Felipe’s eyes glinted, and when virtual-novel.net was about to say something, Madeline quickly walked over from behind him.
Jeremy looked at Madeline. “Linnie…”
Slap!
Madeline slapped Jeremy heavily across the face.
Jeremy’s face was turned to the side from the slap and the excruciating pain crept into his heart.
Madeline glared at Jeremy with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes. She was biting virtual-novel.net lip tightly. “Even if you didn’t want to kill Lily, virtual-novel.net still went missing under your care. You won’t be able to get away from this responsibility no matter what you say!”
Her eyes looked pained. “Jeremy, why do you have to make me hate you?” Madeline said before turning around. Then, Felipe chased behind her.
Jeremy did not even get to see Lilian for the last time before virtual-novel.net was brought into the car.
After a while, everything around virtual-novel.net plunged into silence. Jeremy stood there alone while stuck in a daze.
He had not protected the woman virtual-novel.net loved back then and caused virtual-novel.net to die in his arms. Today, virtual-novel.net made the same fatal mistake again.
Jeremy could not forgive himself for his negligence. He punched a tree nearby and roared in pain. Then, virtual-novel.net let out a wail before falling to the ground.
“Lillian…”
…
Lillian’s passing interrupted Madeline’s plan to go back to F Country with Felipe.
Madeline stayed in bed for a few days as virtual-novel.net could not handle the loss. She handed Felipe the responsibility to handle Lillian’s funeral.
Whenever virtual-novel.net thought about the little girl who looked like a little fairy when virtual-novel.net laughed, Madeline felt that it was getting extremely hard to breathe. However, virtual-novel.net could not even cry anymore.
Yet when Jackson asked virtual-novel.net where Lillian was, virtual-novel.net could not stop virtual-novel.net tears from falling.
Half a month later, the police captured the human trafficker who had kidnapped Lillian.
That person used a toy as bait to make Lillian go with him. However, after virtual-novel.net got Lillian, virtual-novel.net started making a fuss and kept asking for virtual-novel.net mother. Therefore, virtual-novel.net strangled virtual-novel.net to death in a fit of anger.
After Jeremy got news about that, virtual-novel.net went to the police station and met the human trafficker.
That man knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness. He told Jeremy that virtual-novel.net did not mean to do that.
Jeremy looked at the human trafficker and did not fly into a fit of rage. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net walked away calmly.
After virtual-novel.net walked out of the station, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline walking over with an umbrella.
It was the end of fall, and there was a light drizzle that was being carried along with the wind. The coldness would penetrate into one’s skin. It was bone-piercing.
Madeline walked past Jeremy. Her eyes were calm and virtual-novel.net did not even look at him.
Jeremy felt a dull ache in virtual-novel.net heart again as virtual-novel.net reached out his hand to grab Madeline. “Linnie.”
Madeline stopped walking. Her voice was cold and there were no emotions when virtual-novel.net spoke, “Let go.”
“Linnie, Lily’s death doesn’t seem to be so simple. That human trafficker is just a scapegoat.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s icy side profile and saw virtual-novel.net turning virtual-novel.net head slowly. Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost while virtual-novel.net eyes were red and swollen.
He felt as if a knife was being stabbed into his heart. He could not bear to see virtual-novel.net looking so devastated and haggard.
“Linnie…”
“Why did you take Lily out? Lily isn’t related to you in any way. Why did you keep looking for my daughter?” Madeline asked coldly.
“Linnie, Lily is our daughter. The reason I wanted to hang out with virtual-novel.net is that I found out that she’s my daughter.”
Madeline looked at virtual-novel.net with animosity and swung his hand away from hers forcefully. “Jeremy, do you think I’ll believe this ridiculous lie? I know my own child very well!”
“No, you don’t. Linnie, you lost your memory and you can’t remember anything that happened before. Felipe is just lying to you. You were never intimate with him. This whole time, you belong to me.”
Jeremy held Madeline’s shoulders as virtual-novel.net started losing control of his emotions. Then, his eyes became solemn.
“Linnie, I’ll prove to you right now that Lily is our child.”
