Watching Madeline’s eyes that were red from crying, emotion finally flashed through Jeremy’s gaze.
He could not ignore Madeline’s plea, let alone continue to go against virtual-novel.net wishes.
“It’s under the door,” Jeremy finally said.
Madeline quickly shouted for Fabian, “It’s under the door!”
Fabian squatted and groped around, surprised to find the key.
Opening the door, virtual-novel.net and Yorick then ran inside to carry out Lana and Naomi who had passed out.
As both Lana and Naomi had been doused in gasoline, embers of flame managed to catch on them while they were carried out.
Thank goodness for the firefighters who arrived in time and extinguished the flames.
Lana and Naomi were sent to the hospital where both were declared to not be in any life-threatening danger.
However, the ends of Lana’s already short hair were burnt and became choppy. The scent of smoke filled the strands of virtual-novel.net hair.
Knowing that Lana and Naomi were alright, Madeline got into the car anxiously.
She could only imagine how much Jeremy must have hated Lana and himself to do such a thing.
Madeline reached out for a picture of Eloise and Sean, tracing it with virtual-novel.net fingertips.
“Will you blame me for stopping Jeremy, Mom and Dad?”
She frowned, feeling conflicted.
She felt a boulder lodge itself on virtual-novel.net chest at the idea that the man virtual-novel.net loved had become virtual-novel.net parents’ murderer, putting virtual-novel.net in a suffocating situation.
The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more remorseful virtual-novel.net felt.
There was no way virtual-novel.net could erase the fact that Jeremy had killed Eloise and Sean, but here virtual-novel.net was worried about their future together.
At that train of thought, Madeline felt guilty.
After buying a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and carnations, virtual-novel.net arrived at the cemetery. Before virtual-novel.net could walk over, virtual-novel.net was met with the sight of Jeremy bending down to light candles and incense before Eloise and Sean’s graves.
Madeline walked over to replace Jeremy’s flowers and candles with new ones.
Jeremy stood rooted in place. His deep eyes were staring at Madeline who was paying virtual-novel.net no heed.
“Can I have a day with the kids, Linnie?”
He was pleading, but Madeline ignored virtual-novel.net to light candles quietly.
“I’ll redraft the divorce papers. You can have custody over the kids and every asset and property I own. I know they don’t mean anything to you, but it’s the last thing I can give you.”
At that, Madeline heard Jeremy walk away.
Pretending not to hear virtual-novel.net at all, Madeline continued to light the candles. However, virtual-novel.net could not hide the tears that were trickling from virtual-novel.net eyes.
Time ticked away, and Madeline fell to virtual-novel.net knees lifelessly. With virtual-novel.net head falling forward, virtual-novel.net started to sob.
Not too far away, Jeremy’s tears fell with hers as virtual-novel.net watched Madeline’s kneeling and crying figure.
‘When we first met, even the wind that blew tasted sweet. I promised to protect and keep that happy smile on your face forever, yet I ended up being the one to destroy every bit of that sweet smile.
‘I’ve finally understood, Eveline, that loving a person doesn’t mean you’ll get to be with them forever.
‘It’s not because I don’t love you enough, but because I’m not worthy. You deserve much better than me.’
