Madeline felt like virtual-novel.net was dreaming while caught in a drowsy haze. Someone kept calling out to virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net dream.
“Eveline, Eveline, wake up.”
The gentle yet worried voice of a man rang out in virtual-novel.net ears continuously.
Eveline frowned and gradually opened virtual-novel.net eyes. Ryan’s face slowly came into view amidst virtual-novel.net blurred vision.
“Eveline, are you awake?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Ryan?”
“It’s me,” Ryan said as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net in worry. “Are you alright?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Alright?
Clarity returned to virtual-novel.net thoughts at once. She recalled what happened before virtual-novel.net fainted just now. She then realized that virtual-novel.net was lying on the bed.
She sat up at once, the covers sliding down from virtual-novel.net shoulders. She realized in shock that virtual-novel.net clothes had been removed. She was only wearing a camisole.
This entire situation made virtual-novel.net feel oddly weirded out.
She pulled up the covers and wrapped them around herself immediately.
“How did this happen?” virtual-novel.net asked in confusion. She had no idea what just happened. Upon catching sight of the clothes on the floor, virtual-novel.net immediately bent down to pick them up.
Ryan turned over at once. “Wear your clothes first,” virtual-novel.net told her.
Madeline did not say anything. She put on virtual-novel.net clothes hurriedly after Ryan limped away.
She could not remember what happened in between at all.
She only remembered bringing daily necessities over for Ryan. After virtual-novel.net entered the room, virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net fast asleep and proceeded to leave. However, virtual-novel.net lost consciousness just as virtual-novel.net was about to leave.
She put on virtual-novel.net clothes and looked at the bed. A sense of heaviness weighed on virtual-novel.net mind.
A thought arose in virtual-novel.net mind, but virtual-novel.net did not dare to dwell on it.
Ryan was seated on the sofa in the living room. He tried to stand up when virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline was dressed, but virtual-novel.net could not do so due to his leg injury.
“Sit down,” Madeline said. She looked at virtual-novel.net and cut straight to the point, asking, “Ryan, what happened? Why was I on the bed?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Ryan looked at virtual-novel.net serious expression, his eyes glinting apologetically. “Eveline, I think something happened between us,” virtual-novel.net said.
“…”
Ryan’s words came upon virtual-novel.net like a bucket of cold water. The revelation shocked virtual-novel.net from head to toe.
“What… What did you say?” virtual-novel.net asked in disbelief.
Ryan frowned and continued speaking, “Before you came over, I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was you, but I didn’t see anyone after opening the door. I went back in and fell asleep drowsily. After I woke up, you were beside me and…”
He paused. The look in his eyes turned heavier. “And we weren’t dressed properly,” virtual-novel.net added.
“…”
A chilling sensation crept up Madeline’s spine.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to deny the entire situation, virtual-novel.net phone rang.
That customized ringtone belonged to Jeremy’s number.
She picked up Jeremy’s phone call at once without hesitation. His husky, low voice resonated from the phone. “Why didn’t you pick up my call just now?” virtual-novel.net asked in a gentle voice.
Just now?
Jeremy must have looked for virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net was unconscious just now.
She did not want to lie to Jeremy, but virtual-novel.net had no other choice right now.
“I was busy just now, so I didn’t notice your call. Jeremy, did anything come up?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Jeremy did not suspect virtual-novel.net at all. He replied in a gentle voice, “I’m starting to miss you. When are you coming back?”
A burst of sweetness erupted in Madeline’s heart. “I’m coming back soon,” virtual-novel.net told him. Upon the thought of virtual-novel.net waiting for virtual-novel.net to return home, a sense of guilt arose in virtual-novel.net heart. “Jeremy, I miss you a lot too,” virtual-novel.net said.
Madeline heard his low chuckle from the other end of the phone. Jeremy seemed to be in a rather good mood.
However, the current situation made virtual-novel.net feel terrible.
She hung up the call. Looking at Ryan, who was seated on the sofa with an annoyed look on his face, virtual-novel.net felt upset as well.
“I’m going back. Rest well,” virtual-novel.net told him.
Madeline then grabbed virtual-novel.net handbag and turned around to leave.
