Madeline shouted to stop her, but it was already too late.
That woman was dead set on throwing the antidote away!
Madeline leaped to catch the bottle, but it flew out the balcony and down to the ground.
She reached out to catch it only to touch the air. “No!”
Seeing the scene from the small window on the door, Jeremy slammed open the door and ran toward Madeline.
The woman in sunglasses was shocked to see Jeremy rush in.
Seeing that Jeremy did not realize virtual-novel.net presence at all, virtual-novel.net was relieved but also displeased.
Jeremy shot toward Madeline’s side and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms in shock as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net reach out to catch the antidote.
“Linnie! What are you doing?” Jeremy cupped virtual-novel.net face as hurt swirled in his eyes. He was staring at virtual-novel.net frantic and reddened eyes. “What is it? Why are you so nervous?”
Madeline could not answer Jeremy’s question. Pushing virtual-novel.net away, virtual-novel.net ignored the injury on virtual-novel.net leg and ran out.
Jeremy turned around to find that the woman had disappeared.
Without thinking too much into it, virtual-novel.net dashed after Madeline.
The sky had darkened long ago and the scarce streetlamps could hardly light up their surroundings.
Madeline seemed to have forgotten the fact that virtual-novel.net was a patient as virtual-novel.net ran to the area directly below virtual-novel.net hospital ward. Disregarding virtual-novel.net injury and the dirt, virtual-novel.net began to rifle through the flower bed.
There was no wind and with the weight of the bottle, there was no way it would have been blown away by the wind.
It had to be here somewhere.
Madeline looked up, and for a moment, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net had no idea which level virtual-novel.net ward was on.
With no way to decide, virtual-novel.net only option was to pray that the antidote had fallen into the flower bed. For if it fell onto the ground, then the bottle would surely have shattered.
No way!
It could not shatter!
Madeline continued searching as the back of virtual-novel.net hand began to bleed after the leaves cut into her. However, virtual-novel.net did not realize it as virtual-novel.net mind was solely on searching for the bottle that had been tossed out of the balcony.
After having failed to chase Madeline to the elevator, Jeremy finally ran over to her.
He assumed that Madeline had only run down so frantically to search for the bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent. He was right, for virtual-novel.net was met with Madeline squatting by the flowerbed searching.
Striding over to her, Jeremy felt his heart tighten as virtual-novel.net watched Madeline ignore virtual-novel.net own body to search for the bottle.
Her complexion was pale and filled heavily with panic and nervousness.
Jeremy’s heart hurt at the sight. He ran toward virtual-novel.net to help virtual-novel.net up.
Seeing Madeline’s scarred and dirty hands, virtual-novel.net felt a strong pang of pain hit him.
“What are you doing, Linnie?” Jeremy asked, his heart clenching as virtual-novel.net stared at virtual-novel.net complexion that was drained of colors. “Did you forget that you’re injured? You need to rest.”
He wrapped an arm around virtual-novel.net waist and tried to carry virtual-novel.net away.
“I’m not leaving!” Madeline rejected virtual-novel.net and pushed virtual-novel.net away again. “Just leave me alone!”
Jeremy did not know where Madeline summoned virtual-novel.net strength from. The push almost had virtual-novel.net losing his center of gravity as virtual-novel.net staggered backward.
Madeline returned to the flower bed and bent down to keep searching.
Unable to bear the sight, Jeremy walked over to virtual-novel.net again to carry her. “Linnie!”
Madeline was angry as virtual-novel.net pushed Jeremy strongly. “I told you to leave me alone for now! Go away!”
“…”
Jeremy stood behind Madeline, feeling lost. He could not imagine that virtual-novel.net would one day be so angry to the point of pushing virtual-novel.net away.
His already worn-down heart felt like it had been shredded to pieces as blood began to flood his chest. His arms and legs grew cold.
It had not occurred to Madeline that virtual-novel.net went overboard with virtual-novel.net words and actions. The only thing that mattered to virtual-novel.net now was the anti-toxoid test reagent.
