Madeline had just stepped foot onto the plane when virtual-novel.net froze immediately after.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy screamed continuously.
“Linnie, don’t go with him!”
Carter lowered his gaze to look at Madeline who was beside him. He turned and used the corners of his eyes to look at Jeremy who was running up to them.
“Don’t bother about those irrelevant people. Let’s go,” virtual-novel.net said to Madeline, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net sped up.
Madeline wanted to turn around to look at Jeremy, but after hearing what Carter said, virtual-novel.net decided to follow Carter onto the plane.
When Jeremy saw that Madeline was not turning around, it felt as if his heart had plunged into a bottomless abyss. However, virtual-novel.net did not give up just like that.
He took large strides and chased after them. However, when virtual-novel.net was about to get close to Madeline, the door of the plane was shut tightly with a loud thud.
The heavy plane door separated them into two different worlds.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy tried to call out to Madeline again.
He knew Madeline could not hear him, but virtual-novel.net was clear that even if virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would not turn back.
At this moment, Jeremy did not have a choice. He could only watch the plane as it took off in front of him.
The only thing that made virtual-novel.net feel at ease was knowing that Carter would not do anything to Madeline.
Carter had a goal, but his goal was not Madeline, so virtual-novel.net would not touch her.
However, even if that was the case, Jeremy could not be fully at ease.
He went back to pack a light suitcase before getting onto a chartered plane to St. Piaf.
He had to take his Linnie home himself.
…
Since Felipe’s case was pretty special, the time for virtual-novel.net to appeal his sentence was brought forward.
The court commenced after a while. Since Felipe’s crimes were too severe, virtual-novel.net got the death penalty just like virtual-novel.net predicted.
While looking at the empty gallery, virtual-novel.net admitted to all of his crimes and gave up on his appeal.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net felt at ease.
Early morning.
After Cathy made breakfast, virtual-novel.net brought the children out of the house quietly.
Adam came out from the study after virtual-novel.net saw the door closing.
He saw the note Cathy placed on the table, so virtual-novel.net slowly reached out and picked it up.
There was only one line on the note. The woman’s beautiful handwriting was reflected in his eyes profoundly.
[Eat your breakfast on time. I’m taking the children to daycare.]
The handwriting looked so simple and so normal, but Adam felt something different.
He felt virtual-novel.net getting farther and farther away from virtual-novel.net despite virtual-novel.net hearing virtual-novel.net tell Jeremy that virtual-novel.net would not turn back anymore.
Yet, the person in front of virtual-novel.net was still Felipe. This was the man virtual-novel.net could not forget after so many years. Her not turning back might be another meaning for virtual-novel.net only having eyes for him.
The conjugal room in the detention center.
Cathy brought the two one-year-olds with her. She was staring blankly at the empty wall, but a lot of memories from the past were playing in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Those happy and unhappy memories were all in front of virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Mommy, where is this place? Why are we here?” the young and naive child asked.
Cathy lifted virtual-novel.net hand to touch virtual-novel.net son’s head, smiling gently and benevolently, “Juan, remember the uncle who helped you pick up the ball?”
The little boy blinked his sincere wide eyes. “That handsome uncle.”
