Jeremy watched Adam ready the syringe and inject the substance into Madeline’s bloodstream.
The next few seconds felt like an entire century to him.
Madeline remained unconscious the entire time.
Unable to do anything but watch, Jeremy’s consciousness began to fade. He felt the unforgettable stab of pain spreading through his senses once again.
“Will virtual-novel.net be in life-threatening danger?” Ryan asked plainly.
Jeremy was waiting for such a reply as well. He watched Adam who was squatting by the floor. He started to keep his medical kit before virtual-novel.net started to speak, “Her major arteries are fine. Or I wouldn’t be able to do anything at all otherwise.”
Ryan then turned the camera to himself.
“You heard him, didn’t you, Jeremy? Follow my demands earlier or you’ll never get to see Eveline again.”
Ryan then hung up the call.
Seeing the screen change, Jeremy’s mind immediately replayed the piece of information virtual-novel.net had just hurriedly glimpsed of just now.
He turned around frantically without a moment’s hesitation.
…
Madeline slept the entire night away and by the time virtual-novel.net woke up, virtual-novel.net caught a warm ray of sunshine entering the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Blinking virtual-novel.net eyes tiredly, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was still alive. Her mind felt heavy and virtual-novel.net thoughts were haywire.
Madeline turned around to see Ryan standing by the bed. Instinctively, virtual-novel.net shuddered as a cold feeling settled in virtual-novel.net body.
Ryan scoffed at Madeline’s reaction. “You don’t even fear death, so why fear me?”
Madeline stared at Ryan blankly, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with unease and fear.
She was truly afraid of him.
He had finally managed to smoothen such a strong and courageous woman’s sharp edges and push virtual-novel.net to a corner.
Ryan walked over. Sitting by the bed, virtual-novel.net reached out for Madeline’s chin.
Madeline did not have the strength to escape or speak, so virtual-novel.net merely stared at the man in front of virtual-novel.net in fear.
“I didn’t want to hurt you. You were the one who forced me to.”
Ryan leaned closer toward Madeline, his warm fingertips tracing virtual-novel.net pale and cold face.
“I really don’t want to hurt you. I want to be good to you, but you’re not giving me the chance.”
“I want to see and be with my parents,” Madeline parted virtual-novel.net lips and begged softly.
Ryan hesitated. He was stunned for a few seconds before virtual-novel.net finally nodded. “Very well. I can allow your parents to return to Glendale, but you must stay with me.”
Madeline stared at Ryan in slight confusion before virtual-novel.net finally nodded.
Ryan felt his heart aching inexplicably at the dazed look in Madeline’s doe eyes.
She had suffered quite a bit over the past few days and lost a substantial amount of blood. In addition to virtual-novel.net pushing virtual-novel.net over the edge, virtual-novel.net body and soul suffered considerable harm.
However, this was his only option to keep Madeline by his side and for virtual-novel.net to listen to him.
Ryan left and had the maids send virtual-novel.net food.
Madeline seemed terrified when virtual-novel.net saw the maids entering the room. Her actions were exceptionally careful and drastically different from how virtual-novel.net used to act.
Adam came over to perform a simple check-up and realized the difference as well. “Something seems wrong about virtual-novel.net today.”
Ryan had realized it as well. “Could it be the effect of the reagent?”
Adam’s gaze shifted slightly as virtual-novel.net replied ambiguously, “It might be.”
Then, a bodyguard suddenly rushed into the room on their own accord to report to Ryan, “Jeremy Whitman has found us, Mr. Jones!”
