Madeline did not think virtual-novel.net cared about Jeremy giving roses to other women. She just was not reconciled.
Jeremy’s car went straight all the way. There were gradually lesser cars along this road.
In order to avoid being found out by him, Felipe stretched the distance very far.
After about 20 minutes, Madeline saw Jeremy’s car had stopped.
However, the place virtual-novel.net parked his car made Madeline and Felipe feel confused.
“A cemetery?”
Jeremy had actually come to a cemetery.
Why would virtual-novel.net come to this place while carrying a bouquet of roses?
Furthermore, this cemetery was exactly where virtual-novel.net once buried virtual-novel.net grandfather and virtual-novel.net first child. It was also the place where virtual-novel.net had cruelly killed their child in front of her. Madeline’s heart trembled fiercely thinking about it. The snow floating in the sky on that fateful day seemed to float into virtual-novel.net heart at this moment, so cold.
She would never forget how desperate and helpless virtual-novel.net was when virtual-novel.net pleaded with him. Yet, virtual-novel.net ignored virtual-novel.net pleading and tears, ruthlessly cutting up virtual-novel.net heart a thousand times. In the end, virtual-novel.net even let Meredith disfigure her.
“Do you want to follow virtual-novel.net in?” Felipe asked.
Madeline suddenly withdrew virtual-novel.net thoughts and shook virtual-novel.net head. “There aren’t many people here and not many cars either. If I follow him, he’ll surely realize.”
“Then we wait?”
Madeline was silent upon hearing this.
Did virtual-novel.net want to wait?
However, what was virtual-novel.net waiting for?
The cemetery was so big that Jeremy’s figure could no longer be seen.
What could virtual-novel.net get from waiting here?
“Your hands are cold.” Felipe held virtual-novel.net hands again. “Is it because you’re thinking of the unhappy things in the past?”
His voice was as soft and warm as ever, quietly trickling through virtual-novel.net injured heart.
Hearing Madeline’s silence, Felipe curled his lips. His fingertips gently patted the hair beside virtual-novel.net ear. “Don’t worry, you have me.”
…
At the cemetery.
Holding 88 red roses, Jeremy walked along the familiar road and finally came to a tomb.
Looking at the name carved on the tombstone, virtual-novel.net reached out and gently grazed over each word as though virtual-novel.net was able to sense virtual-novel.net warmth this way, but the coldness on his fingertips reminded virtual-novel.net that everything was just his illusion and fantasy.
Jeremy put down the roses and lit a cigarette as usual. Sitting on a stone bench by the side, the lingering smoke was blown away, but the gentle breeze blurred the tombstone in his eyes.
The moment when virtual-novel.net believed that Madeline and Tanner had partnered to kidnap Jack and the scene of virtual-novel.net cruelly pushing virtual-novel.net away emerged clearly in his mind.
The rain had been so heavy that day.
Now that virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net was already sick with such a serious illness back then. Her body had to be in so much pain.
She had said, “Jeremy, believe me.”
She had also said, “Jeremy Whitman, why can’t you just believe me for once? Just once!”
In the end, virtual-novel.net used all kinds of insults to pinch out the hope in virtual-novel.net eyes bit by bit.
He had actually seen virtual-novel.net pale face from the rear-view mirror, sitting in the rain like a broken doll.
He had also felt his heart aching at that time but thought his heartache was over Meredith. He never realized that it was her virtual-novel.net was feeling a heartache over.
Hiss.
The pricking sensation pulled Jeremy’s thoughts back from three years ago.
Letting the cigarette butt burn, virtual-novel.net quietly looked at the tombstone in front of virtual-novel.net and smiled bitterly.
“I regret it. Do you hear me?”
He lifted the corner of his lips, his eyes starting to feel sore.
He never thought that after Madeline died that virtual-novel.net would have a tough time every night and that virtual-novel.net would be thinking of virtual-novel.net all the time.
He slowly got up and walked to the tombstone. Crouching down, virtual-novel.net reached into his pocket and took out that dark blue velvet jewelry box.
Opening it, the diamond reflected a bright halo under the sun.
“Do you like it? I designed it for you.” Jeremy smiled to himself. “She looks like you and I keep on having illusions, but not anymore. You are you, and virtual-novel.net is her.”
After promising this, virtual-novel.net gently stuffed the jewelry box into the gap beside the tombstone.
“Linnie… Can I call you this from now on?” virtual-novel.net asked, but the answer virtual-novel.net received was only the rustle of the branches after a breeze blew past.
