Hearing every word uttered from Madeline’s lips, Jeremy frowned, his heartbeat becoming very irregular all of a sudden.
“Jeremy, if you don’t kill me today, I will definitely kill you and avenge my child.”
Her clear eyes were as decisive as before.
Jeremy smiled nonchalantly. “I’ll be waiting.”
He stood up as virtual-novel.net said it and then left just like that.
After watching that black figure disappearing gradually from virtual-novel.net gaze, Madeline instantly seemed to have been drained of all virtual-novel.net strength and blood as virtual-novel.net leaned limply on virtual-novel.net grandfather’s urn.
Warm tears once again overflowing but virtual-novel.net heart was already numbed with pain.
However, it was not over as Meredith had suddenly appeared.
Meredith was holding a fruit knife when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline lying on the ground while holding onto the urn. Meredith walked toward Madeline and then crouched down, reaching out to pull up virtual-novel.net short hair.
“Tsk tsk, I told you not to go against me. Are you afraid now?”
Madeline sneered, no longer wanting to waste virtual-novel.net breath and energy. “Meredith, you venomous woman, kill me if you have the guts!”
“Haha… you want to die? Oh, but I’m not so cruel.” Meredith pretended to chuckle. “However, Jeremy did say that you had ruined his precious son’s face, so I’d have to return the favor doubled.”
Accompanied by Meredith’s dark voice, Madeline’s suddenly felt a sharp pain on the right of virtual-novel.net face.
Madeline trembled all over from this skin-splitting pain, but virtual-novel.net made not a single sound, forcibly enduring the sharp pain.
Clang!”
Meredith threw the fruit knife in front of Madeline, then lifted virtual-novel.net foot and kicked Madeline heavily.
“Bah! B*tch! You should have died long ago!” She then turned abruptly and left.
Madeline got up with difficulty. She touched virtual-novel.net cheek that had been slashed twice with virtual-novel.net trembling palm. She could no longer feel the pain.
Red blood flowed from between virtual-novel.net fingers, falling drop by drop onto the ground, corrupted by the rain and snow. With more and more, it became extremely dazzling.
At virtual-novel.net last gasp, Madeline fell onto virtual-novel.net grandfather’s ashes. Watching the snowflakes fall one by one, virtual-novel.net could not help think of the wonderful time virtual-novel.net had had with Jeremy.
Yet, all of that was like the snowflakes that virtual-novel.net had reached out to grab at the moment. Once virtual-novel.net released them, there were no more, leaving behind only unbearable pain…
——
Madeline laid on the bed for three days and when virtual-novel.net woke up for the first time, the person virtual-novel.net saw was Ava.
Ava looked at Madeline with red eyes, finding it so unbearable that virtual-novel.net heart was about to break. She did not know what Madeline had gone through, but virtual-novel.net was certain that the two slaughterers, Meredith and Jeremy were indispensable from the bruises on virtual-novel.net back.
Though, Madeline only smiled and comforted Ava. “Ava, don’t feel sorry for me. If there is a next life, let’s be sisters again.”
Ava let out a cry and hugged Madeline’s thin body. “I don’t want the next life. I want this life, want it to go on for a long, long time!”
“Well, this life, is a long, long one…” Madeline opened virtual-novel.net pale lips to respond. She wanted to laugh, but virtual-novel.net tears had run out.
Her life could not be any longer.
Madeline rested for a few days and when the wound on virtual-novel.net face was no longer covered with gauze, virtual-novel.net went back to work.
Although there was no need for gauze, the X-shaped wound on virtual-novel.net cheek was still obvious. She had short hair now and it was difficult for virtual-novel.net to cover the wound on virtual-novel.net cheek.
When virtual-novel.net colleagues saw it, they could not help whisper amongst themselves.
Two female colleagues had come to inquire as if they were concerned, but they were not. It was just to satisfy their curiosity.
A video showing Madeline beating Meredith in the hospital was gradually circulated on the Internet.
Gradually, some people thought that it was a lesson taught to Madeline as a result of virtual-novel.net bullying Meredith and the looks shared between colleagues became weird. Almost all of them had questioned Madeline, only Elizabeth had spoken up for virtual-novel.net resentfully. “Those videos on the Internet are all fake. Mads’s face is not because virtual-novel.net had offended someone who shouldn’t be offended. Isn’t that right, Mads?”
In the end, even Elizabeth was just actually trying to satisfy virtual-novel.net curiosity.
Faced with the pairs of questioning and curious eyes, Madeline smiled magnanimously. “That’s right, I hit Meredith because virtual-novel.net deserved it. If I could, I’d really want to kill her.”
