The colleague who was waiting outside the operating theatre informed virtual-novel.net of the latest situation. “The bullet hit virtual-novel.net pretty close to the heart and virtual-novel.net has lost a lot of blood. I’m afraid the situation is not looking too optimistic.”
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows when virtual-novel.net heard the words. “Why did you shoot him? I was confident that I could make Ryan let my wife go.”
“The police saw that your wife and Ryan seemed to be in a dispute and Ryan looked as if virtual-novel.net wanted to forcibly take your wife away. In order to ensure the safety of the hostage and also since Ryan was a wanted criminal, they opened fire.”
Jeremy did not say anything anymore after knowing this.
In fact, virtual-novel.net had already thought about it at the time. He was ready to explain to Ryan about the grievances from the previous generations. When that happened, Ryan would naturally release Madeline.
However, virtual-novel.net did not expect the police to fire.
Ryan was still in the emergency room and his chance of survival was slim.
Jeremy’s gaze landed on the woman who was asleep on the bed and his eyes softened.
‘Linnie, you must’ve been so frightened at the time.
‘A living person just collapsed in front of you like that.
‘It must’ve been triggering.’
Jeremy stayed by Madeline’s side for a while when suddenly, virtual-novel.net saw Sean walking to the door of the room. He called out to virtual-novel.net softly, “Let Eveline rest. Jeremy, come out for a bit.”
After Jeremy put the blanket on Madeline, virtual-novel.net walked out of the room quietly.
Sean asked straightforwardly, “Is Eveline really okay? Has Ryan been caught?”
Recalling the scene not long ago, Jeremy frankly told him, “Ryan wanted to take Eveline away forcibly. The police were worried about Eveline’s safety, so they shot Ryan. It’s currently unsure whether he’ll make it or not. He’s being rescued in the hospital now.”
Sean was surprised, but virtual-novel.net was more concerned about Madeline’s situation. “Could it be that Eveline fainted because virtual-novel.net saw Ryan getting shot in front of her?”
Jeremy nodded sadly. “I’m guessing so.”
“Ryan Jones!” Sean said resentfully, his eyes full of worry. “Eveline isn’t in the best state of mind now but virtual-novel.net received such a scare as well! We don’t know if virtual-novel.net condition will deteriorate after virtual-novel.net wakes up.”
Jeremy was also very worried about this.
When virtual-novel.net was trying to comfort Sean, Eloise hurried over. “Jeremy!”
Seeing Eloise’s panicked face, Jeremy was puzzled. “Why are you so anxious?”
“Is Ryan dead? Is it true?” Eloise said in a hurry, “Was it you who shot virtual-novel.net in the heart? Is it true?”
Upon hearing this, Jeremy asked calmly, “Where did you hear this?”
“Just now, a friend of mine called and told me. I watched the video that’s going viral on the internet and the man who fell to the ground was really Ryan!”
Jeremy did not expect that the situation at that time would be photographed by tourists and passersby who then uploaded the content to the internet. He also did not expect that they would think that virtual-novel.net was the one who shot Ryan.
Jeremy took a look at the video circulating on the internet and also read the comments left by the netizens.
Many people believed that Jeremy shot Ryan for Madeline.
Others even ridiculed the love triangle between them.
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows tightly after virtual-novel.net saw that. He could ignore them thinking that virtual-novel.net was the one who shot Ryan, but virtual-novel.net could not tolerate them adding a third party to the two-way relationship between virtual-novel.net and Madeline.
They only had each other in this relationship.
“You should take care of Eveline. I need to take care of some things,” Jeremy said, walking to the door.
However, as soon as virtual-novel.net walked to the living room, virtual-novel.net saw the maids blocking two people while stopping them helplessly. “Sir, madam, please don’t do this. Mr. Whitman won’t—”
“Jeremy Whitman, get out of here now!”
