Chapter 129

Madeline had a calm expression. “Mr. Whitman, please leave after you finish eating, it would be best if you stop coming back from now on.”

Jeremy smiled as he said, “Madeline, why do you need to pretend you want me away from you? You were so into it when I kissed you during the day!”

“Don’t mention that anymore!” Madeline said, losing control of herself for a moment. “Jeremy Whitman, you’ve disappointed me too much.”

“So what? It won’t change the fact that you love me.”

Madeline was so angry she felt like exploding. Her heart hurt, and so did her stomach.

“I loved you once, but now, even being touched by you disgusts me!”

Hearing those words, the food in Jeremy’s mouth stopped tasting good. He put down his utensils, getting up, and walking toward Madeline.

Madeline felt something was wrong, so she turned around to leave. However, Jeremy was much faster, with both his hands, he pinned her against the wall.

Madeline did not dare look at Jeremy, but he bent his head, deliberately getting closer to her, placing his handsome and evil face right in front of her eyes.

Feeling his breath drawing closer to her, Madeline was so scared her throat began to tighten. She immediately ducked down and tried to escape under his arms, but Jeremy anticipated it, grabbing her chin with his hand.

“Let me go!”

Madeline was extremely scared, ready to run at any moment.

Jeremy knitted his eyebrows. “Now you don’t want me touching you? Do you have someone new in your heart? Don’t forget, Madeline, I am your husband!”

“When have you ever treated me like your wife? You’ve never!” Madeline shouted at the man, her eyes burning. She clenched her teeth, refusing to allow her tears to fall.

“Jeremy, I don’t love you anymore. I’ve really stopped loving you! Please stop touching me, go ahead and touch Meredith. You love her so much, then just save yourself for her. Stop touching a filthy and despicable woman like me. You said it yourself, I’m not worthy!”

Madeline did not have anything left to say, she saw Jeremy a complicated look on Jeremy’s face that she did not understand at all.

“Madeline.” He suddenly said in a calm manner, reaching out to try to hold her hand. However, Madeline avoided it, not even looking him in the face.

Looking at her face that was still covered in bandages, and his expression slowly turned a lot gentler.

He bit his lips, wanting to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

He let Madeline go, picking up his phone.

When he looked at the phone, he hesitated for a few seconds before picking up.

Madeline was curled up against the wall, being terrified by the silence. It was also the silence that let him hear what was said on the phone, “Jeremy, come to the hospital quickly. It’s Meredith, she’s about to die!”

Meredith was about to die?

Madeline refused to believe those words. It was definitely another trick by Meredith, but she saw that Jeremy’s face changed immediately to one of concern.

He hung up and turned around to leave.

However, as he stood at the door, he seemed to remember something and pulled Madeline up.

“Jeremy, what are you doing? Let me go!” Madeline struggled.

“From now on, it’s best you don’t leave my sight.” His tone left no room for arguments as he shoved Madeline into the car.

Madeline quickly understood. “Are you afraid I’ll bring the evidence over to the police and report Meredith? Jeremy Whitman, you really are a bastard! You’re willing to ignore your morals for a woman like that, and you’re even willing to protect a murderer!”

Jeremy listened to Madeline berating her and suddenly roared, his cold hands clamping against Madeline’s throat. “Meredith has always been innocent and kind, she’d never do something sick like that! I won’t allow you to slander her!”
