Chapter 538

Dissatisfied with Felipe staring at Madeline so affectionately, Jeremy stepped forward and blocked Felipe’s gaze. “Come out, I have something to talk to you about.”

Felipe smiled casually when he heard Jeremy’s words. He then turned to follow him out.

At the end of the corridor, Jeremy said to him bluntly, “Felipe, you may be able to deceive Linnie, but you can’t deceive me. You’re using Linnie to achieve your purpose.”

Felipe listened quietly without arguing. He smiled instead, saying, “That’s right, I’m using Vera. If it weren’t for Vera, it would’ve been really difficult for me to get Whitman Corporation and Whitman Manor so quickly.”

After he listened to his unremorseful answer, Jeremy bent his fingers with his knuckles starting to creak. “Felipe, you’re really despicable.”

“Despicable?” Felipe chuckled as arrogance flowed out from his eyes. “Aren’t you despicable as well?

You injured Vera till she almost lost her life back then, but now you want her back after seeing her completely transformed. Jeremy, it looks like you’re way more despicable than I am.”

In this matter, Jeremy knew that he had wronged Madeline.

However, he did not want Madeline back just because she had transformed as what Felipe mentioned.

He loved her. It was the secret in his heart that was not known or believed by others in all these years.

“When Vera wakes up and her injury is healed, she’ll immediately apply for a divorce certificate with you. At that time, I will send her and Jackson to F Country first.” Felipe revealed his plan to Jeremy, not caring if Jeremy would interrupt his plan.

Seeing the frustration and loneliness flashing across Jeremy’s eyes, Felipe’s smile grew deeper.

“My good nephew, it seems that whether it’s your wife or your son, you’ll never be able to get them back again in this life. Vera will soon be my woman and Jackson will also be calling me his father soon enough.”

No man could accept such a loss and change, let alone Jeremy who wholeheartedly cared and loved Madeline.

A coldness rose in his eyes as his gaze was now filled with intense aggression and determination.

“Linnie will only be my woman in this life. Felipe, don’t you even think about taking her away from me!”

“Really? Then, we shall wait and see.” Felipe smiled playfully before turning around to leave.

Jeremy wanted to stop him at first, but with Eloise suddenly running out from Madeline’s ward in a panic, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He immediately ran back into the ward.

Seeing Madeline lying on the bed with fluttering eyelids, he rushed to the bed in excitement and shook Madeline’s cool hand with pity.

“Linnie, Linnie, are you awake?”

Felipe followed him into the ward and felt dissatisfied when he saw the scene before him.

Then, Eloise called the doctor into the ward who suddenly realized that there were two more men in the ward. She looked at the doctor, asking, “Doctor, my daughter seems to be awake. Can you see if she’s alright?”

“Jeremy, get up first and let the doctor examine Eveline’s condition.” Eloise reminded Jeremy who was still holding onto Madeline.

Seeing the doctor approaching them, Jeremy let go of Madeline’s hand. At the same time he let go, Madeline slowly opened her eyes.

“Eveline, you’re really up! That’s great!” Eloise’s eyes were wet with joy.

Jeremy also felt the weight in his heart falling off.

Madeline blinked her large, hazy eyes warily before looking around.

The doctor quickly stepped forward to check on Madeline, but she avoided him vigilantly all of a sudden with a suspicious expression on her face. “What are you doing?”

Jeremy hurriedly went over and calmed her down with a soft voice, saying, “Linnie, you’ve just woken up after being injured. Let the doctor examine you. Don’t be afraid.”

Madeline stared at Jeremy’s face thoughtfully for a bit before suddenly fixing her gaze on Felipe who was standing by the door. “Felipe, who are these people? Why are they saying that I’m injured?”
