Chapter 729
Jeremy’s tears fell along with Madeline’s after he heard what she said.
The unbearable memories appeared in his head as his bloody past appeared right in front of his eyes. He could not get away from them.
“You should go.”
Madeline said those three words flatly. Then, she turned around so that she would not look at him.
“When Lily was trapped in the burning car and was almost burnt alive, I could tell that you genuinely wanted to save her. However, it still can’t change the fact that she died because of your negligence.
“Jeremy, I can’t forgive you and I don’t want to see you again.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s back and stood there for a very long time. Finally, he turned around while bearing the blame.
A gust of cold wind blew over, going straight into his heart. Then, more tears started to fall from his eyes.
Madeline stood in front of Lillian’s grave and heard Jeremy’s footsteps as he walked away.
Her eyes were red as she looked at the words on the tombstone. Then, she swallowed back her tears.
‘Lillian, at the end of the day, I still couldn’t be the perfect mother for you.
‘I was not around when you were calling out to me and wanted me to protect you.
‘I’m sorry.’
Madeline stood in front of the grave dispiritedly and faced the cold wind of fall as she endured the debilitating pain in her chest.
…
After Jeremy went home, he still could not forget what Madeline said to him in the cemetery and the sight of her dull gaze.
After Jeremy found that clue, he went to Montgomery Manor to look for Madeline.
He knew she would not pick up his calls, so he could only go straight to her.
However, when he arrived at Montgomery Manor, Eloise told him dispiritedly that Madeline had gone out to look for Felipe.
Plus, it was evident that Eloise did not want to talk to him as well.
Jeremy could understand that. Even if he was not the one behind Lillian’s death, it was a fact that she passed away under his care.
He did not hesitate before driving to Felipe’s place. However, perhaps it was because he had barged into his place before, so this time, there were more security guards in black guarding the gates.
Jeremy called Madeline, but she hung up on him.
He sent her a message telling her that he had something important to tell her, but unfortunately, she did not reply to his message.
