Chapter 146
“Madeline!”
Jeremy ran to Madeline quickly and worriedly. He did not know how much fear and terror was in his heart when he yelled out Madeline’s name.
Madeline’s shaky body was being held by Jeremy.
Her legs gave up as she leaned against the wall to force herself to stand up. However, she could not do it no matter how hard she tried. Even her consciousness was trying to drift and wander.
Looking at the horrifying blood on Madeline’s lips, Jeremy’s heart leaped right up to his throat as he felt a fear that he had never felt before.
“Jeremy!” Meredith ran over while looking at Madeline who was on the brink of death. Of course, she felt carefree, but she was extremely displeased with how Jeremy was treating Madeline now.
“Jeremy, the guests are waiting. How can you abandon Mer and chase after that woman?” Eloise came over as well. She looked at Madeline who was vomiting blood with disgust. “It’s obviously fake blood. Jeremy, can’t you tell? She’s lying to you with fake blood. The reason she’s here today is to stop your engagement with Mer!”

Madeline’s consciousness started to drift, but she could still hear Eloise’s hurtful words.
Whatever.
She was about to die anyway. She would not feel heartbroken when she was dead.
“Jeremy, get away now! That woman has blood all over her. How filthy!” Eloise urged.
“Shut up!” Jeremy yelled all of a sudden. A horrifying rage had taken over his face that was as exquisite as fine art. Meredith and Eloise were petrified when they saw that.
“Madeline, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m dying, Mr. Whitman. Just as you wished…”
Madeline’s voice drifted into Jeremy’s ears weakly and vaguely.
Jeremy was stunned for a few seconds. His heart felt as if it was being gnawed by a million ants.
She was dying. How could it be? How was it possible?
Stupefied, he looked at the woman who was still holding onto her last breath. He saw her reaching out her hand with difficulties to grab his collar. Her out of focus eyes stared into him. It was as if she was using her last energy to move her bloody lips.
“The child… is yours. I hope that after I die, you’ll give her a name and let her soul reside in the Whitmans’ mausoleum. This is my final wish…”
After she said that, Madeline let go of her hand lifelessly on Jeremy’s collar and fell.
Jeremy stopped striding out of the front door. The debilitating pain overwhelmed his entire body and senses. His world was plunged into darkness…
“Maddie! Maddie!”
Ava’s heart-wrenching screams sounded next to him when he finally found his breathing and heartbeat.
“Jeremy, you scum! Give Maddie back to me!” She wailed, wanting to snatch away Madeline who was in Jeremy’s arms.
“If you won’t send her to the hospital, I will!”
