Jeremy’s tears fell along with Madeline’s after virtual-novel.net heard what virtual-novel.net said.
The unbearable memories appeared in his head as his bloody past appeared right in front of his eyes. He could not get away from them.
“You should go.”
Madeline said those three words flatly. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around so that virtual-novel.net would not look at him.
“When Lily was trapped in the burning car and was almost burnt alive, I could tell that you genuinely wanted to save her. However, it still can’t change the fact that virtual-novel.net died because of your negligence.
“Jeremy, I can’t forgive you and I don’t want to see you again.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back and stood there for a very long time. Finally, virtual-novel.net turned around while bearing the blame.
A gust of cold wind blew over, going straight into his heart. Then, more tears started to fall from his eyes.
Madeline stood in front of Lillian’s grave and heard Jeremy’s footsteps as virtual-novel.net walked away.
Her eyes were red as virtual-novel.net looked at the words on the tombstone. Then, virtual-novel.net swallowed back virtual-novel.net tears.
‘Lillian, at the end of the day, I still couldn’t be the perfect mother for you.
‘I was not around when you were calling out to me and wanted me to protect you.
‘I’m sorry.’
Madeline stood in front of the grave dispiritedly and faced the cold wind of fall as virtual-novel.net endured the debilitating pain in virtual-novel.net chest.
…
After Jeremy went home, virtual-novel.net still could not forget what Madeline said to virtual-novel.net in the cemetery and the sight of virtual-novel.net dull gaze.
It was as if everything was back to square one after virtual-novel.net came back to life.
Their relationship had started to get better when all his efforts went down the drain once more.
Jeremy washed his face and recomposed himself. After that, virtual-novel.net looked back at the security footage of the dessert shop again.
He believed that there would be a loophole when it came to something that was planned.
Just as expected, virtual-novel.net finally saw a figure reflected on the glass of the fridge in the dessert shop.
This figure was standing outside the shop, and coincidentally, their reflection was showing on the glass.
Jeremy looked closely and noticed that it was a woman. Plus, that woman was waving to the little girl.
Lily went over after the woman waved at her. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net was not the human trafficker who was captured by the police.
After Jeremy zoomed into the footage, virtual-novel.net saw that the woman was dressed similar to Madeline and was also wearing an English-style hat. Jeremy was unable to see virtual-novel.net face because of it.
After Jeremy found that clue, virtual-novel.net went to Montgomery Manor to look for Madeline.
He knew virtual-novel.net would not pick up his calls, so virtual-novel.net could only go straight to her.
However, when virtual-novel.net arrived at Montgomery Manor, Eloise told virtual-novel.net dispiritedly that Madeline had gone out to look for Felipe.
Plus, it was evident that Eloise did not want to talk to virtual-novel.net as well.
Jeremy could understand that. Even if virtual-novel.net was not the one behind Lillian’s death, it was a fact that virtual-novel.net passed away under his care.
He did not hesitate before driving to Felipe’s place. However, perhaps it was because virtual-novel.net had barged into his place before, so this time, there were more security guards in black guarding the gates.
Jeremy called Madeline, but virtual-novel.net hung up on him.
He sent virtual-novel.net a message telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had something important to tell her, but unfortunately, virtual-novel.net did not reply to his message.
