He was still trying to gradually force this woman to admit virtual-novel.net identity, but unbeknownst to him, virtual-novel.net was exposing herself without even hesitating.
As virtual-novel.net looked at the charming and seductive face in front of him, virtual-novel.net could not help but think about the sweet and lovely face from his memory.
Felipe felt as if his heart had been sliced by an invisible knife. He reached out his hand to grab Cathy’s wrist, pulling virtual-novel.net toward him.
“What’s wrong with your face? Why did you undergo plastic surgery? Just so you can pretend to be a stranger in front of me?”
His tone was cold, and his eyes looked overbearing.
However, there was no fear in Cathy’s eyes anymore. On the other hand, virtual-novel.net curled virtual-novel.net lips into a smirk of disdain.
“Mr. Whitman, you think too highly of yourself. I got plastic surgery because I was disfigured by someone.”
Felipe’s pupils constricted as rage appeared under his eyes. “What did you say? You were disfigured? Who did that?”
“I don’t know who they were, but I know you were the one who caused me to be disfigured.”
‘Me?’
Felipe was stunned.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net realized Cathy might have encountered something even more terrible than falling into the water after virtual-novel.net jumped into the river.
When virtual-novel.net wanted to ask, Cathy escaped from his grip and walked away.
Felipe grabbed her. “Why are you staying with Jeremy?”
“It’s none of your business.” Cathy’s tone was calm. She did not have the same admiration in virtual-novel.net eyes for Felipe as virtual-novel.net had before.
She removed virtual-novel.net hand from his and walked away without turning back.
Felipe’s hand was suspended in mid-air. He could not accept Cathy’s attitude toward virtual-novel.net now.
He was used to virtual-novel.net being good to him, appearing in front of virtual-novel.net so cheerfully and full of energy.
He was even used to virtual-novel.net illicit feelings for him.
However, in this second, virtual-novel.net felt as if the thing that should belong to virtual-novel.net had been taken away from him.
This person who took everything away from virtual-novel.net was Jeremy.
…
Jeremy woke up in the evening the next day.
His wound had broken open again, so his condition became worse.
However, the physical pain was nothing compared to the concern and longing virtual-novel.net had for Madeline.
He wanted to contact Madeline, but when virtual-novel.net turned his head, virtual-novel.net saw Cathy deep in thought.
“Why did you come to F Country all of a sudden?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Cathy came back to virtual-novel.net senses. “Ken told me. I was worried about you, so I came.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll find out who you are?”
Cathy laughed. “He knows.”
Jeremy’s expression changed, but then virtual-novel.net saw the calm look on Cathy’s face. “What are you going to do next?”
“Ken showed me the video. I really didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to be doing something illegal.” Cathy lowered virtual-novel.net gaze in disappointment and loss. “However, I won’t let virtual-novel.net sink further into this mess.”
“Do you still love him?” Jeremy felt sorry for Cathy.
Cathy smiled widely. “Evie has never let you go as well, has she?”
When Jeremy heard this, virtual-novel.net felt warmth rising in his chest.
When virtual-novel.net remembered Madeline pointing virtual-novel.net gun at Felipe so domineeringly just to protect him, virtual-novel.net felt his heart racing.
‘Linnie.’
He quietly called out Madeline’s name in his heart and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
