Jeremy gulped. Giving Madeline up, virtual-novel.net forced himself to turn around.
He used the day to spend time with the children.
Lillian still called virtual-novel.net ‘Mister’, but it was good enough for him.
The sky darkened, and Madeline returned.
Jeremy placed the newly signed divorce papers in front of virtual-novel.net and felt dizziness wash over him.
Assuming it was the slow-acting poison Lana talked about, virtual-novel.net suppressed his reaction to it and gave Madeline a gentle, small smile.
“I don’t want you to suffer anymore, Linnie,” virtual-novel.net stated gently, “Having gone through so much, I’ve come to understand that true love doesn’t mean possession. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy. That’s enough for me.”
Hearing virtual-novel.net son, Karen asked worriedly, “What are you saying, Jeremy? Are you actually breaking up with Eveline?”
She asked, but Jeremy did not answer.
Karen then walked to stand beside Madeline. “Mom has done so many horrible things to you before, Eveline. Yet you’ve forgiven me despite my horrendous acts. Will you not forgive Jeremy this time?
“Yes, virtual-novel.net made a mistake, Eveline, but virtual-novel.net lost his memory and was under Lana’s control. That evil woman—”
“Even if Linnie forgives me, I still can’t forgive myself,” Jeremy interrupted Karen.
Staring at the divorce papers, Madeline took the pen and signed virtual-novel.net name at the bottom.
Karen sighed hopelessly as virtual-novel.net watched.
Jeremy’s heart fell into the void as frost began to shroud his entire being.
Pretending not to realize, Madeline took the papers and stood. She looked down and fixed virtual-novel.net bag to avoid his gaze. “I’ll have a lawyer process this immediately. You can visit the kids any time you want, but I don’t want Whitman Corporation. I’ll move out tomorrow. From now on, we are no more but strangers.”
She quickly turned and left, fearful that virtual-novel.net tears would soon betray virtual-novel.net desire to stay.
“Can I hug you one last time, Linnie?” Jeremy’s plea sounded from behind.
Madeline halted, virtual-novel.net hands balling into fists as virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes. However, all that surfaced in virtual-novel.net mind was virtual-novel.net now ruined home. Ignoring him, virtual-novel.net walked away.
Jeremy looked down despondently at the wedding ring on his finger before slowly taking it off.
The impression on his finger once the ring was removed was a testament to his reluctance to end this marriage.
Ever since virtual-novel.net married Madeline all those years ago, virtual-novel.net had never taken off the ring—not even when virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net died.
However, everything would end today.
Placing the ring on the coffee table, virtual-novel.net left silently.
Soon after, virtual-novel.net arrived at the police station and claimed that virtual-novel.net was the one who set fire to Montgomery Manor.
The chief superintendent recognized virtual-novel.net and thought that Jeremy was joking when virtual-novel.net confessed.
“Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were your parents-in-law, Mr. Whitman. How is it possible that you killed them? Plus, our investigations have already shown that the fire was an accident and not arson.”
The superintendent stressed, refusing to accept Jeremy’s confession.
Jeremy had always been an aloof man who hated repeating himself, especially when his mind was still in a daze.
Thinking that it might be the slow-acting poison, Jeremy went to the hospital.
He had not planned to care about it, for the two lives virtual-novel.net took were more than enough for a death sentence. He did not care if virtual-novel.net was sick, but the police station refused to put virtual-novel.net behind bars.
As such, virtual-novel.net went to the hospital and did a blood test. While virtual-novel.net waited for the results, virtual-novel.net found a familiar figure flash before his eyes.
