Chapter 1031
Madeline heard her son’s cry and hurriedly came out barefoot.
She hurriedly picked up the little guy to comfort him and reached out to take the bottle. However, when she brushed it with her hand, she felt that the bottle had been used before and the amount of milk in the bottle was now slightly less.
She glanced at the little bun who was still crying with a look of confusion.
It was impossible for this little baby to grab the bottle and drink it by himself.
She thought it might have been Karen who had just arrived, so Madeline did not think much of it. After patiently sleeping with the little baby, she then dried her hair and lay down on the bed.
She was very tired with the lamp on, but she did not fall asleep for a long time.
Madeline opened the bedside cabinet drawer and took out the two wedding rings as well as the shell and bookmark.
After looking carefully for a while, she put these into a jewelry box and sealed them in the underside of the cabinet.
Looking at the other side of the empty bed, she raised her hand and gently stroked the pillow.
“Why does loving you end up being like this? Jeremy, tell me why…” she asked herself softly without getting any answers.
After a long time, there was no more movement in the room.
Jeremy, who had been hiding behind the cabinet, choked on the pain quietly.
He gently walked over to the bed and saw Madeline lying on his side of the bed with her hand still on the pillow he used to sleep on. His eyes were bitter, and he gently pulled up the blanket to cover her.
When Jeremy lowered his head and kissed the corner of Madeline’s eyebrows, Jeremy found that there was medical tape on her neck.
Was she injured?
How was it possible that she got injured?
He felt distressed and puzzled, but he did not dare to stay too long for fear of awakening Madeline.
Back then, however, she had not noticed it at all.
…
The next day, Lana woke up. Thinking of how she had spent another night with Jeremy, she happily lit a cigarette.
She was happily thinking back to last night’s events when she received a call.
Listening to the report from the person on the phone, Lana pinched the cigarette butt a little uncomfortably. She then looked up and saw Jeremy coming in. She hung up the phone while smiling.
“Jeremy,” she called out softly, her eyes full of admiration and love. “I wanted to go out on a date with you today, but I have something to deal with all of a sudden.”
“What’s the matter?” Jeremy asked casually.
“There’s a problem with the goods from half a month ago. The customer happens to be in Glendale now, so I’ll be meeting him.” Lana got up, then put on her clothes.
Jeremy looked away with a look of disgust and opened his mouth to say, “I’ll accompany you.”
