Chapter 904
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
â¦
Perhaps it was due to the psychological effects that were brought about by this nightmare, so Madeline somehow felt a little discomfort in her stomach.
She went to the hospital for an examination. Jeremy had to chair an important meeting, hence he could not accompany her.
After the check-up, Madeline gave the test sheet to Adam who then read it carefully.
âEveline, Iâll prescribe another medicine for you. This medicine will not affect the fetus. Itâs mainly used to stabilize your emotions. Itâs enough for you to take one a day. You should not be working anymore in the near future so that you can get a good rest.â
Madeline knew that her mood as a pregnant woman would often fluctuate, and her dream last night was so vivid that she still remembered a little bit of it.
She nodded, thanked Adam, and went back.
When she had already left the room, a person leisurely walked out of the small room in Adamâs office.
Lana was smoking a cigarette, expelling clouds and mist. âIt seems the medicine is slowly taking its effects on her.â
Adam perused Madelineâs real test results. âYes, sheâll soon have hallucinations about the things she least wants to see.â
âWhat I want has never been impossible.â Lana raised his red lips with satisfaction. âNow what about Miss Montgomeryâs family⦠I could leave her with nothing overnight, and I want her most beloved man to belong to me completely. He needs to obey me sincerely and become obsessed with me.â
She puffed out some smoke. âAlthough.. Iâm not patient enough to wait for Jeremy to slowly become addicted to this. I want a faster method,â Lana said solemnly and began formulating her plan.
Knowing that Madeline would be raising her baby at home these few days, Lana would go to the company to look for Jeremy from time to time.
She would smoke her special cigarette every time, parading herself ostentatiously in front of Jeremy.
Jeremy was extremely disgusted, but this woman was using his care for Madeline to threaten him.
âJeremy, Iâm not a kind woman. I have money, and money can be exchanged for a lot of things, including lives.
âI want you to join me for a candlelight dinner tonight, or else there will be a news headline about two lives lost the next day.â
Jeremy was furious and pulled Lana by the collar.
âIf something happens to Eveline, I wonât let you live.â
âDo you think itâs worth using this life of mine in exchange for your wife and sonâs? If itâs worth it, then donât come tonight.
âJeremy, who made you so attractive to me? Iâm a truly evil and selfish person. As long as itâs something that I want, I must get it!â
Lana chuckled indifferently. After speaking, she took another breath and puffed the smoke at Jeremy.
Jeremy avoided it in disgust, but the strange smell had already entered his nose.
That night, Madeline had asked Jeremy to come to the Montgomeries for dinner after getting off work, but she suddenly received a call from him saying that he had an ad hoc video conference to chair and could not make it for dinner.
Madeline did not think much of it, but when she was playing with the two children, she suddenly received some news from Lana that was accompanied by a photo of Jeremy: [Eveline, your husband didnât need to hold a video conference at all. Heâs having a candlelight dinner with me.]
Madeline looked at the text on the screen and wanted to reply, but Lana sent another message again:
[Jeremy will tell you that he has a client to meet and will be coming back later, when in fact, heâs already at the last hotel we were at with a room booked. Heâll be ready to be gentle with me. If you donât believe it, you can come and have a look.]
Lanaâs tone and manners were even worse than Meredithâs.
Madeline did not want to believe it, but it did not take long before she actually received a call from Jeremy saying that he had a client to meet and would return much later. He also asked Madeline to stay overnight at Montgomery Manor.
As soon as the call was hung up, Lana sent another inciting message. It was a photo of Jeremy driving.
The superior side profile of that man could not be easily faked.
Madeline wondered if Jeremy had been caught by Lana like how she was threatened by Felipe at the beginning, which was why he was cooperating with that woman like this.
She rushed to the hotel, and the door of the suite seemed to have been opened specially for her.
Madeline hesitated at the door for a few seconds before opening it. As soon as the door opened, she heard Lanaâs coquettish voice. Madeline walked closer while holding her breath, and the scene she saw next made her speechless.
