Chapter 779
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Felipeâs pupils shrank as his brain went blank for a moment.
The woman in his arms was already frozen, and her breath was so weak.
He took Cathy to the hospital as quickly as possible. Felipe felt a little restless while waiting outside the emergency room.
Thinking of the blood, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he did not want to think too deep into it.
Not long after, the doctor came out of the emergency room.
Before he could speak, the female doctor regretfully told him, âYour wife was left out in the cold for too long and has lost the child in her stomach.â
For some reason, Felipe felt a storm of emptiness in his heart. He then heard the doctor say, âAfter checking your wifeâs condition, it seems that she had another miscarriage a while ago. Her body hasnât fully recovered and thatâs why she miscarried again. If she isnât careful, itâll be a recurring problem.
Youâre her husband, so take good care of her.â
The doctor left after speaking. Felipe looked inside the emergency room thoughtfully, his eyebrows furrowed.
Cathy slept all night, and when she woke up the next day, she saw Felipe standing by the window. She then took a moment to register the strange environment in front of her.
She recalled what happened last night, vaguely remembering that she had passed out in the wind and snow.
Felipe heard the movement and turned his head to see Cathy awake. âYou donât need to do anything these few days. Just stay in the hospital.â
âThis is the hospital?â Cathy blinked ignorantly and looked around.
Felipe looked at Cathy who was confused and bluntly said, âYou miscarried.â
âWh-What?â Cathyâs just warming body was suddenly cold again. Her trembling hands touched her belly. She was unable to accept the result.
Felipe opened his mouth indifferently, and even his eyes were cold. âItâs good that you lost it. You and I shouldnât have children. Youâre not a match for me.â
ââ¦â
Cathy moved her dry and pale lips while looking at the man who uttered those words to her in disbelief.
âNot a match.â
Her heart ached as if it was being pinched by something. Even breathing was uncomfortable.
âRecuperate properly. I will have an important task handed to you in a few days.â Felipe left freely after speaking without the slightest reluctance.
Cathy squeezed her hand that was hidden under the blanket as tears fell silently onto the sheets.
The two lives that should have been born into this world⦠She had just gotten pregnant when they both became blood.
However, this man did not care at all and even said that it was good that she miscarried.
Cathy bit her lip until the skin broke and blood flowed. She did not feel any pain, because with this, her heart had sunk like a stone.
âFelipe, I thought that even if you were dismissive of me, you would at least have some affection and expectation for your flesh and blood, but it turns out that youâve dismissed all of it.â
She rolled up her sleeves and stroked the red string around her wrist.
It seemed it was time to let go.

Whitman Villa.
Madeline had not slept in for such a long time, and when she woke up, Jeremy was no longer by her side. There was only a faint residual warmth that lingered on the tip of her nose.
She went downstairs after washing up only to see Karen in the living room.
Seeing that Madeline had gotten up, Karen smiled coldly. âHow interesting. Sleeping until late mornings, do you expect me to make breakfast and serve this daughter-in-law of mine?â
âIf you have this free time, dear mother-in-law, I would be happy to taste your breakfast.â
âHmph!â Karen snorted. âI really donât understand what Jeremy likes about you. Youâre only just a little prettier. Felicity is no worse than you!â
Madeline smiled and asked playfully, âDo you know who Felicity is? Do you know of her background?â
âWhy would I care about her background? At least sheâs a better daughter-in-law than you!â
âEnough, enough.â Old Master Whitman maneuvered his wheelchair, entering from outside the house.
He looked at Karen with dissatisfaction. âIn what way is Eveline getting in your way? Even after so many years, youâre still fixated on her!â
âOld Master, you should ask what she did. She kidnapped Yvonne and me the last time and even slapped me!â
âEven if Eveline really did hit you, she must have had her reasons. As for you saying that she would work together with that horrid niece to kidnap you, itâs impossible!â Every word of Old Master Whitman was resounding. He still had full confidence in Madeline.
Madeline was touched and did not bother trying to explain anything to Karen. âGrandpa, donât be angry.
Itâs not the first or second day Iâve been misunderstood and accused. Iâve long gotten used to it.â
