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.
His low magnetic voice somewhat bewitchingly passed through Madeline's ears like a summer night breeze.Madeline stood still as if she was caught in a trance as she watched the handsome face slowly approach.Jeremy tentatively pecked Madeline on the lips, and just as he expected, Madeline did not dodge him.Jeremy's heart rate started to get irregular. He grabbed Madeline's waist and kissed her again.With her eyes wide open, Madeline let Jeremy take over without a hint of resistance.Jeremy felt a little happy that Madeline was submissive to him.He could feel something. Maybe Madeline did not remember what kind of person Jeremy was, but Madeline still had feelings for him through contact. Therefore, she did not resist him as much as before.Jeremy lay down with Madeline in his arms. He pulled the belt of Madeline's bathrobe, but she suddenly pulled away from him.He opened his eyes to see her looking flustered, and her eyes were full of panic."Linnie, what's the matter?" He
Jeremy's first instinct was to grab Madeline's hand and hold her in his arms.He thought it was Ryan, but he lightened up when he saw the man who entered the apartment.Madeline did not care who it was as she only nervously held Jeremy's hand, her eyes red and watery."Where's your phone? Give it to me. I'll call you an ambulance!" She anxiously rummaged through Jeremy's pockets."There’s no need to call an ambulance. He'll be fine." Adam strode over to Jeremy with his medical kit.Madeline finally seemed to notice that someone had entered. She looked at Adam and was somehow stunned.Adam put down the medical kit and squatted in front of Jeremy.He took a look at Jeremy's condition before quickly taking out a syringe and the reagent before skillfully injecting Jeremy with it.Once again, Jeremy felt the familiar chill seeping through every cell of his body. After a brief period of numbness, the discomfort gradually subsided and his condition eased.Madeline noticed the change
"If it's a secret, how can I tell it to someone else so easily?" Adam did not seem to want to go into detail, but he was not hiding it either. He met Jeremy's inquiring gaze and said truthfully, "Jeremy, if I tell you that I didn't develop this slow-acting poison, would you believe me?" Jeremy would not have believed him if it was before.Now, he answered without hesitation, "Yes."There was a glint in Adam's eye when he got the answer, and gloom appeared on his handsome face."Do you know why I wanted to become a doctor?"Jeremy pondered for a few seconds and said, "It involves your parents, doesn’t it?"Adam was not surprised that Jeremy would have such speculation. "It seems that you’ve checked my background.""I've read up on you and Ryan," Jeremy admitted generously.Adam smiled faintly. He lowered his eyes slightly, and the reflection on his glasses made it hard to see his eyes and expression right now."From the moment I officially became a doctor and took the oath on
Sean was stunned for a moment before chuckling coldly."Are you saying that Lana used you? Hmph, that doesn't take away the fact that you started the fire! Did you forget how obedient you were to Lana? You wouldn't even glance at Eveline!" Sean was mad.At the end of the day, Sean could not forgive Jeremy for his coldness and indifference to Madeline back then."Eveline thought you were dead and cried every night. As her father, I know it full well!"She labored to carry a child for you, but what did you do? Didn't your heart ache when you let that crazy woman make Eveline so mad that she went into early labor and gave birth to Pudding unassisted?"Jeremy furrowed his long eyebrows slightly. 'How could I not be heartbroken?'When he saw her bleeding and suffering, he realized how important she was to him.It was just that he was blinded by the memories Lana had been feeding him."Jeremy, ask yourself how much Eveline loves and cares about you. You said you'd spend the rest of y
Karen was stunned after hearing what Madeline said. "Eveline, what... What are you talking about? This is Jack and Lillian. What's the matter? You don't recognize them?" she asked in disbelief. Her eyes shifted from Madeline's confused face to Jeremy."Jeremy, Eveline..."Jeremy had a distressed frown on her face. "Ryan drove her insane.""What?!" Karen was shocked and instantly furious. "What did Ryan do to Eveline? How could someone be driven insane?"Jeremy frowned deeper. However, for fear of upsetting Madeline, he spoke nothing and told Karen to hold off the questioning.He made Jackson take Lillian away to play on their own while he took Madeline back to their bedroom.When Madeline walked into her and Jeremy's room, the familiar furnishing was unfamiliar to her.However, Madeline seemed to be interested in the room's furnishing. She picked up a photo album next to the bedside table. After opening it, she saw a photo of herself wearing a wedding dress next to a delicate-lo
Old Master Whitman wondered why Karen would suddenly ask about this. He furrowed his gray eyebrows. "Where did you learn about this?"Infuriated, Karen told Old Master Whitman that she just came back from Jones Manor. "The Jones family is unreasonable. Look at what Eveline has become. How dare they say we deserve it?!""We deserve it? Did the Jones family say that?" Old Master Whitman's face darkened. He was visibly displeased.Karen nodded. "How could I joke about something like that? There were a lot of reporters outside and they all heard it."Old Master Whitman's brows furrowed when he heard that. Just as he was about to say something, Jeremy's voice rang."In that case, the media will break the story online soon.""Jeremy." Karen quickly got up and walked over to Jeremy, her eyes full of confusion. "You know about this? What the hell is going on? Why do I have no idea that there’s bad blood between the Whitman family and the Jones family? What do the Whitman family have to d
Madeline's expression changed when she heard this. She asked nervously, "Are you going to disappear?"The bitterness in Jeremy's heart was dispersed by the sweetness he felt when he saw how much she cared, but soon, he felt that he was going too far.'Why would I make her choose? Aren't I just giving her trouble by doing this?'Jeremy gave Madeline a reassuring reply, "No. I’ll always be by your side."Madeline let go of his hand in relief, and with a smile, he turned to a nearby restroom to change his appearance.It was late summer. There were not many people at the beach. Madeline stood by the car alone, looking at the blue sea. Many beautiful images recurred to her mind.However, as she looked on, her beautiful eyes caught sight of a figure that made her shudder reflexively.The man was wearing a black mask and cap. He merely looked at her with his long, narrow eyes.Looking into those eyes, the smile on Madeline's face faded. Even the hint of light sparking in her eyes dimm
