Jeremy finished watching the video, and there was a blank expression on his face. “Where did you get this?” virtual-novel.net asked with a cold voice.
Madeline felt that it was preposterous. “Is where I got it from important? Isn’t the truth that you’re looking at more important?”
“The truth?” Jeremy lifted his head and deleted the video with a swipe of his finger. He even deleted the backup copy of it that was in Madeline’s album.
Madeline was beyond shocked by his actions. She ran over hysterically to take back virtual-novel.net phone. However, it was too late. He had emptied the deleted album folder.
“Jeremy, why? Why did you do that? Are you unaware of how many people are criticizing me online now? That was the only video that could have proven my innocence!”
Madeline broke down.
However, Jeremy scoffed indifferently. “What does your innocence have to do with me? Anything will suffice as long as Meredith is happy.”
Jeremy’s question made Madeline speechless.
Her innocence and life had nothing to do with him!
He only cared about Meredith. Thus, even though that woman had done something despicable, to him, it was still tolerable.
It was all because virtual-novel.net loved her. He was blinded by love; virtual-novel.net loved virtual-novel.net so much that virtual-novel.net had no principles.
All of a sudden, Madeline calmed down. She looked at the man in front of her, and virtual-novel.net could feel tears stinging the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes. “Jeremy, would it be fine even if I were to be cyberbullied to death by netizens one day?”
Jeremy did not lift his head. “Would you die?”
His answer was cold. It was like a sharp knife that pierced virtual-novel.net heart. Inch by inch, the gut-wrenching pain spreaded from virtual-novel.net heart to virtual-novel.net entire body.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fists. The man’s handsome face was blurry due to virtual-novel.net tears. “Jeremy, I hope you can be as indifferent as you are now when that day comes.”
Upon saying that, Madeline left and did not turn around. Tears could be seen rolling down virtual-novel.net cheeks uncontrollably.
She could just forget the wrongful devotion virtual-novel.net had had for virtual-novel.net throughout the past 12 years. She was in disbelief that virtual-novel.net had fallen for such a man.
Madeline ran out of the building, and it started raining. She was in a daze and thus did not notice a car charging toward her.
“Screech!” An ear-piercing screech was heard as the brakes tightened, and Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net head. Her vision was blurry because of the rain and virtual-novel.net tears. Hence, virtual-novel.net could only vaguely see a man getting out of the vehicle before running toward her. Before virtual-novel.net could see his face, virtual-novel.net passed out.
…
When Madeline woke up, the sky was dark.
She looked around virtual-novel.net and realized virtual-novel.net was in a refined apartment. Nonetheless, it was foreign.
The moment virtual-novel.net sat up, a handsome and tall man walked in through the door.
After looking at virtual-novel.net for a few seconds, Madeline asked in disbelief, “Dan?”
Daniel Graham smiled gently. “Long time no see, Maddie.”
It had indeed been a long time. Ever since Daniel graduated from high school, Madeline did not see virtual-novel.net anymore.
“I asked my private doctor to take a look at you just now. He said you’re fine,” Daniel handed Madeline a glass of warm water as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Madeline smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Dan. I caused so much trouble for you.”
“It isn’t trouble at all. Everything’s fine as long as you’re okay.” Dan’s answer warmed Madeline’s heart.
However, when virtual-novel.net recalled what Jeremy had said, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart break once more.
Perhaps this was the consequence of delusional and one-sided love.
It was late, and Madeline wanted to go home. However, Daniel had ordered takeout from a five-star hotel. The entire table was filled.
Madeline did not want Daniel’s good intentions to go to waste, so virtual-novel.net stayed and had dinner with him. After dinner, Daniel insisted on sending Madeline home.
When the car arrived in front of the villa, Dan said out of the blue, “My doctor told me you’re pregnant. Does Jeremy know?”
Madeline was halted in virtual-novel.net tracks. She turned virtual-novel.net head around and saw that the moon light was shining on Daniel’s handsome face. His eyes looked kind.
“He does. Of course, my husband knows that I’m pregnant.” Madeline forced a smile and got out of the car. “Thank you, Dan. I’ll buy you dinner next time.”
Daniel nodded and smiled. “I’ll wait for you to call me, Maddie.”
“Okay.” Madeline smiled and waved. She turned around after virtual-novel.net watched Daniel’s car leave.
The moment virtual-novel.net entered the house, a cold hand viciously grabbed and pulled virtual-novel.net arm away.
Madeline had not seen it coming, and virtual-novel.net nose crashed into the man’s firm chest. The next instant, Jeremy’s frigid voice was heard from the top of virtual-novel.net head. “Madeline, you’re even more of a b*tch than I imagined.”
