Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 23

“Heh.”

Jeremy scoffed lightly. He looked down at Madeline coldly with his dark eyes. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Madeline, I underestimated you. You even managed to bribe the doctors here to make them lie to me about your pregnancy. Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I’d be fooled so easily?”

Madeline lifted her head and sobbed sadly. “No! I haven’t lied to you, Jeremy! Why would I lie to you about something like that? I really am pregnant! Jeremy, you don’t believe me? Touch my stomach. The child really is here…”

Madeline stood up with all her might and grabbed Jeremy’s hand. She wanted him to believe her. She wanted him to feel the life that was already forming in her stomach.

However, Jeremy pushed away her hand.

“Get lost! Don’t touch me with your filthy hand!” Jeremy’s eyes were as sharp as knives. “You’re not pregnant. However, even if you really are, I’ll abort it because you do not deserve it! Madeline, a woman like you will never have the chance to have anything to do with me!”

“Jeremy!” When Madeline saw that Jeremy was about to leave, she chased after him while stumbling. She grabbed his arm. “Jeremy, don’t go. You told me you’d protect me forever! I am Linnie. Have you forgotten? Jeremy…”

Madeline begged for him to stay, but what she said triggered him. Almost instantly, she felt an intense aura of death. The next second, she was pushed to the ground by Jeremy. Consequently, Madeline clutched her stomach in pain. She could see the man’s terrifying gaze through her tears. “Madeline, you deserve to die.”

“Jeremy…” Cold sweat started to appear on Madeline’s body due to the pain. However, Jeremy left after he said those hurtful words. He was not concerned about her wellbeing at all.

Madeline got up from the ground and smiled bitterly. Her eyes were filled with tears.

‘Jez, you’re no longer the boy Linnie once knew…’

Throughout the next few days, Jeremy did not show up. There was no word of concern at all. It was as if he had forgotten about her.

Madeline laid on the bed but did not recover even after a few days. On the contrary, she felt herself getting weaker and weaker. So, she asked Ava to bring her to a specialized hospital for a check up.

When the results came out, Madeline was shocked.

“Miss Crawford, you don’t have much time. If you don’t abort the child, you don’t have a chance.”

The doctor did not beat around the bush. Perhaps she had seen too much of life and death and was already numb.

Madeline’s vision turned black for a while. If Ava were not there with her, she might have passed out.

She knew she could not delay treating the tumor. However, she had not expected misfortune to come so fast.

“Maddie, you can have a child again, while you only have one life,” Ava advised. She did not wait any longer before arranging the surgery for Madeline.

After a while, Ava came back with the receipt. Madeline held it in her hand with her face that was completely pale. All of a sudden, she crumpled it up and threw it into the bin.

Ava was stunned. “Maddie?”

Madeline’s eyes were wet. She looked oddly determined. “I won’t give up this child even if I die.”

The tumor would worsen even if she were to abort the child. It was just a matter of time.

Not to mention, it might be the only trammel she could leave for Jeremy.

It was difficult to sway Madeline’s decision now.

Ava had no choice. She could only advise her to at least let Jeremy know about her condition.
