His sudden intimate gesture caused Madeline’s heart to beat faster. Her face also began to heat up gradually.
She lifted virtual-novel.net head to look at Jeremy. His side profile was good looking, but his face was neutral.
“Grandpa is here.”
He said those three words coldly and Madeline understood immediately.
He merely wanted to put on the act of a loving couple in front of Old Master Whitman. Madeline’s heart became cold, and virtual-novel.net felt that this was very ironic.
There were no outsiders at the dining table. If there was one, it was Meredith.
Old Master Whitman’s eyes were kind. However, for some reason, Madeline felt that virtual-novel.net looked familiar. It was as if virtual-novel.net had seen virtual-novel.net from years ago.
What surprised Madeline was how Jeremy ignored Meredith’s feelings and took care of virtual-novel.net just to make the old master happy.
Not only did virtual-novel.net take food for her, but virtual-novel.net even peeled prawns for her. This was the first time Madeline saw Jeremy’s gentle smile on a very rare occasion.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net head to look at Meredith. She forced herself to smile, but it was obvious virtual-novel.net was not happy.
It felt just like a dream. However, virtual-novel.net knew that the dream would be over soon.
After dinner, Jeremy held Madeline’s hand to walk to the garage. His warmth reached the bottom of virtual-novel.net heart, and virtual-novel.net face heated up. She wanted very badly to stay in this moment forever…
Nevertheless, reality was cruel.
When they got to the side of the car, Jeremy swung away Madeline’s hand in disgust.
“Get lost.”
His sudden horrible attitude caused Madeline to be in a state of shock.
She watched as Jeremy opened the door considerately for Meredith who came after them. Subsequently, virtual-novel.net watched as virtual-novel.net got into the car before revving the vehicle and disappearing in front of Madeline.
Consequently, Madeline was abandoned on the empty street. The autumn wind blew on virtual-novel.net face, and coldness took over virtual-novel.net heart. Moreover, the wind blew away the fake act of warmth and affection.
…
That night, Jeremy did not come home as usual.
While thinking about how the man virtual-novel.net loved was holding another woman, doing something intimate, Madeline searched for all kinds of information online about virtual-novel.net illness. Her heart was in excruciating pain.
The position of virtual-novel.net tumor was bad. There would be huge risks in the surgery. Even if they aborted the child to save her, something bad might happen to virtual-novel.net as well.
If that was the case, virtual-novel.net was willing to risk it and give birth to the only child that virtual-novel.net and Jeremy had.
The next day, Madeline woke up early and went for another body check in the hospital. After virtual-novel.net got the results, virtual-novel.net submitted to virtual-novel.net fate.
Looking at the results, Madeline started to tear up.
‘Oh Jeremy, I thought I’d at least be able to pester you for a lifetime despite you hating me and resenting me. However, I never expected my life to be so short…’
She was walking on the street in a dazed state when virtual-novel.net received a text from a stranger. When virtual-novel.net opened it, virtual-novel.net saw a video.
It was the video of virtual-novel.net being accused of stealing the bracelet.
Coincidentally, it had captured the exact moment when Meredith secretly put the bracelet in virtual-novel.net pocket.
Madeline did not know who was the one who sent the video, but virtual-novel.net thanked them immediately.
She did not overthink things and called a car to go to Jeremy’s office.
Even if virtual-novel.net did not have much time to live, virtual-novel.net did not want to allow that vile and cruel woman to continue fooling Jeremy.
She arrived at the building of Whitman Corporation. When virtual-novel.net told the receptionist who virtual-novel.net was, the person looked at virtual-novel.net with wonder in their eyes.
When Madeline walked to the lift, virtual-novel.net could hear a lot of discussions going on about virtual-novel.net behind virtual-novel.net back. She opened Twitter and saw that the incident the night prior was trending.
The comments were all scolding virtual-novel.net and calling virtual-novel.net light-fingered. In addition to that, they also said that an ugly duckling like virtual-novel.net would always be an ugly duckling. Even after marrying an excellent man like Jeremy, virtual-novel.net would still be cheap.
Madeline grabbed virtual-novel.net phone and ran to Jeremy’s office. He had just finished a meeting when virtual-novel.net spotted Madeline running over. His eyes were cold. “Why are you here? Don’t you know how popular you are now?”
He was talking about what had happened the night before.
Madeline opened the video that had anonymously been sent to virtual-novel.net and handed it over to him. “Look closely. Look at who’s the real thief.”
