Madeline's expression changed as if she had just thought of something."Mom, Dad..."She lightly blinked her lovely, soulful eyes, then knitted her finely-shaped velvety brows.Solemnly, she urged Ryan, "Please help me inform Jeremy that I’ll be back after seeing my parents. If he comes looking for me, do let him know..""..." Upon hearing Madeline's words, Ryan and Adam were both simultaneously dumbfounded.Madeline sat up straight in a very self-possessed manner, and said to the driver, "Please start the car now. If we leave early, we can return early. I still need to come back here and wait for Jeremy. He said he’ll pick me up."Ryan finally knew what was off about Madeline.He looked at her flawlessly beautiful profile in disbelief, his long brows furrowing. "Take care of her and don't let anything happen to her,” Ryan ordered.Adam nodded to express his understanding, then slowly rolled up the car window.Ryan stood in place for a while, watching the car that was getting g
Ryan could not be more familiar with this voice.Ryan's gaze went past the people in front of him and fell on the man who was walking toward him slowly.This person was not just anyone. It was someone he trusted the most in recent times—Adam.Jeremy was a little surprised when he saw Adam but also not particularly surprised.He had already almost figured everything out on the way here.The mysterious man who had given him first aid, brought him to the hospital, and sent him the message was Adam.Ryan looked at Adam who was slowly walking toward him, the proud smile on his face disappearing. "Why are you here?" Ryan's expression was cold. In fact, he even wanted to ask Adam why he said those words just now.Adam smiled calmly, lifting his dark eyes that were behind his glasses."Where did you think I would be otherwise?" Adam asked with a faint smile. "Did you think I was following your instructions and bringing Eveline to the settlement point you mentioned?"When his words f
He took Ryan's wrist and pushed it away before gently smoothing out the collar of his white coat.“Ryan, the mission of a doctor or nurse has always been to save people.”Adam's answer shocked Ryan as he flew into a rage. “What are you talking about, Adam?”However, Adam remained calm. His eyes, however, were indignant. “I didn't want to expose you at a time like this, but the worst thing you’ve ever done is to hurt other people again and again in front of a doctor.”“What?” Ryan laughed sarcastically. “So you told Jeremy that I was here?”“Yes,” Adam admitted frankly. “Not only did I tell him about this place, but I also saved him after you injured him and sent him to the hospital. When you threatened him with Eveline, I also told him that she’ll be fine.”Adam told him everything he had done.All of these were exactly as Jeremy thought.The mysterious man who had been helping him was indeed Adam Brown!However, Ryan was completely stunned after listening to this.He looked
He looked at Adam who was standing in the same place. At this moment, he could not let go of the person who was still hiding in the depths of his heart.He wanted to ask a question, but when he looked into Adam's eyes, he felt that it was no longer necessary.“If he resists arrest again, just shoot him directly!”Jeremy heard such a command from one of his colleagues.He did not delay anymore and immediately started to hunt Ryan down with the rest of them.However, Ryan seemed to have expected such a thing to happen a long time ago. He got onto his motorcycle that was parked in the garage and sped away.One of the Interpol agents shot Ryan as he was getting away on a motorcycle. Although he did not hit Ryan's vital parts, the bullet passed through his arm and injured him.“Get him!”The leader commanded. Before he set off, he felt very sorry for Jeremy when he saw Jeremy's worried face. “Jeremy, I know you’re worried about your wife now, so leave Ryan to us. Go and find your wi
Jeremy recomposed himself and gently carried Madeline out of the car. When he carried Madeline out, Jeremy saw another man lying in the driver’s seat. He seemed to be the driver.He was not interested in understanding this person's situation. Jeremy was filled with anxiety when he looked at Madeline who was still asleep.“Adam, what's wrong with Linnie? You didn’t tell me everything in the car just now.”“You don't have to worry too much. She’s just asleep now. I gave them all injections, including the driver. Otherwise, how could I have turned back so quickly?”Adam explained, “Take Eveline back to where you live first. I’ve already called the police, and someone will soon arrest this driver of Ryan’s.”As he said that, he took out a business card and stuffed it into Jeremy's jacket pocket.“Here’s my contact information. If you have any questions, you can call me again. I have to go back and deal with some personal matters.” Adam turned around carefreely after speaking.“Adam.
However, when Madeline was hugged by Jeremy, she reacted fiercely and pushed him away. She hurriedly retracted her legs back to the bed and pulled up the blanket to wrap it around herself.Madeline's eyes were full of trepidation as she held her arms tightly, muttering to herself, “Don't come here. I’ll do everything you say, I’ll listen to you. Don't force me…”Jeremy stared at Madeline with a frightened expression. As he listened to what she was saying at the moment, he gradually understood why Madeline was having such a reaction.It was because Ryan had tortured her so much that she became like this.Jeremy clenched his fists. A storm raged in his deep eyes. Soon, the darkness and coldness in his eyes dissipated for Madeline’s sake, leaving only gentleness and warmth that were like the spring breeze.“Linnie,” Jeremy gently called out to Madeline before raising his palm to caress her head, but Madeline shrank her neck and was obviously avoiding his touch.“Linnie, I’m Jeremy.
Adam analyzed Madeline's current situation before saying, “Her situation seems to be a bit more serious than before. It doesn’t rule out the possibility that she’ll forget you completely.”Jeremy's thin lips were pressed together tightly. He was restraining the anger that was almost gushing out.“Is Ryan the one who forced her to be like this? What did that lunatic do to Linne?” Jeremy slammed his fist down on the table. He was already trying to control his emotions, but he really could not remain calm and composed.As he held an outsider's perspective, Adam was relatively calmer than Jeremy. After thinking about it, he finally told him the cruel facts.“She has suffered a lot of injuries during this period, all of which were caused by Ryan.“Ryan thinks that Eveline is too strong and her willpower is too tough. What he hopes is that Eveline can completely obey him and cling to him, so that’s why Ryan wants to sand her sharp edges and thorns.“His method is to force her to do som
Jeremy sounded like he was pleading with her as he hugged her even harder for fear that she would slip away again, but Madeline seemed to be triggered by him as she struggled with her last remaining strength.“Let me go, I have to wait for Jeremy! He’s coming to pick me up soon!”Jeremy was heartbroken. His eyes were red as he sobbed. Then, he held up Madeline's panicking face. “Linnie, I am Jeremy! I'm here to pick you up.”Madeline paused and then raised her unique, beautiful eyes to meet Jeremy's affectionate and gentle ones.She looked at Jeremy seriously again for some time as if she was exploring something.Seeing that Madeline was not so emotional anymore, Jeremy stroked her cheek lightly. “Linnie, take a closer look. I’m the love of your life, Jeremy.”“Jeremy…”“Yeah, Linnie, it's me,” Jeremy answered without thinking.Just when he thought that Madeline was gradually getting an impression of him, in the next second, a look of resistance appeared on her small face.“Yo
