Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1171

Madeline asked straightforwardly, and the lady on the other end of the call giggled. “Eveline Montgomery, you don’t have to be so eager to know who I am. Soon, we’ll meet up.”

“I don’t want to meet with someone who hides in a dark corner and sneers. Stop calling,” Madeline warned her, and when she was about to hang up, the lady voiced out once again.

“You don’t wish to meet up with me, but I’m looking forward to our encounter. Well, as a gift for our encounter, just think of your muted daughter who’s lying in the hospital with her life still in a critical phase.”

“What did you say? What do you mean?!” Madeline suddenly thought of something. “Did you order someone to kidnap my daughter?”

“You’re right, it’s me.” The lady quickly admitted it. “But don’t you worry, Eveline. I’ll never lay a finger on you. Instead, I want you to be safe and healthy to witness how I torture those around you and make you suffer!”

After the lady blurted out her last comment, the call was hung up abruptly.

Madeline called back, but no one answered.

She could make out from the woman’s tone that she bore a grudge against her.

She tried to recall all the women she had made enemies out of but could not figure out who was it. That was because she had never heard that voice before, but again, that underhanded and cruel method seemed rather familiar.

Thinking back to the lady’s comment about Lillian’s life being in a critical phase sent chills down Madeline’s spine. Her heart was pumping erratically.

She called Jeremy while walking eagerly to the garage.

Jackson wanted to tag along but was worried he would add on to Madeline’s burden if he were to follow.

He thought for a moment and chose not to follow. As such, he could only look on as Madeline drove away.

Jeremy was guarding Lillian by the bedside. Suddenly, he received a call from Madeline. He glanced at the little kid who was sound asleep and sneaked out of the ward. He took out his phone, only to realize that Madeline had sent him a message two hours ago. He had not noticed it at all.

He closed the door of the ward and answered the call. “Linnie.”

“Jeremy, are you at the hospital? Did something happen to Lillian?” Madeline sounded anxious.

Jeremy figured that perhaps it was Fabian who told her everything about Lillian. He replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Linnie. I didn’t do my best to protect our daughter.”

Madeline felt a pinch in her heart. She did not wish to pin the blame on him. Instead, she comforted him. “I know you’ve done your very best to protect Lillian. Don’t blame yourself. Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up the call, Madeline sped up and hurried to the hospital.

After meeting up with Jeremy, she glanced at the bed where Lillian was lying unconscious.

Madeline rushed to the bedside and reached out to touch the little girl’s pale doll-like face. “Lillian.”

Heartbroken, she lowered her head and kissed the little face.

Jeremy stood at the end of the bed, feeling terrible and blaming himself even more.

He spun around to leave as he felt that he had lost his courage to face his little girl.

Madeline heard Jeremy’s footsteps that were leaving the scene and could guess what this man was thinking about currently.

She looked at the unconscious little girl, feeling anxious. Then, she left the ward.

After exiting the ward, Madeline did not see Jeremy around. Subconsciously, she walked down the corridor when suddenly, she heard something being smashed at the stairwell.

She felt her heart sink, and with all her might, she pushed the heavy door open. “Jeremy!”

Following the lights along the corridor, Madeline saw a man punching the wall.

She felt a sense of pain coursing through her heart. She sprinted over to where he was and stopped him. She held onto him tightly, saying, “What are you doing, Jeremy?! Don’t harm yourself like that! Don’t!”

Jeremy frowned, his eyes growing red.

“I caused Lillian to suffer from a serious injury. All these years, what have I given to this child? I’m not worthy of being her father!” Jeremy blamed himself.

“Perhaps people like me should have just dropped dead for good. Last time, I harmed you and made you suffer so much. Now, I’ve harmed our daughter. I’m not even a human!”

Jeremy hated himself. He raised his fist again and drove it straight to the wall, ignoring the pain that came flooding a second after.

“Don’t bother about me, Linnie. Please stop loving someone like me, a cold-hearted man who never appreciates his beloved wife and daughter. I don’t deserve to have you guys. You and the kids should find a reliable man and forget about me.”

Madeline raised her gaze as soon as he was done talking.

Her eyes went red. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face. “Do you have any idea what you’re babbling on about? Jeremy Whitman, are you still trying to break my heart up to this date? In my entire life, except for you, who else can I fall in love with?! You tell me, what should I do to completely forget about you? Tell me!”

Madeline shouted while feeling heartbroken. It was as if there were millions of ants biting on her heart.

Jeremy tilted his face. He felt ashamed to face Madeline after hearing her words.

Madeline fixed her gaze upon the man before her who was choking silently. “Talk, Jeremy. Tell me, what should I do?”

As soon as she was done speaking, Jeremy suddenly got down on his knees.

“I’m sorry, Linnie. Why am I always doing things that will hurt you? Why…”

Madeline could not bear to see him breaking down.

She suppressed the urge to cry because she knew Jeremy was enduring tremendous pressure within him.

She squatted, and in her eyes was no longer a sharp ray. There was only passion and concern in them as she said, “Look at me, Jeremy.”

Madeline held his face like she was comforting a kid. She spoke to the man with utter patience, “I know you’re very concerned about Lillian. No one’s going to blame you, and you need not blame yourself. Lillian will not blame you as well.”

“Even though Lillian is still young, she’ll still understand. You’re her only father. I know that you must have a reason for treating Lillian coldly ever since you came back. However, I hope that you won’t be so cold to her again after she wakes up.

“Jeremy, we’re one family, a very close one. No matter what’s going to happen in the future, we should not be separated again, alright?”

Jeremy could not help but choke as tears came streaming down his face.

“Linnie.” He hugged her tightly. “We’ll never be apart, never again.”

“Alright,” Madeline answered Jeremy’s promise, her eyes filling with tears.

She had never seen Jeremy fall apart. Perhaps back when he thought she was dead, he had also been like this as well. However, after witnessing it for herself, she could feel an intense pain deep in her heart.

Jeremy and Madeline went back to Lillian’s room. She was still sound asleep.

Jeremy got Madeline to go back home first while he would remain to guard Lillian.

Madeline did not want Jeremy to overwork himself, but she wanted to head home to get some daily necessities. Besides, she had to make a trip to the laboratory.

In the shortest time, she made her way to Glendale’s laboratory and gave one of the two reagents that Adam gave her to be researched.

She did not trust Ryan or Adam. Hence, she needed to check for herself whether it was safe to be used.

On the next day, Madeline took all the daily necessities and headed to the hospital. Just when she reached the parking lot, she received a call from the laboratory.

She answered the call while walking to the elevator. Suddenly, a lady with a slim figure seemed to pass by Madeline on purpose and even knocked into her shoulder.

“I’m sorry.” The lady turned around to apologize. There was a big pair of sunglasses that covered her face. However, the moment she spoke, Madeline immediately came to a realization.

“It’s you?!”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1173

Madeline could recognize the voice. It was the same person who had been provoking her over the phone these days, the woman who said that Lillian was Madeline’s mute daughter!

After being recognized, the lady seemed as if she had come well prepared. She curled her red lips and smirked. “Eveline, I said we’ll soon meet each other. Aren’t you surprised?”

Madeline could not make out who the voice belonged to, but that evil smirk reminded her of someone.

“Are you there, Miss Montgomery?” The researcher’s curious voice was heard over the phone.

Madeline thought of taking off the lady’s sunglasses, but her thoughts were suddenly disrupted.

“I’m sorry. I’m still all ears,” Madeline quickly replied. However, the next time she raised her head, she realized the lady was missing. There was only a special scent that smelled rather special.

Madeline knew that lady was trying to stir trouble on purpose and did not bother wasting another second at the parking lot.

She focused all her attention on listening to what the researcher had to say. “Miss Montgomery, the results show that the ingredients in the anti-toxoid test reagent are all harmless. However, there are two elements in it which none of our researchers have seen before.”

“If these two elements are injected into the human body, will it have any deadly effects?”

“All of the elements are harmless,” replied the researcher in a confident tone.

Madeline quietly let out a sigh of relief.

“Thanks so much.” She expressed her gratitude and hung up the call. Then, she entered the elevator.

When she was almost approaching the entrance of the ward, Madeline saw Jeremy pacing back and forth with a serious look on his face. She quickly ran over to him.

“Jeremy.”

Jeremy raised his eyes which were full of concern.

“What’s wrong, Jeremy? Did something happen to Lillian?” Madeline asked anxiously, sneaking a peek into the ward.

“Lillian will be just fine, don’t worry.” Jeremy comforted.

However, when he touched Madeline’s hands, she noticed that his hands were icy cold. ‘It seems that he’s worried too.’

After more than ten minutes, the doctor came out.

“Doctor, how’s my daughter doing?” Jeremy rushed to ask at the very first moment.

The doctor replied honestly, “The child’s blood pressure isn’t coming up. Maybe it’s because of the hemorrhage. For now, she’s in a stable condition. She’s awake now, so you guys can go and see her.”

Madeline and Jeremy’s eyes sparkled when they heard that Lillian was awake.

Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand as they entered the ward together.

The little girl lying on the hospital bed opened her big eyes halfway. She appeared to still be in a daze. With an awful expression, she looked at Jeremy and Madeline who were rushing to her.

“Lillian.” Madeline grasped the little girl’s hand, feeling heartbroken as she attempted to warm her daughter’s cold hands.

Lillian looked at Madeline and blinked her eyes, looking tired. She seemed as if she wanted to call out to Madeline, but after moving her mouth, no words came out.

The scene hurt Jeremy.

‘She’s such a beautiful girl, but because of me, she ended up like this. She was thrown into the pond by Lana, and that left her traumatized, causing her to become mute.’

Jeremy never once regretted his last-minute decision at that time to add some slow-acting poison into Lana’s drink.
