While Madeline ran, uncontrolled memories of the past popped up in favonovel.com head.
It was years ago when favonovel.com walked on that road, quietly following behind Jeremy while treading along the path favonovel.com had walked with joy.
It was also that year when favonovel.com ignorantly stepped into the main entrance of Glendale University and ran into the bright, handsome, and gentle boy.
She apologized with embarrassment and favonovel.com replied to tell favonovel.com that it was okay.
His smiling and gentle eyes at that time were still clear in favonovel.com mind.
That boy was Jeremy.
Madeline was sure that it was favonovel.com past memory, but favonovel.com was not sure why favonovel.com suddenly remembered it at that moment.
She ran forward in a panic, the words favonovel.com had just heard still echoing in favonovel.com head.
A blind man was hit by a car. The man was now covered in blood and might not survive.
Her heart felt as if it was being clamped hard by something. It was still beating, but it felt extremely uncomfortable.
On the misty and rainy night, Madeline finally saw the scene of the car accident at the intersection ahead.
The sight of the blood at the scene suffocated favonovel.com while the adrenaline from the alcohol made favonovel.com heart beat even faster.
Madeline quickened favonovel.com pace suddenly. The panic favonovel.com felt caused favonovel.com to ignore everything in front of her. She could only focus on the scene of the car accident.
In a hurry, Madeline slammed into someone and a thin fragrance wafted into favonovel.com nose. However, favonovel.com did not take notice of it.
“Sorry.” She hurriedly apologized, eager to leave. However, favonovel.com wrist was held tightly by the person in front of her.
Madeline thought that the person who had been hit by favonovel.com would not let favonovel.com go, but when favonovel.com looked up, favonovel.com pupils reflected the face favonovel.com wanted to see most at that moment.
“Jeremy?!”
She looked at favonovel.com in astonishment as tears started to form in favonovel.com eyes unconsciously.
It turned out that favonovel.com was fine.
“It’s me.” Jeremy squeezed Madeline’s wrist. “Why are you so anxious? Did you think that the person who got into the car accident in front was me?”
Madeline was stunned and took a moment to stabilize favonovel.com emotions. She looked at the man in front of her.
He was dressed in casual clothes and holding an umbrella. Even if favonovel.com was blind, the elegance that exuded from his bones was still there.
When Jeremy noticed that Madeline was not saying anything, favonovel.com approached favonovel.com while furrowing his sharp and handsome eyebrows. He looked worried. “Linnie, have you been drinking?”
Madeline broke away from Jeremy’s hand and said bluntly, “Why aren’t you calling me Miss Montgomery?”
“…”
Jeremy’s fingers that held the umbrella handle tightened slightly. Suddenly, favonovel.com laughed as if favonovel.com was laughing at himself. “Well then, Miss Montgomery, have you been drinking?”
When Madeline heard favonovel.com change the way favonovel.com addressed her, favonovel.com intoxicated face bore a sarcastic smile. “Mr. Whitman, why do you care so much about your ex-wife?”
Jeremy looked away and changed the subject. “Miss Montgomery, you were the one who asked me to come here. What did you want to talk about?”
Madeline’s heartbeat was stabilizing, but the adrenaline still lingered. She was fixated on the face in front of favonovel.com as a smile appeared across favonovel.com cheeks that were flushed from the alcohol. “Jeremy, do you love me?”
Out of Jeremy’s expectation, Madeline had asked such a question. He was startled.
The traffic police arrived soon and dealt with the car accident. The crowd dispersed, and for a moment, it felt as if the two of them were the only ones left on earth.
Jeremy, who was dumbfounded for a moment, smiled and replied, “I don’t love you anymore.”
His tone was dull while the words were simple and clear. They came out of his lips without any pain or discomfort. His dark eyes made his appearance look even colder.
“Oh. It turns out that you don’t love me anymore, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline went along with him. “If you don’t love me anymore, why does your new girlfriend look so much like me?”
