“Where am I?” Madeline parted virtual-novel.net lips and asked the man who had his back toward her.
The man slowed down and turned his face slightly. His resolute and perfect jaw looked even more exceptional under the light.
“It’s not important where you are. If you still want to go home, then stop your tears.” His voice was also as cold as his aura.
Madeline clutched the handkerchief tightly. “Were you the one who saved me?”
“I was just passing by.” His answer was straightforward.
Madeline remembered that virtual-novel.net did see another yacht heading toward virtual-novel.net before the yacht Ryan was on exploded.
Perhaps this man was on that yacht and coincidentally, virtual-novel.net witnessed the yacht exploding so virtual-novel.net saved her.
“Thank you.” Madeline looked at the man’s back and thanked him. At the same time, virtual-novel.net remembered Ryan who was still on the yacht. “Did you save my friend too?”
“Friend?” The man sounded puzzled. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around. “Do you mean the man who was chasing you on the other yacht?”
When virtual-novel.net heard this, Madeline was stunned. Then, virtual-novel.net answered softly, “Yeah.”
The man looked at Madeline with no expression on his face. After two seconds, virtual-novel.net answered, “You should take care of yourself.”
Madeline did not know how to feel when virtual-novel.net heard that.
She was hurt so badly, so Ryan must also be horribly hurt as well. However, Madeline had no idea about Ryan’s condition right now.
She picked up the handkerchief to softly wipe away the tears in the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
That was right, virtual-novel.net could not cry.
She had seen everything, so what was virtual-novel.net afraid of?
Madeline tried to comfort herself this way, but when night fell, virtual-novel.net could not help but overthink again.
She did not know how badly hurt virtual-novel.net face was. Would virtual-novel.net be able to restore it to the way virtual-novel.net looked before?
She started to have nightmares. She dreamed that virtual-novel.net went back to Jeremy with a battered face and virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net away before walking away with a woman who looked the same as virtual-novel.net previously looked.
Her children did not want to pay attention to virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net parents did not know her. She was like an ugly duckling who had been abandoned. She could only walk away in disappointment.
This dream kept on repeating, and in the end, it became a nightmare that pestered virtual-novel.net to no end.
After much struggle, Madeline woke up from virtual-novel.net nightmare and realized that virtual-novel.net was covered in a cold sweat. In addition to that, virtual-novel.net face was so unbearably dry and itchy. She wanted to scratch it, but virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net could not do that. The only thing virtual-novel.net could do right now was to endure this and power through it.
Madeline was counting the days. She waited for the day when virtual-novel.net could finally remove the gauze as virtual-novel.net desperately wanted to know how badly injured virtual-novel.net was.
She also had the urge to call Jeremy. However, when virtual-novel.net remembered virtual-novel.net condition right now, virtual-novel.net got rid of that idea.
It was so difficult for virtual-novel.net to even speak a full sentence. If Jeremy knew about virtual-novel.net condition right now, how would virtual-novel.net be able to take this?
Madeline thought about it and decided to send a message to Jeremy to at least tell virtual-novel.net that the Madeline next to virtual-novel.net right now was not the real her.
Then, virtual-novel.net saw the maid who came in with virtual-novel.net breakfast. Madeline wanted to borrow a phone from her. Just then, the man who the maids called ‘sir’ walked in.
He still looked cold and elegant. He never had much of an expression on his face. When virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline was able to get out of the bed to walk around, virtual-novel.net said flatly, “You’re recovering pretty well.”
“Thank you for saving me, and please relay my thanks to your doctor and maids too. They’ve been taking really good care of me. Thank you.” Madeline thanked virtual-novel.net sincerely but was not used to virtual-novel.net current voice.
The man did not say anything. His eyes that were as cold as night glanced at Madeline. “What’s your name?”
“Eveline Montgomery.”
“Eveline Montgomery,” the man repeated like virtual-novel.net was chewing on something. After a while, virtual-novel.net said, “Didn’t you want to know the condition of your friend on the yacht? I can take you to see virtual-novel.net now, but you’d better be prepared.”
