Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 42

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.

After they got the report, Adam looked at Madeline in shock. “I didn’t expect my medication to have the

magical power to stop the growth and worsening of a tumor.”

“Then, can she have the surgery now?” Daniel asked hurriedly. His tone was laced with concern for

Madeline.

Adam frowned. “There’s a high risk, so we can’t do the surgery rashly. She can continue taking the

medication. We can decide after some time.”

After he heard that, Daniel was disappointed. However, Madeline was satisfied with the results.

“Thank you, Dr. Brown. Thank you, Dan. If it’s not for you guys, I wouldn’t be here today. I’m just happy

to be able to live this long.”

“What are you talking about?” Daniel looked at her with a stern look on his face. He reached out and

grabbed her shoulders. “Maddie, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

When he said that, Madeline could see his affections for her in the twinkle of his eyes.

Daniel was an exceptional man. He had a great background, great looks, and great manners.

and was also going to die soon.

She was not worthy.

She did not want to have any relationship with Daniel.

After they left the hospital, Ava insisted on taking Madeline to the beauty salon. She said she needed to

give her a makeover so that she could start a new life.

Madeline could not argue against Ava, so she followed her.

When she sat in front of the mirror, Madeline watched lifelessly as the barber cut her dry and frizzy hair.

It was as if she saw her fondness and obsession for Jeremy and the beautiful memories at the beach

being cut away and destroyed.

Everything ended when he asked people to snatch away her child when she was in prison. They could

never go back to how it was before.

A few hours later, Ava’s eyes lit up when she looked at Madeline. “Maddie, it’ll be such a waste if you

don’t take part in the pageants.”

Madeline did not care whether she was beautiful or not. She looked at her short-haired self and felt

extremely foreign. However, this was good. This way, she could feel like she was really starting a new

life for herself.
