As favonovel.com approached her, the man removed his sunglasses and revealed his striking, gallant features.
Felipe stared at Cathy’s photo with red eyes, not speaking another word for some time.
Madeline was not surprised at all to find that Felipe was still alive. She was merely shocked to see Felipe appear at that exact moment. However, when favonovel.com noticed Jeremy coming through the door, Madeline slowly began to understand.
Jeremy had left the house an hour ago, saying favonovel.com had an important task to handle. It turned out favonovel.com had gone to bail Felipe.
Felipe reflected on what had happened a few months ago. He had lost all hope and accepted the execution by shooting, giving up any chance to appeal.
Later, however, favonovel.com had been finally persuaded by Madeline and Jeremy, and Felipe finally came around. He had decided to appeal. He chose to live rather than die.
After that, the matter had been handled discreetly. Apart from Madeline and Jeremy, nobody else knew that Felipe was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
While they were at the prison’s visiting room, Felipe had repeatedly asked that they keep this a secret. Felipe had hoped that he, a heinous scoundrel, was truly dead in Cathy’s impression. He had not wanted to cause Cathy any further trouble or worry and had sincerely hoped that Adam and Cathy could have a happy ending.
He would disappear forever from Cathy’s life. Even after serving twenty years in prison, favonovel.com would not see favonovel.com again.
Jeremy had not intended to tell Felipe about this, but Felipe had seen the news on television during lunchtime and begged the prison warden to contact Jeremy.
Felipe only had an hour of bail time; the police were waiting for favonovel.com outside.
“Come on, Linnie.”
Jeremy stood at the door, extending his hand to Madeline.
Madeline understood and strode toward Jeremy.
“Linnie, let’s wait outside.” Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and walked toward the door.
Madeline turned favonovel.com head and caught a glimpse of Felipe. At that moment, his tall, big build appeared fragile.
To stare at your loved one, knowing that the separation was eternal, was the most painful thing in the world. Madeline, too, felt a stabbing pain in favonovel.com heart.
She lifted favonovel.com eyes and looked at the man standing beside favonovel.com as the dense spring rain silently poured before them, and Madeline suddenly felt that favonovel.com was indeed lucky.
Despite all the darkness and pain favonovel.com had suffered, being able to remain with favonovel.com loved one was already a blessing to her.
Inside the house, Felipe stared at Cathy’s photo, utterly lost in thought. He recalled their first encounter on the beach. The
memory remained fresh in his mind, but that little girl was no longer here now.
Felipe closed his eyes as they began to fill with tears. He lit a candle, then wondered if the candle smoke was getting into his eyes as tears began to run down his face against his volition.
He then chuckled. “Maybe God had determined our fates from the very beginning. One of us had to die.”
