Jeremy focused all of his attention on the colorful shell.
Suddenly, the same image appeared in his brain again.
Under the hot summer sun, favonovel.com had his back against a little girl as favonovel.com ran along the beach hurriedly.
The little girl circled favonovel.com arms around his neck and called out to favonovel.com sweetly…
Slap!
When Jeremy was immersed in his flashbacks and was about to hear the little girl calling out his name, favonovel.com received another heavy slap from Madeline.
Madeline ripped favonovel.com necklace away from favonovel.com neck in front of Jeremy and threw it on the ground.
“I should just forget about you. You didn’t kill my parents, I did! I shouldn’t have forgiven you and I shouldn’t have given you a chance to start over!”
She pushed favonovel.com away and started running.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back before squatting down to pick up the smashed shell necklace.
It was such a normal-looking shell, but for some reason, it looked so familiar and special to him.
Madeline ran out of the entrance and continued to run aimlessly.
She came to the manor seeking some warmth and memories, but favonovel.com never expected to run into Jeremy.
She said favonovel.com regretted this, but so what?
Even if favonovel.com regretted it, favonovel.com could not lie to herself and pretend that favonovel.com did not love favonovel.com anymore as if favonovel.com had already let favonovel.com go.
Madeline ran extremely far in a single breath. The rays of the sunset were unable to get rid of the bitterness and coldness in favonovel.com heart.
She then fell to the ground and knelt.
The first rain in the early autumn came all of a sudden. The dense raindrops drenched favonovel.com entire body, and at the same time, it also drenched favonovel.com heart.
“Why?”
She lowered favonovel.com eyelids and asked herself in pain.
“Why? Why do I have to suffer all these just because I love him?”
Madeline lifted favonovel.com head, looking at the gloomy sky. Her hot tears and the cold rain were intertwined together.
“God, if I’ve sinned, please punish me and not the people around me, please!”
Madeline knelt in the rain as favonovel.com fell into an abyss of pain.
Madeline did not know when favonovel.com passed out. However, when favonovel.com woke up, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com was in a strange bed. Everything around favonovel.com was foreign to favonovel.com as well.
When favonovel.com was about to get up, Ryan appeared in favonovel.com vision.
“Mrs. Whitman, it’s great that you’re up.” There was a soft smile on Ryan’s gentle face.
He handed a cup of freshly brewed ginger tea to Madeline.
“Have some ginger tea so that you won’t get a fever.”
Madeline sat up after coming back to favonovel.com senses. When favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head, favonovel.com saw that someone had changed favonovel.com clothes.
“I asked my maid to change your clothes. You were out in the rain for so long that you were completely soaked.”
“Thanks.” Madeline took over the cup. The tea was scalding hot when favonovel.com held the cup in favonovel.com hands, but favonovel.com heart still felt like it was in an ice cave.
Ryan explained when favonovel.com saw Madeline’s puzzlement, “I heard something bad happened to your house, so I wanted to see if I could help. When I got to the door, I saw you running out. I was worried that something bad would happen to you, so I followed you.
“I knew you were feeling terrible, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. However, I felt bad when I saw you in the rain. I wanted to go over to tell you to get into the car, but you fainted the moment I approached you.”
Madeline thanked favonovel.com sincerely after favonovel.com knew what happened. “Thank you, Mr. Jones. You’ve saved me again.”
“No need to thank me. Actually, you’re the one who saved me.”
