Madeline was surprised by Jeremy’s attitude. However, virtual-novel.net did not try to flatter virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net used to. She calmly asked, “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Whitman?”
Jeremy was unhappy with how Madeline was addressing virtual-novel.net that way. “What did you call me?”
“Is there any difference? You never pay attention to me anyway, Mr. Whiteman.”
Jeremy frowned. After a few moments of silence, virtual-novel.net said, “Mer’s stomach is getting bigger and bigger. I want to give virtual-novel.net status.”
Even though Madeline knew Jeremy would force virtual-novel.net to divorce virtual-novel.net one day, it still felt like a bolt from the blue now that it was happening.
Madeline looked at the frigid man in front of her. She laughed in self-mockery. “What about me?”
She asked. All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net and the baby in virtual-novel.net stomach were the biggest jokes in the world.
Jeremy’s intense and piercing gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “If you remain obedient, we can stay this way.”
Madeline burst out laughing after being dazed. “Mr. Whitman, are you saying that you want your legally wedded wife to become your mistress? You want that shameless mistress to be in my position, is that it?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Jeremy’s face turned so dark that it looked horrifying.
Madeline felt a pang of pain in virtual-novel.net heart. She bit virtual-novel.net lip and clenched virtual-novel.net fists. “Jeremy, unless I die, I won’t let that two-faced b*tch Meredith get virtual-novel.net way!”
After Madeline said that, virtual-novel.net turned around and went upstairs to lock herself in virtual-novel.net room.
Her heart was beating frantically. She was so scared that virtual-novel.net would beg virtual-novel.net to not divorce virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net were slightly slower.
After all, virtual-novel.net had never changed virtual-novel.net wish. As long as virtual-novel.net could stay with him, virtual-novel.net would be happy and satisfied.
However, his heartlessness was way beyond virtual-novel.net imagination despite virtual-novel.net having promised that virtual-novel.net would stay with virtual-novel.net forever.
…
Madeline moved out. She did not dare face Jeremy. She was scared that virtual-novel.net would hand virtual-novel.net the divorce papers once more. Not to mention, virtual-novel.net was also scared that virtual-novel.net would try to do everything virtual-novel.net could to kill the baby in virtual-novel.net stomach for Meredith’s sake.
She had thought that Jeremy would ask about virtual-novel.net after virtual-novel.net moved out. However, a few days passed, and virtual-novel.net never called her. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net had not been home for those few days.
He must have been with Meredith, living their best lives.
At the thought of this, Meredith looked at the rings virtual-novel.net had drafted. Consequently, virtual-novel.net vision became blurry.
Back then, virtual-novel.net had accepted the order from a client. They had asked virtual-novel.net to create a pair of matching rings.
When virtual-novel.net first started having feelings for Jeremy, virtual-novel.net had had this pair of rings in virtual-novel.net mind.
She had imagined meeting virtual-novel.net once more, falling in love, and eventually getting married. Then, virtual-novel.net would put the ring virtual-novel.net had designed herself on virtual-novel.net own ring finger by himself. Nonetheless, at the end of the day, that promise turned into ashes.
Madeline wiped away virtual-novel.net tears and recomposed herself to continue working on virtual-novel.net draft. However, virtual-novel.net received a call from the psychiatric hospital where virtual-novel.net only family member in the world was living.
She rushed over, and the nurse told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net grandfather had cancer; it was lung cancer.
It was treatable but required very expensive surgery.
Madeline sliced an apple for Len Samuels and handed it to him. “Grandpa, have an apple.”
Even though Len was mentally-ill, virtual-novel.net looked benevolent and kind. He took the apple from Madeline. “Eveline, you’re here.”
Madeline nodded and smiled. Eveline was virtual-novel.net real name. As for virtual-novel.net surname, virtual-novel.net had no idea.
Ever since virtual-novel.net could remember, virtual-novel.net had no parents. She only had a mentally-ill grandfather.
Madeline had thought that virtual-novel.net would be the one mourning for virtual-novel.net grandfather when virtual-novel.net returned to the maker. However, from the looks of the current situation, virtual-novel.net would leave before Len.
Madeline checked the price for the surgery and found that virtual-novel.net needed about three hundred thousand dollars to treat second stage lung cancer.
Seeing the number, the light in Madeline’s eyes slowly began to fade away. She felt as if virtual-novel.net heart was being trapped by a net. It only became tighter and tighter, making it harder for virtual-novel.net to breathe.
Three hundred thousand dollars. How would virtual-novel.net get so much money?
Nonetheless, when virtual-novel.net thought about virtual-novel.net grandfather passing away because virtual-novel.net did not have enough money for his treatment, tears blurred virtual-novel.net vision. The pain of losing a loved one was so suffocating that it made it hard for virtual-novel.net to breathe.
Nevertheless, the expensive cost of treatment made Madeline fall into another state of despair. Eventually, when virtual-novel.net was about to lose all hope, virtual-novel.net remembered Jeremy.
He was virtual-novel.net only hope.
