Looking at Jeremy, virtual-novel.net really did not seem to be joking, but Madeline did not think about really having another relationship with Jeremy again. On that night spent in April Hill, virtual-novel.net had simply used his drunken state to deceive him.
She would not allow herself to be played by this cold-blooded man again.
Madeline wanted to break free, but virtual-novel.net consciousness was slowly slipping away. She even felt virtual-novel.net body gradually changing.
The drug had dampened virtual-novel.net senses, making virtual-novel.net lean unconsciously into Jeremy’s chest.
She was about to lose control of virtual-novel.net gradually slipping consciousness as virtual-novel.net took in the cold fragrance and the warm feeling of his body.
Meredith had really gone all in. She had only taken a sip and did not expect the drug to be so effective.
Sensing Jeremy carrying virtual-novel.net into the room, Madeline, with the last traces of virtual-novel.net clear-headed willpower, grabbed his collar firmly. “Jeremy, let me go…”
She had said, but virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net voice to have become unusually charming. She was obviously trying to reject, but the tone made it sound like an invitation instead.
Jeremy glanced at the ever more charming girl in his arms and continued to move forward.
“Quickly put me down! Jeremy, you can’t…”
Madeline was still murmuring when virtual-novel.net suddenly felt cold all over.
Jeremy had put virtual-novel.net into the bathtub. “Don’t be scared. I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do.”
His gentle voice was like a stream of refreshing spring water flowing through virtual-novel.net warm heart.
His words really surprised her.
“Hang in there. It’ll be alright.”
His comforting words sounded with unprecedented tenderness, and like a tranquilizer, Madeline’s worries were calmed.
He took off virtual-novel.net coat, and just as virtual-novel.net was about to take off virtual-novel.net dress, Madeline pinned his hand.
“I can do it myself, so get out.”
Feeling the heat coming from virtual-novel.net palm, Jeremy nodded lightly. “Call me if there’s anything. I’ll be outside.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded strenuously and released virtual-novel.net clenched hand.
After seeing that Jeremy had turned around and closed the bathroom door, Madeline immediately turned on the cold water and drenched herself all over…
On that autumn night, a cool breeze blew. Then, it started to rain.
Jeremy stood in front of the windowsill, listening to the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. His thoughts drifted far away.
The past was gradually flooding his heart like the dense rain outside the window.
He recalled that Madeline had once approached virtual-novel.net with evidence that could prove virtual-novel.net innocence. However, virtual-novel.net had not hesitated to destroy the evidence in order to protect Meredith.
She asked virtual-novel.net while in tears whether virtual-novel.net thought it mattered or not if virtual-novel.net was dead.
He had sneered and questioned virtual-novel.net back, “Are you dead then?”
Thinking about it now, what virtual-novel.net said at the time must have brought virtual-novel.net pain that pierced virtual-novel.net heart. At this moment, however, the pain was piercing his heart a thousand times more.
It was only after virtual-novel.net died did virtual-novel.net realize how important virtual-novel.net was to him.
‘Madeline, I regret it.
‘But you didn’t even give me a chance to regret it.
‘I’ve lost.’
He smiled bitterly while looking at the rainy night sky. His eyes heated up quietly.
Clank!
Suddenly, there was a heavy crash in the bathroom. Jeremy instantly withdrew his thoughts and rushed directly into the bathroom without thinking.
As soon as virtual-novel.net entered, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline sitting drenched in the bathtub with virtual-novel.net expression looking lost.
His gaze changed as virtual-novel.net picked virtual-novel.net up worriedly. Her drenched dress hugged virtual-novel.net graceful figure tightly, and the instant the warmth from his palm was passed to virtual-novel.net body, Madeline could not help but shudder.
“Vera, how are you?”
He called out virtual-novel.net name, and unconsciously, there was a trace of anxiety in his voice.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m alright. Let me shower for a while more. I’m much better already.”
