'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
Madeline felt her limbs become icy cold as if she had fallen into an icy cellar and her body was engulfed within the chilly ice cave.She felt an arm passing over her head. Then, the man behind her brought the book to her front."Hold it," the man spoke once again.Madeline's heartbeat went erratic as she quickly spun around when she heard the voice.When she raised her eyes, she met a pair of gloomy eyes that were gleaming with cunning.Madeline's emotions that had stabilized after so much effort were once again being forced to the brink of losing control."Ryan."Her lips moved as she spat out the word.Ryan lifted his hand and adjusted his cap, covering his pair of deep eyes. His pale lips were slightly curled up."I thought you would’ve forgotten about me,” he said in a tone that sounded almost flirtatious.Looking at Madeline's anxious expression, he raised his hands and attempted to touch her face, only for Madeline to evade. She wanted to escape, but Ryan was blockin
