Watching Ryan’s face approach, Madeline’s mind was suddenly filled with images of Jeremy.
She still remembered how virtual-novel.net had promised virtual-novel.net during the day, “Don’t worry about me, Jeremy. I’ll take care of myself.”
Yet what was virtual-novel.net doing now?
Was virtual-novel.net going to let Ryan have his way, then let virtual-novel.net drive Jeremy mad?
No way.
She would not be a puppet that Ryan could play with however virtual-novel.net wished.
In the short span of a couple of seconds, Madeline’s mind flashed with numerous thoughts.
Seeing that Ryan’s lips were about to touch hers, virtual-novel.net took a step backward.
Ryan’s eyes snapped open as his gaze darkened. He was just about to fly into a rage when somebody knocked on the door of the study.
Knock, knock.
“It’s me.” Adam’s voice sounded from outside.
Ryan let go and gave Madeline a strange look before virtual-novel.net turned to open the door.
Madeline quickly picked virtual-novel.net clothes from the floor and put it on, virtual-novel.net heart still suffering from the aftershocks of what just happened.
Ryan’s actions had exceeded virtual-novel.net imagination.
It seemed that as long as it benefited him, there was nothing virtual-novel.net would not do.
He also seemed to become a completely different person when virtual-novel.net got angry and held terrifying grudges.
Ryan opened the door and Adam was shocked to see Madeline standing next to the study table.
“So here virtual-novel.net is. I was about to give virtual-novel.net an injection but couldn’t find her,” Adam explained. “Should I come in and give it to virtual-novel.net now?”
Ryan gave a slight nod and allowed Adam into the study.
Madeline felt heavily against it when virtual-novel.net watched Adam walking over, especially when virtual-novel.net eyes fell on the syringe in his hand. She tucked virtual-novel.net hands behind her.
Adam walked toward virtual-novel.net and reached out his hand confidently. “Let’s not waste each other’s time. You have no choice.”
“You’re crazy, Adam.” Madeline mocked as virtual-novel.net stuck virtual-novel.net arm out without another choice. She then watched with surprise as an intrigued smile graced the man’s features.
“You’re right. I am crazy, but I don’t think you understand how much.”
He smiled meaningfully and injected the contents of the reagent bottle into Madeline’s arm. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to fall asleep, virtual-novel.net whispered a warning, “Remember, don’t act rashly anymore.”
Those were the last words Madeline heard before virtual-novel.net fell asleep.
Ryan walked over to virtual-novel.net side and carried virtual-novel.net bridal-style just as virtual-novel.net lost virtual-novel.net footing.
“This is already the sixth injection. Why is virtual-novel.net still so deeply in love with Jeremy?” Ryan seemed rather confused.
Adam responded calmly, “I already told you. The injection works differently depending on the person. Perhaps Jeremy matters more to Eveline than we think, or maybe virtual-novel.net will is just stronger than others.”
Ryan furrowed his brows and stared at Madeline who was deep in sleep. “I guess I’ll just have to do something to weaken virtual-novel.net will and completely smooth that sharp edge of hers off. Or I might never get to complete the last step of my plan.”
Adam was deep in thought for two seconds with his gaze on Madeline’s face. “Understood. I’ll come up with something, then.”
Ryan did not speak much and carried Madeline to the bedroom.
Madeline slept through the night drowsily and woke early the next morning.
Upon waking up, virtual-novel.net first confirmed that there was nothing wrong with virtual-novel.net clothes and that Ryan had not done anything to her. Then, virtual-novel.net sighed a breath of relief and got up to wash and change.
After freshening herself up, a maid then brought virtual-novel.net breakfast on time.
Madeline was not in the mood to eat breakfast at all for virtual-novel.net mind was filled with thoughts of Eloise.
Just then, Ryan entered virtual-novel.net line of vision and appeared by virtual-novel.net door like a nightmare that refused to leave virtual-novel.net alone.
Staring at the breakfast that virtual-novel.net had not touched, Ryan walked over with a hand in his pocket. “What’s wrong? Do you not have an appetite for breakfast?”
“Where’s my mom?” Worry filled Madeline’s eyes.
It had been an entire night and virtual-novel.net still did not know how Eloise was doing.
Ryan walked over to the table and looked at the breakfast. “Finish your food and I’ll bring you to see Mom.”
Taken aback, Madeline turned and walked back to the table. She sat down and immediately began to scoff food down.
She must have eaten too fast for Madeline almost choked on the milk. Coughing, virtual-novel.net continued to scarf virtual-novel.net breakfast down.
Ryan’s mood was light as virtual-novel.net watched Madeline listen to his demands.
In no time, Madeline had forced herself to clean the plate. “Where’s my mom? Where did virtual-novel.net spend the night yesterday?”
