Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1091 Ryan thought that Madeline’s behavior was out of the blue. He followed her and saw her calling someone. Then, in the next second, he heard her asking the person on the other end of the phone, “Dr. Gordon, I’m Eveline Montgomery. Can I ask you what’s the blood type of the blood sample you tested previously?”

Ryan heard Madeline asking this hurriedly.

He did not know what answer the person on the other end told Madeline. He only saw Madeline letting out a sigh of relief.

It was as if she had gotten the answer she wanted.

After she hung up, Ryan saw that Madeline was obviously more relaxed now.

She then continued preparing dinner for both of them. Then, they sat down and had their dinner quietly.

Ryan had feelings for Madeline and genuinely liked her. However, Ryan also knew that Madeline only admired him.

This whole time, she only had Jeremy in her heart.

Since she still loved that man, that was why she was still in pain.

After dinner, Madeline went to take a shower after talking to Ryan.

Ryan came looking for her again after a while. However, he only came to tell her that he needed to take care of some work-

related stuff before leaving.

Madeline did not know whether he really had work to do or if it was because he did not want to force her to do anything with him and that was why he left.

If it was the latter, Madeline would feel really bad about it.

She had been married to him for some time now. However, she still could not completely remove Jeremy’s name from her heart.

Madeline walked to the French window and looked at the moon outside.

‘Eveline, since he has decided to leave, then stop thinking about him.

‘Perhaps it’s the best for you to leave this man.’

She told herself before going to bed to rest earlier.

When she lay down, she received a call from Ava.

Ava sounded excited but nervous. She said, “Maddie, Dan told me out of the blue that he’s going to take me to his home tomorrow! It’s his grandfather’s 80th birthday tomorrow. Do you think I should go, Maddie?”

Madeline answered without thinking, “If a man is willing to take you to see his family, it means he has acknowledged your position in his life. Of course, you have to go, unless you don’t like Dan.”

“I do like him,” Ava said, but after that, she was shy. Then, she said weakly, “Stop teasing me, Maddie. Just tell me what I should do.”

Madeline pondered over it but could not find any related experience.

Before she got married to Jeremy, she had never met his parents. The first time she met Karen, Karen said that she was one of the Whitmans’ maids.

Now when she thought about it, Madeline could not help but chuckle as she had already made up with Karen.

Despite her divorcing Jeremy, Karen still genuinely treated her like she was still her daughter-in-law.

Madeline thought about it and continued, “Ava, just go. Ask Dan what the old master likes and prepare something for him. That should be enough.”

Ava pondered and answered, “Yeah, you’re right. I’ll do that, then.”

Madeline smiled when she heard the joy and excitement in Ava’s voice. “I didn’t expect you and Dan to be at this stage already.

Ava, I have a feeling that I’ll get a wedding invitation from you guys very soon.”

On the other end of the phone, Ava blushed. When she wanted to explain, she realized she was at a loss for words.

After all, Daniel had already announced to everyone that he was Ava’s boyfriend even though they had only become exclusive on that day itself.

The next day.

Ava got up early in the morning and changed into a decent and stylish dress.

Then, Daniel picked her up from her apartment on time. He had even picked a present for the old master beforehand.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1092 The moment Daniel saw Ava, there was a stunned look in his eyes.

“You look so beautiful today,” Daniel praised.

Ava felt her face heating up. She was feeling bashful but pretended to not care. “You’re saying I was ugly back then?”

Daniel explained quickly as his face turned bright red, “Of course, I didn’t mean that. I was just saying that you look more beautiful than usual.”

Ava turned her face away and was pleased with herself. She had never felt this kind of feeling before.

After she got into the passenger seat, Ava carefully looked Daniel up and down from the corners of her eyes as he drove.

The man’s side profile looked brilliant. He looked gentle and soft-spoken, but at the same time, there was still the same youthful look on his face as back then.

When the light turned red, Daniel stopped the car and turned his head.

Ava did not have time to avert her gaze before she met Daniel’s smiling eyes.

“You’ve been staring for quite a while.”

“...”

“That night in the hotel—”

“Dan,” interrupted Ava. Her face was smoking hot. “Dan, you’re not lying to me, are you? Was that really you that night?”

Daniel reached out his hand to hold Ava’s nervous and stirring ones. Then, he smiled. “Who else could that have been aside from me?”

When she got the answer, Ava felt the sweetness in her heart intensifying. However, she still had a question.

She looked at Daniel. When she was about to ask, Daniel said before her, “I didn’t ask you to be my girlfriend because I want to be responsible for you. I’m certain that I like you and I trust you feel the same way too.”

Ava looked at Daniel stupidly, her smile growing wider.

However, what confused her was how Daniel was so sure that she liked him?

Ava thought about this question the entire time until the car stopped.

She grabbed the gift that Daniel had handed her. When she stood in front of the gigantic mansion, she started to feel nervous.

A maid came up to greet Daniel. However, for some reason, her gaze became strange when she saw what Ava was wearing.

Ava was worried about whether she was dressed inappropriately. Before she entered the mansion, she asked Daniel.

Daniel looked at her and answered seriously, “You look gorgeous. I don’t think anything is wrong with your attire.”

Ava let out a sigh of relief and grabbed Daniel’s arm before walking to the door.

The old master’s 80th party was grand. Almost all of their relatives and family members were here.

Everyone was holding wine glasses, drinking, and chatting happily in the garden of the mansion.

Ava felt more and more nervous. She was attending this party as Daniel’s girlfriend, so she did not want to embarrass him.

When the guests saw Daniel, they started greeting him.

However, when they saw Ava holding his arm, some of them looked at her with weird gazes while some even started gossiping among themselves.

Ava felt the change in gazes and it made her extremely nervous.

At this moment, a young couple walked over and asked, “Dan, who’s this? Why is she so intimate with you?”

Daniel did not beat around the bush as he introduced, “This is my girlfriend, Ava Long.”

“Girlfriend?” The young woman looked at Ava profoundly before staying quiet.

Ava smiled back politely and felt that there was definitely something wrong.

She walked into the mansion with Daniel. The moment she stepped in, she saw a woman standing in the living room. Ava finally understood why those people were looking at her with such weird gazes earlier.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1093 What a coincidence.

Someone was wearing the exact same dress as her.

Even though it was not a bad thing to wear the same outfit as another person, the uglier one of the two would feel awkward.

However, this was not about appearance. The problem was that this dress was a brand’s limited fall edition and there was only one in the entire world. Now, they were wearing the same dress. This could only mean that one of them was wearing a fake.

Ava knew where her dress came from. When she noticed that the girl was not looking at her, she contemplated before letting go of Daniel’s hand and turning around.

“Where are you going?” Daniel asked curiously.

When Old Master Graham heard Daniel’s voice, he looked over while he was talking with a group of people.

“Dan is back.” Daniel’s mother beamed as she walked over. “Dan, didn’t you say you’re going to pick up a friend? Where are they?”

Daniel grabbed Ava who was trying to bolt and introduced, “It’s her. Her name is Ava Long.”

When Mrs. Graham saw Daniel holding Ava’s hand, the smile on her face disappeared.

Then, when she saw the dress on Ava, her face fell further.

Ava noticed the changes in Mrs. Graham’s expression. Even so, she still smiled politely.

“Hello, Mrs. Graham.”

Mrs. Graham replied coldly, “Miss Long, your dress is quite interesting.”

She was obviously mocking her. Then, she grabbed Daniel’s arm. “Dan, Naya is here. She’s just over there.”

Mrs. Graham pointed at a stunning young woman next to Old Master Graham.

This woman named Naya was the person who was wearing the same dress as Ava.

Daniel finally noticed this. At the same time, he understood why the guests had been looking at Ava strangely when she walked in.

Mrs. Graham pulled Daniel over, but instead, Daniel turned around and grabbed Ava’s hand to bring her in front of the old master. He introduced, “Grandpa, happy birthday. Didn’t you always bug me to get a girlfriend? Look, I brought her back today.”

Ava felt Daniel’s acknowledgment of her. Despite the unfriendly gazes staring at her, she still handed the gift to the old master with a smile and wished, “Hello, Old Master Graham. Happy birthday. I hope you live a long life.”

After the old master heard that, he ignored Ava and did not accept the gift. He looked at his grandson and said, “Daniel, Naya is back. I want to use this opportunity to set a date for your wedding.”

Ava was shocked by what the old master said. However, Daniel did not waste any time and said, “Grandpa, I already have someone I like.”

“Someone you like? Naya is the most suitable person for you and she’s also the person who likes you the most.”

The old master pulled the woman named Naya to his side.

“Naya is the only daughter of the Mendez family. She’s the best match for the Grahams based on her family background and education. You two often played together when you were younger as well, so you’re basically childhood sweethearts. It’s decided, then.”

“Thank you for looking kindly upon me, but Dan has already brought his girlfriend home. I think I should not cause any trouble,”

Naya Mendez smiled and said understandingly. Then, she gave Ava a friendly smile.

Ava recomposed herself and smiled back at Naya.

However, she then heard Mrs. Graham scoffing in disdain. “What girlfriend? The Grahams don’t have an embarrassing daughter-

in-law who wears fakes.”

Mrs. Graham glanced at Ava. “Miss Long, don’t blame me for being too straightforward. You should wear clothes that you can afford with your salary. If you can’t afford certain dresses, then you should just simply not wear them. However, you chose to wear a fake to the old master’s birthday party as Dan’s girlfriend. Who are you trying to embarrass?”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1094 Mrs. Graham did not even hold back as she berated Ava in front of everybody.

Ava did not want to argue with her. When she lifted her head, she caught a glimpse of Naya peering at her in contempt.

Daniel did not stay quiet as well. He defended Ava immediately, saying, “Mom, you’re too much. My girlfriend can wear anything and still be my girlfriend.”

“Dan, do you want to infuriate your grandpa today?” Mrs. Graham looked down on Ava. “The only woman in Glendale who’s worthy of being your girlfriend is Naya.”

Mrs. Graham looked at Ava arrogantly. “Miss Long, where did you graduate from? What do you work as? How much money do you make in a month? Do you have a house or a car?”

Ava looked into Mrs. Graham’s snobbish eyes and smiled. “I graduated from Glendale University and I’m an interior designer. As for my salary—”

“Alright, I’ve heard enough,” Mrs. Graham interrupted. “Interior designers won’t make over seven digits a year even if they work to death. However, do you know how much the Grahams make in a year? Miss Long, I won’t say anything more. I hope you can know your place.”

Ava understood what Mrs. Graham meant. She placed the gift down and looked at Daniel.

“Dan, I should go. Stay and celebrate your grandpa’s birthday with your family,” Ava said before turning around magnanimously.

“Ava!” Daniel wanted to chase after her, but his mother grabbed him. “Dan, that woman is not suitable for you.”

“Yeah, Dan. It’s obvious that she’s a vain woman who wears a fake branded dress and wants to go after you for your money.”

Daniel’s relatives chimed in at one side. One of them even opened the gift. “Look at this tie she bought for your grandpa. It’s obviously a fake. The real one shouldn’t have such rough material.”

Daniel was always calm and refined. However, at this moment, he could not control himself.

“I bought this tie overseas a month ago for grandpa. You don’t have to put someone down like this.”

“...” His relatives’ faces turned bright red.

“Also, I don’t care if my wife is rich or not. I won’t give up on this woman.”

Daniel left to chase after Ava after he said this. However, Ava was nowhere to be seen and she did not pick up her phone either.

After Ava left Daniel’s house, she switched off her phone after receiving a call she did not want to receive.

However, the moment she got out of the car, the woman at the airport that day smiled and walked over to her.

“Ava, I know I’ve wronged you all these years. Why don’t you consider going back to Y Country with me?” The woman flattered.

Ava walked past her coldly and went upstairs to her unit.

“Ava, it’s fine if you don’t want to go, but don’t stay in a place like this.” The woman handed two keys to Ava. “I’ve bought two mansions for you. You should stay there for the time being.”

“When did I ask you to buy me houses?” Ava handed back the keys to her and went into her house.

The woman followed after her. “It’s fine if you don’t like them. I bought one of the apartments near your company as well. You can move in anytime.”

“...”

“Also, I don’t think your boss is capable. I think—”

“Stop thinking,” Ava interrupted as she felt her head starting to ache. She was so scared that the woman would buy her company as well.

When the woman saw that Ava was unhappy, she felt anxious. “Ava, I just want to make up for—”

“Do you think you can mend our relationship with money?” Ava asked. “Just ask yourself what you’ve done when I needed you the most?”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1095 After the woman heard that, she did not know what to say. When she recalled what she had done, she felt her face heating up.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Ava did not want to spend any more time with the woman, so she went and opened the door.

After she opened the door, she saw that it was Madeline.

“Maddie, why are you looking for me here?” Ava was surprised.

Madeline felt relieved when she saw Ava. “Dan said you switched off your phone, so he got worried about you. Since I was just around the area, I dropped by to check on you.”

“Ava, you have a friend here. I guess I should go back now.” The woman did not force Ava anymore. Then, she left after glancing at Madeline.

Madeline had guessed that the woman from the airport last time was Ava’s mother, but she did not expect it to be true.

She had known Ava for so many years and this whole time, she thought Ava was an orphan like her.

When she asked about Ava’s family, she would only brush it off with a smile as if she did not want to talk about it.

However, from the looks of it now, it was not what it seemed.

Ava turned around and took out two cans of fruit punch before sitting on the sofa in exhaustion.

“Maddie, you must be confused, right? When did I have a mother who’s also the richest woman in Y Country?”

“...”

After Ava said that, Madeline was shocked.

However, after Ava drank her punch, she started crying in despair. “Maddie, if I could’ve gotten in contact with my rich mother back then, you wouldn’t have needed to sell alcohol in the nightclub and get humiliated by Meredith.”

Madeline hugged Ava. “You dummy, that’s in the past. Plus, I know you’ve always tried your best to help me. Ava, you’re my best friend.”

“Maddie...” Ava was still addressing Madeline with this name.

Madeline patted Ava’s shoulder, and when she was about to ask about Daniel’s family, her phone rang.

Madeline looked at the caller ID and saw it was from the lab technician last night.

She felt her heart tremble as a feeling of uneasiness rose in her chest.

“Maddie, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you picking up?” Ava looked at Madeline who was spacing out in curiosity.

Madeline came back to her senses and picked up the phone. The lab technician said, “Is this Miss Montgomery?”

“Yes, I’m Eveline Montgomery.”

“We have the results for the sample you sent that day. Are you free to come to the lab now?”

Madeline looked at Ava, feeling worried. However, if she did not go, she would feel uneasy.

Ava sensed Madeline’s dilemma. “Maddie, you should go if you have something to take care of.”

Madeline nodded and answered, “I’ll go right now.”

She got up, and before she left, she reminded Ava. “Don’t drink too much. It’s bad for your body. Also, call Dan. He’s worried about you.”

Ava smiled. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing personal. I won’t be mad at him. You should go now.”

Madeline left while feeling less worried.

She came to Glendale Advanced Laboratory. Then, the lab technician, Dr. Gordon, brought her to the lab.

Madeline was not an expert, so she did not understand the complex data. She asked, “Dr. Gordon, what are these things that you’ve detected in the blood?”

Dr. Gordon took out a set of data and said some jargon. Madeline did not really understand, but she understood what was said later.

“Basically, it’s a poison that’s harmful to the body,” the lab technician said, “According to the results, it has very rare components.

It won’t kill someone directly, but instead, it’ll torture the person slowly.

“For example, they’ll hallucinate and feel confused. Sometimes, they won’t even know what they’re doing, and eventually, the poison will seep into the blood and cells to cause trouble to the heart. In the end, the person’s genes might even mutate.”

“Genetic mutation?” Madeline felt that this was unbelievable. She did not know such scary things existed.

Hence, Madeline thought of a possibility.

“If there’s a possibility of a genetic mutation, does it mean that their blood type will also change?” she asked calmly, but her heart was racing.

“I was about to tell you this.” Dr. Gordon took out another set of data. “I told you through the phone last night that this person’s blood type was A, but after the research this morning, the original blood type of this person should be AB.”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1096 AB.

Madeline felt her vision turning dark.

This whole time, she had been suspecting whether the blood belonged to Jeremy, but when she found out the blood type was A, she felt relieved.

However, she did not expect that after the mutation of the genes, even the blood type would change.

Jeremy’s blood type was AB.

Madeline felt uneasy. She felt as if someone was stabbing her heart repeatedly.

“Miss Montgomery, where did you get this blood sample from? According to our research, if this person doesn’t get treatment immediately, he’ll die when the poison in his body reaches stage five.”

The word ‘die’ felt like a knife penetrating Madeline’s heart.

She did not have any injuries, but the excruciating pain was spreading throughout her body.

Even though everything was just a hunch, the pain in her heart told her that her hunch was right.

After she left the lab, Madeline started spacing out. She called Ryan to ask him where he was.

After he received her call, he could feel that something was wrong because Madeline’s voice sounded strange.

Ten minutes later, Madeline found him and was immediately frank with him. “Rye, you’re hiding something from me, right?”

Ryan did not say anything but knew what Madeline wanted to ask him.

Madeline walked to him and looked into his eyes. “The reason Jeremy was deliberately cold to me and the children is not just because he’s a spy, right?

“Is he sick? He’s so sick that it’s at the final stages and there’s no cure, right?”

Madeline grabbed Ryan’s arm while looking at his grim expression.

“Ryan, tell me, is Jeremy going to die?”

When he heard this, Ryan knew he could not help Jeremy keep his secret anymore.

He looked at Madeline’s red eyes and nodded lightly. “You’re right. He has an incurable disease, and his time is almost up.”

Madeline felt her breathing hitch at this moment. Everything was spinning, and she could not feel her heartbeat anymore.

She fumbled for her phone in her bag and pressed down on the numbers that she had long ago memorized.

It was Jeremy’s number.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Madeline looked at the screen of her phone as tears streamed down her cheeks.

She called multiple times, but in the end, she got the message that he had switched off his phone.

Madeline’s heart shattered into pieces.

His determination to not pick up the phone was to make sure she despised him.

‘But Jeremy, do you know despite my hatred and resentment toward you, I’ll love you even more?’

“Use mine. This is his number when he worked with Interpol.” Ryan handed his phone over.

Madeline quickly grabbed it. Jeremy answered the phone after a few seconds.

Jeremy’s voice sounded deep, but at the same time, he also sounded anxious. “Why is she calling me? Did something happen to her? Ryan, you promised that you’ll take good care of her for me!”

Madeline sobbed when she heard what he said. She controlled her emotions and said, “It’s me.”

On the other end of the phone, Jeremy was silent.

“Where are you? Jeremy, tell me where you are right now,” Madeline asked.

“Eveline, I told you I don’t want to see you or hear your voice. Stop pestering—”

“Jeremy, game over. I know everything,” Madeline interrupted him gently and sobbed. “Jeremy, tell me where you are. I miss you.

I miss you so much...”

After Madeline said that, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, Jeremy said in a deep voice, “Eveline, the sea of April Hill is so beautiful. I want to look at this view with you once more, but I guess I can only do it in my next life. Remember what you said. Stop crying for me. I hope you remember that Jeremy Whitman loves Eveline Montgomery, always.”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1097 After he said that, he hung up the phone.

When Madeline called him again, his phone was switched off.

Madeline started sobbing and sniffling when she saw the darkened screen.

She felt a thorn stabbing deep inside her heart. She could not see it, but it was making her bleed profusely.

Ryan held Madeline gently. He did not know what he could say to make her feel better. Perhaps nothing he could say would ever comfort the hurt in her heart.

Madeline cried for a long while, but she could not soothe the bone-piercing pain in her heart no matter what.

She tried to control her tears and emotions as she removed herself from Ryan’s arms. “Rye, I know it’s not fair to do this to you, but I hope you can give me some time. I want to find him, and if he’s really incurable, then please let me spend the rest of his life with him.”

Ryan smiled softly and wiped away Madeline’s tears gently.

“Actually, the biggest reason I married you is to protect you,” he said honestly, “I know who you truly love, so I won’t force you.

Go and do what you want. Go to him.”

Madeline lifted her teary eyes. “Thank you, Rye.”

After she thanked him, she left hurriedly.

Madeline contacted a lot of people she knew to ask them about Jeremy’s whereabouts. She also checked every flight but did not find anything.

She asked Ryan about Jeremy’s whereabouts, but Ryan only told her that he saw Jeremy buying a flight ticket to another country. However, he did not know where he was going.

Madeline stood at Glendale International Airport, looking at the passing crowd. Even though she was standing among a lot of people, she still felt extremely lonely.

She tried to call him, but she could not get through to him no matter what. Even if the call went through, he would not pick up.

Madeline sent several messages to Jeremy, but she did not know if he read them. The only thing she knew was every time she typed a message, she would feel as if she had already lost him.

Madeline had been looking for him for a few days now. However, she still did not get any information about him.

The more time had passed, the more anxious Madeline was. She started having difficulties sleeping and even her aromatherapy kits were not helping.

She was scared that she would not have the chance to see this man again.

She was also scared that he would only be alive in her memories from now on.

After searching for him again for another day, Madeline went to Whitman Manor. Karen was holding the four-month-old baby, trying to put him to sleep.

When she saw Madeline and her exhausted face, Karen felt her heart breaking into pieces. “Are you busy recently? You look so tired these few days,” Karen asked in concern, then she started complaining about Jeremy.

“I wonder where Jeremy went after what happened to Lana? Is he going to abandon his family? Is he waiting for that succubus to get out of prison?”

Madeline wanted to explain after listening to what Karen said, but she did not know how to tell her.

She could not let Karen be sad with her.

She could not tell Karen that Jeremy would die soon.

Madeline went back to the room she had initially shared with Jeremy. She wanted to look for the wedding ring she threw out and the letters they exchanged when they were young, but she could not find them no matter what.

There was only a wedding photo that had been ripped into pieces on the bed.

She picked the pieces up and tried to piece them back together, but she could not do it.

Looking at the handsome and radiant Jeremy in the photo, she held the pieces and started sobbing.

“Jeremy, let me stay with you, okay? Don’t leave on your own. Let me stay with you at least...”

...

Jeremy had not left Glendale. The flight ticket was fake as well.

He knew Ryan would not be able to keep his secret for long, so he decided to lie to him too.

He gave Ryan an illusion so that Madeline would think he had left Glendale and she would never be able to find him again.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1098 Jeremy had rented a homestay near the beach of April Hill. This entire time, he had been staying there alone.

Every morning, he would repeatedly read all of the messages Madeline sent him during this period. Then, he would go to look at the sea and recall the time when his relationship with Madeline started.

When he thought back to the past, everything was still fine. The only thing that was not fine was how his body was getting weaker and weaker.

Madeline stayed overnight in the mansion alone.

After she woke up, her heart started aching again after she looked at the man in the photo.

She went to look for Ryan to try to know more about Jeremy’s condition.

She tried to control her emotions as she asked Ryan, “Rye, where did the poison in Jeremy’s body come from? You should know, right?”

Ryan did not hide it from her. He said frankly, “It’s Lana. When he lost his memories, Lana filled Jeremy with memories that did not belong to him. She would give him cigarettes every day. The slow-acting poison was inside the cigarettes.”

Madeline was in disbelief. How could someone do that to the person they loved?

“Lana used this slow-acting poison to control Jeremy. She wanted Jeremy to stay by her side and be her man forever.”

Ryan’s explanation made Madeline’s heart ache even more.

He only got hurt and lost his memories on the ship because he wanted to protect her.

“Eveline, not everyone can love someone selflessly. A woman like Lana is certainly incapable of doing that. She didn’t love him.

She only had the desire to get him and dominate him.”

What a deranged woman.

Madeline could not endure this. She wanted to look for Lana, but Ryan stopped her. He did not want her to do anything impulsive.

What shocked Madeline even more was that the creator of this poison was the person she trusted the most—Adam Brown.

Madeline finally understood why Jeremy was so determined to stop her from eating the alleged painkillers Adam gave her the day before they got onto the ship. It was because Jeremy had already known Adam’s real identity.

Adam was one of the Stygian Johnsons.

He took orders from them and was obsessively doing all kinds of research that he was passionate about.

She thought Adam was helping her, but it turned out she was just Adam’s experiment.

Madeline was bewildered. Then, she drove to the place she and Jeremy used to live in.

The sky had turned dark during dusk. Then, it started drizzling along with the cool breeze of early autumn.

Madeline went into the house, made dinner, and ate all by herself.

After that, she went into the bedroom and started flipping through the torn photos flusteredly.

Jeremy went back to the villa after he left April Hill. When he got out of the car, he saw Madeline’s car at the entrance.

He lifted his head to look at the bedroom subconsciously and saw that the lights were on in the room.

He did not think that Madeline would still come back to this place, but he immediately knew why she was here.

Jeremy walked in slowly, dragging his exhausted body to the door of the room.

He looked inside carefully and saw Madeline sitting on the rug as she wept. She was flipping through a photo album.

‘Linnie.’

Jeremy felt his heart sinking painfully.

There was a pained expression on his pale face. He wanted to hold it in, but his throat suddenly felt extremely itchy.

He could not stop himself from coughing.

Madeline was looking absent-mindedly at the photos when she heard the sound of coughing from outside the door.

“Jeremy?”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1099 Madeline shut the album and ran toward the door suddenly.

When she got out of the door, she expected to see Jeremy but did not see anything at all.

Then, she heard a noise from the front door. When she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure.

Madeline’s eyes lit up as she chased after the person.

“Jeremy!”

She would not have mistaken him.

There was no other figure in the world that would make her heart race like this.

Then, she remembered what she saw at the door of Jeremy’s office that day.

The man who was entangled with Lana that day was not Jeremy.

She had been tricked.

It was just an illusion that Jeremy wanted her to see.

He did everything so that she would hate and resent him!

Madeline felt heartbroken when she thought about this.

She ran out of the door and saw the figure running toward the road. Therefore, she started chasing behind him.

Jeremy did not drive as he did not want Madeline to notice him. Now, he could only run to the road in hopes that he would be able to stop a cab and get out of here.

He did not want her to see him in this state.

She would be heartbroken and reluctant.

If that was the case, everything he did would be futile.

“Jeremy!”

Madeline’s screams came from behind him.

Jeremy continued running as if he did not hear her.

The rain was getting heavier, but the two of them did not notice it at all.

He continued running as she continued chasing after him.

“Jeremy! Stop running! Please stop running!” Madeline wailed and yelled after him. She knew she was unable to outrun him.

However, Jeremy still pretended as if he did not hear her. He pulled down his cap and walked to the road to stop a cab.

Madeline wiped away the tears and rainwater that blurred her vision. Under the lampposts in the night, her eyes were glued to his back that was getting farther and farther away.

When she saw the familiar figure getting into a cab to get away, Madeline sped up. However, since the road was uneven and slippery, she lost her balance and fell heavily.

Jeremy saw Madeline falling the moment he closed the door.

He opened the door again reflexively so that he could go out and help her up, but he stopped suddenly in his tracks.

Under the lampposts of the rainy night, Madeline got up from the muddy ground challengingly. She had twisted her ankle and also scraped her left knee. Blood started pouring from her knee.

However, she ignored her injuries. She bit her lip and tried her best to get closer to Jeremy while her eyes turned red.

Jeremy looked out of the window and saw the woman working hard to get close to him. When he saw that, he clenched his fists.

“Sir, do you want me to drive or not?” The driver was getting impatient. When he saw Jeremy looking at Madeline, he asked, “Is that woman with you? Should we wait for her? Aren’t you going to hold an umbrella for her?”

Jeremy closed the door when he heard that. Then, he shifted his teary eyes away from Madeline. “She’s not with me. Start driving.”

After he said that, Madeline got to the side of the car.

When she was about to knock on the window, the car drove away.

“Jeremy! Jeremy!”

Madeline chased behind the car as she watched the car getting farther and farther away.

“Jeremy, don’t go. Don’t leave me and the children. At least let me stay with you, Jeremy!”

The window of the car was rolled up and it was raining heavily, but Jeremy could still hear Madeline’s heart-wrenching cries clearly.

He clenched his fists and could not stop his tears from falling anymore.

“Jeremy, I hate you, but I love you even more. Do you hear me, Jeremy?” Madeline yelled hysterically at the car that was eventually becoming blurry in her vision.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1100 She sensed that Jeremy would never turn around to look at her again.

Perhaps this was their last encounter ever.

She hoped that he could hear her telling him how much she loved him. Her love was able to overweigh the hatred and resentment she had for him back then. Now all that remained was deep passion.

Jeremy looked at the figure in the rain that was slowly disappearing from the rear-view mirror. Then, he finally vomited the blood that he had been holding in this entire time.

Looking at the red liquid on the tissue, he leaned against the seat in exhaustion as his eyes started to look dazed.

‘Linnie, I heard you.

‘Thank you for not letting me leave this world with regrets.’

He curled the corner of his pale lips and lifted his left hand to look at the wedding ring that had returned to his ring finger once again.

Through his tears, he saw the ring dazzling under the dim light.

It was as if he could see the day he met Madeline through the sparkle. That day, she had crashed into him. The embarrassed smile she gave him when she lifted her head was so wonderful.

Madeline stood at the bustling crossroad for a very long time.

The rain had soaked her entire body, but she was already numb.

She lifted her head to look at the inky black sky and furrowed her brows.

“Why do you keep torturing me and him?

“Why do you make people who can’t end up together fall in love with each other?

“Why?”

She asked the sky and waited for an answer to an impossible question.

After Ryan received Jeremy’s message, he hurried over and saw Madeline standing at the junction in the rain while spacing out.

He took her to the hospital immediately to take care of the scratch on her knee and her twisted ankle.

Madeline was like a robot. She did not react at all.

Perhaps she had been in the rain for too long, she caught a high fever in the middle of the night.

Ryan stayed next to Madeline this entire time. At the same time, he also messaged Jeremy.

After Jeremy got news about Madeline, he started to feel restless.

He wanted to see her.

However, he was scared that she would notice him.

He got rid of this thought but could not sleep the entire night.

He was already not in good shape, but at this moment, he still had to suffer mentally.

The next morning, he sent Ryan a message to ask about Madeline. Then, Ryan sent him a photo.

It was a photo of Madeline’s temperature that refused to go down.

When he thought about how cruel he was last night, Jeremy internally yelled at himself several times.

After a while, he received a call from Ryan.

“You should drop by. She keeps talking in her sleep and calling out your name,” Ryan said before placing the phone next to Madeline.

Jeremy could hear Madeline murmuring his name lifelessly. She was saying, “Jeremy, don’t go. Let me stay with you...”

Ryan was staying next to Madeline. After a while, Jeremy finally appeared.

He came quickly and got into the room hurriedly.

When Ryan saw Jeremy, he noticed that he looked more haggardly than before.

Even though he was still handsome, it was obvious he had become thinner.

“She’s in the room and she’s still groggy. Go in and just treat this as your final goodbye to her.”

Ryan turned around after he said that. He then left the time and place to Jeremy.

After Jeremy got into the room, he held Madeline’s hand sadly when he saw her unconscious on the bed.

However, the moment he grabbed her hand, Madeline tightened her grip on him and grabbed him back.
