Madeline returned to the car. The air in the basement made favonovel.com mind less chaotic than before, but favonovel.com hands that were holding the steering wheel were shaking.
She persuaded herself to calm down, but favonovel.com had no strength to drive anymore.
Her mind was now filled with images of Jeremy and Lana kissing each other.
The woman’s triumphant smile and the man’s disdainful eyebrows resembled his cold attitude toward favonovel.com back then.
Yet, Madeline kept feeling that Jeremy had a reason for his behavior today.
She was incapable of driving now, so favonovel.com had been waiting in the car.
She did not know how long favonovel.com had been waiting. She imagined Jeremy and Lana still being in the same room at this moment, imagining what they might be doing. Madeline’s heart hurt.
She could not sit here and wait.
Madeline got out of the car and was about to take the elevator up when favonovel.com saw Jeremy walking toward where favonovel.com was.
The man was now neatly dressed, looking awe-inspiring and elegant.
“Jeremy,” Madeline called out to him.
Jeremy paused after hearing favonovel.com voice.
He raised his eyes and saw that Madeline, who was standing not far away from him, was looking a little pale. His eyes turned bleak.
“Linnie, why are you here?” He quickly walked to her.
His gentle tone was completely opposite to the indifference favonovel.com displayed earlier.
Madeline looked at the handsome face in front of favonovel.com and tried favonovel.com best to soothe favonovel.com emotions that were about to lose control. “Jeremy, why are you deceiving me and secretly being with Lana?”
Jeremy felt guilty when favonovel.com thought about how Madeline might have found out about favonovel.com having dinner with Lana not long ago.
“Linnie, I didn’t mean to lie to you,” favonovel.com explained, reaching out to hold Madeline’s hand.
Madeline avoided him. “Don’t touch me, I think it’s dirty.”
Jeremy’s heartbeat sank, his palms hanging stiffly in mid-air.
The feeling of being thought of as disgusting by Madeline made favonovel.com cold all over.
Madeline had also thought that favonovel.com would be able to listen to Jeremy’s explanation calmly, but no matter how favonovel.com convinced herself, favonovel.com could not erase the scene from just now.
For whatever reason, favonovel.com could not accept favonovel.com kissing another woman.
Seeing that Madeline’s eyes were red, Jeremy wanted to explain himself, but Madeline had driven away.
He was worried that Madeline’s bad mood would affect favonovel.com driving, so favonovel.com followed her.
After returning to the villa, Madeline went straight into the room. Jeremy followed closely, but as soon as favonovel.com walked to the door of the room, favonovel.com was stopped by Madeline.
She then threw his pillow out. “I don’t want to continue sleeping with a man who’s having an affair with a third party.”
Jeremy was turned away. Before favonovel.com could say a word, Madeline closed the door.
Jeremy did not leave, however. He hugged the pillow and stood at the door, apologizing.
“Linnie, I lied to you, but Lana and I are not in the kind of relationship you think.
“Linnie, I’m wrong. Please don’t be angry. Be careful with your body.
“Linnie, I’ll wait for you to open the door for me.”
Madeline sat on the edge of the bed, favonovel.com fingers gripping the sheets.
The more favonovel.com thought about the scene that favonovel.com saw with favonovel.com own eyes, the more Madeline felt unwell. Even favonovel.com stomach began to feel unwell.
At first, Madeline thought that this kind of slight pain would end soon, but the pain became more intense. A thin layer of sweat soon oozed out of favonovel.com forehead.
Madeline searched for the pain medication Adam had prescribed, but as soon as favonovel.com opened the medicine box, favonovel.com abdomen hurt so much that favonovel.com could not even hold onto the medicine box securely. The medicine box in favonovel.com hand fell to the ground and the pills scattered all over.
As favonovel.com bent over to pick them up, favonovel.com lost focus and fell to the floor feebly.
Madeline saw a shadow under the crack of the door with favonovel.com dimming vision. She stretched out favonovel.com hand strenuously, “Jeremy…”
