Chapter 451
Madeline complained and questioned as Jeremy recalled what happened that day.
He remembered everything clearly. That day, it had been very windy and snowy. Madeline was shaking violently as she held the urn in her arms, her teeth stained with blood. She had looked as wretched as a defeated puppet. However, her eyes were protesting what he was doing in determination.
She had said, “Jeremy, kill me. I don’t want to see you again.”
She also said, “Jeremy, you’ll regret this!”
However, back then, he had replied arrogantly, “The word ‘regret’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”
Madeline mocked when she saw Jeremy deep in thought.
“What’s wrong? Are you remembering everything that you’ve done? Do you remember how you were so sure that our child was a b*stard child who you couldn’t wait to crush her bones into dust?”
Jeremy came back to his senses after Madeline said those words sarcastically.
He recalled his cold-blooded behavior. He felt as if his evil doings were going to devour him.
‘I finally realized how painful your heart must have been at that moment.’
“Jeremy, stop pretending to look apologetic. No matter what you say or do, it’ll never mend the hurt you caused me.”
Madeline looked at him coldly. There was no longing nor admiration in her eyes. There was only anger.
“Back then, I thought that my grandpa was really sick. I asked you to lend me money but not only did you refuse, you even humiliated me with Meredith. You trusted her lies and was sure that I was having an affair with another man. You even called our child a b*stard child!
“Because of Meredith’s ruse, you thought that I was scamming your money and lying about my grandfather’s sickness. You allowed Rose and Jon to abuse me. Do you know how much I suffered?
“I vomited blood after Jon kicked me. I couldn’t stand up from the pain. However, you carried Meredith to the hospital instead. I was thinking, ‘The only thing I did was love you, but why do I have to suffer such painful consequences?’ Finally, I understood that I loved the wrong person.”
After she said that, Madeline let out a sigh. Her eyes were wet with tears because the knot in her heart ached all of a sudden.
