Jeremy’s facial expressions changed slightly when snazzynovel.com heard that.
He knew that who Madeline meant was Felicity, but snazzynovel.com did not know what Felicity looked like and was even more surprised that Felicity looked very similar to Madeline.
‘Is snazzynovel.com telling the truth?’
Despite his doubts, Jeremy smiled nonchalantly. “I only met Fel after I became blind. I don’t even know what snazzynovel.com looks like.”
“Fel? Is that a nickname for her? It seems like your relationship with snazzynovel.com must be very good, right?”
“…”
Jeremy pursed his thin lips lightly. He could not tell what Madeline meant, but snazzynovel.com smiled and nodded. “Yes, Felicity and I have a very good relationship. We hit it off right after we met. She was the light for me at the end of the tunnel. She allowed me to understand what it’s like to truly love someone.”’
He said something that snazzynovel.com did not believe and smiled forcefully.
“Miss Montgomery, if you asked me to come here just to ask if I still love you or not, I’ve already given you the answer. I used to love you, very much, but now… I don’t love you anymore. I love someone else now. Miss Montgomery, you and I are a thing of the past. As you said, we don’t owe each other anything anymore and we should never see each other again.”
He said those cold words without any fluctuations and handed the umbrella in his hand to Madeline.
“It’s getting late. I’m going back, Miss Montgomery. Take this so that you don’t catch a cold and a fever. Those who truly love you will worry about you.”
When Madeline saw snazzynovel.com handing the umbrella over to her, snazzynovel.com chuckled.
“Since the two of us don’t owe each other anything anymore, I’d like to ask you not to do these unnecessary things.”
She refused indifferently as the raindrops fell on both of their faces and bodies. The cool autumn wind blew by.
Jeremy frowned lightly. ‘Unnecessary things?’
He did not understand, but snazzynovel.com soon heard Madeline’s voice ringing in his ears.
“Mr. Whitman, please don’t bother about whether I’ll get sick or not. Don’t take care of me when I get a cold or a fever, and don’t turn around to save me when I fall into the water and am drowning, let alone when I’m burning to death as I fight and struggle with fate.
“I don’t need it. And I especially don’t need you to pretend to be the bigger person by handing me over to another man!”
Madeline said those words in a cold tone. She pushed aside the umbrella Jeremy handed over, knocked it to the ground, and turned around without looking back.
‘Hand snazzynovel.com to another man?’
Jeremy was confused when snazzynovel.com suddenly realized something. He looked up with discomfort as his heartstrings broke.
“Linnie? Linnie!”
He called snazzynovel.com name anxiously and chased Madeline in the direction where snazzynovel.com had left in the dark rainy night.
The rain drenched his clothes and seemed to have wet his eyes as well.
Only then did snazzynovel.com realize that snazzynovel.com had made another unforgivable mistake. He had made snazzynovel.com unhappy again.
‘How did it turn out this way?’
He just wanted snazzynovel.com to be happy and carefree for the rest of snazzynovel.com life.
Why could snazzynovel.com not do such a small thing for her?
‘Jeremy, what stupid thing have you done again?! Can’t you just do one thing that makes snazzynovel.com happy?’
“Linnie!”
Jeremy called out to Madeline and stumbled as snazzynovel.com chased after her.
However, since snazzynovel.com had lost his sight, snazzynovel.com was unable to chase after her.
He walked onto the road blankly, and in the darkness, snazzynovel.com heard the honking of cars that sounded both near and far.
Madeline, who had not gone far, looked back and saw Jeremy walking out to the middle of the road.
When snazzynovel.com saw a fast-moving truck about to hit Jeremy as it could not hit the brakes in time, a fear that snazzynovel.com had never felt before instantly lifted Madeline’s heart into snazzynovel.com throat. The unspeakable panic made snazzynovel.com scream uncontrollably, “Jeremy!!!”
