Jeremy settled Madeline down before leaving to capture Ryan.Only after Ryan was captured could Linnie stop being scared and recover in a comfortable, relaxing environment.Madeline poked her head out of the window and looked at Jeremy's back as he ran off. There was a vague uneasiness in her beautiful eyes."Jeremy's gone again,” she muttered sadly. A touch of melancholy and worry appeared on her face again.Thinking about what Jeremy had just told her, Madeline sat quietly in the car.However, her heart was beating wildly. Ryan's appearance earlier had startled her.On the other hand, Ryan had been keeping tabs on Madeline and Jeremy. He followed them back the same day they flew back to Glendale.He knew that the police and IBCI were looking for him, but he would not allow himself to be caught until he achieved his goal.After scurrying off, he hid in an alley.The injury he got that day was still inflamed, making him feel a bit off.He wanted to go home, but he read some n
With that, Ryan stopped his arrogant chuckle as his expression changed immediately. He pulled out a gun he had prepared and quickly fired a bullet at Jeremy before turning around.However, Jeremy would not allow himself to be Ryan's target and let him slip away again.He lifted his long legs and dodged the bullet with the help of a crate stacked nearby. At the same time, he leaped to his feet. His cold body came to Ryan's side in a single leap.Ryan jerked back, shock flickering across his face.He grabbed his gun, trying to shoot Jeremy again.However, Jeremy was quick to react. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the gun from Ryan's hand. He countered Ryan and pointed the gun at him.Facing the black muzzle in front of him, Ryan lapsed into a trance. He was not expecting such a twist.Jeremy looked at Ryan with an indifferent expression while Ryan's face changed slightly. There was a chill in Jeremy's eyes."Ryan, I'm not arresting you as an IBCI agent but as Eveline's husban
Ryan raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes, with vision blurry due to his injury, looked particularly bleak."Is it alright for you to come after me and leave Eveline alone in the car?" Ryan's smile got a little sinister.Once he finished speaking, Ryan noticed that Jeremy's finger on the trigger had loosened.Jeremy felt butterflies in his stomach when he thought of Madeline who was left alone in the car before he came to catch Ryan.He looked at Ryan who was smiling insidiously and immediately turned around to sprint back to the spot before.'Linnie!' Jeremy shouted Madeline's name in his head.He was afraid.He was afraid that Madeline was in danger again.He realized that he had been careless. He should not have left Madeline alone in the car.'She's not in a good state of mind. How could I just leave her and go after Ryan?'Linnie!'Jeremy felt tormented. He quickly sprinted in the direction of the car.It was a short distance away, but Jeremy felt that the road
'Thank God, it was all just a lie from Ryan.’He silently let out a breath of relief, and the worry in his chest dissipated."Linnie, I told you to wait for me in the car. What are you doing here?" Jeremy loosened his hug and looked at Madeline's eyes as he asked gently.Madeline lowered her gorgeous eyes. "I didn’t want to risk being unable to see you ever again."Jeremy felt a surge of warmth within him when he heard her reply. He could also feel the heat in his eyes. Then, he extended his arms and hugged Madeline tightly again.Their breaths mingled in the air, and their heart was pumping fast with thrill."Linnie, you'll never have to endure days when you can't see me ever again. From now onward, I'll be with you every single second."Madeline smiled and closed her eyes, leaning in Jeremy's arms.Upon returning from April Hill, Jeremy told Interpol everything about Ryan and informed that he was the one who used his gun to injure Ryan.However, Ryan was a cunning man. Despi
Jeremy could no longer remain rational in such a situation.After being absent-minded for a few seconds, he went from being passive to becoming more initiative. He held Madeline completely in his arms and placed his lips over hers…This period of separation had made his yearning for her grow stronger to the point where he was unable to control himself.Even in his dreams, he longed to hug the one he loved the most to sleep. However, he was unable to realize such a simple wish."Linnie, Linnie…" he kept gently calling out to her by her ear. Each word was spoken with much passion.Jeremy could no longer control his emotions and allowed his mind to take over him. Both of them were indulged in that summer’s night that was engulfed in a lovely atmostphere.They had a good night’s sleep.When the sun was shining, Jeremy woke up. He lowered his head and saw Madeline cuddling in his arms like a kitten.Her face was still stained with bright red, as if it was an artwork left from their
Madeline heard Eloise's comment and was puzzled.In the next moment, she once again heard Eloise's sigh of loneliness. "My Eveline is not willing to bother a mother like me, so I thought that even this Eveline can’t be bothered about me as well."As Eloise was talking, she picked up a snack that she just made and placed some of it in Madeline's hand. "If I knew you were coming, I'd have made more of it since you said previously that you love it."Madeline blinked her gorgeous eyes. She wanted to say something but did not know what she should be saying.Sean and Jeremy witnessed this scene that made them frown."I thought Eveline had recalled everything. I didn't expect her to just remember the old you.""I'm really speechless. Eveline ended up just like her mother, half-crazy and half-dumb."Sean sighed in sorrow and lifted his head to look at Jeremy who was wearing a wig and colored contact lenses."The poison in your body, is it really possible to get rid of it completely?"
Jeremy felt as if his heartstring were being pulled painfully as he was completely awakened at that moment.He switched on the table lamp. Under the soft lighting, he saw Madeline drenched in a cold sweat. She was tightly holding onto the blanket, her eyes shut as she frowned. Her mouth kept blurting for help. She was terrified."Jeremy, don't go, don't go…"She was dreaming, and her tone sounded like she was crying. Jeremy could even see tears coming out from the corners of Madeline's eyes.He could easily guess that she was having a nightmare. Heartbroken, Jeremy held onto Madeline's hand. "Linnie."However, as soon as he called out to her, Madeline had a huge reaction and shoved his hand away forcefully. "Ryan, what do you want?" she suddenly questioned.It was obvious that she was dreaming of Ryan. In her dream, Ryan was trying to force her to do something she was reluctant to do.Jeremy was hurt, and once again, he stretched his hands out to grasp Madeline's icy cold hands.
'No, it's just been a short while. Linnie couldn't have gone far.'Jeremy thought to himself as if he was trying to comfort himself.He was too afraid he would let her go missing again.He used to be a man who was not afraid of death, yet currently, he was trembling with fear till his palms were soaking with cold sweat."Linnie!"Facing the air, Jeremy shouted out Madeline's name, but the only reply he got in return was the sound of the tree branches being blown by the night breeze.'Where are you, Linnie?'Silly, your Jeremy is right here.'Jeremy felt as if his heart was being set on fire where it was roasted, burning him.At that moment, he heard a yell and the sound of someone falling on the ground from afar."Linnie!"Jeremy quickly headed over in the direction of the sound and saw it was Madeline who tripped over.Not knowing the reason, she had run to the river behind the villa. Under the street lights, Jeremy could clearly see Madeline having fallen onto the ground.
