Chapter 1680
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âI didnât expect to see you again.â He broke the silence in a light manner, but the smile on his face was no longer charming and looked a little desolate.
âHave you really decided not to appeal?â Jeremy went straight to the subject. âYou have the opportunity to appeal and I can help you find a lawyer so that at least you wonât be sentenced to death.â
âI donât need it anymore,â Felipe refused decisively. âIâve been obsessed for so many years and as a result, itâs all for nothing. Iâve had feelings for a woman for so many years, but in the end, I personally drove her to miseryâ¦â
He paused as he was talking, his brows furrowing with endless grief and melancholy.
âWe should let this end here.â
âGrandpa is still waiting for you to go back.â
At Jeremyâs words, there was a slight change in Felipeâs expression. Jeremy could see that Felipe was still a little reluctant to leave this world, but it was just that he could not spare himself when he thought about what had happened to Cathy.
âApologize to Uncle for me. I can no longer step into the Whitmansâ door.â Felipeâs eyes went red.
âYou still have a chance as long as youâre willing,â Jeremy repeatedly advised. Although Felipe had made a lot of mistakes, he did not have to die to atone for his crimes.
Felipe fell into a short silence when he heard the words, but after a while, he still refused.
âJeremy, Eveline, I only have one request. I hope you can spend more time with Cathy in the future.
Apart from Adam, Iâm afraid that thereâs no one else to accompany her here.â
âWhat do you mean?â Madeline asked suddenly, her tone straightforward and sharp. âShe still has two children to accompany her.â
As soon as he heard the mention of the two children, Felipeâs dim eyes lit up.
âThe two childrenââ
âAre yours,â Madeline said these two words without hesitation.
Although Felipe had already figured this out, he was still taken aback when he received such a certain answer.
The light in his narrow eyes became brighter and it was as though it had lit up his gloomy heart as well.
âSo, will you still stubbornly await death?â Madeline asked sharply.
Felipe was really stunned. He could no longer be as resolute and decisive as before. The light in his eyes that was getting brighter was the best proof.
âActually, I can feel that Cathy still has feelings for you.â
âReally?â Felipe raised his wet and red eyes that were full of expectations.
Madeline nodded slightly. She was not lying to Felipe, she just told him candidly about what she thought.
âIf Cathy didnât have feelings for you, she would not have taken the initiative to withdraw the courtâs accusation against you. Otherwise, with an additional charge of attempted homicide, you wouldnât be able to escape the death penalty at all.â
âIt turns out that Cathy was the one who took the initiative to revoke thisâ¦â Felipe sighed as he leaned back in the chair in exhaustion.
He closed his eyes and opened them slowly after a while.
âI want to see her again for the last time. Can you help me persuade her to come and see me again?â
Felipe pleaded.
Seeing the strong hope in Felipeâs eyes, Jeremy agreed without hesitation. âIâll help you arrange it.â
Felipe, who was sitting limply in the chair, immediately became more energetic. âReally?â
Jeremy nodded. âIâm a man of my word. Just wait, Iâll not only persuade Cathy to come and see you, but Iâll also let you have a special meeting. Just wait for me to arrange it.â
