Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 142

After he said that, Madeline felt a warmth on the back of her hand

Jeremy held her hand tightly and forced her to sign her name ‘Madeline Crawford’ on the last page.

It was her name but in his handwriting.

After Jeremy was done, he swung her hand aside and pulled the papers away. He looked at the name Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

on the paper and felt an uneasiness in his heart. Not only did he not feel relieved, but he also felt an

abnormally heavy weight pressing on him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Madeline who was still on the floor. Her face was pale and there

were tears in her eyes. Other than that, there was also blood on her lips as if she had bitten her lip too

hard. She looked battered and pitiful.

Jeremy frowned. “Madeline, do you have any requests?”

“500,000 dollars,” she said without hesitating.

After Jeremy heard that, he scoffed in disdain. “It looks like you came prepared. I’ll ask someone to

transfer the money into your account immediately.”

After he said that, his phone rang.

When he picked up the phone, Madeline heard Meredith’s sweet voice from the other end of the phone.

She heard Jeremy reply softly, “Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.”

In the next second, she heard him turning around. Her remaining vision turned dimmer and dimmer as

he turned around. Then, it went out, and finally, all she could see was darkness.

She could feel something breaking inside her body at that moment.

The broken pieces were stabbing into her heart like thistles and thorns.

She looked up with her eyes that had lost their vision and stared in the direction where he left. At that

moment, she understood. Her pursuit and love for him her entire life was all just a one-man show.

‘Jeremy, thank you for stopping by.

‘I hope I’ll never see you in my next life…’

Madeline was ready for the worst. Even though she could not see her face and appearance, she could

clearly feel her body steadily deteriorating.

However, she still had one last wish before she died.

She wanted to see her biological parents before she passed, even though they hated her to the bone.

She stood next to the road and waved her hand to flag down a car. Finally, a car stopped in front of her.

However, the driver drove away quickly after they saw the two wretched scars on her ghostly pale face.

Madeline had no choice. She could only walk forward following the tactile paving on the side of the

road. Time after time, cars would stop for her, but no one was willing to give her a lift.

She gritted her teeth and continued walking. However, she did not know when it started snowing.

The coldness brushed past her cheek and went all the way into her heart.

Madeline took out the photo from her pocket and gave it a gentle kiss, cherishing it.

‘Baby.

‘My darling baby.

‘Mommy won’t feel cold with you here.’

“There’s a celebrity over there! Let’s go over and take a look!” An excited voice sounded from behind

Madeline.

Celebrity?

This should be a lively scene, right? It was a shame she could not see anything.

Madeline smiled pitifully. Then, she felt the people running from behind her crashing into her shoulder.

She stumbled forward. She did not fall, but the photo in her hand was gone.

The look on Madeline’s face changed. She squatted down and started feeling the ground around her.

Her hands were all covered in dirt and still, she could not find it.

Madeline was frantic. She was so frantic that tears started to escape from her eyes.

Jeremy drove past her coincidentally. He saw a lot of people looking at something from the corner of

his eyes. He merely glanced at them but when he was about to focus his attention back on the road

again, he saw a familiar figure.

He slammed the brakes and looked in disbelief at Madeline who was kneeling on the ground as she

searched aimlessly for something

Her face was as pale as snow, and she had a worried expression on her face. She looked so haggard,

seemingly having lost all the vigor that she used to have. Plus, tears were even rolling down her

cheeks.

As the tears rolled down her cheeks, it felt as if they were hitting against his heart. His heart felt as if it

was burning.
