Chapter 1172
“Perhaps people like me should have just dropped dead for good. Last time, I harmed you and made you suffer so much. Now, I’ve harmed our daughter. I’m not even a human!”
Jeremy hated himself. He raised his fist again and drove it straight to the wall, ignoring the pain that came flooding a second after.
“Don’t bother about me, Linnie. Please stop loving someone like me, a cold-hearted man who never appreciates his beloved wife and daughter. I don’t deserve to have you guys. You and the kids should find a reliable man and forget about me.”
Madeline raised her gaze as soon as he was done talking.
Her eyes went red. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face. “Do you have any idea what you’re babbling on about? Jeremy Whitman, are you still trying to break my heart up to this date? In my entire life, except for you, who else can I fall in love with?! You tell me, what should I do to completely forget about you? Tell me!”
Madeline shouted while feeling heartbroken. It was as if there were millions of ants biting on her heart.
Jeremy tilted his face. He felt ashamed to face Madeline after hearing her words.
Madeline fixed her gaze upon the man before her who was choking silently. “Talk, Jeremy. Tell me, what should I do?”
As soon as she was done speaking, Jeremy suddenly got down on his knees.
“I’m sorry, Linnie. Why am I always doing things that will hurt you? Why…”
Madeline could not bear to see him breaking down.
She suppressed the urge to cry because she knew Jeremy was enduring tremendous pressure within him.
She squatted, and in her eyes was no longer a sharp ray. There was only passion and concern in them as she said, “Look at me, Jeremy.”
Madeline held his face like she was comforting a kid. She spoke to the man with utter patience, “I know you’re very concerned about Lillian. No one’s going to blame you, and you need not blame yourself. Lillian will not blame you as well.”
