Jeremy felt his heart stop.
Thanks to momentum, Madeline fell forward and into Jeremy’s arms.
She had no idea what burning entity pierced through virtual-novel.net body, but warmth and content settled over virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net fell into Jeremy’s embrace.
“Jeremy.”
She raised virtual-novel.net hand to hug the dazed man.
“You finally found me, Jeremy.” Madeline panted, virtual-novel.net breaths coming out short.
With a pale face, Jeremy pulled Madeline into his arms. He had no idea where the wound on virtual-novel.net body was, but virtual-novel.net felt the stickiness of fresh blood.
“Don’t sleep, Linnie. I’ll send you to the hospital!” Carrying Madeline up and running frantically forward, Jeremy seemed to have completely forgotten that virtual-novel.net too was a patient tormented by the poison inside him.
Leaning heavily against Jeremy’s chest, Madeline felt content.
“I knew you’d find me. I knew, so I was waiting for you all this while. I missed you so much, Jeremy…”
She talked about virtual-novel.net yearning weakly.
Jeremy’s vision slowly blurred under the breeze before virtual-novel.net realized it.
“I missed you too, Linnie. Every second of every day,” virtual-novel.net replied.
Madeline’s lips curled happily as virtual-novel.net leaned virtual-novel.net head against Jeremy’s chest and closed virtual-novel.net eyes exhaustedly.
“Mom and Dad are still alive, Jeremy. They didn’t die.”
Jeremy’s footsteps came to halt.
He remembered everything when virtual-novel.net knocked his head on the plane.
Eloise and Sean were still alive. After all, virtual-novel.net was the one who saved them!
However, Jeremy did not have the time to explain all that right now as all virtual-novel.net wanted was for Madeline to be safe.
Jeremy felt the strength drain from his limbs as virtual-novel.net ran. The poison was affecting him.
“Linnie.” He looked down at Madeline who was beginning to fall asleep. “Don’t sleep, Linnie. I promised Jack and Lily that I’ll bring their mom back home safely. Don’t sleep, Linnie.”
“I’m so tired, Jeremy…”
Madeline managed to peer open an eye, virtual-novel.net iris reflecting the anxiety-filled expression on Jeremy’s attractive features.
“Ryan is dangerous. You have to be careful.”
She reminded him, virtual-novel.net slender fingers gripping his sleeves.
“As long as I can be with you, Jeremy, I’m not afraid of anything at all. Really…”
Madeline’s head then drooped heavily on Jeremy’s shoulder as virtual-novel.net passed out.
“Linnie, Linnie!”
Madeline did not react no matter how Jeremy shouted.
With red eyes, virtual-novel.net summoned all his strength to hold virtual-novel.net closer as virtual-novel.net ran forward. However, his legs suddenly gave out.
Jeremy fell onto one knee. Under the inky midnight blue sky, virtual-novel.net felt darkness engulf his heart.
“I told you. If I can’t have it, neither will you.”
Ryan’s voice suddenly sounded from the front.
Jeremy’s eyes snapped up to see Ryan and his victorious expression. The man was holding a gun in his hand. One could easily conclude that virtual-novel.net was the one who fired the gun and shot Madeline.
“Ryan Jones!” Jeremy clenched his teeth as virtual-novel.net stared abhorrently at the smiling man. Frost began to fill his deep eyes.
Arrogant, Ryan looked down at Madeline who had fallen unconscious in Jeremy’s arms.
“She has the rare Rh-negative blood type. She’ll die of blood loss in no time if you let virtual-novel.net bleed away here.”
Bending down as virtual-novel.net spoke, the corners of his lips curled into a confident smile.
“Your only option is to give virtual-novel.net to me.”
