Madeline opened virtual-novel.net blurry eyes in confusion to see Jeremy examining virtual-novel.net with his eyes.
“What’s wrong, Jeremy?”
“I’m tired,” virtual-novel.net said flatly before going into the bathroom.
Then, Madeline heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
She lay on the bed in puzzlement.
Why did it feel like virtual-novel.net was refusing to touch her?
Was it because of Ryan?
After Jeremy came out of the shower, virtual-novel.net did not say anything to Madeline before getting into bed to play with his phone.
“Jeremy, you should sleep early if you’re tired.” Madeline picked up virtual-novel.net pajamas and was about to go take a shower.
However, after virtual-novel.net said that to him, Jeremy did not react and only grunted in response.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart sinking at this response.
She felt as if a cold wind had penetrated virtual-novel.net heart. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart getting so cold.
Madeline showered with virtual-novel.net mind full of questions and concern.
She was worried that the poison in Jeremy’s body was not completely expelled, so that was why virtual-novel.net was acting weird and refusing to be intimate with her.
After showering, Madeline put on virtual-novel.net bathrobe and went back to the room, only to see Jeremy lying on the bed.
However, virtual-novel.net had his back toward virtual-novel.net and was sleeping on his side.
Madeline quietly got into the bed and looked dispiritedly at the man’s back.
They had not seen each other in half a year.
After virtual-novel.net was informed of his death, virtual-novel.net never imagined reuniting with virtual-novel.net again.
However, now that such a day had come, virtual-novel.net did not think virtual-novel.net would be treating virtual-novel.net so coldly.
Madeline was sad as virtual-novel.net imagined what virtual-novel.net had gone through in these six months. Then, virtual-novel.net got close to virtual-novel.net and held his shoulders while feeling sorry.
She knew virtual-novel.net was not asleep, so virtual-novel.net said softly, “Jeremy, has your body completely recovered?”
“Yeah,” replied Jeremy. He did not turn around to face her.
“How?” Madeline asked.
She wanted to know where Jeremy went, what virtual-novel.net went through, and whether virtual-novel.net was in pain throughout those months of his disappearance.
She was concerned about him, so virtual-novel.net wanted to know everything about him.
“The things that happened weren’t great, so I don’t want to talk about it,” Jeremy said briefly. It was clear virtual-novel.net did not want to talk about what happened to virtual-novel.net in those months.
Madeline could sense Jeremy’s avoidance, so virtual-novel.net stopped asking. She pressed virtual-novel.net face against Jeremy’s neck and took in the smell of grass on his body before closing virtual-novel.net eyes in bliss.
“Jeremy, did you come to visit me in Rye’s house when I had a fever half a year ago? I could smell you, but why didn’t you want to see me?”
Rye.
When Jeremy heard that name, his eyes darkened.
He turned around and looked at the smiling woman who was snuggling up to him. Then, virtual-novel.net lifted his hand to hold virtual-novel.net shoulder as his eyes looked into hers passionately.
“I was scared that you’d hate and dislike me if you saw me like this.”
“No way!” Madeline frowned and looked at the man’s handsome face. Her eyes were shining with virtual-novel.net love toward him. “Jeremy, I don’t love you because of your looks.”
Jeremy smiled, pulling Madeline into his strong and warm embrace. “It’s worth suffering all that pain now that you’ve said that to me.”
“Jeremy…”
Madeline enveloped herself in Jeremy’s embrace as virtual-novel.net took in his scent. Then, virtual-novel.net started drifting to sleep unbeknownst to her.
It was already noon when virtual-novel.net woke up the next day.
Madeline had not gotten such a good night’s sleep in the past six months.
However, when virtual-novel.net saw the empty half of the bed, virtual-novel.net started worrying.
She was scared that last night was just a beautiful dream.
Madeline got out of the bed to look for Jeremy. When virtual-novel.net was putting on virtual-novel.net clothes, virtual-novel.net heard screams from the balcony.
