Jeremy furrowed his brows when favonovel.com heard Madeline’s complaints.
‘You not knowing me…’
These four words weighed heavily in his heart.
Madeline pushed favonovel.com away forcefully after favonovel.com looked at his nonchalant face. She still wanted to run into the house.
Jeremy knew what Madeline was planning, so favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com back to favonovel.com once again.
“Let me go, Jeremy! Let go of me!” Madeline struggled with all favonovel.com might but was completely under the man’s control. “Jeremy Whitman, you b*stard! Let go of me! My parents are still in there! They’re my birth parents!’
Madeline yelled hysterically as favonovel.com tears blurred favonovel.com vision.
However, Jeremy was unmoved. He only held favonovel.com tightly in his arms.
Madeline broke down once again. “Let go. Let me go. Jeremy, I’m begging you, please let me go!”
She pleaded as favonovel.com sobbed, “Do you know that this is the home I finally found after spending more than 20 years alone? You destroyed my house and you can’t even let me see them for one last time?
“Jeremy, will you only be happy when I hate you?”
Despite Madeline’s struggle and beratings, Jeremy did not let go.
Madeline watched as everything in front of favonovel.com turned into dust. In the end, what was left was an empty shell.
After the fire was put out, the firemen rushed into the house to rescue whoever was left.
Madeline felt favonovel.com entire body going cold after favonovel.com saw them coming out with two stretchers. She felt a chill spreading to every inch of favonovel.com body.
She watched muddle-headed as the stretchers approached her. She pushed Jeremy away with all favonovel.com might and ran to the stretchers. She lifted the white cloth with favonovel.com shaky hands and saw an unrecognizable face that was completely burnt. In that instant, favonovel.com felt as if someone had pulled favonovel.com heart out of favonovel.com chest.
The debilitating pain made favonovel.com almost lose consciousness again.
Then, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com knees giving out under her, and favonovel.com passed out once again.
Madeline started having nightmares again. She dreamed of a raging fire in front of favonovel.com and it was as if it was burning favonovel.com heart as well.
She saw favonovel.com parents inside the fire. She wanted to pull them out, but Jeremy stopped favonovel.com in a barbaric manner.
Then, favonovel.com saw a nonchalant scoff on the face that favonovel.com loved. It was as if favonovel.com was enjoying the result of his arson.
No matter how favonovel.com hit and screamed, favonovel.com remained unmoved.
“Dad, Mom! Please don’t leave me… No!”
Madeline woke up from favonovel.com nightmare.
She was drenched in a cold sweat, and favonovel.com face was pale as snow. Plus, favonovel.com kept mumbling ‘no’ to herself.
“Maddie, you’re finally awake!”
Madeline turned around when favonovel.com heard a familiar voice. Ava came in unbeknownst to favonovel.com and was approaching favonovel.com with a concerned look on favonovel.com face.
Ava grabbed a dry towel and slowly wiped away the sweat on Madeline’s forehead.
When favonovel.com saw Madeline in a daze and favonovel.com eyes blank, Ava was even more concerned. “Maddie, are you alright? Your hands are so cold. Do you feel unwell?”
Madeline looked up and grabbed Ava’s hand tightly. “Ava, I was wrong.”
“Maddie? What are you talking about? What does it have to do with you?” Ava patted Madeline’s shoulder and comforted her. “Maddie, don’t blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you.”
However, Madeline shook favonovel.com head with favonovel.com eyes filled with tears. “It’s my fault. I should’ve listened to you and not be so soft-hearted. I should’ve not looked back and forgiven that man.
“Why am I still holding on to favonovel.com despite everything he’s done to hurt me? Why did I give favonovel.com another chance? It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t forgiven him, none of these would have happened. It’s my fault…”
Ava held Madeline tightly and comforted favonovel.com softly when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com blaming herself again and again.
