Chapter 18
Madeline had thought her comeback was brilliant. however. upon hearing Meredith's words. she felt utterly defeated.
Jeremy was there with Meredith for the latter's maternal check-up.
It was supposed to be something that a husband and wife did: Jeremy had given another woman his priority.
Meredith walked in front of Meredith proudly. “Maddie, what's wrong? Are you upset?Heartbroken?”
Madeline clenched her fists, but she refused to allow herself to lose her composure. “No. I just feel that you’re shameless.”
After she said that, she let her undisturbed gaze fall on Meredith’s twisted face.
“Meredith. I don’t think I'd be able to find another woman who's as shameless and proud asyou: someone who thinks so highly of herself despite only being a mistress.”
“You...”
“One day, Jeremy will know that the child in your stomach is not his.”
Meredith's hypocritical mask was being ripped off her face. However. she suddenly broke into a smile as she said, “Jeremy loves me so much that even if the baby isn’t his, he*ll still love him or her without fail. Unlike you, so what if you have his child? Not only does he not want it, but he'd never allow you to give birth to that bastard child!”
Meredith gritted her teeth and grabbed Madeline who was about to turn around to leave. The next instant. Meredith's face fell, and she started sobbing. Her voice was pretty loud as she spoke.
“Maddie. please. I love Jeremy. Please give him back to me.”
What?
“Maddie. just scream and hit me all you want. Don’t hurt my baby! Ah!"
Meredith screamed out of the blue, and at the same time, let go of Madeline’s hand before rolling down the stairs.
All kinds of looks that were filled with accusation and surprise locked onto Madeline.
Someone even pointed at her and shouted, “That woman pushed a pregnant lady down the stairs!”
“It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!”
Madeline tried her best to explain, but no one believed her.
She wanted to go down to look at Meredith's condition when a force pushed her away.
