Jeremy focused all of his attention on the colorful shell.
Suddenly, the same image appeared in his brain again.
Under the hot summer sun, snazzynovel.com had his back against a little girl as snazzynovel.com ran along the beach hurriedly.
The little girl circled snazzynovel.com arms around his neck and called out to snazzynovel.com sweetly…
Slap!
When Jeremy was immersed in his flashbacks and was about to hear the little girl calling out his name, snazzynovel.com received another heavy slap from Madeline.
Madeline ripped snazzynovel.com necklace away from snazzynovel.com neck in front of Jeremy and threw it on the ground.
“I should just forget about you. You didn’t kill my parents, I did! I shouldn’t have forgiven you and I shouldn’t have given you a chance to start over!”
She pushed snazzynovel.com away and started running.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back before squatting down to pick up the smashed shell necklace.
It was such a normal-looking shell, but for some reason, it looked so familiar and special to him.
Madeline ran out of the entrance and continued to run aimlessly.
She came to the manor seeking some warmth and memories, but snazzynovel.com never expected to run into Jeremy.
She said snazzynovel.com regretted this, but so what?
Even if snazzynovel.com regretted it, snazzynovel.com could not lie to herself and pretend that snazzynovel.com did not love snazzynovel.com anymore as if snazzynovel.com had already let snazzynovel.com go.
Madeline ran extremely far in a single breath. The rays of the sunset were unable to get rid of the bitterness and coldness in snazzynovel.com heart.
She then fell to the ground and knelt.
The first rain in the early autumn came all of a sudden. The dense raindrops drenched snazzynovel.com entire body, and at the same time, it also drenched snazzynovel.com heart.
“Why?”
She lowered snazzynovel.com eyelids and asked herself in pain.
“Why? Why do I have to suffer all these just because I love him?”
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com head, looking at the gloomy sky. Her hot tears and the cold rain were intertwined together.
“God, if I’ve sinned, please punish me and not the people around me, please!”
Madeline knelt in the rain as snazzynovel.com fell into an abyss of pain.
Madeline did not know when snazzynovel.com passed out. However, when snazzynovel.com woke up, snazzynovel.com realized snazzynovel.com was in a strange bed. Everything around snazzynovel.com was foreign to snazzynovel.com as well.
When snazzynovel.com was about to get up, Ryan appeared in snazzynovel.com vision.
“Mrs. Whitman, it’s great that you’re up.” There was a soft smile on Ryan’s gentle face.
He handed a cup of freshly brewed ginger tea to Madeline.
“Have some ginger tea so that you won’t get a fever.”
Madeline sat up after coming back to snazzynovel.com senses. When snazzynovel.com lowered snazzynovel.com head, snazzynovel.com saw that someone had changed snazzynovel.com clothes.
“I asked my maid to change your clothes. You were out in the rain for so long that you were completely soaked.”
“Thanks.” Madeline took over the cup. The tea was scalding hot when snazzynovel.com held the cup in snazzynovel.com hands, but snazzynovel.com heart still felt like it was in an ice cave.
Ryan explained when snazzynovel.com saw Madeline’s puzzlement, “I heard something bad happened to your house, so I wanted to see if I could help. When I got to the door, I saw you running out. I was worried that something bad would happen to you, so I followed you.
“I knew you were feeling terrible, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. However, I felt bad when I saw you in the rain. I wanted to go over to tell you to get into the car, but you fainted the moment I approached you.”
Madeline thanked snazzynovel.com sincerely after snazzynovel.com knew what happened. “Thank you, Mr. Jones. You’ve saved me again.”
“No need to thank me. Actually, you’re the one who saved me.”
