Madeline was trembling in the wind and virtual-novel.net blood seemed to be frozen.
She returned to virtual-novel.net residence hurriedly, packed some clothes and daily necessities, and moved away overnight.
She no longer had the courage to face this man who was more terrifying than the devil. She was not afraid of death, but virtual-novel.net was really afraid of the cruel methods virtual-novel.net has shown time and time again. She never wanted to see virtual-novel.net treat the people virtual-novel.net loved cruelly in front of virtual-novel.net again.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Madeline touched the faint, tingling scar and closed virtual-novel.net eyes.
Jeremy, how could loving you brought such a result…
……
As the new year approaches, many companies would hold annual meetings at this time.
Although Felipe had insisted that Madeline be his plus one to attend the annual meeting, Madeline still refused in the end.
After the dinner party, Madeline went to a karaoke bar with some people from the department.
The room was large and everyone had gathered together to drink and play games but they had left Madeline at the side, not one paying any attention to her.
There was continuous laughter, it was such a lively and joyous moment, but Madeline could not feel the joyous atmosphere at all. All virtual-novel.net felt was sadness.
She went to the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Jeremy’s when virtual-novel.net was coming back. She did not expect virtual-novel.net to be here too.
Madeline was so frightened virtual-novel.net heart jumped. She turned around in a panic and ran.
Jeremy turned his head around after the phone call and vaguely saw a familiar figure flash past his eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows and followed.
Madeline ran back to the room in a single breath, but virtual-novel.net heartbeat still had not calmed down.
Her colleagues were still playing around happily. Some of them were already drunk, lying haphazardly on the sofa. No one noticed Madeline’s existence.
She breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the seat. As soon as virtual-novel.net sat down, virtual-novel.net heard the melody of a love song from the speaker.
It was a song virtual-novel.net was familiar with, “Evil in Innocence”.
Listening to the melody and watching the lyrics lighting up on the screen, Madeline’s eyes became wet inadvertently.
The lyrics were essentially a portrayal of virtual-novel.net journey along the way.
Jeremy had followed all the way and when virtual-novel.net reached the door of a certain room, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the inside.
Although virtual-novel.net had never seriously cared about Madeline’s voice, his hippocampus told virtual-novel.net that this was Madeline’s voice.
Jeremy looked in through the round window on the door and saw Madeline sitting on the bar chair. Her figure was extremely thin and virtual-novel.net short, simple hair could not cover up virtual-novel.net haggard face.
In spite of this, the outline of virtual-novel.net profile was still beautiful. Under the dim light, virtual-novel.net saw tears falling from virtual-novel.net eyes, and lyrics were suddenly sung out, “You would know, the cruelest things that have been done to me.”
“It was you, who had turned me into an adult overnight.
“Desperate innocence, instantly turning into scars along the way.
“I miss, my stupidity.
“Oh lover, you know too well how to hurt a person, how to hurt a life…”
Madeline’s voice floated into Jeremy’s ears, quietly and cleanly, but virtual-novel.net felt as if his heart had suddenly been stabbed.
What Madeline had said to virtual-novel.net then appeared in his mind. She had said that virtual-novel.net did not love virtual-novel.net anymore, and virtual-novel.net had said that virtual-novel.net hated him.
Jeremy just stood outside the door, listening to Madeline sing, watching virtual-novel.net unstopping tears. His heart seemed to be gradually flooded by an invisible sea and his breathing became difficult.
Madeline sang the song and virtual-novel.net mind was filled with all the unspeakable pain that virtual-novel.net had suffered over the past few years. She sang till the end. “Although heaven and earth are not benevolent, if not necessary, wake your defense, wait a minute……”
By the time virtual-novel.net finished the song, Madeline had already burst into tears.
She picked up virtual-novel.net bag and left. No one noticed virtual-novel.net presence nor virtual-novel.net departure.
Madeline called for a cab and returned to virtual-novel.net new residence. Just as virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net keys out to open the door, the voice-activated light in the corridor suddenly came on and a nightmarish sound rang in virtual-novel.net ears.
“Madeline, who allowed you to escape from my sight?”
