Adam gave virtual-novel.net a firm answer. Even though virtual-novel.net did not tell virtual-novel.net who the man was, Madeline knew who it was in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Cathy and I were from the same university,” said Adam. When virtual-novel.net said this, Madeline could see that his eyes were full of youthful energy from his younger days.
“We were in the same faculty. She was cheerful and gorgeous, so virtual-novel.net was the most popular girl in the entire faculty while I was virtual-novel.net senior. We always did experiments together and even went to the library to read together. I know the person virtual-novel.net loved was Felipe, but that man did not love her.”
Adam said calmly. There was no resentment nor repulsion toward Felipe in his words. On the other hand, there was a slight smile on his face.
“I was surprised when Cathy suddenly came to find me in Glendale that time. I didn’t know you guys knew each other. I was happy to see virtual-novel.net again because virtual-novel.net left before virtual-novel.net graduated from university. I didn’t have virtual-novel.net contact, so I finally had a chance to contact virtual-novel.net that time.
“I knew virtual-novel.net wasn’t happy, but virtual-novel.net was always so optimistic in front of me. The private doctor Felipe had in F Country was actually my teacher. When Cathy was on the brink of death, virtual-novel.net notified me.”
As it turned out, they knew each other.
Madeline’s suspicions in virtual-novel.net heart were gradually solved. However, there was still something virtual-novel.net did not understand.
“If I’m not mistaken, Cathy was shot in the heart that time, so how did virtual-novel.net avert the disaster?”
Adam laughed and sighed when virtual-novel.net heard this.
“Cathy knew everything about Felipe, but Felipe didn’t know anything about her. He also didn’t know that virtual-novel.net heart is on the right side.
“Cathy did lose a lot of blood back then, but the bullet did not hurt any of virtual-novel.net vital organs and that’s why virtual-novel.net could safely make it out of peril.”
When Madeline found out what happened, virtual-novel.net felt that it was extremely fortunate.
“Thank God you were around.” Madeline lamented and praised, “Adam, you’re amazing.”
However, Adam chuckled in regret. “If I’m amazing enough, then Cathy wouldn’t be treating me as only virtual-novel.net friend. Even though I’m lying to virtual-novel.net and say that we’re husband and wife, virtual-novel.net still doesn’t have any feelings for me.”
Madeline could sense Adam’s love for Cathy. However, one could not control feelings.
“Cathy is living a good life now. I won’t let Felipe take virtual-novel.net away.”
“To be honest, Felipe is extremely remorseful. The person virtual-novel.net had been keeping in his heart had always been Cathy but virtual-novel.net had no idea.”
Madeline explained on behalf of Felipe, but after virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net did not have the right to say this.
Cathy had suffered so much and it was all thanks to Felipe.
The emotional and physical hurt virtual-novel.net suffered could not be wiped away with just remorse or apologies.
Madeline did not stay long. After virtual-novel.net thanked Adam, virtual-novel.net went back to Carter’s manor.
On the way, Madeline did not notice a car following her.
After Madeline went into the manor, virtual-novel.net felt that something was amiss.
When virtual-novel.net got to the living room, Madeline knew what was going on.
The young woman who called herself the matriarch of this house was now sitting on the sofa. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net eyes that were covered with a layer of delicate makeup and arrogantly sized Madeline up with disdain.
However, virtual-novel.net soon changed virtual-novel.net attitude from that day and smiled before greeting Madeline, “Hello, I’m Carty’s childhood sweetheart and best friend. My name’s Ada. I was rude that day, but I hope you won’t mind. I’m here to apologize to you today.”
She said and got up to walk in front of Madeline. She extended virtual-novel.net hand.
“Let’s be friends.”
To be frank, Madeline could sense something sinister behind the woman’s smile. However, virtual-novel.net hoped that virtual-novel.net was just overthinking. As such, virtual-novel.net reached out virtual-novel.net hand to shake the woman’s hand.
“Hello, I’m Eveline.”
“Uh-huh.” The woman smiled superficially.
Madeline smiled back at her, but before their hands could touch each other’s, the woman lifted virtual-novel.net hand suddenly and ripped the mask off virtual-novel.net face when Madeline was caught off guard.
