Madeline was not surprised to find that Ryan had an ulterior motive and faced it calmly. “What are my options?”
Ryan smiled and replied.
Madeline’s grip on virtual-novel.net phone tightened when virtual-novel.net heard the two options Ryan gave.
He was not giving virtual-novel.net an option at all.
Hanging up the phone, Madeline slowly lowered virtual-novel.net hand and stared in the direction where Jeremy was currently rushing toward her. The light in virtual-novel.net eyes dimmed as virtual-novel.net looked down.
“Why did you suddenly run out? You haven’t finished your food yet.” Eloise suddenly ran up to Madeline and stared at virtual-novel.net seriously.
Eloise may not recognize Madeline, but it was evident that virtual-novel.net still cared for this daughter of hers.
Madeline felt something pinch virtual-novel.net heart. She took Eloise’s hand and smiled. “Let’s go eat.”
“Yeah.” Eloise beamed and held Madeline’s hand.
Madeline stared longingly into the distance before virtual-novel.net finally turned around…
Jeremy was driving as fast as possible as virtual-novel.net closed the distance between virtual-novel.net and the villa. The shine in his eyes brightened with every moment.
His racing heart told virtual-novel.net that his Linnie was in the villa in front.
They were moments away from arriving when Jeremy suddenly felt his heartbeat going erratic and his breathing becoming hitched.
The familiar tortuous feeling hit again.
He wanted to keep going, but the onslaught of pain that only seemed to grow forced virtual-novel.net to bring the car to a stop.
The remnants of poison within virtual-novel.net began a new round of torture.
“Are you alright, Jeremy?” The people with virtual-novel.net began to feel worried as Jeremy’s complexion was downright horrifying.
“Leave me here and drive there first.” Jeremy took a deep breath to suppress the pain and alighted the car. He could not delay saving Madeline.
“But how are we supposed to just leave you alone on the road when you look like this?”
“I’ll be fine. Go save my wife!” Jeremy demanded strictly, his deep eyes swirling with determination and stubborn will that left no room for objection.
Knowing that they could not persuade Jeremy otherwise, the people quickly drove the car over to the villa not too far away.
Jeremy’s shaking fingers reached out to clutch the area above his heart even though it could not relieve virtual-novel.net from the sharp stab of pain the poison brought.
He had only taken a dose from the reagents that Madeline ‘conned’ out of Ryan, and it was not too effective.
The following six doses were still in Ryan’s house and virtual-novel.net had not brought them over.
With difficulty, virtual-novel.net moved to sit under a large tree. Lifting his right hand, virtual-novel.net stared at the wedding ring on his fourth finger as if doing so would help ease the pain that seeped into his bones.
“Linnie, Linnie…” virtual-novel.net called out virtual-novel.net name softly to clear his mind.
Sitting in the car while leaving the villa, Madeline stared blankly out the window as virtual-novel.net mind echoed with the two options Ryan gave virtual-novel.net not too long ago.
“One, you follow my men out the villa with your parents in tow. Or two, you wait for Jeremy to find you, only to be met with the bodies of all three of you Montgomeries.”
“Hmph.” Madeline scoffed ironically.
Could this even be counted as a choice?
He was blatantly forcing virtual-novel.net to leave.
‘What a cruel man you are, Ryan Jones.’
Sitting by Madeline’s side, Eloise asked innocently as virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net saw a smile on the other’s face. “What are you smiling about? Tell us, perhaps we’ll get a kick out of it as well.”
Madeline’s heart ached while virtual-novel.net also felt hopeless at the words. Staring at virtual-novel.net carefree and elegant mother, Madeline broke into a soft smile. “Eveline is just so happy to see virtual-novel.net mom and dad again.”
Eloise’s delicate brows furrowed. “Why did you call yourself Eveline? Is that your name too? So is my daughter’s!”
Madeline did not know how to tell Eloise, for virtual-novel.net would not understand no matter how Madeline explained it.
