Jeremy unknowingly uttered that one word.
He felt something tug on his heartstrings, making virtual-novel.net shudder.
Linnie.
Why did virtual-novel.net just say ‘Linnie’ out loud?
Madeline got up after the child was asleep. When virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net saw someone standing at the door.
She walked over curiously and spotted Jeremy.
Madeline closed the door vigilantly. “Don’t come near my son.” There was a hint of contempt in virtual-novel.net eyes. “I’ll give you the aromatherapy kit tomorrow. I have to be with my son today.”
Madeline expected Jeremy to reject virtual-novel.net request, but to virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net agreed.
After a while, Eloise and Sean arrived. When they found out about Jeremy’s condition, they felt troubled as well.
“I wonder when he’ll get better? I’m worried as he’s still with that Lana woman,” Eloise was concerned and said in a small voice, “Your father contacted his friend in F Country and got some information about Lana Johnson. She’s involved in an organized crime syndicate.
“Plus, virtual-novel.net brother, Yorick Johnson, is extremely powerful in F Country. He dabbles in both the good and bad sides. It can be said that this woman had been tyrannizing everyone since virtual-novel.net was young and would get everything virtual-novel.net laid virtual-novel.net eyes on.” Sean was worried as well. “Eveline, now that this woman is interested in Jeremy, virtual-novel.net won’t give virtual-novel.net up so easily.”
Madeline already knew about all of these.
However, in order to stop Eloise and Sean from worrying, virtual-novel.net pretended virtual-novel.net had no idea about any of it.
Sean was feeling sorry for his daughter, so virtual-novel.net had already taken action. “Eveline, just endure this for the time being. I’ve already asked my people to look into the Stygian Johnson Gang. As long as we get some concrete evidence, I’ll report them to the police. When that happens, we’ll incarcerate Lana so that Jeremy can come back to you.”
Madeline stopped virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net heard this. “Dad, stop the investigation.”
“Why?” Eloise was puzzled. “Eveline, your father just hopes that you and Jeremy can get back together soon.”
“I understand.” Sean was smart. “Eveline, don’t worry. I’ll be careful with the investigation. I won’t let them notice anything.”
However, Madeline was still worried. “No, you can’t investigate them. You’ll be in danger. You can’t underestimate their power in F Country. The people you hire to investigate might be one of them. Anyone who can be bought with some goodies isn’t reliable at all.”
Eloise felt that this made sense after virtual-novel.net heard it. “Sean, you should listen to our daughter. Stop the investigation.”
“Alright, I’ll put a stop to it,” Sean answered.
Madeline let out a sigh of relief. The next day, virtual-novel.net went back to the office to pack the finished aromatherapy kit and personally delivered it to the villa.
However, when virtual-novel.net entered the building, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy on a call with Lana. Then, virtual-novel.net spotted a cigarette between Jeremy’s fingers.
He was smoking again.
She glanced at the cigarette box on the desk and walked over. She wanted to take one of them so that virtual-novel.net could run some tests on it. However, when virtual-novel.net picked up the box, Jeremy turned around after virtual-novel.net ended his call.
Jeremy smirked demonically when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline with the cigarette box. “You want a taste as well?”
Madeline tossed the box back to where virtual-novel.net found it and put down the aromatherapy kit. “I did what you asked me to. Remember what you said to me and don’t cause any trouble for my family.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline with a small smile. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net wrapped his arms around virtual-novel.net waist and pressed his lips against hers.
Madeline smelled a special scent invading virtual-novel.net nostrils and felt virtual-novel.net consciousness drifting for a few seconds.
“Do you like this smell?” Jeremy’s charming voice glided into virtual-novel.net ears.
Madeline looked at the faint smile on the handsome face in front of her. Then, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net hands without being able to control herself and placed them on Jeremy’s cheek.
“Jeremy.”
Jeremy was sober as virtual-novel.net watched Madeline looking at virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net was in a trance.
For some reason, his heart started pounding when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net calling virtual-novel.net like that.
Madeline circled virtual-novel.net arms around his neck and placed virtual-novel.net face against his shoulder. “I’m so happy to see you come back safe and sound, but why did you forget me…”
Jeremy felt something sinking in his heart when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net confused voice. He felt his heart melt in that instant.
“I’m not Jeremy,” virtual-novel.net answered coldly out of the blue.
Then, Madeline’s arms around virtual-novel.net loosened abruptly.
