Chapter 987

“Linnie…”

“Stop calling my name. I don’t want to see you,” Madeline interrupted him and wiped away her tears.

“I never blamed you for forgetting me. I know you only got hurt because you wanted to save me and that’s how Lana got the chance to manipulate you. However, it doesn’t excuse your lack of humanity that let you kill my parents!”

“Jeremy, I don’t know how to face you anymore. When I see you, I’ll think of my dead parents, but I can’t avenge them. Do you understand how I feel?”

Madeline took a deep breath and picked up the innocent baby from the sofa before leaving the lounge.

Jeremy knelt on the ground, his brain replaying what Madeline’s words. At this moment, he felt as if a thousand knives were slicing through his heart.

If possible, he really wanted to exchange his life with the lives of Eloise and Sean.

He would do anything to repent just to make her feel better.

‘But Linnie, you won’t give me another chance to repent and apologize anymore.’

After Madeline left the lounge, she walked forward.

When she walked past the stairs, she heard Ryan’s voice. “Stop wasting my time on this kind of thing.

Watch your people closely and don’t let this happen again.”

After Madeline heard that and wanted to walk away, Ryan finished his call and walked out from the staircase coincidentally.

When he saw Madeline, he was surprised. However, his smile was warm. When he saw her red and teary eyes, he asked in concern, “Are you okay, Mrs. Whitman?”

Madeline shook her head. “I’m immune to everything now. I won’t allow myself to collapse for the sake of the children.”

“Okay.” Ryan seemed to admire Madeline’s strength. He looked at the baby in Madeline’s arms. “Can I hold him?”

“Of course.”

Madeline handed the baby over gently, but it was obvious Ryan had never held a baby before. After a while, he handed the baby back to Madeline.

“It’s better if you do it. I’m worried that I’ll hurt the baby.” Ryan smiled softly. “Right, what’s his name?”

When she heard this, Madeline felt an ache in her heart.

She had wanted to wait for Jeremy to remember so that he could name the child.

However…

“He doesn’t have a name yet.” Madeline smiled.

Ryan did not ask any more questions and only smiled. “I heard your eyes were affected when you got hurt that day. I was relieved when I saw you fight those women just now.”

“It’s true that I couldn’t see previously. Perhaps I was triggered in some ways, so I regained my vision a few days ago,” Madeline explained. She recalled how devastated and emotional she felt the day Jeremy came to the hospital to visit her.

After she threw the divorce papers at him, she left the room.

A while after she left, she realized she could see again.

Ryan nodded like he was in deep thought. Then, he said ruefully, “I really didn’t know that Lana’s Hans Zimmerman is your husband, Jeremy Whitman. I know that Jeremy is well-known in Glendale, but I’ve never seen him before.”

He said and started reminiscing, “That summer after I graduated from high school, I went overseas to further my education and only came back not long ago. My parents hope that I’ll have a family soon so that I can inherit the family fortune and business. However, I much prefer painting.”
