Jeremy felt his heart stop. Thanks to momentum, Madeline fell forward and into Jeremy’s arms. She had no idea what burning entity pierced through her body, but warmth and content settled over her the moment she fell into Jeremy’s embrace. “Jeremy.” She raised her hand to hug the dazed man. “You finally found me, Jeremy.” Madeline panted, her breaths coming out short. With a pale face, Jeremy pulled Madeline into his arms. He had no idea where the wound on her body was, but he felt the stickiness of fresh blood. “Don’t sleep, Linnie. I’ll send you to the hospital!” Carrying Madeline up and running frantically forward, Jeremy seemed to have completely forgotten that he too was a patient tormented by the poison inside him. Leaning heavily against Jeremy’s chest, Madeline felt content. “I knew you’d find me. I knew, so I was waiting for you all this while. I missed you so much, Jeremy…” She talked about her yearning weakly. Jeremy’s vision slowly blurred under the bre

Madeline wondered if she was missing Jeremy so much that she was hallucinating him, but the silhouette before her grew clear in her eyes. She reached out to touch the approaching man, but the mere act of raising her arm tugged the wound on her shoulder. “Mmph.” She made a muffled sound at the pain. Jeremy strode over to sit by the bed and pull her into his arms. “Linnie.” Feeling the solid warmth against her, the corners of Madeline’s eyes burned. She raised her haggard and small face, her expression filled with heartache. “Does it still hurt? Did the poison torment you again? You still have six doses. Promise me you’ll remember to take them on time.” She reminded in all seriousness, her clear eyes filled with worry and care for the man. Jeremy held Madeline’s hand. “Don’t worry about me, silly. I’m okay.” “How am I supposed to not worry about you?” Madeline met the man’s passionate gaze with a concerned one of her own. With difficulty, she raised her hand to caress his

Despite knowing that it could be a trap Ryan was setting to lure him in, Jeremy stepped on the gas and followed without hesitation. Ryan drove quickly as if he was trying to lose Jeremy, but Jeremy’s driving skills and sharp eyes did not give Ryan the chance. In less than 20 minutes, Ryan’s car came to a stop at a warehouse. Jeremy followed him inside without a thought. The moment he entered, he was met with a bullet fired right at him. Jeremy swiftly stepped out of its path and felt the bullet miss his ear by a few inches before it pierced through the wooden plank behind him. He looked up and saw Ryan standing not too far in front of him. Ryan had his gun pointed at him, his elegant and gentlemanly features oozed with a brutal aura that was further amplified by his suit.“I knew that you wouldn’t just bring me to see Linnie that easily, Ryan. So talk, what do you want?” Jeremy asked, not having the patience to beat around the bush with Ryan. Ryan smiled and lowered hi

Jeremy took the slip of paper and saw a line of words on it. The handwriting was messy to the point that deciphering it felt like an impossible feat. It took Jeremy a while before he could vaguely read the handwriting. ‘Do not act rashly.’ The doctor spared a glance at the note in Jeremy’s hand. “The person who sent you to the hospital is most likely a doctor as well. Only a doctor would be able to perform such professional first aid. The handwriting too, only us doctors write like that.” “Doctor?” Jeremy fell silent. He remembered seeing a familiar figure running toward him in a daze. The man had called out his name too. However, Jeremy did not remember knowing a doctor here in Y Country. … A few days later, Madeline had recovered greatly. She washed up and got out of bed. Eloise went to hand her a warm bowl of herbal soup. “I made this myself. It’s for you.” Madeline was stunned when she saw Eloise meeting her gaze with a gentle look. There was a kind smile on the

The driver turned to look at the rear-view mirror and panicked when he saw Madeline clutching her stomach with her brows furrowed painfully. “Where does it hurt, Eveline? Tell Dad,” Sean grabbed Madeline’s shoulder and asked nervously. Madeline bit her lip at the pain. “I don’t know. My stomach just hurts.” “Is there a hospital nearby? Quick, go to the hospital!” Sean’s eyes were filled with worry as he ordered the driver. “Kindred Hospital is nearby. I’ll bring you there!” The driver quickly turned the car around without a moment’s hesitation. Madeline leaned against Sean’s shoulder as mirth flashed through her seemingly tired eyes. The car drove into the hospital, and upon arriving, Sean carried Madeline out of the car. Then, he called out to Eloise. “There are a lot of people in the hospital, Ellie. Follow behind me, okay? Don’t walk too far.” Sean requested, afraid that Eloise would get lost with her current mental state. “I won’t run off. I’m right behind you.” Elo
