“Jeremy, although I don’t know what you’ve been through in the last six months, I know that you’ve had a hard time. However, I also wish that you can believe me. There has never been another man in my heart apart from you.”
Madeline tightened virtual-novel.net embrace. Although virtual-novel.net did not say anything, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net heard what virtual-novel.net said.
The next day, Madeline woke up early. She prepared breakfast and lunch boxes for virtual-novel.net children before letting the chauffeur send them to kindergarten.
After that, virtual-novel.net went into the kitchen to prepare some morning snacks for Jeremy.
Madeline received a call from Ryan just after virtual-novel.net finished breakfast. He asked to meet virtual-novel.net at the lawyer’s office half an hour later.
When virtual-novel.net asked Jeremy if virtual-novel.net wanted to follow her, virtual-novel.net happened to be on the phone. He told virtual-novel.net that something came up at the office.
Thus, Madeline headed over to the lawyer’s office on virtual-novel.net own. On the way there, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel overcome with a sense of irony.
She had once sworn to herself that virtual-novel.net would not get married for the third time.
However, Jeremy had returned. After experiencing the pain of losing him, virtual-novel.net did not want to continue resenting virtual-novel.net for everything that had happened in the past anymore. She just wanted to be together with him.
Therefore, after divorcing Ryan, virtual-novel.net would still marry the man whom virtual-novel.net had been loving deeply for so many years.
Madeline arrived at the lawyer’s office right on time. After waiting for ten minutes, Ryan was still nowhere to be seen.
She did not want to rush him, but virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was a punctual man. Madeline was rather worried as virtual-novel.net had not shown up despite it being long past the time they agreed on.
She called Ryan. The phone call went through, but his mother was the one who picked up the call.
“Ryan got into a traffic accident. He’s now at the hospital. Come over,” virtual-novel.net said. The tone of virtual-novel.net voice did not sound good.
Madeline’s heart lurched. “How’s Ryan now? Are his injuries serious?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Don’t ask so many questions. Come over first,” Mrs. Jones replied. She then hung up the call.
Madeline immediately drove over to the hospital. Upon entering the hospital ward, virtual-novel.net saw Ryan in a wheelchair. His right leg was put in a cast.
She rushed over to his side. “Ryan, are you alright? How did the accident happen?” virtual-novel.net asked worriedly.
“How dare you even ask virtual-novel.net that?” Ryan’s mother came into the room with a cup of water. She was obviously displeased with Madeline. “Let me ask you something, Eveline. You’ve been married to Ryan for such a long time now, but you guys have never shared a room before, right? You’ve never let virtual-novel.net touch you even once and now you’re asking for a divorce. Ryan got into the accident on the way to the lawyer’s office. How dare you even ask, Eveline Montgomery?”
“…” Madeline did not know how to respond to virtual-novel.net direct question.
There was no way virtual-novel.net could argue back on this matter.
“Mom, don’t blame Eveline. This has nothing to do with her,” Ryan spoke up in virtual-novel.net defense. He stared at virtual-novel.net with a gentle gaze. “I’m fine. You can go back first. It seems like the procedure can only be done in a few days’ time,” virtual-novel.net said.
Of course, virtual-novel.net had never thought of asking Ryan to complete the procedure while virtual-novel.net was injured. She stared at virtual-novel.net apologetically. “Take care. It’s fine to delay this matter,” virtual-novel.net said.
“What do you mean you’re delaying it? You still want to get a divorce?”
Mrs. Jones was infuriated and made virtual-novel.net way in front of Madeline angrily.
“I heard that your ex-husband has returned and you’ve been with virtual-novel.net for the past two nights. What do you take Ryan for? Eveline Montgomery, remember this. Ryan is your current husband!
“Fulfill your duty as a wife and take good care of Ryan! If something happens to Ryan’s leg, you will be the one to blame!” virtual-novel.net yelled, pushing the cup of water into Madeline’s hands. She then grabbed virtual-novel.net handbag and left the room.
“Eveline, don’t take my mother’s words seriously.” Ryan apologized. “I was the one who wanted to marry you in the first place. This has nothing to do with you,” virtual-novel.net said.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. She did not mind his mother’s words. She was now a mother herself, so virtual-novel.net could understand how virtual-novel.net felt.
Ryan could not move on his own, and no one else was here either. As such, Madeline stayed by the side of his bed.
Not long after, virtual-novel.net got a call from Jeremy. He asked virtual-novel.net how the divorce procedure went. Madeline told virtual-novel.net the truth, but virtual-novel.net could detect the unhappiness in the tone of his voice.
Although Ryan said that virtual-novel.net could return first, virtual-novel.net only ended up in an accident because of her. According to the law, virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net registered husband as well. Therefore, Madeline did not leave. She would stay there even if it was just to fetch virtual-novel.net water when virtual-novel.net was feeling thirsty.
Madeline bought some food for Ryan late at night.
Ryan felt rather apologetic. “You’ve accompanied me for an entire day. My father will be reaching soon, so you can go back first,” virtual-novel.net said.
“In that case, I’ll go back after your father arrives. Eat first.” Madeline took out the dishes.
Ryan did not refuse. “I want to wash my hands first,” virtual-novel.net said.
Madeline walked over to support Ryan’s arm. She helped virtual-novel.net into the bathroom step by step.
However, when they made their way out, Ryan’s left foot slipped and virtual-novel.net lost his balance.
Ryan had already injured his right leg and Madeline did not want to see virtual-novel.net injure himself once again because of her. She grabbed his arm in a hurry. At the same time, Ryan wrapped his arm around virtual-novel.net waist instinctively.
Jeremy, who had just walked into the ward, witnessed the seemingly intimate moment that occurred between the both of them.
