Chapter 186
Madeline could not help but halt her steps. She looked at Meredith who said these words as a layer of doubt gradually appeared in her heart.
Why was Meredith and Jeremy’s past so similar to her own experience with Jeremy back then?
Moreover, was April Hill the place where they first met as well?
“Jeremy, I don’t need anything, but I really can’t lose you. Please don’t leave me, okay?”
Meredith’s soft voice pulled Madeline’s thoughts back.
She saw Meredith’s eyes that were filled with tears while she looked at Jeremy with an expectant gaze.
Although Jeremy had not responded, he took out a handkerchief to bandage Meredith’s wound. He still cared for Meredith so much.
“Jeremy…”
“Stop talking. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Meredith looked at Jeremy affectionately “Jeremy, with you accompanying me, I won’t be in as much pain. I know that you’ll protect me forever.”
Madeline could hear these words from where she was standing.
While watching Jeremy help Meredith up, Meredith had then turned her head to cast a triumphant and provoking look at her as she was getting into the car. It was as if she was saying, ‘Vera Quinn, you’re not qualified to steal my man!’
Madeline looked at this scene indifferently and smiled softly.
‘Jeremy, it’s such a shame that a smart person like you with extremely high emotional and intelligence quotients who’s also able to expertly maneuver through the business world is still incapable of clearly seeing Meredith’s true character even after so many years.
‘Or perhaps, that’s what you like about this scheming b*tch.’
Madeline returned to the store, and not long after picking up the paintbrush, the phone rang.
