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'
The same time his voice sounded, Jeremy swiftly struck at the man like an unsheathed sword blade.The man was burly, and he had strength. Seeing Jeremy rushing over, he threw away the bag in his hand and turned to run. At the same time, he made a call. "I’ve been found! Take that little thing away quickly! If it doesn't work, kill the hostage!"‘Kill the hostage!’These three words fell into Jeremy's ears. How could he bear it?He jumped up and kicked the back of the man hard.The man screamed and fell heavily to the ground.However, he quickly got up again and wanted to keep running when a person suddenly appeared right in front of him. At that moment when he did not have time to dodge, he was kicked in his chest by the person in front of him. He then fell backward to Jeremy clumsily.He wanted to get up again, but it seemed that the ribs on his chest had been broken. His face was pale with pain. He could not straighten himself up.Jeremy looked at Fabian who had suddenly appe
Jeremy's wise eyes swept across Fabian's face coldly. "Fabian, do you know why I became like this?"When Fabian heard Jeremy say this, he was filled with anger.He looked at Jeremy, noticing his linen gray hair and amber pupils. There was indeed a big change from the previous Jeremy.He did not quite understand it, but then he heard Jeremy say in a dissatisfied tone, "It's your good sister Lana who used a type of poison to make me like this.""What?" Fabian was shocked. "Didn't she like you a lot? How could she do such a thing to you?""Heh," Jeremy sneered, "That kind of woman, did you think that she really liked me? In this world, only Linnie cares about me sincerely.""..." Fabian was speechless for a moment. He was even more disgusted as to why he had a sister like Lana.The atmosphere in the car fell into a brief silence. After a while, Fabian could not sit still."Jeremy, are you driving in the wrong direction? Why haven't you found that car?"Jeremy did not open his mou
Jeremy and Fabian had not expected the man’s insane behavior.Seeing the car instantly surrounded by fire, Jeremy and Fabian ran toward Lillian at the same time.Jeremy's heart was as if it was being suspended from a height of 3,000 feet. His eyes were red when he looked at the child who had stayed in place because of his coldness.It was only a few steps away, but it was as if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.Jeremy hurried over, but suddenly, the car exploded violently."Lillian!" Fabian yelled hysterically.Lillian's petite body went flying from the explosive air current. Jeremy was enraged as he rushed to catch Lillian who was about to fall to the ground."Lillian!"He took the child into his arms."Lillian! Lillian!"The little girl blinked her big round eyes weakly. Looking at the man in front of her, her little mouth moved.“Daddy.”Although no sound came from the little girl's mouth, Jeremy saw it. She was calling him ‘Daddy’.Jeremy's visi
She opened her eyes slowly, and when she woke up, she only saw darkness with the only light around being from the car’s lights.The passenger door then opened. Ryan was standing outside the door, and his voice sounded out lightly. "We’re here. Get out of the car."Madeline looked around vigilantly before getting out of the car.Ryan led the way as Madeline followed behind him.She looked around. Apart from the darkness, there was more darkness. It was as if she was surrounded by a huge black cloth.Apart from their overlapping footsteps, there was no other noise.After walking for about tens of yards, there was gradually light ahead.Ryan stopped his footsteps in front of a door. He unlocked the door by scanning his eyes and then looked at Madeline meaningfully with a smile."First, I’ll bring you to meet an old friend."As Ryan's voice fell, a figure appeared in Madeline's periphery.She followed the figure who was captured by her sight and saw the man who she once regarded
Madeline looked at the anti-toxoid reagent in front of her and thought of Jeremy.She knew that Jeremy would definitely not be willing to see her compromising and accepting Ryan's despicable demands.However, she knew better that she did not want to see a day when he would be in so much pain.Madeline clenched her fists tightly and looked at the man in front of her who looked like his victory was already determined. Her gaze was firm."Ryan, you can make a request, but if you cross the line, I won’t compromise."Ryan walked up to Madeline and picked up the anti-toxoid reagent in his hand. He smiled deeply. "I'm afraid you have no reason to refuse. I don't want him to suffer. You have no choice but to agree."...Hospital.Jeremy was pacing back and forth in the corridor anxiously. The calmness he always had was gone at this moment.There was still blood on his palms that he had not managed to wash off. All of them came from Lillian.Jeremy closed his eyes and took a deep brea
