Jeremy swiftly looked up and saw Evan walking in.“You’re Fabian’s friend? Are you a doctor?” Jeremy slowly got up. “You must have a way to contact Fabian. Where is he?”Without answering Jeremy’s question, Evan walked up to Jeremy, turned on his phone, and pointed at the screen.“Is this the anti-toxoid test reagent you mentioned?” Evan showed Jeremy the picture.Jeremy’s gaze immediately flitted over, and his eyes instantly lit up once he saw the picture.“That’s it. Where did the picture come from?”“Fab just sent the picture to me.”“Fabian?”Evan nodded. “He just found the anti-toxoid test reagent in your wife’s bag, and he’s driving over here with it now.”When Jeremy heard that, his heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, partially settled.“How long until Fabian arrives?” Jeremy felt impatient. He was worried that Madeline would wake up before Fabian arrived. He was even more worried that her agony would be as bad as it had been last night.Evan glanced at the ti
“…”Jeremy stuttered; his words stuck in his throat.Jeremy trembled before the look in Madeline’s eyes which were staring upon him. "Linnie, I…""Linnie?" Madeline repeated the word and suddenly let out a soft but cold chuckle. "What's wrong with you? The man who I love most but hates me most is now calling me Linnie."Madeline giggled and slowly got up.Jeremy wanted to head over to support her but was rejected disdainfully by Madeline.He could tell that Madeline was not in her right mind now as her reddened eyes sparkled, contrasting her unusually pale face.Madeline, supporting herself with one hand, sat up on the bed, and her other hand suddenly went to her chest.She closed her eyes and breathed strenuously.The normal rhythm of her breathing and heartbeat were disrupted."Linnie, would you please give me some time and hear me out?" Jeremy pleaded with a meek tone.Madeline’s cool and composed attitude before him made him recall her vengeful look back then.He was
Madeline was surprised by Jeremy’s sudden reaction.She had intuitively wanted to evade him this moment, but Jeremy suddenly spread open his arms and locked Madeline in a tight embrace.Madeline was astonished. Currently, in her mind, Jeremy hated her. He loathed her. He would never hug her the way he did now.Thus, she thought this was a setup.When she attempted to free herself from Jeremy's hug, he softly spoke into her ear."You're sick, Linnie. You've forgotten that you already forgave me. You’ve also forgotten that we're now in love with each other."'I’m sick?'Madeline thought that Jeremy was lying to her.When she looked at the room again, however, it certainly did look like a ward.She also felt that her body was quite uncomfortable and her breathing was erratic; each of her heartbeats was accompanied by a slight ache.Regardless, to Madeline, everything that was happening now still seemed like Jeremy was lying.Suddenly, Madeline burst into laughter."Jeremy, you
Jeremy looked at the clock. While waiting for Fabian's arrival, Jeremy observed Madeline. He noticed Madeline gradually lay on the bed on her side, half curling her body with her back facing him.Jeremy, noticing Madeline’s discomfort, truly wanted to rush in, but was afraid he might set her off again.Besides, Evan came in earlier to notify him that Fabian would be arriving soon.In no time, Fabian indeed arrived.With a cool expression, Fabian briefly met Jeremy's eyes, then lifted his hand and handed the anti-toxoid test reagent to Jeremy."Take it."Jeremy felt relieved the moment he saw the anti-toxoid test reagent.Although it would not be able to completely eliminate the poison in Madeline's body, at the very least, it could help stabilize her condition.Jeremy took it, then looked at Fabian and conveyed his gratitude, "Thanks."Fabian did not speak. It was Evan who kindly asked, "Do you need my help?""Mr. Whitman is already very used to carrying out injection procedu
Madeline did not find Fabian to be unfamiliar because ever since her arrival there, she had seen Fabian and Evan the most.She could tell that Fabian intended to block the entrance, but she had no means of retreating.The moment she took a step forward, her wrist was yanked by Jeremy who came rushing over behind her."Believe me, Linnie. I'm not lying to you. You're really sick. Once you've taken this injection, you'll know that I'm not lying to you."Jeremy emphasized sincerely, hoping that Madeline would believe him.However, Madeline only wanted to free herself from his grip. "It's impossible for me to have faith in you again, Jeremy. I no longer have feelings for you!""Linnie.""All of you, get away. Even if I were to die, I'll not die in any of your hands."Madeline desperately struggled to loosen Jeremy’s grip, intending to push Fabian aside and rushed out after that.Fabian, however, was less merciful than Jeremy as Fabian grabbed Madeline's arm in a domineering manner
Evan looked at Jeremy's back as Jeremy left in a hurry, and Evan felt puzzled. "Fab, what did Jeremy inject her with earlier? Why does it seem more effective than a sedative? Would Eveline be able to recover with this single injection?"Fabian glimpsed at Jeremy's outline as Jeremy got further away, then frowned. "Recover? If it's anything like that from last time, I don’t think it’d be that easy to completely recover.""Anything like that from last time?" This piqued Evan’s curiosity again.However, Fabian dared not continue. He no longer wished to mention the unpleasant thing Lana had done in the past.Jeremy had previously rushed throughout the night without settling down. Currently, he rented a room in a hotel nearby.When he was renting a room, the customer service lady, at the sight of the unconscious Madeline in Jeremy’s hands, had thought that Jeremy had ill intentions toward Madeline until Jeremy presented a photo of his and Madeline’s marriage certificate. The customer s
Cathy spun around when she heard the commotion, and saw Shirley gracelessly falling onto the ground. The wheelchair beside Shirley was turned over, and she was lying flat on the ground, unable to get up.Upon seeing the situation, Cathy quickly spun around and headed over.She squatted to help Shirley up, but Shirley rejected Cathy, shoving Cathy’s hand."I don't need your pity!" Shirley bit on her lips, eyes agleam with self-deprecation. "Adam must be overjoyed to see me in such a state, isn’t he? He could restore my appearance, yet he’s unwilling to perform the surgery on me! The same goes for you as well."Shirley, fists clenched, glanced at Cathy."You don’t intend to help me at all. You're just forced to take care of a useless person like me because of Adam!""You know that you're forcing this on others, then?" Adam suddenly walked in through the door.Shirley briefly paused, before letting out a cold chuckle."Hehe. Adam, you’re finally speaking your mind. You’ve never th
“Adam, come over and give me a hand."Adam understood Cathy's meaning, but in fact, he had already intended to help.However, Shirley was aware that Cathy and Adam were trying to help her up at the moment, but she pretended to be deep in thought, silently accepting Adam and Cathy's kind intention.The sun began to set for the evening.Adam parked his car at the entrance of the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.Although it was before the time for the commencement of the wedding banquet, the entrance was already streaming with guests.Shirley was sitting at the rear seat of the car, watching the guests going into the main entrance. She was familiar with many people there, actually.Carter's wedding ceremony was a grand one. A day before the wedding, the net was bombarded with the news of his wedding.The honorable viscount of St. Piaf was about to get married, and it attracted the attention of many.Additionally, once Carter's daily life photos were posted on the net, it immedia
