Madeline did not wish for Jeremy to be upset again.
Ryan glanced at Adam when virtual-novel.net noticed Madeline unable to bring herself to comply with the requirement.
Adam got Ryan’s implicit message and strolled to the front of Madeline. “This half a month, there has been an improvement to Jeremy’s condition, right?”
Madeline’s icy stare was fixed on Adam’s face. “If the reagent is genuine, you’ll know best about its outcome.”
Adam could make out that Madeline held a grudge against him, but virtual-novel.net was not bothered at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net wore a smile on his face.
“The reagent is genuine, of course. Besides, as long as you inject it at the given time frame, the poison in his body will slowly clear up. However…”
Adam paused for a few seconds.
“However, I ought to tell you this. During the process of administering the anti-toxoid reagent, should there be any interruption or if the timing is messed up, it will end up having an adverse effect. Which means, if Jeremy does not inject the third dosage, the previous two doses of anti-toxoid reagent will urge the poison to build up.”
“What are you talking about…” Madeline was dumbfounded after listening to Adam.
It felt as if virtual-novel.net bones were bitten by millions of ants. It felt like virtual-novel.net heart was being torn apart.
She was being set up.
She initially thought virtual-novel.net was trying to save Jeremy. Who knew virtual-novel.net had fallen for their trap as well?
“Adam! You’re not even human!” She suddenly reached out and grabbed Adam’s collar. “Just because of your so-called experiments, you even use humans as your experimental subjects!”
Madeline was so mad that virtual-novel.net body was shaking, but Adam was not even the slightest bit bothered at all.
“Why are there such cruel people like you on earth?!”
“Everyone has their target in life. As long as they achieve those targets, no one will care about the process.” Ryan’s voice came traveling from behind Madeline.
She turned around. “So, everything you’ve done is for your so-called target? Ryan, what are you plotting?!”
“Will you believe me if I say that all I want is you?” Ryan counter-questioned.
Madeline’s eyes were brewing with mockery. “You don’t deserve me!”
Ryan frowned, but soon, virtual-novel.net let out a smile. “Regardless of whether I deserve you or not, this coming Thursday, you must fulfill my requirement. Or else, you’ll bear with the consequences.”
He gave the anti-toxoid reagent to Madeline.
Madeline took it and immediately spun around.
Ryan stared at Madeline’s back figure, who was leaving the scene, while feeling exasperated. He turned to look at Adam. “How’s virtual-novel.net condition?”
“Everything’s normal for now, but once virtual-novel.net condition deteriorates, it’s going to be a worse torment than what Jeremy is experiencing now.”
Ryan giggled in satisfaction. “Don’t let virtual-novel.net be so full of herself. If it’s not for virtual-novel.net being rather useful, virtual-novel.net would’ve been dead along with Yorick a long time ago.”
…
The sky became dark. Madeline sat in Ryan’s car and returned to the parking lot.
Before getting out of the car, Ryan reminded virtual-novel.net of the coming Thursday’s event.
Madeline did not answer. She slammed the car door and walked to virtual-novel.net car.
Just when virtual-novel.net was crossing the road, someone suddenly rushed to her. They snatched virtual-novel.net purse and crossed the red traffic light, making their way to the opposite road.
That purse contained the anti-toxoid reagent which virtual-novel.net had tried so hard to get virtual-novel.net hands on. She would not allow it to go missing!
Madeline could bother about the traffic light. She went and chased after the man who snatched virtual-novel.net purse.
“Give me back my purse!”
Madeline roared while running, virtual-novel.net speed gradually increasing.
She could not afford to lose the reagent!
‘That’s Jeremy’s lifeline!’
The robber did not expect Madeline to run so fast. After chasing for some time, virtual-novel.net got anxious. He spotted a river and quickly threw the purse into it!
