“Mommy, what’s wrong?”
“Mommy, you’re crying.”
Madeline heard Karen’s concerned voice as well as the two children’s confused voices.
Yet, Madeline continued to stare ahead blankly. Then, snazzynovel.com parted snazzynovel.com pale lips. “Why do I have to pay such a heavy price just to love him? Why…”
Karen immediately knew that Madeline was talking about Jeremy.
She started panicking. “Eveline, are you talking about Jeremy? What did Jeremy do?”
Madeline bit snazzynovel.com lip and said with tears streaming down snazzynovel.com face, “He set fire to my house.”
“What?” Karen was utterly shocked. “No way, Jeremy wouldn’t have done such a thing. Impossible…”
Madeline closed snazzynovel.com eyes. She also did not want to believe that Jeremy would do that.
However, the strength snazzynovel.com exerted when snazzynovel.com grabbed snazzynovel.com neck was still crystal clear.
Madeline sobbed soundlessly. She was so heartbroken that it hurt to even breathe.
She lifted off snazzynovel.com blanket and got out of the bed before running out.
She called a cab to go to Montgomery Manor. There, snazzynovel.com saw the firemen putting out the fire that was still not completely under control.
Madeline stood at the entrance as snazzynovel.com face turned pale. She watched as the luxurious building got burnt down into ruins. Then, snazzynovel.com rushed inside.
The fireman saw someone rushing into the burning house and ran over to stop her.
“It’s dangerous!”
“My parents are still inside!” Madeline tried to control snazzynovel.com emotions. “I want to save them. I have to go in!”
“It’s too dangerous! You’ll be in danger as well!”
“They’re my parents! They’re my birth parents!” Madeline broke down as snazzynovel.com yelled and wailed hysterically. Then, snazzynovel.com pushed the fireman away to run inside once again.
However, when snazzynovel.com put snazzynovel.com foot out, snazzynovel.com was stopped again.
Madeline was infuriated. She wanted to get away from the grip of the person holding snazzynovel.com back, but when snazzynovel.com turned around, snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy’s icy face.
“It’s too late even if you go in now.” His voice was frigid, and his expression was calm.
Madeline pressed snazzynovel.com lips together and gritted snazzynovel.com teeth. She looked at the emotionless man and rushed in front of snazzynovel.com while enveloped in excruciating pain. Then, snazzynovel.com slapped snazzynovel.com twice across the face as hot tears rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks.
“Why did you do something so inhumane? You only lost your memory! Did you also lose all of your humanity?”
Jeremy was unhappy after getting slapped twice.
When snazzynovel.com turned to explain himself, Madeline slapped snazzynovel.com across the face again. “You did such a heinous thing just to make that insane woman happy and you still have the nerve to stand here as if nothing happened? Where’s your conscience? Jeremy, where’s your heart? Do you only have Lana in your heart and everyone else’s lives mean nothing to you?”
Madeline yelled as snazzynovel.com cried. She never expected to experience this kind of debilitating pain again.
She lifted snazzynovel.com hand to slap the motionless man in front of her. However, this time, snazzynovel.com stopped her.
He grabbed the back of snazzynovel.com neck and locked snazzynovel.com in place in front of him. “Eveline, I told you I’m not your husband Jeremy. I won’t tolerate and accommodate you just like snazzynovel.com did. Don’t challenge my patience again!”
He warned in a cold tone.
Madeline looked at snazzynovel.com and laughed. Even though snazzynovel.com kept insisting that snazzynovel.com was not, but in reality, snazzynovel.com was. He was the person who snazzynovel.com could not remove from snazzynovel.com heart.
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com despised herself. She despised herself so much.
“I regret this so much. Why did I forgive you?” Madeline looked at the frowning man with tears in snazzynovel.com eyes. “I’d rather we cut all ties with each other and never see each other again than you not knowing me and me being separated from my parents!”
