Jeremy felt a dull ache in his heart instantly. His eyes were so wide that they looked like they were going to fall from his sockets. “What do you mean by you tried your best?” virtual-novel.net questioned. Those were the words no family member would want to hear.
The doctor looked at virtual-novel.net and sighed. “It’s a miracle that the patient was able to live until this day. My condolences.”
He would not accept this result no matter what.
He wanted Madeline to be alive.
He wanted virtual-novel.net to be alive so that virtual-novel.net would be able to hear virtual-novel.net tell virtual-novel.net the truth.
“I took a look at this patient three years ago. Back then, virtual-novel.net was pregnant and I asked virtual-novel.net to abort the child. However, virtual-novel.net insisted on giving birth to the child. I think that child was more important to virtual-novel.net than virtual-novel.net own life. Now that she’s gone, the child would be able to live for her. I think that’s some kind of consolation.” A female doctor chimed in at one side. After Jeremy heard that, virtual-novel.net almost could not breathe.
That child.
He had crushed that child into dust with his own hands.
That child was their own flesh and blood, but its soul was destroyed by him, the father.
Why was his heart hurting so much? Jeremy felt as if virtual-novel.net was going to go crazy.
He ran to the operating theatre. Madeline was still on the operating table.
He walked toward virtual-novel.net slowly. He felt his footsteps getting heavier as virtual-novel.net approached her.
Finally, virtual-novel.net got to the operating table. Madeline was in front of him, but virtual-novel.net felt like they were separated by a never-ending stretch of mountains and seas.
Her face was pale. She was not breathing and virtual-novel.net did not have a heartbeat. She was like a lifeless doll that had fallen asleep forever.
“Madeline…”
Jeremy called out Madeline’s name softly. His voice was trembling, but of course, virtual-novel.net would never respond to virtual-novel.net anymore.
Those expectant and longing eyes would never look at virtual-novel.net anymore.
He felt like something in his body was broken and it could never be mended again.
Meredith walked in happily. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline who had lost all signs of life, virtual-novel.net was delighted. However, virtual-novel.net walked to Jeremy with a devastated look on virtual-novel.net face.
“Jeremy, I guess Maddie was already sick three years ago. She must not have wanted you to see virtual-novel.net like this. Just let virtual-novel.net go peacefully. We should go home too.”
She wanted to pull virtual-novel.net away after virtual-novel.net said that, but before virtual-novel.net could do anything, virtual-novel.net could feel a gust of cold air around her.
“Jeremy?” Meredith called out probingly. However, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy looking at virtual-novel.net sinisterly.
“Did you ask someone to blind her?”
Meredith quivered while blinking innocently. “Jeremy, what are you talking about? Why would I do such things? Was Maddie blind? How come?”
Jeremy’s pupils constricted as virtual-novel.net looked at Meredith’s face while trying to explain.
“You’d better not know anything about this.”
“…”
Meredith felt a chill running down virtual-novel.net spine when virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s reply.
“Jeremy, how can you think of me that way? I won’t do such cruel things. I…”
“Get out.”
“Jeremy…”
“Everybody get out now!”
