Ryan’s eyes were gentle. There was no longer the vicious and treacherous glint that virtual-novel.net had in the beginning.
However, Madeline was still a little afraid. “What do you want?”
Ryan glanced at the bandaged wound on his shoulder and then stretched out his hand to try to grab Madeline’s hand, but the result was as expected.
Madeline avoided him. “What the hell is it?” virtual-novel.net asked directly.
Ryan smiled sadly. “You’ll know soon.”
He finished saying that profoundly and slowly stood up. While facing Madeline’s uneasy and inquiring eyes, Ryan suddenly spoke seriously, “Eveline, after you fulfill this requirement, I’ll personally send you back to Jeremy.”
Madeline widened virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes. It was obvious virtual-novel.net did not believe what Ryan was saying, but virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had no choice.
…
When the cab Jeremy was in passed a crossroad, virtual-novel.net lost the cab Ryan and Madeline were in.
After finding the surveillance footage, virtual-novel.net found the dilapidated villa.
However, as soon as virtual-novel.net entered, Jeremy could sense that there was no one in the house.
Despite this, virtual-novel.net called out Madeline’s name hopefully, “Linnie, are you here? Linnie?”
Jeremy looked forward to hearing Madeline’s response, but the only response virtual-novel.net got was total silence.
He tried to find some clues. Shortly after, virtual-novel.net saw a first aid kit, used cotton swabs, and some blood-stained gauze on the coffee table.
Jeremy was even more certain now that this was where Ryan settled, but at this moment, virtual-novel.net did not know where Ryan took Madeline.
He returned to the car and leaned his head on the chair while feeling depressed.
‘Jeremy Whitman, what are you doing?
‘Did you just let Ryan take Linnie away under your nose?
‘You keep saying that you’ll protect her, but what happened?
‘You’ve put virtual-novel.net in danger again.’
Jeremy blamed himself deeply and scolded himself countless times in his heart.
However, self-blame would do nothing. He needed to use the least time to find Madeline.
‘Linnie, this time, I won’t let you wait for too long.’
Jeremy pulled many strings but still could not find any clues about Madeline and Ryan’s whereabouts after the entire morning.
When virtual-novel.net returned to Montgomery Manor, Sean was surprised to see Jeremy coming back alone.
“Didn’t Eveline go out with you in the morning? Where’s Eveline? Ellie has been missing virtual-novel.net for almost a day.”
When virtual-novel.net recalled Sean’s words on the plane, Jeremy could not help but feel anxious. Even so, virtual-novel.net still told Sean frankly, “Eveline was taken away by Ryan.”
“What?” Sean’s expression changed suddenly. “What happened? How could Ryan have taken Eveline away again? Jeremy, you promised me on the plane that day that you’ll take good care of Eveline. How could you allow Eveline to be taken away under your nose by that lunatic, Ryan?”
Sean yelled angrily. He was unable to calm down due to his worries.
“Ryan is a lunatic who can do anything! He’ll definitely torture Eveline now that virtual-novel.net has fallen into his hands! That child is already in a bad mental state and if Ryan does something to her, I’m worried that Eveline will not survive!”
Sean knew that it was useless to accuse Jeremy now, but virtual-novel.net still could not help but scold him.
“Jeremy, if anything happens to Eveline, I will never hand my daughter over to you again!”
Hearing the movement, Eloise walked over from the living room and saw Jeremy coming back alone. Then, Eloise looked behind virtual-novel.net expectantly.
