Chapter 143
Jeremy held the steering wheel even tighter. He was starting to suspect whether his eyes were not working. However, it was obvious that Madeline was the one whose eyes were not working.
She was blind.
She was really blind.
She was not joking earlier when she had difficulty signing the divorce papers. It was real.
However, she was just fine previously. Why was she blind now?
Jeremy watched as Madeline crawled on the ground as she looked for something while sobbing. He felt that it was getting hard to breathe and even felt like he was going to suffocate.
The snow was getting heavier and even rain started to fall.
The people around her started to leave, leaving the street empty. However, Madeline was still looking for something.
She was crying. She was so anxious, looking like a child who had lost their favorite toy.
Jeremy got out of the car while feeling dispirited. He slowly walked toward Madeline, his footsteps feeling abnormally heavy.
However, she did not notice his presence or existence. Her scrawny body was still on the floor while her hands were still frantically searching for something despite being covered in dirt.
Jeremy looked at her with a dazed look on his face. He picked up the photo of a random scenery next to his feet and placed it in front of Madeline.
When she touched the photo, Madeline’s grief turned into happiness.
She held the photo and blew on it. Then, she placed it in front of her lips and kissed it. It was only then did she finally stand up while looking relieved. She continued walking while following the tactile paving.
Jeremy stood in place and let the wind blow on him. Madeline’s figure became smaller and smaller in his vision. He felt a sting in the corner of his eyes for no reason and he was struggling to breathe.
…
The news of Jeremy and Meredith getting married spread quickly. Meredith was the one who called Madeline about this.
On the other end of the phone, Meredith was beaming. After she showed off, she overtly invited Madeline to their engagement party.
