Chapter 588
Jeremy lifted his cold gaze. His icy gaze froze over Meredith’s passionate and expectant heart.
“I’ve only loved one woman in this life and that woman is Linnie. As for you, do you think that any man would like a sinister and despicable woman like you?”
“Heh!” Meredith laughed bitterly. Then, she clenched her fists. Her eyes were also filled with intense jealousy and hatred. “Alright, what a straightforward answer. It’s so straightforward that I’ll die with remaining grievance!”
She bit her lip tightly, tearing the flesh. She did not let go even when blood started pouring from her wound.
Jeremy had no interest in seeing her in this wretched state, so he asked impatiently, “I don’t have time to waste. Just spit it out.”
Meredith laughed bitterly at herself when Jeremy refused to look at her. “Jeremy, I’ll die tomorrow. Why won’t you look at me? Am I so hideous? Back then, you always told me that I’m the most beautiful and kindest woman in the world.”
The disgust in Jeremy’s eyes was even more evident now.
“If I hadn’t mistaken you as Linnie, do you think you’d even be worthy of those praises? Meredith, don’t try to gross me out even before your death.”
“Gross you out?”
Meredith’s expression changed as her rough and yellowish hands grabbed the iron bars. “I’m gross, but why did I do all those disgusting things? I did them all for you! I gave up my reputation for you, so why are you still not looking at me? Why did you never touch me for all those years I was with you?”
Jeremy was surprised when Meredith suddenly admitted herself that they had never been intimate before. There were some changes in Jeremy’s handsome face after he heard that.
Even though he had already guessed that he had never touched her before, it was still amazing to hear her saying it out loud.

Madeline finished her draft in the study and was about to go check on the old master.
She got up and looked out of the window subconsciously. Then, she noticed it had started drizzling unbeknownst to her.
“Of course, it’s my business,” said Felipe in a gentle voice. Then, he walked closer to Madeline. “Maddie, you need to know that you’ve lost your memories. Before you did, you resented and despised Jeremy.”
Madeline listened to what Felipe said and her face was calm. “I only know that I love Jeremy very much now.”
“Do you still love him even after he has used you and lied to you?” Felipe asked calmly with a hint of desolation in his eyes.
Madeline answered firmly, “Yeah, I love him.”
Felipe sighed in disappointment. “Maddie, I’ll wait for you to recover. I’ll wait for you no matter what.”
After he made his promise, he held his umbrella and turned around in the rain.
Madeline did not pay much attention to him anymore. However, when she was about to go back to the house, she heard a subtle ding. It seemed like something had fallen from Felipe’s pocket.
She subconsciously turned around to look at what had fallen from Felipe’s pocket. At that instant, her expression changed.
