She lifted virtual-novel.net hand to touch virtual-novel.net stomach. Then, a pleased smile blossomed on virtual-novel.net face.
After Cathy left, Felipe picked up the colorful shell that virtual-novel.net had been keeping for years.
“Eveline.”
He called out to Madeline’s name as a cheeky face appeared in his mind.
He would not forget how a ray of light had appeared in his dark life after virtual-novel.net met virtual-novel.net by the beach.
“I won’t let you go back to Jeremy again. You’re mine.”
He held the shell as a wave of emotions appeared in his eyes.
That day, the reason virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wanted to bring Madeline to clear virtual-novel.net head in the equine park was to prevent virtual-novel.net from having any contact with the outside world so that his plan would carry out smoothly.
He knew virtual-novel.net could not hide the fact that virtual-novel.net had drugged Madeline, so virtual-novel.net needed to admit it.
He also knew that Madeline would not want to go back to F Country with virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net could sense that virtual-novel.net started to develop feelings for Jeremy again. That was why virtual-novel.net planned to create a conflict between Madeline and Jeremy by involving Lillian in an accident.
However, Madeline told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would go back to F Country with virtual-novel.net out of the blue. This shocked him, but when that happened, it was already too late for virtual-novel.net to stop his plan.
He was left with no choice but to let Madeline suffer the pain of losing a child.
From the looks of it now, it was good that virtual-novel.net did not stop the plan. Even if Madeline refused to go back with him, at least virtual-novel.net relationship with Jeremy was utterly destroyed.
She would not forgive virtual-novel.net now.
She would not forgive a man who lost virtual-novel.net most treasured child.
…
After Jeremy went home, virtual-novel.net locked himself in his room and kept looking at the security footage of the dessert shop.
He suspected that Felipe was the one behind it. Since Lillian was not his daughter, that was why virtual-novel.net was able to do it.
Plus, if no one deliberately planned this, how would it be possible that none of the cameras captured Lillian?
The only person who could do this was Felipe.
Jeremy looked at the footage again and again. As virtual-novel.net looked at the lively and cheeky child in the video, his vision became blurry again.
His daughter. He did not even get the chance to hear virtual-novel.net call virtual-novel.net ‘daddy’ before virtual-novel.net left virtual-novel.net forever.
What hurt virtual-novel.net more was that virtual-novel.net could not see his daughter for the last time before virtual-novel.net was turned into ashes.
Jeremy held a bouquet of sunflowers and came to the cemetery.
The words ‘Lillian Whitman’ on the tombstone stabbed his heart like a knife.
“Lillian.”
His fingers caressed the words on the tombstone. The cold sensation under his fingertips made virtual-novel.net remember the time virtual-novel.net lost Madeline.
This seemingly familiar pain felt like a net that trapped his heart, making it difficult for virtual-novel.net to breathe.
‘Why are you here?”
He heard Madeline’s voice from behind him. He stood up after being taken aback.
He wanted to hide the moisture in his eyes but could not do it flawlessly.
Madeline looked at the flowers virtual-novel.net placed down just now and placed the sunflowers virtual-novel.net bought in front of the tombstone as well.
“Do you know why I named this child Lillian?”
Madeline smiled softly and looked at Jeremy with a solemn look on virtual-novel.net face. Then, tears started pouring from virtual-novel.net eyes.
“It’s because you gave me too many dark, cold, and painful experiences. That’s why I didn’t want my daughter to be like virtual-novel.net mother. Her name Lily signified rebirth. I wanted virtual-novel.net to always receive warmth from the sun. Why did virtual-novel.net have to get into an accident when virtual-novel.net was under your care and die in such a bitter way?”
