“Ryan Jones.”
“Stop wasting time, unless you want your beloved woman to die in your arms.”
Ryan extended both his arms confidently.
“Give virtual-novel.net to me.”
Jeremy clenched his fists and stared at the unconscious woman in his arms. He hardened his heart before handing Madeline to Ryan.
He knew that with his physical condition now, virtual-novel.net was not strong enough to bring Madeline to the hospital.
He could only pass virtual-novel.net to Ryan. That was his only option now.
Taking Madeline from Jeremy’s arms, Ryan left a word before virtual-novel.net turned around.
“You’ve seen it yourself that there are no limits to what I can do. If you approach virtual-novel.net or try to bring virtual-novel.net away again, I’ll end virtual-novel.net life.”
An evil and a proud smile graced his lips. “Don’t try to catch me either because that’s impossible. You might as well take the time to rid your body of the poison, or you won’t even have the strength to fight me.”
Ryan glanced at Jeremy who was in too much pain to even stand, then turned around with a smile and Madeline in his arms.
The driver drove the car toward virtual-novel.net and opened the door for them courteously.
Sean and Eloise sat back in the car they came with and followed to leave.
Ryan brought Madeline to a private hospital and had Adam personally perform the surgery.
The bullet shot through Madeline’s shoulder and made virtual-novel.net lose a lot of blood. Thankfully, the hospital had already prepared ample blood bags and Madeline would not be in any life-threatening danger.
Madeline was brought back to Ryan’s living quarters. Staring at Madeline who lay sickeningly pale on the bed, Ryan stood by the side with a solemn look in his eyes.
“I knew that you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from meeting him.
“Do not test my boundaries, Eveline Montgomery. I’m not as stupid as Jeremy to the point that I would rather die before I let you get hurt.
“I will never love you to that point,” virtual-novel.net warned by Madeline’s ears. The last sentence was a warning to himself as well.
Still, Ryan felt an inexplicable twinge of uneasiness within him.
He was undoubtedly confident with his gunmanship, yet his hand still shook when virtual-novel.net fired the shot earlier. It was almost as if virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would hit somewhere fatal.
Ryan gave Madeline one last glance before virtual-novel.net left the room.
Sean and Eloise were waiting downstairs the entire time. They had no idea how Madeline was doing.
While it had not occurred to Eloise that Madeline was virtual-novel.net daughter, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel lured in by the girl. “She’ll be fine, right, Sean? That girl who’s also called Eveline.”
Sean took Eloise’s hand and comforted virtual-novel.net gently. “Yeah. She’ll definitely be alright.”
He had just finished speaking when virtual-novel.net saw Ryan walking down the stairs.
Sean grabbed Eloise’s hand and strode over to ask for an update. “How is Eveline doing, Mr. Jones? Will virtual-novel.net be alright?”
Ryan furrowed his brows worriedly. “I never thought that Jeremy was this crazy. He almost took Madeline’s life.”
Sean was shocked. “What? Jeremy Whitman?”
“He doesn’t want Eveline and me to be together. That’s why virtual-novel.net chased us all the way here. He said that as long as virtual-novel.net can’t have her, virtual-novel.net won’t let us be together either.”
Sean frowned and sighed. “How did Jeremy become like this? How is Eveline now? Is virtual-novel.net life in danger?”
“She lost a lot of blood and is still unconscious.” Ryan blew the story up. “Don’t worry too much, I’ll take care of Madeline. I’ve already got the maids to prepare a guest room for you two. Get some rest.”
Sean did not ask anymore and brought Eloise to the guest room.
Seeing that Sean did not doubt him, Ryan relaxed and went to take a bath.
In the bedroom, Madeline felt virtual-novel.net shoulder ache as virtual-novel.net woke drowsily from virtual-novel.net sleep. Everywhere else felt fine.
She felt virtual-novel.net heart clench at the memory of what happened before virtual-novel.net got shot.
Madeline slowly sat up. She was about to get out of bed when a shadow approached from the balcony.
Her eyes widened as virtual-novel.net stared at the handsome figure in disbelief. “Jeremy?”
