Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 144

When her voice sounded, Jeremy retracted his hand.

Instantly, Meredith’s hand was empty as the look of joy on her face froze over. What came after was

her expression cracking.

Everyone looked over to the source of the voice and saw a small, fragile frame.

It was Madeline.

She was wearing a simple and elegant dress. She had some light makeup on her face. Despite the

scars on her face, she still looked as beautiful as she had just walked out of a painting.

Everyone could tell that this was Madeline. She was Jeremy’s ex-wife.

However, no one could tell that she was blind. She forced herself to walk to her destination. Her body This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

was welcoming the embrace of death, yet she was walking forward despite the difficulty.

Jeremy watched as Madeline walked slowly toward him. He was trying hard to look into Madeline’s

eyes, but alas, there was no focal point for her eyes. He would not find the passionate love and longing

that she used to have for him in her eyes.

Plus, she was stumbling as she walked forward.

It was because she could not see. She could not see any light, so she was risking her life with every

step she took.

Plus, she did not look too good. Despite her delicate makeup, it still could not hide her fatigue and

haggardness.

Meredith looked at Madeline who was walking toward her in disgust. Then, she saw Jeremy staring at

her without blinking. At that moment, she felt a bad feeling rising in her chest.

“Jeremy…” She frowned and leaned against Jeremy weakly.

However, Jeremy ignored her. On the contrary, he walked down the stage and walked toward

Madeline.

“Madeline, what are you doing here?” Eloise was the first person to stand up and stop Madeline.

Madeline had to stop. She could feel Eloise standing in front of her now, but she could not see. She

could not see how her mother was looking at her with so much detest in her eyes. However, she could

feel the pain burning mercilessly in her heart.

“Where’s the security? Get security here now! Kick this woman out now!” Sean’s voice boomed much

later on.

Madeline smiled and swallowed the pain that felt like she had been sliced by a knife. She lifted her dull

eyes and looked forward blankly.

There were so many people at the scene, but aside from Jeremy and Meredith, no one knew that her

eyes were not working.

The security got here instantly to kick Madeline out. However, Jeremy stopped them. “Wait.”

Meredith’s expression was grim. She had been waiting for this day for so long to become Jeremy’s

woman, but this happened!

Madeline, that eyeless scavenging vermin!

She was already halfway to her death and she still had the guts to show up?

‘I won’t let her see the rising sun tomorrow!’ Meredith thought as she saw Jeremy approaching

Meredith.

He looked at her with tenderness in his eyes that had never existed before. “Did you come here

because you have something to say?”

His voice was never this gentle before. However, Madeline did not care anymore.

It was no longer important how he treated her.

Madeline smiled softly, but because of the torment from her illnesses, she frowned. “Today’s the

engagement party of my dear sister and brother-in-law. I’m here to give you your present, of course.”
