Amidst the silence, Jeremy could hear Madeline chuckling lightly.
“Jeremy, everything’s too late. I won’t have any feelings for you no matter what you say now,” Madeline said coldly. She no longer had the same yearning for virtual-novel.net any longer.
“Because I don’t love you anymore.”
Even though virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net did not love him, when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net saying it out loud, Jeremy finally felt what it was like to have a million arrows to his heart.
He felt like invisible knives were raining down on him, slicing away his flesh from his body. What was left of virtual-novel.net now was just his bones.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net hand suddenly and pushed away Jeremy’s lifeless arms.
She turned around and looked sarcastically at the dispirited man.
“Jeremy, I’m done with you. The moment you asked someone to break open my grandpa’s tombstone, I instantly regretted falling in love with a cold-blooded and heartless man like you.”
When virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net saying this, Jeremy felt the cold wind taking over his body. The temperature of his heart plummeted into sub-zero temperature.
Madeline chuckled again when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy looking at virtual-novel.net with a stunned look on his face. However, in an instant, virtual-novel.net face turned solemn and even virtual-novel.net gaze became sterner.
“When I loved you the most, you did everything to hurt and insult me to no end. You even forced me to sign the divorce papers before I died just for the sake of that demon Meredith.
“Do you know that even after you forced me to sign the papers, I still wished that you’d turn around to look at me even if it’s just a single glance?! But you didn’t. I watched you leave carefreely from my vision with the last ray of light that I had left. I could only lie on the floor and endure the excruciating pain. I could only wait for my eyes to completely lose their vision and my life to end.
“So, don’t tell me that you’re sorry or you’re wrong. Jeremy Whitman, you’re not wrong! I’m the one who’s wrong because I loved the wrong person!”
Jeremy felt tears stinging at the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes after virtual-novel.net heard what Madeline said.
He sobbed soundlessly, his red eyes meeting Madeline’s determined gaze that was filled with hatred. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt so petty and despicable.
He had hurt virtual-novel.net so deeply, but now, virtual-novel.net was trying to get virtual-novel.net forgiveness by apologizing to her.
Jeremy did not dare to look into Madeline’s eyes. He felt that virtual-novel.net was not worthy to even look virtual-novel.net in the eye.
“I got it.” He lowered his gaze, looking as if all life had been sucked out of him. “I’ll try to not disturb you,” virtual-novel.net said before turning around slowly. After a few steps, virtual-novel.net turned back around again.
“Is Lily our daughter?”
Madeline pressed virtual-novel.net lips together. “No, Lily isn’t related to you. She doesn’t have such a cold-blooded father.”
After Jeremy got virtual-novel.net concrete answer, the light in his eyes diminished completely.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net finally realized the extent of the heartbreak Madeline had suffered back then. His heart sank like a rock as virtual-novel.net was plagued with despair and pain.
Jeremy left the unit, his tall and slender body looking so desolate and bleak.
After virtual-novel.net closed the door, Madeline looked in the direction where Jeremy left. She took a deep breath and closed virtual-novel.net eyes. When virtual-novel.net opened them again, virtual-novel.net eyes were red.
‘Jeremy, back then, I had a fatal attraction toward you. Finally, I burned the innocent part of me to death. However, I won’t repeat the same mistakes again.’
Madeline went back to virtual-novel.net room to lie down. Even after tossing and turning, sleep never came.
She lit up some incense and forced herself to sleep for a few hours.
She woke up again in the early morning. For some reason, virtual-novel.net wanted to go for a morning jog. However, when virtual-novel.net opened the door of virtual-novel.net apartment, virtual-novel.net was shocked when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy lying on the icy floor.
