It was also at this moment Madeline felt something warm splashing her face.Then, the dazzling bright red liquid started gurgling from where Ryan's heart was.The horrifying sight of blood was reflected in Madeline's eyes.She opened her beautiful eyes in dumbfoundedness and could not believe what just happened.Ryan did not expect that someone would have secretly aimed the gun at him. The bullet passed through his heart, and in an instant, he knew that his life had come to an end.Yet, it seemed that there was still something he could not let go of. This obsession was still in sight.Ryan clasped Madeline's wrist tightly and subconsciously tightened his hold. Then, his eyes gradually lost their luster and focus.Before he collapsed, Ryan inaudibly uttered some words to Madeline.Madeline's eyes widened as she watched Ryan slowly collapsing in front of her eyes. The only thing in her mind right now was the bloody scene she just witnessed and what Ryan said before collapsing.“

The man's furious voice came from the hallway harshly.Jeremy raised his eyes to see the people who had barged in and instantly understood their intentions.He signaled the maids to go on with their business and then said in a light tone, “If you have time, you should go to the hospital and not come here to expose your low IQs.”“What? Jeremy, you killed Rye and you still dare to pretend that it has nothing to do with you?! Jeremy, let me tell you, I’ll never let Rye die like this without doing anything about it!” Mrs. Jones cursed with tears in her eyes, looking extremely distressed.Mr. Jones was also furious as he gritted his teeth. “Jeremy, even if our Rye really killed the woman named Lana Johnson, it should be the police convicting him! Who are you to shoot Rye just like that?“Do the Whitmans have a habit of persecuting the Joneses? Not only did you people kill my dad, but now you even killed my son!”Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows as indignation appeared in his eyes. He emp

Jeremy instantly felt Madeline awakening.However, when he lowered his head, he saw that Madeline's eyes were full of panic and confusion.She looked at the ceiling somewhat blanky, and after a few seconds, Madeline seemed to realize that there was someone next to her.When she saw Jeremy who was extremely close to her, she grabbed the blanket and leaped away immediately. “Get away from me!”Jeremy's heart sank. At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into the bottom of a cold lake.Sure enough, what he was worried about had happened.“Linnie, I’m Jeremy," Jeremy explained.However, Madeline seemed to be ignoring him. She shrank to the corner of the bed with a panicked expression. Her big, smart, and beautiful eyes were looking ahead in confusion. They were out of focus.“Linnie, what's wrong with you, Linnie? I'm Jeremy. Don't be afraid.” Jeremy slowly approached while coaxing patiently and tenderly. “Don't be afraid, Linnie. It's over. Ryan won't have any more opportuniti

Jeremy noticed something amiss, so he restrained himself and looked back only to see Madeline standing not far behind him with a look of doubt.It was unknown when she followed him here. Plus, there was a possibility that she had heard all the questions asked by these journalists. That would explain why Madeline's expression looked a little off.“Linnie.”Jeremy turned and walked toward her, but at this moment, the group of journalists behind him turned the cameras to Madeline and started asking questions.“Miss Eveline, was Ryan with you when he was shot last night?”“Mrs. Whitman, what is the relationship between you and Ryan?”“The reason why Mr. Whitman shot Ryan was that he was jealous of you being with Ryan, right?”Jeremy was furious when the journalists asked such stupid questions.He turned around swiftly and looked at them with his eyes as sharp as ice knives. “You’re willfully speculating and putting false crimes on people under the guise of pursuing the truth. Just

Jeremy got nervous as he approached the bathroom for some reason.He was sure that Madeline was in the bathroom, but judging from this strange sound, he did not know what Madeline was doing.Jeremy sped toward the bathroom and pushed the door open.He glanced inside but did not see Madeline. He only heard the sound of water coming from the area where the bathtub was placed.“Linnie?” Jeremy called out Madeline's name and quickly walked in without thinking.As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Jeremy felt something tugging at his heartstrings while he felt every cell in his body was in pain“Linnie!”Jeremy ran over to grab Madeline who was desperately pouring cold water all over herself.She was drenched all over and her short hair was completely wet. Her pale face was also covered with beads of water.“Linnie, what are you doing?” Jeremy snatched the showerhead away and picked her up aggressively.Madeline looked at the nervous and worried man with dull eyes but she
