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
Jeremy did not call out to Madeline as Jeremy was worried that he would alert Ryan of his whereabouts.Ryan did not notice that Jeremy was approaching. He opened the car door and ordered Madeline to get in, “Get in the car. I’ll take you to see your Jeremy.”Madeline glanced at Ryan questioningly and frowned before turning around reluctantly.However, the moment she was about to get in the car, Madeline caught Jeremy speeding over from the corner of her eyes.She turned her head to look as a surprised smile suddenly appeared on her face.Jeremy also noticed that Madeline had spotted him. He wanted to tell Madeline to pretend that she had not seen him to avoid being discovered by Ryan, but Madeline was quicker and shouted at him like it was the more natural thing to do.“Jeremy!”Madeline tugged her lips into a smile and called out to Jeremy. At the same time, she tried to run toward him.Eventually, Ryan realized that Jeremy had already discovered his whereabouts. Seeing that M
Upon hearing Ryan's words, Madeline realized that she was in a serious crisis.She turned sideways and tried hard to get up from the ground when Ryan pulled her over with brute force to make her face him.“Eveline, I can't let go of this last chance.” Ryan's eyes were filled with unstoppable determination. His eyes were scarlet like a demon from hell as he stretched out his hand to tear Madeline's skirt.Madeline grabbed Ryan's unruly hand and bit him without hesitation.Ryan frowned in pain. He did not expect Madeline to still have a sense of resistance.However, he ignored it and grasped Madeline's hands with his. Then, he bowed his head to kiss her.“You b*stard, let me go!” Madeline struggled with all her strength, but her strength was nothing compared to this man. “Jeremy!”She called out to Jeremy, longing for this man to appear and protect her.“You b*stard, you lied to me! You said you’ll bring me to see Jeremy!” Madeline angrily rebuked Ryan.The kiss that Ryan was ab
She was a little skeptical but did not hesitate nor delay things before decisively removing the gauze that had been stained with blood.After seeing the bloody wound, Madeline was taken aback.“You’re lying to me. I didn’t cause this.” Madeline stared at Ryan in dissatisfaction. “You’re despicable. You lied to me and told me that you’ll take me to find Jeremy, and now you’re lying to me again by saying it was me who pushed and hurt you.”Ryan chuckled nonchalantly when he heard Madeline reprimanding him. “Yes, I was lying to you. So what are you going to do to me?”Madeline pursed her lips while looking at Ryan with contempt in her eyes."I won't do anything to you. I just want you to let my parents go and stop targeting Jeremy.”Ryan felt conflicted for a while after listening to Madeline’s request.Her parents were already safe and so was Jeremy.She obviously knew these, but now, she seemed to have lost her memories again. She had no idea about it.She really was not right
Ryan's eyes were gentle. There was no longer the vicious and treacherous glint that he had in the beginning.However, Madeline was still a little afraid. “What do you want?”Ryan glanced at the bandaged wound on his shoulder and then stretched out his hand to try to grab Madeline's hand, but the result was as expected.Madeline avoided him. “What the hell is it?” she asked directly.Ryan smiled sadly. “You'll know soon.”He finished saying that profoundly and slowly stood up. While facing Madeline's uneasy and inquiring eyes, Ryan suddenly spoke seriously, “Eveline, after you fulfill this requirement, I’ll personally send you back to Jeremy.”Madeline widened her beautiful eyes. It was obvious she did not believe what Ryan was saying, but she knew she had no choice.…When the cab Jeremy was in passed a crossroad, he lost the cab Ryan and Madeline were in.After finding the surveillance footage, he found the dilapidated villa.However, as soon as he entered, Jeremy could sens
“Where’s Eveline? Did she not come back with you?” Eloise’s eyes were filled with longing.Jeremy frowned, and his heart was uneasy. He looked at Eloise and promised, “I’ll go and bring Eveline back immediately. Mom, Dad, rest assured. I’ll bring Eveline home in one piece.”After Jeremy finished speaking, he turned around decisively. He originally wanted to ask Old Master Whitman something, but now he did not have the mood to do so.He knew that Sean was right to scold him because Ryan was indeed a lunatic.Ryan was now at the end of the road and the only one who could give him the opportunity of winning was Madeline.Jeremy used almost all his connections in Glendale. After half an hour, he finally got a clue…On the streets that were basking in the molten gold of sunset, Ryan held an ice cream topped with whipped cream and handed it to Madeline.Madeline did not want it, but Ryan directly stuffed the ice cream into Madeline's hands domineeringly. “I bought it for you. Finish e
Madeline raised her eyebrows, the ice cream in her mouth seemingly tasting bland and tasteless.Even if her current mental state was not normal, she still understood what was being said.At that moment, the kind and gentle face of Old Master Whitman appeared in her mind reflexively.“You're talking nonsense. Grandpa is not that kind of person.” Madeline defended Old Master Whitman without hesitation.“I have evidence,” Ryan retorted coldly.Madeline seemed to be taken aback. She fell silent and then she heard Ryan say, “My grandfather and Jeremy's grandfather were very good friends back then. My grandfather trusted that old fart way too much and that’s why he had to suffer a miserable death in the end.”Ryan still wanted to say something, but he felt that Madeline might not understand him.He sighed and chuckled as if he was talking to himself. “I think you’ve already experienced the feeling of being betrayed by a good friend of yours, right?”He seemed to be asking Madeline. “
