Chapter 142
After he said that, Madeline felt a warmth on the back of her hand
Jeremy held her hand tightly and forced her to sign her name ‘Madeline Crawford’ on the last page.
It was her name but in his handwriting.
After Jeremy was done, he swung her hand aside and pulled the papers away. He looked at the name on the paper and felt an uneasiness in his heart. Not only did he not feel relieved, but he also felt an abnormally heavy weight pressing on him.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Madeline who was still on the floor. Her face was pale and there were tears in her eyes. Other than that, there was also blood on her lips as if she had bitten her lip too hard. She looked battered and pitiful.
Jeremy frowned. “Madeline, do you have any requests?”
“500,000 dollars,” she said without hesitating.
After Jeremy heard that, he scoffed in disdain. “It looks like you came prepared. I’ll ask someone to transfer the money into your account immediately.”
After he said that, his phone rang.
When he picked up the phone, Madeline heard Meredith’s sweet voice from the other end of the phone. She heard Jeremy reply softly, “Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.”
In the next second, she heard him turning around. Her remaining vision turned dimmer and dimmer as he turned around. Then, it went out, and finally, all she could see was darkness.
She could feel something breaking inside her body at that moment.
The broken pieces were stabbing into her heart like thistles and thorns.
She looked up with her eyes that had lost their vision and stared in the direction where he left. At that moment, she understood. Her pursuit and love for him her entire life was all just a one-man show.
‘Jeremy, thank you for stopping by.
‘I hope I’ll never see you in my next life…’
Madeline was ready for the worst. Even though she could not see her face and appearance, she could clearly feel her body steadily deteriorating.
However, she still had one last wish before she died.
