Chapter 669
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Felipe squinted his icy eyes at him. âWhat are you doing?â he questioned back in a cold voice with a dark expression. âEveline is already my woman. She no longer has anything to do with you, Jeremy.
Think about what you did to Eveline before. If it werenât for me, Eveline would already be a handful of ashes.â
Felipeâs words hit Jeremyâs heart hard.
If Felipe had not saved her, she would have gone to another worldâ¦
It was Felipe who gave Madeline the chance to be born again.
Jeremy seemed to suddenly have had all his strength sucked out of him. He released his grip on Felipe.
âJeremy, remember what you said. Donât disturb Evelineâs peace anymore.â
Felipe left a final reminder before turning around while carrying Madeline in his arms.
Listening to the furthering footsteps, Jeremy felt as if Madeline was the tide in the ocean that was slowly fading away outside the window. She had become his past that he could no longer reach.
Madelineâs fever had subsided, but her head was still feeling a little heavy.
She woke up from her deep sleep and felt that she was being carried by a man. She thought that it was Jeremy carrying her, but after a closer look, she found that it was Felipe.
âFelipe?â Madeline was surprised.
The coldness in Felipeâs eyes disappeared immediately as he lowered his gaze. He gently met Madelineâs stare.
âAre you awake? Your fever isnât completely gone, so Iâll take you home first.â
Madeline looked at Felipe in a daze, but she could only remember that she had spent the last night with Jeremy in a hotel.
In the middle of the night, she seemed to have gotten a fever. She had felt someone by her side, taking care of her restlessly. She even saw Jeremyâs face when she was still groggy from sleep, but it was Felipe who was in front of her now.
Felipe brought Madeline back to the villa and had his private doctor check on her.
After Madeline took her medicine, she fell back asleep again.
The moment Felipe closed the door and turned around, his eyes, which had always been gentle like a spring breeze, were suddenly covered with a cold current.
He walked to the study. Felicity had already been waiting for a while.
Seeing Felipe entering, she stood aside cautiously. âI really didnât notice that Madeline had been following Jeremy and I didnât expect them toâ¦â
âIf you would have thought of it, you wouldnât have been played in the palm of Evelineâs hand to the point you almost lost your life back then.â
Felipeâs gaze was contemptuous as the cold words were spat out from his lips. âThe reason why I allowed you to come back here alive is because youâre still worth using, but if you canât even carry out the task I give you, I will personally send you to hell.â
Hearing this, horror showed on Felicityâs face as she quickly promised. âI will definitely complete the task! I will gain Jeremyâs trust before his eyesight recovers!â
âRecover?â Felipe chuckled. âHe will never be able to recover his eyesight in his life, do you understand what I mean?â
ââ¦â Felicity lowered her head timidly. She really dared not look back at Felipe.
The look in Felipeâs eyes at this moment was even more spine-chilling and terrorizing than Jeremyâs eyes back then.
âDo you still love Jeremy?â Felipe asked.
Felicity did not dare answer, but her silence was actually the best answer.
Felipe chuckled. âWhat kind of charm does my little nephew have to be able to attract admirers like you who would risk their lives like a moth to flames?â
The moment he finished his sentence, his phone rang.
Felipe picked the call up, said a few words in a foreign language that Felicity could not understand, then prepared to head out.
âSettle Jeremy as soon as possible. Otherwise, I wonât have any use in keeping you alive.â He warned mercilessly.
Felicity nodded her head nervously. It was only when Felipe was gone did she feel less strain on her breathing.
After leaving the study, Felicity secretly sneaked into Madelineâs bedroom.
She opened the door and went in. When she saw Madeline who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, hatred instantly sparked in her eyes.
Looking at Madelineâs picturesque face, she clenched her teeth and stretched out her palms inch by inch, approaching Madelineâs neck. She was thinking of choking Madeline to death just like that.
