Chapter 134
Madeline widened her eyes in shock. “Why did you say that?”
Felipe looked at her, dispirited. Then, he parted his lips slightly before stopping himself from saying
what he wanted to say.
“Nothing. I just think it’s a great pity.”
Pity?
Madeline felt that something was amiss, but she did not ask any more questions.
Some words would be said when the time was right. He might find her annoying if she kept asking. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
In the end, she opened the door and invited Felipe in.
“I heard about Brittany. I believe that it has nothing to do with you. You’re not someone who’s cruel and
cold-blooded.”
Madeline was touched that Felipe was always so trusting of her. He took a sip of his warm tea and
looked at Madeline’s pale face.
“I’ll keep your resignation letter. You can go back to work anytime you want.”
“Thank you for your trust and kindness, Mr. Whitman. However, I think I don’t have the chance to go
back anymore.” Madeline smiled bitterly.
“You can come back anytime as long as you want to.” Felipe’s answer was gentle, just like the
handsome smile on his face.
Even though he looked cold and elegant, when he opened his mouth, his voice was as gentle as the
spring breeze.
Madeline could feel his kindness. However, Felipe would never know that it was not her who was
refusing to go back to work, but in fact, it was because she did not have much time left.
She did not have a choice but to let go of her career in jewelry design and the people who she loved
most.
Felipe did not stay long. He left after a short while.
Madeline lay in bed and could not sleep. She grabbed a new diary and picked up the pen again.
A few days later, Madeline finally removed the bandage on her face. She looked at her face in the
mirror and felt extremely foreign.
The illness was slowly destroying her body and appearance.
She had gotten thinner and looked haggard. Her bony face made the two scars on her face look even
more disgusting.
Madeline put on a face mask and left the house with the bloody earring.
She was in a rush to get to the police station. However, the moment she got out of the door, she ran
into Daniel.
Since he could not contact Madeline during this period, he was extremely worried. Finally, he got
Madeline’s current address from Ava.
When he saw the ugly scars on Madeline’s face, Daniel’s heart was almost in pieces.
Then, he looked at her thin and haggard face. He was mortified and brought Madeline over to Adam by
force.
Madeline knew her condition and did not want the people she cared about to worry about her. However,
she could not win against Daniel, so she was forced to go for a check-up.
After they got the result, Adam’s face looked solemn. “Maddie, have you been throwing up blood
recently?”
“Vomiting blood?” Daniel’s scalp felt numb when he heard that. When he saw Madeline staying silent,
his heart felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss. “Maddie, you…”
Madeline smiled lightly. “Dan, don’t worry about me. This is just a common symptom of my illness. I still
owe you so much money. I’ll make sure to live so that I’ll be able to repay my debt to you.”
She smiled as if nothing had happened. Then, she gave Adam a look.
Adam understood and cooperated with Madeline. He got Daniel out of the room with the excuse of
doing more check-ups and stayed in the room alone with Madeline.
“Dr. Brown, just tell me the truth. How much time do I have?” Madeline asked bravely. She was ready
to face death with equanimity.
Adam sighed in regret. He did not hide anything when he said, “If you’re lucky, two months.”
Madeline was slightly shocked. “If I’m not?”
“If you suffer any triggers or the tumor decides to worsen during this period, you’ll have one month
max.”
Oh.
