Chapter 736
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Felipe was walking in. When he saw Madeline, he walked over to her with a soft smile. âEveline.â
âWhy are you back so soon?â Madeline asked with a grin. However, she was looking at Felipe differently now.
âIâm worried about you.â Felipeâs eyes were filled with love. âLillian just left and you must be feeling sad, so I want to accompany you.â
âSad? Yeah, Iâm devastated.â Madeline smiled superficially. Then, she looked straight at Felipe. âCan you take a walk with me nearby?â
âOf course.â Felipe smiled and nodded. Then, he followed Madeline to the street that was filled with fallen ginkgo leaves.
There was a sudden gust of autumn wind and the yellow ginkgo leaves fluttered down like butterflies before falling to the ground soundlessly.
Felipe noticed that Madeline was not in a good mood, but he understood why.
Lillian was her child who she carried for ten months, and now, she was gone. Perhaps she would need a long time before this pain could heal.
However, since the wound was deep, he believed that Madeline would not give Jeremy any chances.
They stayed silent for some time before Felipe finally said something. âEveline, you have to stay strong.
If Lillian was here, she would want her beloved mommy to be happy and cheerful.â
Madeline chuckled sarcastically. âA lot of people have told me that. They hope I can be happy and cheerful, but the people who said those to me are also the ones causing me pain and misery.â
There was a strange look on Felipeâs face. When he turned to look at Madeline, she stopped walking.
Her clear and beautiful eyes met his ominous ones. âFelipe, do you remember how old Lily is?â
Felipe did not stop to think about it. âAbout four.â
âThree years, ten months, and twelve days,â Madeline told him an accurate number.
Felipe frowned in remorse. âEveline, you remember it so clearly.â
âI think every mother will remember everything about their children.â Madeline looked at Felipe, and there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes. âFelipe, do you still remember what was Lilyâs first word? Itâs âdaddyâ.â
Felipeâs expression became solemn and complicated. He saw probing and suspicion in Madelineâs eyes.
âEveline, is there something you want to tell me?â
âI want to ask you just how cold-blooded a father has to be to hire someone to kill his own daughter?â
A hint of slyness flashed across Felipeâs eyes. However, he remained calm. âI think Jeremy should be able to answer this, sinceââ
âOr maybe you do too.â Madeline interrupted with a sharp gaze. âDo you know Felicity?â
âI donât.â Felipe denied it.
Madeline smiled and took out her phone to open her album. âA woman you donât know was driving your car and she became Jeremyâs psychologist. Whatâs more interesting is that this woman looks almost the same as me.â
Felipe did not think that Madeline would know about this, but at this moment, he did not have any justifications for it.
âFelipe, is this the happiness that you want to give me?â Madeline was utterly disappointed, and her eyes had turned icy as well. âYouâre the person I trust the most and I never once thought about suspecting you. Iâve always believed you no matter what you said or what you did.
âIt was because I didnât think that a man who would risk everything to bring me back to life would do anything to hurt me. However, after all this time, I realized Iâve been wrong.
âFelipe, youâre so foreign and scary.
âYou even took action against Lily so that I wonât get back together with Jeremy.â
Felipe frowned, but he still remained calm. âEveline, Lily is our daughter. Even if I donât want to see you with Jeremy, I wouldnât do something so heinous. I think youâve misunderstood me.â
âThis isnât a misunderstanding.â Jeremyâs voice appeared from one side. âFelipe, do you still want to lie to Linnie now that it has come to this?â
Madeline and Felipe looked over at the same time to see Jeremy walking over with a serious expression on his face. Then, he said confidently, âLillian is Evelineâs and my daughter. This is the report I just got from the hospital and itâs stated clearly that your blood type is O!â
