Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 88

After she said that, it felt as if the air around them had frozen over.

Jeremy towered over the woman beneath him. “What did you say? Say it again.”

“Us. Divorce.” Madeline repeated without hesitation. Those two words were firm and clear.

The air became silent again. After a few seconds, Madeline heard Jeremy snorted. His eyes looked like

they belonged to Satan. They were dark and they looked like they were about to devour her.

“Divorce? Don’t even think about it!”

Those icy and bone-piercing words escaped from his seductive lips.

“Weren’t you so desperate to become my woman? I’ll fulfill your wish.”

Madeline could feel herself breaking down while looking at his sinister smile.

“I don’t need you to fulfill my wish! Jeremy Whitman, I want to divorce you!”

“In your dreams.” Jeremy rejected her with no mercy. Then, he pinched Madeline’s jaw. “You want to

divorce me just because you have another man? Madeline, how shameless can you be?”

‘Madeline, how shameless can you be?’

His insults were always so fluent. His eyes looked ever more sinister than before. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“You said you had my child three years ago and you blamed me for that child’s death. Now, I think you

must be pregnant with a bastard child back then! After all, you have so many customers. You even

have Daniel and Tanner. I wonder if you even know who the child’s father is!”

Madeline was trying so hard to suppress her emotions, but now, they started crumbling down.

Her hands were shaking violently. It felt like her heart that had just been stabbed. It was in excruciating

pain.

She gritted her teeth and her red eyes were staring intensely at the man who was mocking her.

“Hmph.”

Jeremy scoffed before peering at her in disdain. Then, he walked away.

“Don’t try to be pitiful in front of me. A woman like you deserve to be beaten to death in prison.”

Madeline watched as Jeremy walked further and further away. After she heard what he said, she finally

could not hold down the feeling in her throat. She vomited a mouthful of blood again.

Her stomach was still burning. Her tumor was also hurting. Madeline slowly curled her pained body up

and gripped the bedsheet tightly.

The pillow still smelled faintly of him. It was like the most lethal poison and it was slowly poisoning

Madeline’s heart.

She thought she would have the most memorable love story after she met Jeremy.

However, the only thing he gave her was the most memorable pain.

…

Madeline stayed in bed for the entire day and no one noticed.

She looked up the reason why she vomited blood. It might be acute gastric mucosal lesions. She

dragged her tired body and bought some medicine for herself.

She did not dare to go to the hospital. She was scared that they might find something bad again.

Worse comes to worst, she would still have at least a few month’s time.

Madeline was glad that this was the weekend. She changed the bedsheet and washed away the blood

she vomited. Then, she packed a few pieces of clothes before going to Ava’s place.

Madeline went to work as normal on Monday. Perhaps it was because of her relationship with Felipe,

her colleagues treated her pretty well except for Elizabeth. She was always behaving weirdly and she

had severe mood swings.

When it was lunchtime, Madeline took some time to give back Felipe his clothes.

Coincidentally, he was in his office and he was on the phone.

Madeline wanted to leave after putting the clothes down. However, Felipe gestured to her to sit down

and wait.

He finished the call quickly and Madeline handed the neatly-ironed clothes back to him. Felipe smiled.

“I didn’t think you’d actually wash it.”

“I have to keep my promise. Besides, you only got splashed with Meredith’s coffee because of me.”

“As a man, how could I watch a woman get bullied and not do anything?”

Felipe’s answer warmed Madeline’s heart. Then, when she recalled the man who promised to protect

her forever, her heart ached.
