Chapter 1349
Madeline raised her eyebrows, the ice cream in her mouth seemingly tasting bland and tasteless.
Even if her current mental state was not normal, she still understood what was being said.
At that moment, the kind and gentle face of Old Master Whitman appeared in her mind reflexively.
“You’re talking nonsense. Grandpa is not that kind of person.” Madeline defended Old Master Whitman without hesitation.
“I have evidence,” Ryan retorted coldly.
Madeline seemed to be taken aback. She fell silent and then she heard Ryan say, “My grandfather and Jeremy’s grandfather were very good friends back then. My grandfather trusted that old fart way too much and that’s why he had to suffer a miserable death in the end.”
Ryan still wanted to say something, but he felt that Madeline might not understand him.
He sighed and chuckled as if he was talking to himself. “I think you’ve already experienced the feeling of being betrayed by a good friend of yours, right?”
He seemed to be asking Madeline. “You trusted me so much at the beginning, but I only approached you to avenge my grandfather. I hate all of the Whitmans.”
He paused, his dark eyes staring straight into Madeline’s. Then, his eyes softened again.
“But after I realized that I’ve unconsciously fallen in love with you, I hated Jeremy even more.”
There was a touch of unwillingness in Ryan’s eyes. Then, he suddenly raised his hands to hold Madeline’s shoulders while looking a little emotional.
“Eveline, are you really a fool? That man hurt you so much back then. He got someone to disfigure you, took your corneas, and even forced you to the point of dying on the operating table. How could you still choose to forgive him?”
His tone was suddenly fierce as his brows knitted together tightly.
“Do you really love him so much? Even after he let you down like that?”
After listening to Ryan’s words, the scenes he was talking about vaguely appeared in Madeline’s mind.
She also knew that the man Ryan was referring to was Jeremy.
She looked straight at Ryan with no hesitation in her eyes. “I love him. I love Jeremy Whitman.”
