She smiled and looked back out the window. What virtual-novel.net saw drained virtual-novel.net complexion.
“Jeremy?”
Madeline snapped virtual-novel.net head around to look at the figure leaning against a tree by the road a distance away.
Moonlight was dim that night, but Jeremy’s silhouette had long been engraved into the deepest part of virtual-novel.net heart.
She was even more certain that the expression on his face was one of agony.
Madeline could not keep virtual-novel.net cool. “Stop the car!”
She ordered, but the driver did not react.
Both Eloise and Sean were confused to see Madeline so upset.
“What’s wrong, Eveline?” Sean looked out the window as well but could not see anything.
“Stop the car! I said, stop the car!” Madeline was losing control over virtual-novel.net emotions.
No matter how Ryan’s demand rang in virtual-novel.net mind, virtual-novel.net could not find it in herself to ignore Jeremy when virtual-novel.net was in pain.
“Madam, Mr. Jones said…”
“Don’t give me that crap. I said stop the car!” Madeline demanded again as virtual-novel.net watched the car drive farther away from Jeremy. She could not bear watching the man suffer the pain by himself!
“What’s wrong, Eveline?” Sean was even more confused and worried.
Madeline did not have the time to explain it to Sean now. Watching Jeremy’s figure about to vanish from virtual-novel.net line of vision, virtual-novel.net made a choice.
She opened the car door as the night breeze blew into the car.
Not expecting Madeline to do such a thing, the driver moved to lock the door but it was already too late.
“What are you trying to do, Eveline?” Sean was stunned. Eloise had no idea either, but virtual-novel.net felt worried and reached out to grab Madeline’s hand instinctively.
However, Madeline only jumped out of the car the next second.
Screech! The driver brought the car into an emergency brake.
He could not be responsible if something happened to Madeline.
Suddenly hearing a car screeching to a halt in the distance, Jeremy’s head snapped up from the tree virtual-novel.net leaned against. Under the blurry moonlight, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar figure jumping out of the car!
“Linnie!” Jeremy knew what virtual-novel.net saw.
Ignoring the pain to stand, the man willed his feet to move with difficulty and slowly made his way toward Madeline.
Madeline jumped out of the car and rolled a few rounds on the road before virtual-novel.net came to a stop. Scratches littered virtual-novel.net body, but now was not the time to worry about them.
Seeing the driver and the bodyguard alighting the car to grab her, virtual-novel.net quickly got up and ran toward Jeremy.
Sean and Eloise got out of the car as well to help Madeline up, only to see virtual-novel.net running into the distance while a shadow approached Madeline at the same time.
Under the moonlight, the two figures drew close and their features were reflected in the other’s eyes.
“Jeremy.”
“Linnie.”
Jeremy felt a burst of strength surge within virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net heard Madeline calling out his name again.
The sight of virtual-novel.net overwhelmed the searing pain within him.
“Linnie.”
He reached out for her.
Madeline reached out virtual-novel.net arm as well, but before virtual-novel.net soft fingertips could come in contact with Jeremy’s, a bullet shot toward virtual-novel.net from behind.
Jeremy did not have the chance to hold Madeline’s hand yet when virtual-novel.net saw fresh blood spray across the air.
“Linnie!”
