Chapter 928
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
However, the pain continued to come in waves. Madeline suddenly felt that everything in front of her eyes was slowly becoming hazy.
Right at the moment when she was about to fall to the ground, she caught a black figure swiftly approaching her before steadily grabbing herâ¦
âJeremy, Jeremyâ¦â
Madeline kept calling out to Jeremyâs name unconsciously, and suddenly, she heard someone calling out to her with worry.
âEveline, are you awake? Eveline.â
Madeline opened her eyes abruptly and saw Eloise looking at her anxiously.
She looked around and realized that she was in a hospital.
âEveline, thank God youâre okay.â Eloise breathed a sigh of relief but was still worried. âWhy did you suddenly faint? I was so worried that you had an accident.â
Madeline thought about what happened before she fainted and her heart started racing again. âI saw Jeremy.â
âW-What?!â Eloise was shocked and thought that she had heard her wrongly. âEveline, did you just say that you saw Jeremy?â
âYeah. I saw him.â Madeline nodded affirmatively as a hot tear ran down from the corner of her eye.
âHeâs still alive. Mom, heâs alive. He didnât leave me.â
When she said this, Madelineâs eyes lit up. There was an indescribable sense of excitement in her heart.
âJeremy, as long as youâre still alive, I donât mind if youâve forgotten me.
âI will make sure you remember everything. I promise.â
Madeline thought that the black figure that ran toward her before she fainted was Jeremy, but after listening to what happened from Eloise, she realized that it was Ryan.
Madeline called Ryan to express her thanks.
After being discharged from the hospital, she asked Ken to investigate the Jeremy who she just saw.
However, she realized that the man was indeed Hans.
Lanaâs story of Hans seemed to match up. He was just a stranger that a doctor had done plastic surgery on to make him look just like Jeremy.
However, Madeline still would not believe it.
If Felipe was able to create a seamless fake identity for her back then, so could Lana.
Madeline wanted to get close to Jeremy again. She wanted to figure out what happened to him and why he forgot about her, but she did not get another chance.
After that day, Madeline never saw Jeremy again, nor could he be traced at all.
Since all of Madelineâs focus went to Jeremy, the progress of her designs all slowed down. She then received a call from Naomi asking about the progress of the wedding rings.
It took Madeline two days of concentration to finally complete the draft. After sending it, Naomi said that she was not satisfied and wanted to change some details and ideas. She asked Madeline to go over to her place.
Madeline asked her secretary to accompany her to Ryanâs place.
His villa was very luxurious. She was told that he bought the place for Naomi when he proposed.
The moment Madeline entered the place, she saw Jeremy standing by the swimming pool.
There was a burning cigarette between his slender fingers. Madeline recognized that it was the cigarette Lana had been smoking, but now, he actually started smoking that brand as well because of Lana.
It was also then when Madeline found out that Lana and Naomi were friends.
It was no wonder why Naomi targeted her the other day.
Jeremy felt that someone was staring at him. When he looked back suddenly, his deep gaze saw Madelineâs face.
When their eyes met, he merely looked at her for a moment while taking a puff of smoke lazily. The smoke that he exhaled blocked the view of the expression on his face.
She knew it was not the time to meet yet. Plus, Jeremy still did not know who she was.
Madeline resisted the throbbing in her heart, pretended to be indifferent, and turned her face away as she followed behind the servant.
However, as soon as she walked to the hallway and was about to enter the place, a strong force grabbed Madelineâs arm.
When she was about to push the hand away, she recognized the familiar scent.
The very next second, Madeline was pushed by the man against the wall. She raised her head and was met with Jeremyâs face that was very close to hers.
Madelineâs heartbeat quickened involuntarily. âJeremy.â
