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
The man was in a hurry, but when he saw Madeline completely ignoring him and having no intention to give way, he hurriedly swerved his bike. He ended up hitting a tree in front of him and fell to the ground in a wretched manner.Madeline stopped when she saw someone suddenly falling in front of her.The man screamed in pain and raised his head to see Madeline standing in front of him. Then, he opened his mouth to curse ferociously.“Did you not hear me telling you to get out of the way? You look beautiful, but are you blind or deaf? You caused me to f*cking fall!”“Who do you think you’re talking to? Say that again if you have the guts!” Jeremy stepped forward to pull Madeline behind him. When he looked at the man with his cold and sinister eyes, the man shivered.He bent down and stretched out his hand to grab the man's shirt. Then, he warned frigidly, “You’re riding in the opposite direction of the sidewalk and you still dare to criticize others? Apologize to my wife immediately
Jeremy slowed down because of that word.It had been so long since he heard that name, and he would still feel sweet when he heard it.The memory that seemed to be covered in the dust as time passed was once again unfolded before his eyes.Jeremy figured that Madeline was also probably thinking of the unforgettable memory of being at the beach with him back then.He smiled knowingly, and suddenly, he had an urge to tease Madeline.“Is the Jez you’re talking about a very important person to you?” Jeremy asked deliberately in suspicion.Madeline snapped back from her memories and answered seriously without thinking, “Of course, he’s important.”“How important?”When Madeline was about to answer, she suddenly retorted unhappily, “Why should I tell you?”“...” Jeremy had nothing to say at that moment. In fact, he knew the answer in his heart a long time ago.‘Linnie, I’ll make you slowly remember that I’m the Jez who’s very important to you,’ Jeremy promised silently. Just then,
He was the man who made her wait for too long until Ryan was able to torture her into this state.“Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll take you back to wait for Jeremy.” He coaxed her as he was left with no other choice.Tomorrow, he would take her back to Glendale.After all, this was Y Country. This place would not be as comfortable as her hometown.When night fell, Jeremy made a sumptuous dinner by himself. Madeline was satisfied with the meal. She did not resist him as much as before and was willing to eat the shrimp that Jeremy peeled for her.Moreover, there was a small and elegant smile on her face.For a moment, Jeremy also felt that he was content with their current state.She had experienced too many bumps and pains along the way. She only had a handful of happy days.Suddenly, he hoped that she could be as carefree as she was now. He hoped that she would be able to live a carefree and peaceful life with a childlike nature.After nightfall, Jeremy prepared a bath for Madeline b
Jeremy thought he had heard it wrong, but soon after, he heard Madeline calling him again.“Are you there?” she asked. There was no longer the sound of running water coming from inside, so her voice was particularly clear.“You said you'll be keeping watch at the door, but now you’re not answering me when I'm calling you, you liar.”Madeline's complaints fell into Jeremy's ears.He never knew that he would be so happy even after being accused of being a liar.Jeremy did not hesitate anymore. He opened the bathroom door again and walked straight in.Madeline had finished showering and was wearing a loose bathrobe while sitting on the edge of the bathtub.There was still some lingering mist that had not dissipated in the bathroom. Under the hazy mist, Madeline's red face that was covered with water droplets looked like an untainted lotus as it beautifully reflected in Jeremy's pupils.Jeremy would be lying if he said he was not moved, but he could only endure it at this moment.
