Chapter 1090

When Ryan remembered what Jeremy told him before he left, he promised softly, “Eveline, I’ll do everything I can to make you happy.”

Madeline smiled and swallowed down all of her emotions.

Karen approached her happily when she saw Madeline coming back to Whitman Manor. “Eveline, Lana was arrested!

“She’s in a mob, so no wonder she’s so heinous!

“Hmph! At the end of the day, evil can never prevail over good. She’ll suffer the consequences of what she has done!”

It was obvious that Karen was in a good mood.

However, Madeline recalled what she saw in the video just now. Jeremy had put the handcuffs on Lana himself, and at that moment, that diabolical woman had an emotional breakdown before getting locked up behind bars.

Madeline knew she should feel happy, but in that second, she felt an excruciating pain in her heart instead.

In the early morning of the end of summer, she bought some flowers and came to Eloise and Sean’s graves alone.

After bowing to them, she murmured, “Mom, Dad, the person who killed you has already been arrested.

She’ll be executed very soon. I hope you can rest easy now.”

She felt the gentle autumn breeze on her skin that made her heart cold. Her eyes started to turn red from the wind.

“Mom, Dad, c-can you forgive Jeremy?”

When she asked this question, she could not control her tears from falling anymore.

She felt guilty.

She could not heal the wound in her heart regardless if she forgave or not.

Madeline stayed in the cemetery for a very long time.

No one was able to answer her question.

When she left, she saw a new tomb below Eloise and Sean’s.

She glanced at it and saw that the tomb was much shorter. Aside from the birth date, there was nothing else on it. Not even a name.

For some reason, she looked absent-mindedly at it for a few seconds more before leaving.

Madeline went back to the house she shared with Ryan. When it was nighttime, she made dinner in the kitchen robotically. While she was cutting the vegetables, Jeremy’s face appeared in her mind.

He was kneeling in front of her, his eyes filled with remorse and regret. He was begging her to forgive him for being manipulated by Lana and burning her house down. He was begging her to give him a chance to redeem himself.

However, she had refused.

On the other hand, she told him the thing she regretted the most was forgiving him back then and giving him another chance. As such, she would not forgive him anymore.

Madeline shook her head and forced herself to stop thinking about it. However, her heart still felt uneasy for no reason.

As she was spacing out, she accidentally sliced her finger.

She saw the bright red blood flowing out from her finger and just stood there motionlessly as she watched.

She recalled the blood on the tissue that she took for testing and Jeremy’s lingering scent on it.

What was going on?

Madeline felt her head throbbing in pain.

When Ryan stepped into the kitchen, he saw Madeline holding the knife while spacing out.

After he approached her, he spotted blood uncontrollably pouring out from Madeline’s finger. He quickly brought the first aid kit over.

Ryan was concerned and immediately bandaged her wound for her.

“Eveline, what happened? Why are you standing there even when you’re bleeding?”

When she heard Ryan’s voice, Madeline’s brain registered what was going on.

She suddenly remembered something and walked into the living room. Then, she picked up her phone and called the analyst who called previously.
