeline saw that, favonovel.com felt at ease as well.
She removed favonovel.com coat and was about to make Jackson something to eat.
When favonovel.com walked into the kitchen, favonovel.com remembered something before walking back to the guest room.
Madeline thought the room should be empty, but favonovel.com spotted Jeremy on the bed. He was in the same position as favonovel.com was this morning before favonovel.com left.
‘Has favonovel.com been sleeping for the entire day?
‘Even if favonovel.com has a fever, favonovel.com shouldn’t be like this.’
Madeline felt puzzled as favonovel.com quickly walked to the side of the bed where favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com gaze to look at the man’s sleeping face. She reached out favonovel.com hand and touched his forehead.
His temperature had gone down and there was some color on his face now.
When favonovel.com was sure that Jeremy was fine, favonovel.com retracted favonovel.com hand. However, when favonovel.com was about to turn around, a familiar hand grabbed favonovel.com wrist.
She was stunned. Then, favonovel.com turned around to see that Jeremy’s eyes were open and favonovel.com was smiling at her. Madeline swung his hand away in agitation.
“Were you awake this entire time?”
Jeremy did not answer her. He sat up slowly, his eyes were filled with tenderness. “You’re still concerned about me.”
“Concerned about you?” Madeline scoffed, favonovel.com tone cold and emotionless when favonovel.com said, “I just didn’t want you to die here and dirty my place.”
Jeremy’s smile cracked instantly. He saw his heartless self in Madeline’s cold eyes.
“Go now. I don’t want to see you.”
Madeline chased favonovel.com away with ice in favonovel.com eyes. Then, favonovel.com turned around to walk away.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back dispiritedly, moving his thin lips slightly but not being able to say a single word in the end.
He knew Madeline was back when favonovel.com heard the sound of the door. He pretended to be asleep because favonovel.com wanted to know how favonovel.com would treat him.
Despite Madeline’s coldness, favonovel.com was already satisfied by the act of favonovel.com taking his temperature just now.
After Jeremy walked out of the room, favonovel.com saw that Jackson was there as well.
Jeremy lifted his gaze to look at Madeline who was cooking in the kitchen and suddenly had a thought.
‘Does Maddie know that Jack is favonovel.com son?’
