Chapter 960
This man was truly heartless.
She let go of him, and there was confusion in her eyes.
“If you’re not Jeremy, why did you kiss me?”
“I did it because I wanted to. There’s no reason for it.” His answer was simple and straightforward.
Madeline smiled. “So this is how you kiss Lana as well? Did you hold her to sleep every night for the past three months?”
While looking into Madeline’s eyes, Jeremy suddenly saw the images she mentioned in her beautiful orbs.
He saw himself holding a woman as they slept peacefully in the dead of night.
He did not have that kind of serenity and peace for a very long time.
However, he was very sure that he did not have any memories of holding Lana to sleep.
Madeline pushed him away dispiritedly after she saw him staying quiet.
She still had the image of him risking his life for her. However, he did not have proof of her existence in his heart anymore.
After Madeline left, Jeremy finally came back to his senses after quite a while. He picked up the aromatherapy kit she left. After he opened it, he put it under his nose to take a sniff.
The faint smell of Japanese roses invaded his nostrils, making him feel relaxed.
Before she left, Madeline had taken out a cigarette from the box when Jeremy was spacing out.
She went to the hospital to visit her son before going back to her lab.
Earlier, Jeremy had only pecked her on the lips while smelling like the cigarettes he smoked and it was enough for her to feel as if she was losing control of her emotions.
Her instincts told her that the cigarettes were not ordinary ones.
She cut it open and did some tests on it in the lab.
Madeline sensed danger. “Lana, what do you mean?”
However, Lana only snorted. “Go home and take a look. The man you love will be giving you a huge surprise.”
Madeline got up abruptly, and as she ran, she called Eloise and Sean. However, no one answered the phone. In addition to that, no one picked up the phone in the manor as well.
She drove home quickly, but before she could get to the entrance, she saw fire devouring the extravagant building without mercy.
Madeline got out of the car frantically and saw Jeremy at the entrance. In front of her, the fire was burning everything in its path.
One of the maids ran out of the building while coughing from the heavy smoke. “M-Miss Eveline, Sir and Madam are still in there. I’m afraid… I’m afraid they’re gone…” she said as she pointed at Jeremy, “It’s him. He’s the one who asked someone to set the fire.”
Jeremy was taken aback when she said that.
On the other hand, Madeline felt an excruciating pain in her heart. She looked at the emotionless man, and when she was about to say something, she lost consciousness from her heart shattering into pieces.
Before she collapsed on the ground, Jeremy ran forward and held her. “Linnie!”
