Chapter 607
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
He felt disappointed and slowly walked over.
The gorgeous morning sun was a stark contrast against the azure blue waters. It also highlighted his delicate features.
Madeline was barefooted and sitting by the coast.
She had something in her hand. She looked down as a smile appeared on her face.
When she heard his footsteps, the sweet smile on Madelineâs face vanished upon seeing Jeremy.
âLinnie.â
Madeline ignored him, got up, and intended to leave.
Jeremy felt lonely and quietly followed behind her.
She was physically right in front of him, but she felt so distant from him.
âIn half an hour, thereâll be a boat arriving. You can leave then.â
Madeline heard Jeremyâs voice from behind, then she replied softly, âI know. Iâve already gone to check it out.â
Jeremy knew he could not make Madeline stay, so he laughed bitterly. âYouâre leaving for F Country with Felipe, right?â
âThatâs none of your business.â
Madeline stopped walking and turned around. She saw that Jeremy was looking at her with a gentle smile on his face.
âJeremy, do you know what itâs like to really love someone? If you love me, you wouldnât have done what you did to me. You donât love me at all.â
She rejected the idea that he still had feelings for her.
Although Jeremy felt deeply hurt by what she said, he still had a slight smile on his face.
He did not argue nor attempt to give any explanation.
âI love her, and it doesnât matter that she doesnât think so.â
They could now hear the sound of ships nearing the shore.
Madeline looked toward the source of the sound with a smile on her face.
She passed by Jeremy without the slightest reluctance.
âLinnie, can I hold you just once more?â He made a humble request to her.
Madeline gave him the side-eye and said, âNo.â
She refused his request with an indifferent tone before walking away.
The sea breeze blew at Jeremyâs eyes. He started tearing up.
Felipe stood at the bow of the ship and used binoculars to observe the situation on the small island ahead.
Sure enough, he saw Madeline and Jeremy by the coast.
âIt seems that the kid inherited your tricks. He knows how to strategize at such a young age.â Felipe put down the binoculars and smiled.
A man in black walked out of the cabin and went to Felipeâs side. The man respectfully said, âMaster Whitman, that woman has successfully arrived in F Country.â
âOkay,â Felipe answered.
âFollowing your instructions, she has been admitted to Royal Hospital. She can go for surgery at any time.â
âOkay, wait for my instructions.â
âWill do,â the man in black replied in a respectful tone before leaving.
On the island, Jeremy silently followed behind Madeline to the shore.
The ship was getting closer, and at the same time, Jeremy felt that Madeline was starting to get further and further away from him.
She was beautiful, but she was soon to be a beauty who he could never touch again.
âLinnie, I wish the best for you. I canât give you the warmth and happiness that you deserve, so I hope you can find another man who can give you that. Iâve wronged you.â
