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
“I don’t think you’re seeing things.” Jeremy gave an affirmative answer. His gaze once again fell on the back of the man not far away.This figure used to be so familiar to him, so he would not see it wrongly.However...Jeremy took Madeline's hand and walked in. Old Master Whitman suddenly got up from the other side of the sofa. He looked at Jeremy and said with surprise, “Jeremy, look who’s back!”After the old master said that, the man who was sitting with his back to them slowly stood up, tall and straight.Then, he turned around. His once gentlemanly and elegant face looked more mature and calmer now.He and Madeline looked at each other. Then, he smiled slightly before turning his gaze to Jeremy's body.Seeing Jeremy's short, flax-colored hair and his pupils that were close to the color of amber, the man seemed surprised.“I knew you wouldn't die a long time ago. It’s just that I haven't seen you for so long and you even changed your image.” Felipe's tone was very calm an
“Jeremy, do you want to know where Ryan’s secret base in F Country is?”Jeremy lifted his deep eyes. “Do you know where it is?”Felipe nodded firmly. “I do.”Jeremy was surprised. He briefed Madeline before going to Interpol’s branch in Glendale with Felipe.Felipe provided the related address and information. Then, the people who were in charge quickly contacted the colleague over at F Country. Indeed, they instantly found the place where Ryan hid his illegal goods in F Country.Felipe’s clue played an exceptionally important role in this case.After they left the branch, Jeremy and Felipe walked on the streets. It was at the end of summer.The two of them did not have the barrier and rivalry they had before. Now, they could have a peaceful and friendly exchange.“How did you know about Ryan’s business? Also, how did you know where he hid the goods used for trading?” Jeremy asked Felipe the questions he had in his heart.After Felipe heard that, his thin and narrow eyes looke
Before Jeremy could finish talking, Felipe smiled and nodded.He stood under the tree next to the crosswalk and looked at the busy road. His eyes were filled with indescribable melancholy and loneliness.“Cathy’s gone and I don’t have much to live for. Cathy wouldn’t have died if I didn’t choose the wrong path back then and touched something I shouldn’t.”Felipe lowered his gaze in remorse. The hand hiding in his pants pocket was clenching around the small glass bottle.The person he loved the most was there.“I’ve done everything I need to do. The Stygian Johnson Gang has collapsed, Yorick is dead, and Ryan has been arrested, so I should go and surrender myself.”After he said that, Felipe let out a sigh of relief.The sun penetrated the green leaves and branches while creating mottled light rays on Felipe’s handsome face. He was smiling, but his smile looked bitter.“Sometimes, I wonder why Eveline could still forgive you and how you could still pick up the pieces and start a
