Chapter 6 A fit of sadness and bitterness surged in Madison's heart , as if she'd just swallowed a whole bitter fruit . Five years of her life . All for nothing . She retreated to the side . The rehearsal began . The screen lit up . The video should be about the love story of Eloise and Ronan . However , what was displayed were photos of Eloise moaning under different men . Trembling , Eloise turned to Madison . " Ms. Litton , I trusted you . How could you ... " Her father , Darren Naylor , roared , " Bodyguards , beat this woman to death ! " Several bodyguards rushed over . They twisted Madison's arms , exerted strength slightly , and made her kneel in the pebble path . Her knees snapped as the bones broke . The pain made her face pale . " Wait , " Ronan said suddenly . Darren stared at him coldly . " Are you protecting her ? " Cold sweat streamed down Madison's forehead . She raised her head , pasty - faced . Ronan exchanged a look with her and averted his eyes , " She's carrying Ellie's baby . " Due to poor health , Eloise was infertile . She could never give birth to a 0.00 % 08.10 Chapter 6 258 Vouchers child . Sure enough , Darren hesitated . But he was still vexed . Ronan suggested , " Why not confine her to the swimming pool ? She can't get out until Ellie is mollified . " Although she'd decided to get over Ronan , Madison's eyes reddened when she heard his words . Even if it had been just a game for him , and it had nothing to do with love , she had been by his side for five years , after all . How could he not care about her at all ? The bodyguards escorted Madison toward the swimming pool . When she walked past Ronan , she asked in a low voice , " Ronan , do you have a heart of stone ? " Her whisper wafted in the breeze . Ronan thought he was being delusional . Clenching his fists , he watched the bodyguards push Madison into the pool and set the safety cover slowly . The cover was only about 10 cm from the water surface . Madison had to hold her head up all the time to breathe . In the dark , the sound of water flapping was enhanced immensely . Holding on to the safety cover , which didn't have a single crack , Madison had a mental breakdown . 3 The laughter outside drowned the noise Madison made . In the dark , she struggled alone painfully . She didn't know how long had passed . In the same position for too long , she was exhausted . But if she relaxed at all , the water would get into her nostrils . She would be choked , and her respiratory tract would hurt as if it were burning up . 24 79 % OB 10 Y Chapter 6 291 Vouchers The water was freezing like the basement in Miami in winter . Back then , Ronan had held her in his arms , rubbed her cold feet , and promised with red eyes , " Madison , I swear I'll be faithful to you forever . " Ronan's voice in her reverie overlapped with his voice in reality . It was the highlight of the rehearsal . People gathered by the swimming pool as Ronan made a ** Ow to Eloise . " I swear I'll take good care of Eloise , love her , spoil her , and never betray her ... " Madison's heart pounded . " Ellie , will you marry me ? " The teenage Ronan had once said affectionately , " Madi , will you marry me ? " With a bitter smile , Madison murmured , " No , Ronan , I won't marry you . " It was quiet suddenly . Footsteps sounded above the cover . A warm pair of hands picked Madison up . Carried in his arms , she opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Ronan's red eyes . A drop of tears fell on her face . The warmth dispelled the coldness she had felt in the pool . Was Ronan crying ? She must be hallucinating . He was resilient . He never cried even in those darkest days . How could he possibly cry for her ? 01 201 Chapter 6 1293 Vouchers 08 109 1
