Jeremy's answer enflamed the fire in Carter’s heart.A few seconds later, his lips pulled into a wicked smile.“It seems that God wants the two of us to end this face to face. Okay, then we will do just that!”Carter was about to make a move immediately after speaking. Judging from his actions, it seemed that he was carrying a gun.“Carter, I advise you not to act rashly.”At this moment, another voice came from the front.Fabian walked over calmly with his hands in his pockets.When Fabian appeared, the group of people who wanted to catch Carter that day appeared behind him.Soon after, Carter was surrounded by those people again.“Carter, don't try to struggle unnecessarily!” the man holding the gun warned.“We received the orders from the higher-ups to take you back to St. Piaf for interrogation. If you dare to resist violently, we will also take corresponding measures to deal with you. We hope you know what’s good for you now.”“What’s good for me?”Carter repeated thes
Jeremy looked calmly at Carter whose eyes were hostile. Jeremy curled his lips and smiled softly. “Carter, look back at the grievances we had. I have always been in a passive and ignorant state.”“Passive and ignorant?” Carter raised his eyebrows, feeling that this was ridiculous.“Hasn’t he?” Madeline asked on behalf of Jeremy. She then asked sternly, “Ever since you rescued me at sea and allowed me to settle down in your residence, I knew that you had been investigating Jeremy. Carter, do you have the guts to say that you weren’t finding a chance to get close to Jeremy this whole time? You know what your purpose was.“The series of things that happened afterward were all caused by you. If you hadn't asked Shirley to develop the anti-toxoid test reagent and use it on me, why would Jeremy choose to inject Shirley with that anti-toxoid test reagent in retaliation? You and Shirley’s child was very innocent, but do you dare to say that you weren’t the one who caused this?”After heari
Carter glared at Jeremy grudgingly, knowing that he could no longer turn back.Shirley, who was watching this scene unfold, was relieved instead.She truly did not want to see Carter making mistakes again and again. This was the best outcome.When she saw that Carter was about to be taken away, Shirley rolled the wheels of her wheelchair with all her strength to follow him.Carter was resentful at this moment, but he could not resist.Eventually, his hateful eyes fell on Shirley, and the hatred in his eyes instantly dissipated, turning into a touch of warmth and tenderness.“Stop following me,” Carter shouted to Shirley who was tailing him, his eyes filled with a rare touch of warmth.“You should go with them and slowly forget about me.”When he said this, it seemed that a painful emotion had flashed across Carter's eyes.“Shirley, we’re destined to be separated. I hope you can live a good life.”After saying this, Carter went into the car that would detain him without lookin
At the mention of this, Madeline and Jeremy looked at each other and smiled tacitly.“Actually, we nearly drowned.” Madeline sighed with a smile and then recalled the scene.At the time, the water level was slowly rising, and only when the water level reached below her waist did Madeline think of a way to save herself.“Jeremy, do you still have the strength? I should be able to reach the edge of the pool if I stand on your shoulders.”Jeremy seemed to realize this too, “I can do it, Linnie.”He said firmly and slowly squatted in front of Madeline. Since their clothes were getting wet, Madeline felt that her weight had increased a lot.Moreover, Jeremy had been in the water for two days, so she was worried that his legs would not be able to support her weight.Sure enough, as soon as she crawled on his back, she felt Jeremy’s legs buckled out of exhaustion.She stopped moving immediately and looked at him worriedly. “Jeremy, are your legs very weak now?”Jeremy did not hide it
Madeline said and threw the chair into the water. Jeremy stood up strenuously and brought the chair to the edge of the pool near Madeline and stepped on it.Madeline reached out and grabbed Jeremy's hand tightly.“Jeremy!”“Linnie, my legs are a bit weak. Why don't you go out and call someone first?”“I’d like to go out and call for someone, but there isn’t anyone around. I’m afraid that if I went too far, something bad would happen to you. I can't leave here. I can't let you disappear from my sight!”Madeline emphasized, holding Jeremy's hand harder.“Jeremy, I’ll pull you up, I’ll definitely be able to!”“Linnie.”Looking at Madeline trying so hard and so determined, Jeremy was also determined not to let himself fall at this critical moment.However, his legs were too weak and numb. Worried that he would pull Madeline down if he exerted too much force, Jeremy decided to let go.Madeline could see what Jeremy was trying to do, so she abruptly knelt down and stretched out her
Upon hearing Madeline's answer, Fabian felt like he was dreaming.How was that possible?Jeremy and Madeline were not opposed to it?Upon seeing the dazed Fabian, disbelief on his face, Shirley, as a bystander, also spoke up.“Actually, even an outsider like me can see clearly that you really care about Lily, Mr. Johnson. With you taking care of her, I think any parent would be at ease.”Upon hearing Shirley's words, Fabian felt a little embarrassed.“You should continue chatting, I'll head back to the room first. I have to work out an antidote as soon as possible so that the rashes on Lily's body disappear soon.”Shirley said and turned the wheelchair.Madeline glanced at Jeremy before following Shirley, “I'll take you back to the room.”Shirley wanted to refuse, but she figured that maybe Madeline had something to tell her, so she did not refuse.After returning to the room, Shirley went straight to the desk.Madeline saw the data that Shirley had studied in the past few d
“Ryan was still the highest administrative commander in Interpol at the time. So, Ryan used his position to help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money, and he profited from it. Carter had always known about this, and he was also involved.“Ryan was actually a very smart and excellent person. Carter was also very happy to work with him, and the cooperation had always been very pleasant, but then, Ryan slowly began to act differently, and the reason was you.”Shirley raised her head as she said that. Her eyes locked on Madeline tightly.Madeline frowned in confusion. “Because of me?”“Yes, because Ryan fell in love with you.”Shirley explained and sighed.“It's really hard for a person who’s blinded by love to think rationally. Speaking of which, Ryan and I are really similar. In the end, we both embarked on the path of self-destruction.”Shirley chuckled and sighed, but she quickly emphasized again.“Ryan's death has nothing to do with you. I think Carter figured that Ryan's pr
Madeline and Jeremy followed Fabian to the door of Lillian's room. Before they walked in, the couple heard Fabian's gentle and coaxing voice coming from the room.“What's wrong, Lily? You can’t sleep?”Fabian asked very gently, and Madeline and Jeremy saw their baby princess nodding slightly.Fabian was very patient, and he took a storybook from the shelf on the side. “Well then, Lily, be a good girl and close your eyes. I will tell you a story.”Lillian liked Fabian’s suggestion.The little girl obediently nodded her head and closed her eyes.Fabian then sat down on the side of the bed and softly read from the storybook and patiently…As they watched this scene, Madeline and Jeremy felt warmth in their hearts.They did not continue to peek, and the two turned back to the guest room.After returning to the bedroom, Madeline lay down on the bed tiredly. She had been exhausted for the past few days, but now, she was finally relieved.The entanglement with Carter could finally c
