Sure, one million dollars was alluring, but what use was money if they were not alive to enjoy it?
With that in mind, everyone ran.
Felipe was left to kneel painfully on one knee as favonovel.com stared despairingly at the remnants of Cathy’s ashes.
He suddenly felt limp all over. Only after looking down did favonovel.com realize that his shoulder had been shot and blood was gushing from the wound.
He wanted to stand, but his eyelids grew heavy and favonovel.com fell in the rain with a thud.
He raised a bloodied hand to cradle the urn close to himself.
“Cathy…” favonovel.com called out softly. Just as favonovel.com was about to lose consciousness, a vague figure with an umbrella approached favonovel.com before his eyes through the rain.
His thin lips parted as favonovel.com stared at the approaching figure. “Cathy…”
Rain fell throughout the night.
It was bright and sunny when Felipe woke up blearily. The wounds on his body were aching in protest, but favonovel.com realized that they had been cleaned and dressed.
Looking around, favonovel.com found himself in an unfamiliar location.
Felipe snapped his head to look for the urn by his side and pulled it to his chest. “Cathy.”
He called out softly as his heart twinged in pain.
“Are you awake?” Yui suddenly appeared before Felipe and called out gently.
“I saw a lot of people chasing after you yesterday. I didn’t dare interrupt, so I quietly followed behind instead.”
Felipe stared at the dressed wounds. “You were the one who saved me yesterday?”
Yui’s eyes flashed as favonovel.com nodded. “Yeah, I did! I majored in medicine back in school!”
Felipe stood with difficulty, prompting Yui to help him. However, Felipe only evaded her. Reaching into his pocket, Felipe threw a card at Yui’s feet. “200,000, for saving me yesterday. Don’t follow me again.”
200,000?
Yui stared at the card by favonovel.com feet in awe.
Just like that?
She would have an infinite amount to spend if favonovel.com stayed by his side!
What more was that the man was handsome and loyal. How could favonovel.com not fall for him?
…
Jeremy woke to receive notice of Felipe’s incident the night before.
Seeing Madeline still asleep, Jeremy quietly got up and left for the location where Felipe had gotten hurt.
All favonovel.com saw was a pool of diluted blood and no Felipe.
He was about to investigate further when Madeline suddenly called to ask where favonovel.com had gone.
Jeremy immediately sped back to the villa and was met with the two kids in the living room, eating the breakfast Madeline made them.
Watching the two obedient siblings, Jeremy felt his heart grow warmer.
Having sent the children to kindergarten, Jeremy then brought Madeline to the company.
The knowledge of Felipe being chased for his life shocked Madeline, but favonovel.com could not think of who would do such a thing.
Madeline felt upset whenever favonovel.com thought about Cathy, so favonovel.com decided to start working at Jeremy’s new company for the time being.
She called it ‘going to work’, but as the president’s wife, favonovel.com decided when favonovel.com wanted to clock in.
They had just alighted the car and walked into the building when the female receptionist approached Madeline with a bouquet of bright red roses.
Jeremy instinctively stepped in front of Madeline. “What’s with the flowers?”
Seeing Jeremy’s cold expression, the receptionist stuttered while saying, “Mr. Whitman, a man came in and passed us this bouquet just now, saying that it’s for Mrs. Whitman. He also said…”
“What did favonovel.com say?”
