Chapter 1122
Madeline endured the pain on her wrist and said calmly, “What’s wrong, Jeremy? I’m Linnie.”
Linnie.
That name flew right into Jeremy’s ears and into his heart.
The malice in his eyes disappeared as his dark eyes immediately turned bright.
It was as if he just noticed himself holding Madeline with such a tight grip. He quickly let go and caressed her wrist. “Did I hurt you?”
Madeline shook her head. “No. But Jeremy, why did you react like that just now? What happened to you when you disappeared?”
Jeremy remained quiet, his brows knitted together tightly.
However, he did not say anything. Instead, he only stepped down on the accelerator and continued driving.
‘What happened to me when I disappeared?’ he asked himself silently.
In order to stay alive and come back to her, he had to suffer such severe consequences.
It was still early when they went back to Whitman Manor. Lillian and Jackson were sitting on the rug near the coffee table while playing with a puzzle.
When Madeline saw the smile on Lillian’s face, she felt relieved.
However, she was worried that Jeremy might ignore Lillian again and hurt her fragile heart. As such, she grabbed Jeremy’s hand to hint at him.
“Hold Lily. Don’t make her sad.”
After Madeline said that, Lillian looked over at them.
“Lily.” Madeline sat down next to the little girl. “Are you sad?”
Lillian looked at Madeline and snuggled closer to her.
She wanted to call out to her mother, but she felt like something was in her throat. She could not make a sound.
Madeline held the child in her arms. “Lily, actually, there’s something I never told you because I figured you’re still young and might not know what I mean.”
Lillian blinked in confusion while looking at Madeline seriously.
Madeline looked at her eyes in pity and caressed the little girl’s hair.
“Actually, the handsome mister is your real daddy. The daddy from before isn’t your real daddy.
“Since Daddy is very petty, he deliberately gets mad at you and ignores you because he thinks you don’t want to call him daddy. So, can you be brave and call the handsome mister ‘Daddy’?”
