The baby felt someone carrying him, so virtual-novel.net opened his huge and round eyes instantly.
The man holding the baby was shocked. However, his heart melted when virtual-novel.net saw those innocent and naive eyes.
“Are you Pudding?” Jeremy asked in a low voice as virtual-novel.net caressed the adorable face with his fingers.
The baby looked at Jeremy and subconsciously parted his lips into a cute grin.
Jeremy felt his Adam’s apple bobbing when virtual-novel.net saw his smile. He could not control his tears from falling.
The scene of Madeline painfully delivering the child prematurely was still fresh in his memory.
She supported virtual-novel.net frail body through the pain by using virtual-novel.net strong willpower. That was how virtual-novel.net gave birth to this premature baby.
When that happened, virtual-novel.net clothes and hair were drenched in sweat while virtual-novel.net face was extremely pale. She had been longing to reach out virtual-novel.net hand to virtual-novel.net and call out to him.
However, virtual-novel.net was like an emotionless robot and only reached out his hand to virtual-novel.net at the last moment.
Then, virtual-novel.net felt his heart tighten when virtual-novel.net thought about how this child needed to stay in an incubator for almost a month before virtual-novel.net could live like normal babies.
“Pudding, I’m sorry. I’m not a good father.” Jeremy leaned down and pressed a light kiss on the baby’s cheek.
This kiss contained a deep apology and a love that came from the deepest part of his heart.
The baby blinked his marble-like eyes and could not understand a word Jeremy said. He only smiled adorably and kicked Jeremy with his plump and fair feet.
“You’re so cute. You’re indeed my son,” Jeremy said proudly.
He did not know how much time had passed, but virtual-novel.net was scared that Madeline would notice him.
He knew Madeline did not want to see virtual-novel.net now because virtual-novel.net did not know how to face the murderer who killed virtual-novel.net parents.
He did not want to bring virtual-novel.net any heartache, so virtual-novel.net placed the baby down before leaving.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net let go, the baby started wailing in his cot.
Jeremy quickly picked virtual-novel.net up to comfort him. However, the baby started crying even louder. His face had turned red from crying.
At this moment, the door of the bathroom opened.
Madeline did not have time to dry herself, so virtual-novel.net hastily wrapped the towel around virtual-novel.net and walked out barefoot.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy and the crying baby in his arms, virtual-novel.net rushed over hurriedly. “What are you doing here?”
She glared at virtual-novel.net and took the baby as gently as possible from Jeremy’s arms.
“Don’t cry, Pudding. Don’t cry. Mommy’s here, darling, don’t cry.” Madeline smiled softly and coaxed patiently.
Jeremy looked at her, feeling dispirited. He felt like virtual-novel.net was eons away when virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline’s smile.
It had been a while since virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net smile like that.
“Linnie,” virtual-novel.net called out to virtual-novel.net softly.
Madeline ignored virtual-novel.net and walked to one side to continue coaxing the crying baby.
On the other hand, Jeremy stood behind her. They were so close, yet virtual-novel.net felt as if they were separated by a mountain and a river. He wanted to touch her, but virtual-novel.net was so far away.
For some reason, the baby was crying louder and louder.
Madeline was heartbroken.
“What’s wrong, honey? Are you unwell?” virtual-novel.net asked in concern, but of course, the baby could not answer her.
