Chapter 1033

Jeremy had not expected that Madeline would be marrying Ryan.

He thought Madeline was lying to him, but after he opened the invitation letter, he did indeed see her and Ryan’s names.

“A second marriage so soon?” Jeremy asked with a smile.

Madeline looked at him coldly. “No, you’re wrong, it’s the third.”

“…”

“I have split from and reunited with you so many times, even getting married twice and divorcing you twice. When I was desperate to get the divorce certificate with you the second time, I thought you would be my only support for the rest of my life, but the truth has proven that we will not come to fruition.”

Madeline looked at the man with a smile on her lips, shooting an indifferent glance over.

“I’m really tired. When I was young, I had hoped that my parents would love me and adore me. After nearly 30 years, I’ve finally gotten it, but they have now left me forever. When I grew up, I married the man I loved the most. I had hoped that this man could love me like how I loved him, but reality woke me up severely.”

She turned her back to Jeremy.

“From then on, the man I most love is called Ryan Jones. I’ll become his wife and live the quiet life I want to live.”

Jeremy’s hand that was holding the invitation letter trembled slightly. He looked at Madeline’s decisive silhouette, enduring the pain of a thousand arrows piercing his heart to force out a smile on his face. “I wish you happiness.”

“Of course, I’ll be happy. Leaving you is the first step to my happiness.”

“That’s good.” Jeremy’s throat moved slightly. He was choking on his emotions as he stopped the words he wanted to speak and swallowed them into his throat instead.

He turned around and walked out of the room. The moment he closed the door, he leaned against the wall in pain. He took the painkillers out of his pocket with his trembling hand and ate them.

However, there was still an indescribable pain in his heart.

Karen was about to look for Madeline when she suddenly saw Jeremy who was leaning against the wall with a pale face and furrowed eyebrows. She hurried over.

Just as she was about to speak, Jeremy stopped her, turned around, and entered the study.

“Jeremy, what’s wrong with you?” Karen was extremely worried.

Jeremy was sitting on the sofa without saying a word. Seeing the fine beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead and veins bursting on the back of his clenched hands, he was obviously enduring severe pain.

“Jeremy, tell Mom, what’s wrong?”

Jeremy did not answer. After a while, he coughed. Dark, red blood stained his lips.

Karen was shocked and frightened.

“You, Jeremy… You’re vomiting blood! This… How can your blood be this color?!”

Jeremy had no qualms about raising his hand to wipe the bloodstains on his lips. He parted his lips gently, saying, “She’s going to marry Ryan.”

“What?” Karen was puzzled. “You mean Eveline is going to marry Ryan?”

Jeremy seemed to have not heard what Karen said and laughed softly in pain.

“She’ll slowly fall in love with Ryan and gradually forget about me, the man she used to love so desperately. She’ll soon become someone else’s bride…”

“Jeremy, Jeremy, what’s the matter with you? Are you ill? Don’t scare your mother.” Karen was panicking till tears flowed from her eyes. Seeing Jeremy’s discomforted appearance as he spoke to her, she also felt it difficult to bear.

Jeremy picked up the tissue and wiped the blood off his lips simply. Seeing Karen looking so worried, he found an excuse. “I’ve had a discomfort in my throat recently. It’s because I’ve been coughing more often that it’s like this. You don’t have to worry so much.”

“Is it really just that?” Karen still had her doubts. Even if it was coughing up blood, the color of blood should not be like this.
