The officer’s question caused Madeline’s heart to freeze. It also made her come to a realization.
This had already been planned from way back. Everyone was in on this.
All of this happened because she fell in love with a man she should not have.
Madeline grabbed the cold iron bars in despair and knelt on the floor.
‘Jeremy Whitman, if we could do this again, I’d rather not have met you…’
Madeline did not expect to live until the day she got out of jail.
Perhaps the medication Daniel asked his people to send over had amazing effects with tumors, or perhaps it was her strong will of wanting to see her child who was kidnapped after they forcefully induced labor on her. In short, she miraculously lived.
It was sunny the day she got out of prison. However, it could not get rid of the fog and pain that was kept in her heart for three years.
The torture from those thousand over days was printed all over her body and they were not going to fade anytime soon.
Madeline watched as Daniela and Ava ran over to her. When Ava saw how scrawny she was, she pulled Madeline who had no expression on her face into her arms. “Maddie, don’t be scared. I’ll stay with you from now on.”
Madeline felt a surge of sadness rising in her chest. There was still someone in this world who loved her.
While looking at the dispirited Madeline who looked wan and sallow, Daniel felt extremely sorry and remorseful.
He kept on apologizing to Madeline. If he had not been out of the country when Madeline was in trouble, she would not have to face all these hurdles herself.
He could at least have hired a lawyer for her.
Madeline looked at Daniel who looked extremely apologetic. “Dan, thank you. You don’t have to apologize to me. You don’t owe me anything.”
‘The people who owe me are that cruel witch, Meredith Crawford, and that cold-blooded man I was obsessed with for 12 years.’
After packing and tidying up, Daniel brought Madeline to Adam Brown for a full body check-up.
