Chapter 16
Jeremy finished watching the video, and there was a blank expression on his face. “Where did you get this?” he asked with a cold voice.
Madeline felt that it was preposterous. “Is where I got it from important? Isn't the truth that you're looking at more important?”
“The truth?” Jeremy lifted his head and deleted the video with a swipe of his finger. He even deleted the backup copy of it that was in Madeline’s album.
Madeline was beyond shocked by his actions. She ran over hysterically to take back her phone. However, it was too late. He had emptied the deleted album folder.
“Jeremy, why? Why did you do that? Are you unaware of how many people are criticizing me online now? That was the only video that could have proven my innocence!”
Madeline broke down.
However, Jeremy scoffed indifferently. “What does your innocence have to do with me?
Anything will suffice as long as Meredith is happy.”
Jeremy's question made Madeline speechless.
Her innocence and life had nothing to do with him!
He only cared about Meredith. Thus, even though that woman had done something despicable. to him, it was still tolerable.
It was all because he loved her. He was blinded by love: he loved her so much that he had no principles.
All of a sudden, Madeline calmed down. She looked at the man in front of her, and she could feel tears stinging the corners of her eyes. “Jeremy. would it be fine even if I were to be cyberbullied to death by netizens one day?”
Jeremy did not lift his head. “Would you die?”
His answer was cold. It was like a sharp knife that pierced her heart. Inch by inch, the gut- wrenching pain spreaded from her heart to her entire body.
Madeline clenched her fists. The man’s handsome face was blurry due to her tears. “Jeremy.
I hope you can be as indifferent as you are now when that day comes.”
Upon saying that. Madeline left and did not turn around. Tears could be seen rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She could just forget the wrongful devotion she had had for him throughout the past 12 years. She was in disbelief that she had fallen for such a man.
Madeline ran out of the building. and it started raining. She was in a daze and thus did not notice a car charging toward her.
“Screech!” An ear-piercing screech was heard as the brakes tightened. and Madeline lifted her head. Her vision was blurry because of the rain and her tears. Hence. she could only vaguely see a man getting out of the vehicle before running toward her. Before she could see his face, she passed out.
When Madeline woke up. the sky was dark.
She looked around her and realized she was in a refined apartment. Nonetheless, it was foreign.
The moment she sat up. a handsome and tall man walked in through the door.
After looking at him for a few seconds, Madeline asked in disbelief. “Dan?”
Daniel Graham smiled gently. “Long time no see, Maddie.”
It had indeed been a long time. Ever since Daniel graduated from high school. Madeline did not see him anymore.
“I asked my private doctor to take a look at you just now. He said you're fine.” Daniel handed Madeline a glass of warm water as he spoke.
Madeline smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry. Dan. I caused so much trouble for you.”
“It isn’t trouble at all. Everything's fine as long as you're okay.” Dan’s answer warmed
Madeline’s heart.
However, when she recalled what Jeremy had said, she felt her heart break once more.
Perhaps this was the consequence of delusional and one-sided love.
It was late, and Madeline wanted to go home. However. Daniel had ordered takeout from a five-star hotel. The entire table was filled.
Madeline did not want Daniel's good intentions to go to waste. so she stayed and had dinner with him. After dinner, Daniel insisted on sending Madeline home.novelbin
When the car arrived in front of the villa, Dan said out of the blue. “My doctor told me you're pregnant. Does Jeremy know?”
Madeline was halted in her tracks. She turned her head around and saw that the moon light was shining on Daniel's handsome face. His eyes looked kind.
“He does. Of course. my husband knows that I'm pregnant.” Madeline forced a smile and got out of the car. “Thank you, Dan. I'll buy you dinner next time.”
Daniel nodded and smiled. “I'll wait for you to call me, Maddie.”
“Okay.” Madeline smiled and waved. She turned around after she watched Daniel's car leave.
The moment she entered the house, a cold hand viciously grabbed and pulled her arm away.
Madeline had not seen it coming. and her nose crashed into the man’s firm chest. The next instant, Jeremy's frigid voice was heard from the top of her head. “Madeline. you're even more of a b*tch than I imagined.”
