The man looked at the empty hospital bed in astonishment. He could not believe what he was seeing.He immediately ran to the windowsill with a panic expression and saw that the window was open. Moreover, there were a few obvious footprints on the windowsill outside.This was the fifth floor. Carter had actually jumped down from such a height!Panicking, the man immediately called his superiors.Madeline and Shirley shared a look and walked out of the room together.Not long after, Madeline pushed Shirley directly toward below the room from just now.There were indeed traces of someone stepping on the flowerbed. As such, they were basically certain that Carter had climbed down from the fifth floor and escaped.He had been shot twice, and the wounds on his arm and leg were pretty severe, but he was still able to escape like this while under surveillance. Madeline could not help but sigh.“His stamina has always been good, but I didn't expect him to be able to do what he wants und
“Lily, Daddy has something to do. He’ll be back when he’s done. Can you wait a little longer?”Lillian was an obedient and sensible child, so when Madeline said that, she nodded sensibly.Madeline looked at Lillian with gratification and then rolled up Lillian's sleeves to look at her skin.The small red spots on her skin were still very obvious, but those red spots had not increased compared to when they started appearing.It was because Shirley had asked Evan to buy an oral medicine to temporarily keep the disease under control.Shirley truly had not expected Carter to take action on such a young child.He must have given the child the injection at night when she and Lillian were both asleep.Shirley also did not know how many of the half-completed test reagents she previously developed Carter had.Perhaps when he thought it was necessary, he would use this extreme method to achieve his goal.Shirley could not help but fall into contemplation. Suddenly, she felt that she did
At the former address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.In the dark prison underneath, the sound of gurgling water came through the crack of the door at the entrance from time to time.With a squeak, the heavy iron gate was gently pushed open.A faint light beam came in from the crack of the door.Click.Someone turned on the lights.Jeremy, who was trapped in the pool, raised his eyes and saw Carter condescendingly staring at him.However, Jeremy found that Carter looked different and haggard at the moment. Additionally, his face was also very pale. He did not have the look of confidence he had that day.Carter lowered his eyes to Jeremy who was trapped in the pool.The water in the pool was not too deep, probably just above Jeremy's calf, but the pool was very large and deep. It was about two meters high and the walls were covered with tiles. One would not be able to climb up along the wall of the pool unless they knew how to fly.When he saw Jeremy trapped in such an environmen
Jeremy noticed this, and from Carter’s haggard and pale face, Jeremy also figured that Carter was probably injured.However, Jeremy did not know how he got injured.Regardless, when Carter had spoken, Jeremy started to think something was amiss.Somehow, Jeremy suddenly remembered the words he and Madeline had discussed.He still remembered what Madeline had said at the time. “Jeremy, I think Carter might’ve had something to do with Ryan’s death.”Jeremy thought silently, but he did not show the suspicion and confusion in his heart on his face.When Carter saw that Jeremy was silent, the smug smile on his face grew bigger.“Are you confused? Do you think it’s strange?” Carter asked with a smile. He then continued, “Jeremy, I can also tell you that I provoked your relationship with Fabian and made him mistakenly think that you guys caused the death of his brother and sister. So, that’s why he suddenly hated you and Eveline.“I thought Fabian could vent my anger for me, but I did
“A basement?” After a moment of confusion, Fabian gradually understood what Madeline meant. “Eveline, do you suspect that Jeremy is still in the old house belonging to the Stygian Johnson Gang?”“Yes,” Madeline replied without hesitation. “Carter asked Jeremy to meet him here and Carter was also here at that time, so I have reason to believe that Jeremy must be there too.”Upon hearing what Madeline said, Fabian suddenly felt that it was reasonable, but he could not think of any hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house.Maybe there was, but he did not know it.After thinking about it carefully, Yorick’s transactions back then had been very risky. Therefore, he might have had set up a few hiding places in the Stygian Johnson Gang house to facilitate absconding or hiding.”“Eveline, so are you at the house now?” Fabian asked worriedly. “I heard Carter ran away from the hospital. So, if you are there, you have to be careful.”After hearing what Fabian said, Madeline's heart su
With his leg injured, he walked very slow.Madeline started following Carter.Although Carter was walking slowly, Madeline found out that he had a deep understanding of the internal structure of the Stygian Johnson Gang house.Madeline followed him for a while and came to the back garden of the house.The flowers in the yard had wilted, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground that had been neglected.However, there was a piece of land with significantly fewer leaves nearby.Madeline had a sudden thought when. at this moment, Carter walked over and pressed the hidden switch on the side of the flower bed, and then an intersection leading to the basement in the open area without fallen leaves appeared before him.Unexpectedly, there was a hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house. Madeline was surprised, but she figured that it was normal for Yorick to build such a place when he was in that kind of business.However, Yorick probably did not let his younger brother Fab
Madeline tightly grabbed onto Jeremy's hand, feeling the unusually low temperature of his palm.The thought of Jeremy might have been soaking in the water for two days instantly made Madeline feel as if a thousand knives slit her heart.When Jeremy saw that Madeline's eyes were reddening and bordering on tears, Jeremy quickly tried to comfort her. “Linnie, don't be sad. I'm fine.”“You’re fine? How can you be fine? You’ve been trapped in such a place for two days. How can you be fine?” Madeline's voice trembled. She tried to pull Jeremy up with her strength, but it was too difficult.She looked around and found some stairs that could be lowered in the corner of the pool, so she hurriedly got up and ran over.“Linnie.” Jeremy saw Madeline's intentions, but he did not think Carter would let him out so smoothly.“Linnie, why did you come in here? You need to leave now. Carter will take action against you.”Jeremy persuaded her despite knowing very well that Madeline would never lis
Carter smirked sinisterly, turned around, and left.The heavy iron door was quickly closed, leaving only Jeremy holding Madeline in a bridal carry in the pool.Madeline knew that Carter would not come back and release them, so she did not hold any hope.Her heart felt more grounded now that she had seen Jeremy.“Jeremy.” Madeline glanced at the man, raised her arm to circle around his neck, and hugged him tightly.“I was really worried about you. You said that you would see Carter after thinking of a countermeasure, but why did you take the risk alone? You know he wants to deal with you, so why did you walk directly into his trap?”After listening to Madeline's complaints, Jeremy could feel Madeline’s care and concern for him.He pulled his sexy and beautiful lips into a smile. “I'm fine, don't worry.”“You’re still saying you’re fine?” Madeline let go of her hands, distress filled her wet but beautiful eyes. “Hurry and let me down first.”“I’m not tired.”“Are you planning t
