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.

Jeremy slapped her again, and Lana felt her muscles start to cramp from the pain.

“How dare you say that you’re the one who saved me?” Jeremy grabbed Lana’s collar and slowly took away her freedom to breathe.

The man’s eyes were dark and icy. Looking into his eyes, Lana could see the fiery flames of fury and the murderous intent in his frightening stare.

“If you hadn’t tried to get close to me so shamelessly and used Eveline’s trust of Adam to make her take the pills she shouldn’t have taken, I wouldn’t have needed to take her to the island.

“I know Eveline resented me at that time, but she still cared about me. As long as she gave birth to the child safely, I wouldn’t even care if she blamed me, but what did you do instead?”

Jeremy’s eyes became sharp.

“You wanted to kill her.

“You wanted to kill my Linnie!”

“Jeremy, l-let go…” Lana’s face was red, and Jeremy’s grip around her neck was getting tighter and tighter.

“For the sake of Madeline and the children’s safety, I was forced to ask her to leave the ship with the children. I knew that Linnie was in a lot of pain and was reluctant to let me go, but she had to. I could imagine how much pain she was in when she thought I had died at sea.

“However, I didn’t die. I was saved by an evil woman like you out of your ‘so-called’ kindness. You even manipulated my memory loss and made me believe that we were dating. Heh, dating?”

There was a look of mockery in Jeremy’s eyes.

“Lana, you’re pathetic. Even though I had lost my memories and even though I thought you were my woman, I never once touched you at all!”

“…” Lana did not expect Jeremy to mock and humiliate her at this moment. In her torment, she felt humiliated as well.

She was extremely confident ever since she was young and thought all men would be attracted to her.

Even if it was not all men in the world, at least the men she was into would worship her like she was a goddess.

However, Jeremy was an exception. No matter how she tempted him, he was still like an iceberg who was unable to be melted by her charm and passion.

Naomi was shaking in fear as she listened to every word. She knew Jeremy’s target was Lana, so she pretended to pass out and play dead at one side.

When Lana thought Jeremy was going to suffocate her, he let go of his hand.

“Cough, cough!” Lana lay on the ground in a fetal position while coughing violently.

However, after wheezing and gasping for air for a moment, she was smacked in the face with a pack of cigarettes.
