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.
Following his comment, Madeline fixed her gaze upon the item in Jeremy's hands.A thin layer of mist was shrouded in the moonlight, quietly shining on Madeline’s face that had suddenly become much more gentle.At that moment, she was like a very quiet doll. She was quiet and obedient without moving an inch. Her eyes reflected the colorful rays."Jeremy." Madeline raised her hand and took away the colorful but faded shell from Jeremy's hand.Her childhood memories were flashing in her mind vividly."This is the shell that I gave to Jeremy," Madeline said softly, her emotions not as agitated as previously. "Why is it with you? So it's true that you guys captured Jeremy, right? You stole it from him!"Jeremy held Madeline's cold hands. "Linnie, this is the gift you gave to me as a token of love. I never gave it to anyone, and no one ever took it away from me, silly. Listen to me, I'm your Jez."Madeline's eyes gleamed as she focused her gaze on Jeremy. She appeared to be in deep th
When it was approaching dawn, Jeremy heard a commotion coming from outside. He went out and reminded Karen to keep an eye on Madeline if she woke up.Karen was puzzled but still nodded and agreed. Just when she wanted to ask about the reason behind it, Jeremy had already spun around and returned to the room.As Madeline was still sleeping, Jeremy could close his eyes to take a nap.However, not long after he fell asleep, he started having nightmares. He dreamt that Madeline had escaped again and this made him jitter.He suddenly woke up because of shock and realized the other half of the bed was empty."Linnie."Jeremy got out of bed and rushed out of the room. The moment he wanted to head downstairs to look for Madeline, he saw her talking to the two children in the hall downstairs. This made his heart that was beating anxiously suddenly calm down.Jeremy headed back to the room, cleaned up, and hurriedly changed his clothes. He then ran downstairs to Madeline's side. All he wa
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
