He asked back with a meaningful tone.Madeline did not want to waste her time analyzing the man, so she walked around him. As she brushed past his shoulder, Ryan reached out to grab her arm. Madeline struggled, but Ryan’s strength overpowered hers. As Madeline fought against his hold on her, Ryan grabbed her shoulder and pressed her against the wall in front. “What do you want?!” Madeline glared at Ryan. “I don’t want to hurt you,” Ryan replied, his gaze locking on a struggling Madeline with a mysterious look in his eyes. He suddenly asked, “Do you want Jeremy to live, Eveline?” Madeline’s expression shifted. “What are you trying to say?” Ryan was calm. “You should know by now that Jeremy hasn’t fully recovered yet.” “...” The certainty in Ryan’s voice chilled Madeline. He had to be following her or he could not be so certain. “There’s a very high chance that the poison in his body will mutate. He may be fine now, but he’s a ticking time bomb.” Madeline suddenly
Madeline met his furious gaze fearlessly. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t hurt me? Then let me hit you!” “...” Ryan was speechless. “I’m not Jeremy Whitman, Eveline. Reject me today and you’re throwing the only way to treat Jeremy out the window. Think carefully before you decide.” Ryan let go and turned around. Walking past Madeline, he advised, “You have three days to look for me or you’ll never find Adam Brown. Jeremy has two years left.” Chupse. Madeline felt something stab through her heart. Two years. Madeline did not dare entertain the idea that she would lose Jeremy after two years. Just as Madeline was about to lose herself in her heartache, she heard Jeremy’s voice sounding from the corner of the elevator. “How dare you come and look for Linnie?” “Eveline is legally still my wife as far as our marriage certificate is concerned. What’s wrong with looking for her?” Ryan responded in seriousness for he knew that it would trigger Jeremy. Instead of falling int
This was a small heart folded from red paper.It seemed to be nothing special.However, for this little girl to want to give this little red heart to him, she probably had her own thoughts about it.Jeremy thought silently, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the little girl standing by the door frame with only her small head revealed. Her lively eyes blinked, looking as if she was waiting for Jeremy to discover something.When Jeremy turned over the little heart, he saw a few words that had been not so neatly written on the paper.[Daddy, Lillian will be good.]Seeing this sentence, Jeremy felt that he really deserved to die.His little princess thought that her father ignored her because she was not being good, so she said she would be good and hoped that Jeremy could accept her.A feeling of pain silently engulfed Jeremy's heart. He looked at the red heart in his palm, then at the child who was smiling innocently. He then gently put the heart on the coffee table.After he p
Jackson hurried in, saw the torn paper in Lillian's hand, and gradually understood something.However, the kindergarten teacher was still criticizing Lillian. "Lillian, they just wanted to play with you. They didn’t mean to ruin your painting. How can you bully your classmates?"The boy cried harder. "Teacher, Lillian is so fierce! I just wanted to be friends with her.""Do you hear them? Lillian, they didn’t have bad intentions." The kindergarten teacher continued to comfort the little boy.When Jackson saw Lillian staring at the aggrieved boy, he felt that things were definitely not that simple."Teacher, my sister wouldn’t casually bully others. Have you checked the surveillance to see what happened?"The kindergarten teacher knew that Jackson and Lillian were brother and sister, but she did not expect Jackson, a child, to say such things.She froze for a moment before saying solemnly, "Lillian's brother, I’m a teacher. I will judge who is right and who is wrong. Regardless,
"Lillian!" Fabian dashed toward the car, but the car quickly drove away from him.Fabian looked around and decisively stopped a man who was starting up a scooter.He put a safety helmet on Jackson's head, then picked him up onto the scooter. "Hold on!"Jackson nodded firmly and hugged Fabian's waist tightly.Fabian looked at the car that was dashing away with sharp eyes, then quickly chased after.The other party was clearly prepared, however, and outdistanced Fabian who was tailing close behind the car.Fabian had to stop the scooter. He looked at the busy fork in the road and punched the seat with a fist. "Sh*t!"Madeline was done with work early that day and wanted to pick up the two children from school before Jeremy came to pick Madeline up.After arriving at the kindergarten, however, she was told that Jackson and Lillian had already been picked up.Madeline was worried it was a person with ulterior motives who picked up the siblings when she suddenly received a call fro
However, besides Ryan, who else was there?"I’m sorry I didn’t look after Lillian properly." Fabian apologized solemnly.Madeline did not blame him either as she knew that Fabian had always been good to Lillian.At this moment, Madeline's phone rang.The call was from an unfamiliar number. She answered it decisively without hesitation.The other party was straightforward. "Is this Eveline? Your daughter is in my hands now. If you don't want your daughter to be hurt, you’d better be ready to transfer 20 million to my designated account. I’ll notify you later on the specific time."Thinking that it might be a kidnapping case, Madeline kept calm."Eveline, did you hear?" The other party thought Madeline did not hear him, so he impatiently urged. "Do you not believe that your daughter is in my hands? Then I’ll let her say just a few words to her mother now."After the kidnapper's words fell, Madeline's heart seemed to burn in discomfort.Her Lillian could not speak."Little thing
At first, Madeline thought it was a call from the kidnappers, but it was a woman's voice that sounded from the other end of the phone."Eveline, are you worried about not being able to find your mute daughter?"Madeline suddenly stopped in her steps and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?""You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that your mute daughter will meet your parents soon. Hmph," the woman sneered, then she hung up the phone without saying anything else.Jeremy got into the car and saw Madeline standing in the distance, seemingly out of it. He got out of the car and walked toward her again. "Linnie, you just stay at home with Jack. I’ll bring Lillian back safely."Madeline suddenly returned to her senses and took Jeremy's hand. "Jeremy.""Don't worry." Jeremy understood the worry in Madeline’s eyes. He soothed her, affection and concentration in his bewitching eyes. "Trust me, I’ll definitely bring our baby girl home safely."‘Our baby girl.’The corner
Seeing Madeline coming, Ryan got out of the car and opened the passenger's door for her. "Get in the car."Madeline was worried about Lillian at the moment and did not want to deal with Ryan at all. "You really think I’ll go with you?""Do you want the reagent that can remove the poison from Jeremy's body?"Madeline raised her eyes that were full of doubts, fixedly looking at the calm man."Get in.""I won't get in your car." Madeline decisively refused. "Even if you really have the reagent, you wouldn't give it to me so easily. I won't trust you anymore."Madeline turned around coldly."If you give up now, it means you want to watch Jeremy die in front of you with your own eyes. Do you know what a person who has been infected with this poison will look like before they die?"Nerve cramps, skin rotting... No one will recognize them in the end. They’ll suffer immensely until the last moment of life that death would be preferable."Hearing these descriptions from Ryan, Madeline'
