Chapter 868

“My love and obsession for you went away the moment my two children left my body.”

Cathy snorted.

“I regret falling in love with a man like you at first sight.”

Felipe scoffed. “You’re done regretting. Cathy, don’t even think of escaping from the palm of my hand as long as you live. You belong to me forever.”

His possessive eyes enveloped her and completely overwhelmed Cathy’s gaze that was filled with resistance.

…

In the next few days, Jeremy’s wounds started to recover slowly, but there was still a long way to go until he had a full recovery.

In these few days, Madeline would come to see him, eat with him, and feed him his medicine.

Jeremy told her that Felipe had not come and caused trouble for him in these few days. Those bodyguards had stopped crowding the door as well.

Madeline sensed that something was amiss. She knew Felipe would not let Jeremy off the hook so easily, so she figured there had to be something behind this.

Cathy listened at one side and did not say anything.

These few days, Cathy would appear in front of Felipe according to his wishes and stay the night with him. Then, she would go to the hospital as if nothing had happened.

She wanted to numb her thoughts. She wanted to tell herself that she was only doing this to help Jeremy.

However, whenever Felipe kissed her or got close to her, her body would start to accept him.

She felt that she was pathetic and lamentable. In addition to that, she was not worthy of pity.

How could she still have a soft spot for a man like him?

Felipe was focusing all his attention on Cathy this whole time, so he forgot that Madeline was still staying with Fabian.

When Felipe saw Madeline appearing with Fabian at the commercial dinner party during the weekend, he remembered there was something urgent he needed to take care of.

Madeline lifted her wine glass and smiled at the man who was walking over to her.

Felipe looked at her gorgeous face, and his heart started slowing down for some reason. “Eveline, are you going to abandon Jeremy? Are you staying with this man just so you can avoid me?”

“I feel much safer staying with him than with you.”

“Really?” Fabian approached her with a frivolous smile. “If that’s the case, then I shall put in more effort to pursue you.”

Felipe peered at Fabian coldly. Then, he focused his attention on Madeline again. “Eveline, don’t forget that you’re still carrying my child. Plus, I think you still remember Lillian, right?”

Madeline knew Felipe would threaten her with Lillian.

However, after tonight, Lillian would not be his bargaining chip anymore.

“Felipe, if you can do it, then do it. I don’t want to live a life where I have to fear everything again.”

Madeline’s nonchalant attitude shocked Felipe. “Do you know what you’re talking about? Lillian is Jeremy’s daughter who you gave birth to after so many challenges. Can you really ignore her just like this?”

“I don’t have a choice even if I want to care about her, right?” Madeline smiled and sighed helplessly. “I know you want to use Lillian to separate me and Jeremy or even get him into danger, so why don’t I just play along with you? If something happens to Lillian, then I guess my fate with Lillian will have to come to an end.”

Felipe watched in disbelief as Madeline said that.

However, he then realized Madeline was only saying that on purpose. As such, he laughed. “Do you think I don’t know that you’re only saying that to make me lower my guard? Eveline, you’re smart, but I won’t fall for it.”

“I don’t have the time to play with you,” Madeline said indifferently, “Felipe, let me tell you, if I have to choose between Lillian and Jeremy, I’ll choose Jeremy. Plus, our third child will be born in a few months. I don’t want my child to not have a father when it’s born.”

Felipe’s eyes went straight to her stomach when he heard that. Then, his eyes darkened. “Your child with him?”
