Ryan interrogated Lana for half an hour, but virtual-novel.net denied all of the charges and requested a lawyer.
Technically speaking, virtual-novel.net would have a chance to get a lawyer to defend virtual-novel.net for every crime.
However, Ryan would not let Lana get the chance.
The moment virtual-novel.net walked out of the custodial ward, his colleague received Jeremy’s phone call.
After speaking for a while, the man told Ryan, “He wants to know who are the people inside the Stygian Johnson Gang.”
Ryan nodded, to which the man nodded back to show that virtual-novel.net understood.
Jeremy was sitting alone in the cafe as virtual-novel.net basked in the light of the sunset. He looked at the people walking past the window before looking away slowly.
There was a flight ticket to somewhere far away next to the steaming coffee virtual-novel.net had in front of him.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard a ding and saw someone walking upstairs after pushing the door of the cafe.
Not long ago, Jeremy had just finished talking to his colleagues from Interpol. His colleague told virtual-novel.net that the commissioner who managed to get into the Stygian Johnson Gang would come to see virtual-novel.net in the cafe now.
Jeremy looked at the stairs and saw the man who was now married to the love of his life—Ryan Jones.
Jealousy arose in his eyes, but virtual-novel.net suppressed it quickly.
Jeremy stood up as virtual-novel.net looked at Ryan who was approaching him. He was surprised, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net remained calm. “I didn’t expect it to be you.”
Ryan smiled politely. “I thought you’d punch me in the face and teach me a lesson for stealing your favorite woman.”
Jeremy lowered his head. “She’s not my woman anymore. She’s your wife.”
Ryan did not fight back. Then, virtual-novel.net sat down in front of Jeremy. “Why are you still here? You’ll be in trouble if you don’t get treatment soon.”
“There’s no way out. If I drag this on, it’ll only buy me some days to struggle on while I continue standing at death’s door, so I don’t need it.”
Jeremy had seen everything. He knew if Adam could not find a cure for the poison virtual-novel.net created, then no one else could.
“I’ve asked someone to look for Adam Brown.” Ryan gave Jeremy some hope. Then, virtual-novel.net lowered his head to see the ticket in front of Jeremy. “Are you going to leave Glendale?”
“I’ve arranged for what’ll happen after I die,” Jeremy said nonchalantly as if virtual-novel.net was talking about something unrelated to him. “I wanted to ask you out to talk, but you’re already here.”
“Do you want to tell me something?” Ryan asked in a friendly and warm tone as usual.
Jeremy looked out of the window and lowered his bright eyes. “I don’t have any requests. I just hope that you’ll love virtual-novel.net and take care of her. I hope you can give virtual-novel.net the life I can’t give her.”
He turned his face away, not wanting anyone else aside from Madeline to see this side of virtual-novel.net that was crying so weakly.
“I don’t expect you to treat the three children like you’re their father, but the least you can do is not let them feel any grievances, especially my daughter Lillian,” Jeremy said and looked at Ryan solemnly.
“Ryan, I hope you can agree to fulfill my last wish as their father.”
Ryan’s expression became grim after virtual-novel.net heard what Jeremy said.
“Before I came, I already expected you to make a decision like this. So, before that, I’ve prepared a present for you.”
Ryan handed a car key to Jeremy.
“Go down and have a look. This is the last thing I’m able to do for you.”
