Chapter 1692
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
She took the child by his hand and walked into the prison.
Madeline and Jeremy were waiting at the entrance while holding hands. The warm winter sun looked brilliant, but it was unable to bring them any warmth at all.
After Cathy entered the building, she explained to the prison guard why she was here.
Due to Felipeâs extraordinary circumstances, the prison guard asked Cathy to wait outside.
While she was waiting, Cathy became sick with worry.
She wandered back and forth in the hall, waiting for a less regrettable result.
It did not take long for the prison guard to come back, but he only had an answer that made Cathyâs heart turn cold.
âMiss Jordan, Felipe said that he doesnât want to see anyone, especially you.â
Cathy was stunned. âIt turns out that Iâm the person you donât want to see the most right now.â
She smiled. âThank you.â
After thanking him, Cathy turned around but looked back again after taking two steps.
âHeâs about to be executed, isnât he?â
The prison guard glanced at Cathy and nodded.
With this definite answer, Cathy felt her vision turning black and even her brain was blank for a moment.
Madeline and Jeremy had been waiting outside. They hoped to wait a little longer because if they were here long enough, it would mean that Cathy had seen Felipe. However, in the end, Cathy came back out again soon after.
âIt seems that he has already made up his mind.â Madeline and Jeremy looked at each other. âFelipe has given it a lot of thought.â
âThen we shall respect his wishes and help him fulfill his last wish.â
âOkay.â
Madeline nodded. Suddenly, she felt a touch of warmth from the winter sun.
The days after returning home, Cathy would stay in her apartment in a daze and rarely went out. Most of the time, she would just be standing on the balcony tending to the yellow roses.
âFelipe, maybe you didnât know this but yellow roses also carry meaning.
âIt means Iâm still waiting for you.
âHowever, you will eventually leave me. Youâll leave me forever and ever.â
Cathy did not expect Felipe to be sentenced so quickly and would even be executed soon.
When she woke up early this morning, the sky was gray.
Cathy held the umbrella and walked to the flower shop downstairs. She bought a bunch of yellow roses as usual. When she walked out of the shop, the rain suddenly became slightly heavier.
Looking at the city shrouded in rain and fog, Cathyâs heart seemed to fall into darkness.
As her thoughts wandered, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Adam. Cathy answered and Adamâs gentle greeting sounded from the other end.
âAre you okay?â Adamâs voice was gentle and laced with boundless concern.
Cathy froze for a moment before speaking, âIâm fine. How about you?â
On the other end, Adam was silent for a while. âIâm fine too. If you have time, bring the kids over to hang out with me. I miss Juan and Jan.â
âIâll bring them over to play with you. Thank you, Adam. Iâll hang up now if thereâs nothing else.â
âOkay.â Although Adam was a little reluctant, he still ended the call.
Cathy looked at the dimmed phone screen. Then, the screen lit up again while she was in a daze. This time, it was from Jeremy.
For some reason, she started to feel dazed when she looked at the incoming call.
In the end, she still answered the call. âJeremy, whatâs the matter?â
âHeâs gone.â
