Chapter 149
How was this possible?
He did not care about her at all. He had never cared about her.
Jeremy kept on hypnotizing himself while suppressing his emotions. However, the intense pain in his heart forced him to accept the truth that he could not deny anymore.
He had fallen in love with Madeline.
He did not know when it started, but Madeline had slowly made a home inside his heart.
He remembered that he loved Meredith. He loved Meredith who he had made promises to when they were younger. Why had that person become Madeline instead?
Jeremy massaged his temples, feeling agitated. His eyes were staring at the light of the operating theatre that was still on. He felt as if he had lost something important in the quicksand of his memory and could not get it back anymore.
An entire day passed and the light of the operating theatre was still not switched off.
Meredith was already impatient, but Jeremy looked too horrifying at this moment, so she did not dare to act without thinking. She could only wait for the doctors to announce that they had failed to save Madeline and she died.
Eloise came after a while. When she saw Jeremy at the entrance of the operating theatre, she went over to seek justice for Meredith.
“Jeremy, why are you still here? How can you let Meredith waste her time accompanying you here? Based on my knowledge of that evil woman, she must be acting! She’s only trying to get your attention and ruin your engagement with Mer!
“Come, Mer. Take Jeremy back to the hotel with me,” Eloise said before trying to pull Jeremy up. When Meredith was about to help her, Jeremy mercilessly pushed away Eloise’s hand that was trying to grab him. His red eyes looked at her piercingly and there was a sinister glint in them.
“So what if she’s acting? Even if she is, she’s doing it for me. What does it have to do with you two? Get lost!”
Eloise did not expect Jeremy to answer her like this. She was so shocked that she was stunned momentarily. Then, she tried speaking up for Meredith again.
