Chapter 1460

The man lowered his head and flipped through the photos one by one.

Madeline could not endure this. She got up to go over so that she could have a look at the photos.

The man was looking at the photos when he lifted his head to look at Madeline. When he saw the sharpness in Madeline’s eyes, he said coldly, “Why are you so excited?”

Madeline suppressed the sharpness in her eyes and answered as if it was nothing. “I’m just curious what the person with the same name as me looks like.”

The reason sounded reasonable, so the man did not suspect a thing. Then, he turned his eyes back to the photos.

“What do you think about this woman with the same name as you? Do you think she’s good-looking?”

Madeline looked at the woman in the photo who had undergone plastic surgery to look like her. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. “So-so.”

“So-so?” The man had no expression on her face, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

“Then, I guess your true face must be out of this world. If not, why would this kind of beauty look so-so to you?”

“…”

Madeline was speechless for the time being. Then, she heard the man asking.

“Then, what do you think about the man in the photos?”

Actually, Madeline’s gaze had never left Jeremy’s body. When she heard the man asking that, she started admiring Jeremy brazenly.

“He’s so handsome and looks so charismatic. He’s the most good-looking man I’ve ever seen.”

“The most good-looking man you’ve ever seen?” the man asked. There was a hint of change on his emotionless and handsome face.

He placed the laptop to one side and got up slowly. His eyes that were like the silver and cold moon met Madeline’s calm ones.

“Then what do you think about my looks?”

Madeline looked at the man’s face after she heard that. His sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, pink lips, and pearly whites were the rare sorts of exquisite and handsome.

“You’re pretty good-looking,” Madeline answered honestly, “I’m a little tired, so I’ll be going back to my room. I won’t be disturbing you with your tea, Mr. Carter.”

Madeline turned around after she said that. However, she still could not forget the photos she just saw.

‘Did Jeremy send Jack and Lily to school with that woman?

‘Jeremy, do you not know that the woman isn’t me?’

Madeline thought in desolation. She did not notice the eyes that were fixed on her from behind.

In the following days, she endured the pain to treat her injuries. Her face started to feel itchy and the doctor said this was the sign of skin forming scabs and becoming better.

However, when Madeline heard the word ‘scabs’, she started feeling nervous.

She could not imagine what the skin on her face would look like after the scabs fell.

She could only numb herself and hypnotize herself to stop overthinking. She would actively cooperate with her treatment every day.

On the other hand, Madeline noticed that the man named Mr. Carter was indeed currently investigating Jeremy.

‘Why is he investigating Jeremy?’

Madeline wanted to find out about this.

However, she could not ask so brazenly. As such, she could only find a chance to try and find a reason to eavesdrop.

As it turned out though, Madeline could not obtain information this way as well. She only knew that this man had been collecting information on Jeremy this whole time. As for why he was doing it, Madeline did not have the answer.

However, the man’s behavior made Madeline somewhat uneasy.

She calmed herself down so that her injuries would heal, and at the same time, she tried to figure out what was going on.

Madeline powered through while she was in this state for about another week. Then, the doctor came and told her that from today on, she could take off all of the gauzes on her face. She could live without being wrapped in bandages anymore.

Madeline clenched her fingers tightly and sat on the sofa anxiously. She felt the layers of gauze slowly unwrapping from her face while her thoughts were in a whirl.

After removing all of them, Madeline picked up the mirror on the side.

She knew that her face must have been ruined badly, so she was prepared. However, when she saw her appearance clearly in the mirror, all her defenses collapsed. At that moment, her vision went completely dark for a moment.

Was this… actually how she looked like now?
