Madeline looked up to stare at that wretched smile. The man was a stranger, but she felt like they had crossed paths before. She was certain that he must have been an enemy of hers before she lost her memories, or he would not do something so extreme, let alone say something along the lines of ‘we meet again’. Tanner squatted down to grab Madeline’s delicate chin as she stared at him with a sharp and analytic gaze. “Tsk. What? You don’t remember this old friend of yours?” Madeline turned her face to fight Tanner’s hold with a dignified look in her eyes. “Good friend? Who are you to call yourself that?” Tanner was displeased. “What are you even arrogant about, Madeline Crawford? Let me tell you. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands again, I’m never going to let you go!” He stood up and gave Madeline a gluttonous look from above. Regardless of what angle he stared from, Madeline was still breathtaking. No. It would be more accurate to say that she had grown even more beauti
That accomplice was most likely an enemy of hers as well.By the time Madeline could guess who that woman might be, Tanner had hung up and returned. He took a rope to tie Madeline’s legs together while he continued to spout vile things from his mouth. “Just wait obediently for me to come back, Madeline. Then, I’ll show you how good I am!” Tanner then blindfolded Madeline’s eyes with a scrap piece of cloth before leaving the factory happily and locking the door behind him. Madeline tried to struggle, but it was to no avail. … Time ticked soundlessly away and it was already nine o’clock. In the town office, Jermey waited quietly. Watching young couples walking in happily hand-in-hand and walking out with sweet smiles on their faces, Jeremy could not help but think of the scene when he and Madeline had gotten registered. She was just like these girls, eyes full of hope as she admired him carefully. Thinking of her adoration-filled eyes, Jeremy’s heart ached. It was hi
Jeremy took off the cloth that covered Madeline’s eyes the same time she asked her question.Just as she felt the light, Jeremy's worried face was also reflected in Madeline's eyes. ‘It really is him.’Madeline muttered silently in her heart, and somehow, a feeling of security flowed through her heart."Linnie, how are you? Are you hurt?" Jeremy asked with distress as he quickly untied the rope that bound her hands and feet.Madeline shook her head. She was about to say something when she saw that the back of Jeremy's right hand was full of blood.She glanced at the broken glass window and suddenly realized that he had actually smashed the window with his fist.Seeing that Madeline did not answer him, Jeremy asked again while feeling more worried.“Linnie, who brought you here? Did that person hurt you?"Madeline came back to her senses. "It was a man. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before, but I can't recall it now."She was about to stand up as she said this, but her legs
Tanner quickly tried to think of something in a panic as he quietly walked to the iron gates.He heard the voices of Madeline and Jeremy talking inside. Jeremy already knew that he was the one who kidnapped Madeline."MD, I really know that I did it!" Tanner quenched his dissatisfaction.He glanced at the barrels of gasoline at the gates, gritted his teeth, and shook his head.Jeremy found the tool to unlock the door and was about to act when Madeline suddenly caught a strange smell with her keen senses. "It smells of gasoline."Jeremy turned around. "Gasoline?""It's getting more and more intense." Madeline nodded and suddenly saw a red glow in the surroundings. "Someone has set a fire."The moment Madeline's voice fell, the tongue of the flames followed the path of the gasoline, and in an instant, it spread around the entire abandoned factory!They did not expect to encounter such a situation again.Jeremy calmly picked up the tool and slammed the door lock. "Linnie, don't b
The moment Jeremy let go, Madeline's hands were cold and her heart seemed to have fallen into an icy abyss.She called Jeremy's name but received no response.As Jeremy pushed her to safety, she heard a dull crash.She did not know what it was but faintly felt that Jeremy was injured.Madeline rolled from the wooden box to the ground. She coughed in discomfort. Ignoring her sprained ankle, she immediately stood up and ran to the door that was blocked by the wooden box."Jeremy, can you hear me? Jeremy? Answer me quickly!" She called out to Jeremy in a panic, but she could not get any response except for the sound of burning fire.Madeline's vision suddenly became blurred. She tried to push the wooden box, but it was to no avail.The black smoke in front of her had blinded her sight and it seemed to swallow her breath and heartbeat as well. Seeing the tongue of the fire rushing out in front of her, Madeline dazedly opened her large eyes that were filled with tears. Her eyes flick
Madeline held Eloise's hand, her eyes looking panicked. "Where’s Jeremy? Is he really... Is he really dead?"Eloise was stunned for a moment when she saw that Madeline's face filled with panic and her eyes full of tears."Eveline, did you have a nightmare?" Eloise soothed, saying, "Jeremy is hurt quite badly, but it’s not life-threatening."After receiving Eloise's answer, Madeline suddenly found her heartbeat again."He's not dead?""No," Eloise replied in the affirmative, "But his legs and hands are injured. Just like you, he also inhaled a lot of smoke, so he hasn't woken up yet."It turned out it was just a nightmare.It turned out that his life was not in danger.Madeline suddenly felt that her heartstrings were no longer a jumbled mess and the pain that was suffocating her heart was instantly gone.Eloise was observing the changes in Madeline's expression, silently understanding.It turned out that Eveline cared about Jeremy so much.After calming down, Madeline asked
It was Winston's voice.Madeline quickly turned to the side and stood behind the wall.With her gaze low, she saw Jackson blinking beside her while looking at her questioningly with his big, pure, and clean eyes. Madeline suddenly felt as if she had done something wrong and her cheeks became slightly warm."Mommy, what are you doing? Why aren’t you going in to see Daddy?" the little guy asked innocently.A touch of ruddiness appeared on Madeline's fair cheeks. "Your dad seems to have woken up, so I won’t go in.""Why?" Jackson fluttered his big lively eyes, not understanding.Madeline bent over and touched Jackson’s head while smiling softly. “Jack, you’re still young and don’t understand many things. Mom is a little tired and wants to sleep a little longer. You can go in and see your father, but please don't tell him that I was here."The little guy was now even more confused but nodded obediently.Madeline returned to the ward and lay down quietly.Recalling the moment when
"Didn't he hurt his leg? How did he get discharged so soon?" Madeline remembered that Jeremy's hands and legs were injured.Eloise avoided Madeline's gaze as she went over to help her. She said slowly, "Since the doctor said he can be discharged from the hospital, I think there should be no major problems.""He's fine. I don't want to owe him anything," Madeline said indifferently, revealing her determination to draw a clear relationship with Jeremy.Eloise smiled and nodded, not daring to tell Madeline that Jeremy's injuries were serious.He had hurt the muscles and bones in his calf and was currently having difficulty walking.He even lost sight in his eyes and could not see anything now....After Felipe returned from the hospital, the first thing he did was to have his men investigate Madeline’s kidnapping.Following the trail of Madeline's kidnapping, he found Tanner who was hiding in an apartment building one step before the police. At the same time, he learned of the ent
