Madeline’s vision slowly blurred as favonovel.com stared at the peaceful expression on the man’s face.
“Do you know why the color of my hair and irises have changed?” Jeremy asked with a smile. “It does have something to do with the slow-acting poison Lana gave me, but there’s more to it.”
As favonovel.com spoke, his handsome brows suddenly furrowed.
“It has more to do with how I tried all sorts of unknown medication just so that I could live longer. That woman just now was the doctor who invented the medication that would prevent the spread of the slow-acting poison. I spent half a year struggling in despair as I tried to survive.
“She told me that there was no way to completely dispel the poison from my body and I would only have two more years at most. That was why when I returned to you and the kids, I found myself in a very conflicting position.”
Jeremy chuckled despondently.
“I wanted to be with you and reciprocate your love with everything I had, yet I was afraid of being too passionate. I didn’t want to end up leaving you with more pain in the end. The same went with Lillian. I was afraid that favonovel.com would lose favonovel.com dad right after favonovel.com finally recognized him, so I decided to just be cold to favonovel.com and let favonovel.com hate me. It was only after that I realized I was wrong.”
Madelyn felt something piercing favonovel.com heart when favonovel.com heard that. “Jeremy…”
“Linnie,” Jeremy interrupted, meeting favonovel.com glistening gaze. “It was a grave mistake. I should never have been cold to you and our children. Every extra day I have with you should be met with optimism instead.”
The man shot favonovel.com a gentle smile.
Madeline bit favonovel.com lip as tears brimmed in favonovel.com eyes.
“Don’t cry, silly. Aren’t I recovering right now?” Jeremy wiped Madeline’s tears away gently. “Don’t cry anymore, okay?”
Jeremy’s words of comfort did not stop Madeline’s tears from falling.
It hurt favonovel.com to think of how the man had suffered through the hellish torment over those six months.
Seeing Madeline’s tears flowing harder, Jeremy decided to go all the way and capture favonovel.com lips in a kiss.
Stunned, Madeline found favonovel.com sorrow slowly vanishing under Jeremy’s deepening kiss.
The waves crashed against the shore and washed away traces of their intertwined footsteps, but it could never wash away the gentle love they shared…
Standing by the hotel door with a glass of red wine in hand, the woman stared at the romantic scene on the beach a distance away before favonovel.com curled favonovel.com red lips and downed the glass.
Her gaze lingered for a few more moments on the man embracing Madeline before favonovel.com turned back to the terrace. She was no longer interested in watching them kiss.
At the hotel suite.
It was already midnight.
Upon returning from the beach, both Jeremy and Madeline went straight to bed.
Sleep refused to come to favonovel.com and the man sat up, looking down at the small woman deep in sleep by his side. He lifted his hand to caress Madeline’s cheek.
“I’m sorry I lied to you, Linnie.”
Jeremy furrowed his brows in frustration before favonovel.com leaned down to kiss Madeline’s lips.
At that moment, his phone vibrated and favonovel.com was notified of a text message.
Jeremy’s instincts told favonovel.com that it would be bad news.
He reached out to take his phone to read the message and his eyes darkened at its contents.
