“Perhaps people like me should have just dropped dead for good. Last time, I harmed you and made you suffer so much. Now, I’ve harmed our daughter. I’m not even a human!”
Jeremy hated himself. He raised his fist again and drove it straight to the wall, ignoring the pain that came flooding a second after.
“Don’t bother about me, Linnie. Please stop loving someone like me, a cold-hearted man who never appreciates his beloved wife and daughter. I don’t deserve to have you guys. You and the kids should find a reliable man and forget about me.”
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net gaze as soon as virtual-novel.net was done talking.
Her eyes went red. She raised virtual-novel.net hand and slapped virtual-novel.net across the face. “Do you have any idea what you’re babbling on about? Jeremy Whitman, are you still trying to break my heart up to this date? In my entire life, except for you, who else can I fall in love with?! You tell me, what should I do to completely forget about you? Tell me!”
Madeline shouted while feeling heartbroken. It was as if there were millions of ants biting on virtual-novel.net heart.
Jeremy tilted his face. He felt ashamed to face Madeline after hearing virtual-novel.net words.
Madeline fixed virtual-novel.net gaze upon the man before virtual-novel.net who was choking silently. “Talk, Jeremy. Tell me, what should I do?”
As soon as virtual-novel.net was done speaking, Jeremy suddenly got down on his knees.
“I’m sorry, Linnie. Why am I always doing things that will hurt you? Why…”
Madeline could not bear to see virtual-novel.net breaking down.
She suppressed the urge to cry because virtual-novel.net knew Jeremy was enduring tremendous pressure within him.
She squatted, and in virtual-novel.net eyes was no longer a sharp ray. There was only passion and concern in them as virtual-novel.net said, “Look at me, Jeremy.”
Madeline held his face like virtual-novel.net was comforting a kid. She spoke to the man with utter patience, “I know you’re very concerned about Lillian. No one’s going to blame you, and you need not blame yourself. Lillian will not blame you as well.”
“Even though Lillian is still young, she’ll still understand. You’re virtual-novel.net only father. I know that you must have a reason for treating Lillian coldly ever since you came back. However, I hope that you won’t be so cold to virtual-novel.net again after virtual-novel.net wakes up.
“Jeremy, we’re one family, a very close one. No matter what’s going to happen in the future, we should not be separated again, alright?”
Jeremy could not help but choke as tears came streaming down his face.
“Linnie.” He hugged virtual-novel.net tightly. “We’ll never be apart, never again.”
“Alright,” Madeline answered Jeremy’s promise, virtual-novel.net eyes filling with tears.
She had never seen Jeremy fall apart. Perhaps back when virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was dead, virtual-novel.net had also been like this as well. However, after witnessing it for herself, virtual-novel.net could feel an intense pain deep in virtual-novel.net heart.
Jeremy and Madeline went back to Lillian’s room. She was still sound asleep.
Jeremy got Madeline to go back home first while virtual-novel.net would remain to guard Lillian.
Madeline did not want Jeremy to overwork himself, but virtual-novel.net wanted to head home to get some daily necessities. Besides, virtual-novel.net had to make a trip to the laboratory.
In the shortest time, virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net way to Glendale’s laboratory and gave one of the two reagents that Adam gave virtual-novel.net to be researched.
She did not trust Ryan or Adam. Hence, virtual-novel.net needed to check for herself whether it was safe to be used.
On the next day, Madeline took all the daily necessities and headed to the hospital. Just when virtual-novel.net reached the parking lot, virtual-novel.net received a call from the laboratory.
She answered the call while walking to the elevator. Suddenly, a lady with a slim figure seemed to pass by Madeline on purpose and even knocked into virtual-novel.net shoulder.
“I’m sorry.” The lady turned around to apologize. There was a big pair of sunglasses that covered virtual-novel.net face. However, the moment virtual-novel.net spoke, Madeline immediately came to a realization.
“It’s you?!”
