Chapter 1068

She looked at the man who had pushed her to defend Lana, and her heart felt as if it was being fiercely squished by an invisible pair of hands.

“Mommy!” Jackson ran to Madeline with worry, followed by Lillian.

Despite the pain in Lana’s stomach, she was able to smile cheerfully.

Karen hurried over to Jeremy. “What are you doing, Jeremy? How can you push Eveline that way?”

Jeremy’s long eyes were indifferent. His gaze swept past Madeline once more scornfully. “Why can’t I push her? She made my woman bleed so much. Me giving her a push is me being easy on her.”

“Your woman? This enchantress used you to kill Eveline’s parents and split up the two of you! How could you be with this kind of person and let her conceive your child?!” Karen could not understand Jeremy’s change in attitude. “Jeremy, how can you do this to Eveline?”

“Why not?” Jeremy’s fair face grinned. “She’s already married to Ryan. She’s Mrs. Jones now. She has no ties to me. If that’s the case, what right does she have to interfere with which woman I’m with? It’s my free will.”

His heartless words rang in her ears repeatedly as she felt quite suffocated.

After Jeremy said that, he went back to Lana to comfort her softly.

Lana leaned against Jeremy weakly, not forgetting to look up at Madeline triumphantly.

After some time, the ambulance arrived.

Lana was carried into the ambulance while Jeremy followed behind closely. Suddenly, Jackson sprinted out.

“Daddy,” Jackson called out to him.

Jeremy paused for a while but did not look back.

“Daddy,” Jackson called out again.

Jeremy pressed his lips tightly, and after a few seconds, he forced out the words. “I’m not your daddy anymore. From now on, Ryan’s your daddy.”

“Ryan isn’t my daddy. I only have one daddy.” Jackson ran to Jeremy and looked up sadly. “Daddy, don’t you want me anymore? Don’t you want Mommy and Pudding and Little Sister? Are you really going to leave us for this bad lady?”

Jeremy could not ignore the little face that looked so much like his own. He wanted to say something, but he felt that nothing he said would do anything.

When he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Lillian’s small figure standing not far away from the corner of his eyes. The little girl looked at him quietly with a trace of expectation in those big and round eyes of hers.

Jeremy swallowed down his reluctance silently as the corners of his eyes felt sore.

He did not say a word to Jackson nor glanced at Lillian. He walked toward the door, but when he took two steps, Madeline’s calm and ethereal voice sounded from the back.

“You’re right. It’s because I love you too much that I just can’t seem to forget you. So that’s why I still can’t wrap my head around why you’re acting this way.”

As Madeline spoke, Jeremy’s footsteps slowed down to a stop.

He still did not look back. He choked the sadness down and only parted his lips coldly after keeping his emotions in check. “Eveline, do you really want a reason for my indifference toward you?”

He smiled and turned his face away from her. The tips of his eyebrows curved upward, filled with contempt. “It’s because I don’t love you anymore.”

After he said that, he laughed sarcastically. “Mrs. Jones, aren’t you afraid that Mr. Jones will feel jealous if you say that you have such feelings toward me?”

Despite Jeremy’s sarcastic tone, Madeline did not mind it. She looked at his smiling face and asked him, “I gave Pudding a name. Do you know what he’s called?”
