Seeing this scene, Madeline paused.The scene of Ryan getting shot and collapsing in front of her appeared in front of her eyes once again.The warmth of the blood splashed on her face seemed to be scorching hot on her cheeks.Jeremy obviously felt the sudden drop in temperature of the hand in his palm. It became so cold.“Linnie, are you okay?”Jeremy asked worriedly.Madeline returned to her senses after she heard his voice. She shook her head gently. “I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered that night. He said that he had to take me away, but I just wanted to return to you and then he—”“Eveline Montgomery!”Before Madeline could finish, Mrs. Jones suddenly rushed frantically toward her with red eyes, trying to drag Madeline.Jeremy pulled Madeline into his arms to protect her. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.Mrs. Jones failed to grab Madeline and was infuriated.“Eveline, you fickle b*tch! At the end of the day, Rye became like this because of you! Initially, you thought
After she said that, all eyes fell on Madeline. At the same time, Madeline was also taken aback.Mrs. Jones wiped the tears from her face and asked hurriedly, “Nurse, how’s my son? Will he ever wake up?”“His injuries are too serious and his life is still in danger for the time being. Plus, he doesn't seem to have any desire to survive. He only calls out the name Eveline from time to time.”The nurse looked at Madeline as she said that.“Is this woman Eveline who the patient keeps mentioning?”Madeline nodded. “It’s me.”“Are you a friend of the patient? His will to survive is very weak, but he seems to be unable to let go of you. I don't know if you’d like to go in and help him—”“Did you make a mistake? My son is like this because of this woman. How could he still want to see her?” Mrs. Jones could not accept this fact.When the nurse heard this, she looked at Mrs. Jones in surprise. “Madam, this is about the life and death of the patient. Your son has been calling out to Mis
Madeline and Jeremy also raised their eyes and saw the doctor sighing helplessly. “We’ve tried our best and our hardest, but the patient does not have the will to survive. You need to prepare yourselves.”Upon hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Jones became lifeless.Madeline glanced sideways into the ICU.She thought about the words Ryan said to her before collapsing and the sincere look in his eyes at that time.‘Ryan.‘You haven't atoned for what you have done. Are you really going to give up everything and give up the idea of survival just like this?’“Eveline!”Mrs. Jones' emotional shriek pulled back Madeline's thoughts.She looked back and saw Mrs. Jones rushing to her in a hurry.She thought that Mrs. Jones would vent her anger on her and continue to curse as well as berate her, but she did not expect that the moment Mrs. Jones ran up to her, she had a pleading look on her face. “Eveline, please go in and save Rye! I’m begging you!”Mrs. Jones cried and pleaded, tears
The doctor said that all the necessary measures to treat Ryan had been done, but his will to survive was too weak.Most people would be seeking survival, but he seemed to be seeking death.However, it seemed that the only thing he could not let go of was her as he kept calling out her name."Perhaps you’re the only regret that he can't let go of in his heart,” the nurse from just now said.After listening quietly, Madeline walked to the bedside.Ryan's face was as pale as snow while his breathing was weak. Various tubes were inserted into his body to maintain his dying body.The beeping sounds from the electrocardiogram sounded as if they would stop at any time.Madeline approached him, and as soon as she walked to the bed, she heard Ryan calling out, “Eveline.”Sure enough, he could not let go of her.“Ryan,” Madeline called out to him. “I'm Eveline. I'm here.”“Eveline…” Ryan continued to call out Madeline's name unconsciously.Madeline frowned slightly. “Ryan, I'm standin
Mrs. Jones was emotional. She stretched out her hand to try to pull Madeline again, but this time, Jeremy did not give Mrs. Jones the chance to touch Madeline.He pulled Madeline into his arms and faced Mrs. Jones with an icy expression.“Why? Are you trying to abandon your benefactor upon achieving your goal? Talk properly,” he said coldly.Mrs. Jones was a little afraid of Jeremy and did not dare to talk. However, she began to question Madeline again after seeing the emergency in the ICU.“Eveline, you were in there for so long. What did you say to Rye? Did you deliberately say something that Rye didn't want to hear to stimulate him and is that why he’s getting worse now? Otherwise, why are the doctors giving first aid to Rye so hurriedly?”“Eveline, I didn't expect you to be so insidious!” Mr. Jones also followed suit and criticized.Jeremy loved his wife ardently, so how could he allow Mr. and Mrs. Jones to attack Madeline like this?However, when he was about to speak, Made
Jeremy did not want Madeline to stay in an environment like this. Plus, he was extremely enraged by Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ attitudes.When Mrs. Jones saw that Madeline and Jeremy were leaving, she looked over coldly and yelled out to Madeline while refusing to accept what had just happened, “Eveline, don’t think that I’ll thank you after Rye wakes up!”Jeremy stopped in his tracks. He was obviously unhappy, but Madeline stopped him.“Jeremy, it’s unnecessary.”Madeline was calm. She turned her face slightly, and her beautiful eyes glanced over Mr. and Mrs. Jones nonchalantly.“Do you think I’m expecting your gratitude? I was just doing something I wanted to do.”After she said that, she grabbed Jeremy’s arm and looked at the man whose eyes were filled with indignation. Then, she smiled at him.Jeremy’s eyes softened. He did not want to bicker with Mr. and Mrs. Jones anymore. As such, he held Madeline’s hand and left the hospital.However, judging from Madeline’s attitude just now,
What did she tell him?Madeline recalled what happened in the ICU just now.Madeline showed a rare mischievous smile after spotting the curiosity in Jeremy’s charming eyes.“Jeremy, are you dying to know what I said to Ryan?”Jeremy nodded and sounded like he was jealous when he spoke next, “I want to know how my wife encouraged that man who brought trouble to himself.”Madeline could sense the jealousy in Jeremy’s tone. She curled the corners of her lips and smiled. Then, she said seriously, “That night at the firework viewing platform, Ryan told me something before he got shot and collapsed.“He told me he was sorry.”After Jeremy heard this, he could slowly guess what Madeline said to Ryan in the ICU.“That day, he kidnapped me in the bookstore. He told me that he’d take me to you, so that’s why I went with him. Back then, I was seriously muddle-headed and I believed everything he said like an idiot. Then, he said as long as I promised his final request, he’d take me back to
However, after Felipe knew the truth about his parents’ death, he vanished.Before Felipe left Whitman Manor, Madeline had asked him what he wanted to do. However, he only told Madeline one sentence. He said he was going to repent for his sins and said that Cathy would know what he was going to do.However, Cathy was dead.Madeline and him were unable to guess Cathy’s thoughts and feelings.On the way home, Madeline sat in the car as her thoughts started to wander. “Cathy was such a great girl.”Jeremy held Madeline’s hand. “Don’t think about the sad things.”Madeline sighed in remorse. “It would be great if Cathy could be as lucky as I was back then. I know Felipe regretted this and he was upset to only realize the person he loved was Cathy when it was too late and Cathy had already...”“Linnie.”“Yeah.” Madeline knew Jeremy was concerned about her. “I’m fine. I just feel pity when I think about Cathy. If she’s still alive, she would be so happy…”After she sighed, the car st
