Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 497

Chapter 497

Madeline's eyes flared as she clenched her fists tightly, her tone sounding determined. "Lily is not related to you in any way, Jeremy! Stop your wishful thinking!"

Her control over her emotions loosened as she fought to deny. "It's because you hurt me so thoroughly, you b*stard, that I gave myself to Felipe. He was the only ray of light in the darkness you put me in!" Madeline met Jeremy's growingly somber gaze.

"Lillian is Felipe's and my child. She will never have a person like you as her father, so stop lumping Lily with the likes of you!"

With that, Madeline raised her hand to push away the man in front of her.

Without realizing how boneless his legs had gotten, Jeremy felt himself stagger backward at the push.

Madeline took her bag and left the villa without another look.

Sitting in the taxi she hailed to head home, Madeline's mind began to take a trip down an agonizing memory lane...

Picking up her weak body, Madeline had Ava bring her to Jeremy and Meredith's engagement venue.

Her heart hurt, but she managed to take the cold words of the man she loved and the hatred of her dearest parents with a smile until she could not take it any longer.

She was so certain that she had died in the engagement venue and she never expected Jeremy to act so out of character by rushing over to hold her, asking her what was wrong.

She had lost consciousness two sentences in.

She thought that she was done for.

Still, she woke again. This time in F Country's royal hospital with a gentlemanly and elegant Felipe Whitman standing in front of her.

He had saved her from her dying breath.

In F Country's royal hospital, Madeline underwent tumor removal surgery. The surgery itself was rather successful and Madeline was no longer in life-threatening danger. While she was physically alive, her heart had already been completely shattered. Her onslaught of memories made her life a living hell.

Then one day, the doctor told her she was pregnant.

Lillian's presence gave Madeline hope again, and she lived through her most difficult times with Felipe by her side.

The memories slowly came to an end with Madeline staring determinedly at the scenery of the night outside from the window.

She would sever all ties she had with the horrid man who hurt her!

...

Madeline arrived at the villa early every day to make Jackson breakfast before sending him to kindergarten.

Jeremy would arrive on time outside Madeline's shop in the evening so that they could pick Jackson up and return to the villa to make dinner.

Madeline would then take Jackson out for a walk after dinner but return to the villa with Jeremy in tow.

Madeline only left when Jackson had taken a shower and gotten to sleep.

Madeline remained indifferent when it came to Jeremy, but the latter was already satisfied enough as it was.

He had no other excuse or method to contact Madeline, so he saw what he had now as an immense gift from the heavens.

At the same time, Jeremy received a court notice.

Whitman Corporation was to be fined a thundering amount for the forced cease in a few partnered projects with RS and South America.

While the amount should have been dealt with by Whitman Corporation's finance department, it somehow ended in Old Master Whitman's hands. Unable to pay the debt, Whitman Manor was to be let up for auction.
