Jeremy felt his body grow cold at Madeline’s words.
He watched through the swaying camera as Madeline harshly pressed the sharp end of the clip against virtual-novel.net wrist.
The clip was hardly a lethal weapon, but Madeline was using all virtual-novel.net strength.
A red line quickly marred virtual-novel.net left wrist as bright red began to trickle out of the wound frightfully.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy yelled heart-wrenchingly as the pain of having his skin peeled alive spread to every inch of his body.
He knew that Madeline must have been tortured to the point of hopelessness or virtual-novel.net would never do such a thing.
Ryan was taken aback by Madeline’s actions. He stared dazedly at Madeline as the woman faltered. His heart ached, but at the same time, anger bled into his eyes.
“Why? Am I so incomparable to Jeremy?”
Like a ragdoll, Madeline looked pitiful with virtual-novel.net messy hair and clothes. However, virtual-novel.net eyes were still clear and untainted.
“You’ll never compare to him.” A light smile graced Madeline’s lips as virtual-novel.net spoke weakly, “He’s the only man I’ll ever love and want to protect.”
Jeremy could not stop the tears from falling from his eyes.
The camera was moving too much for virtual-novel.net to see Madeline’s face, but virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net every word.
He was about to speak when virtual-novel.net heard Madeline’s soft voice again.
“I know that you must be upset, Jeremy, but you have to remember that I belong to you and only you—heart, soul, and all. Do everything you can to catch Ryan, this madman, and bring my body home. Even in death, my soul is yours.”
Jeremy’s eyes reddened as virtual-novel.net choked.
Through his blurry tears, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s bloodied palm falling and landing on a large pool of blood. His mind blanked at the sight.
“Linnie. Linnie…”
“Ryan! Send Linnie to the hospital now! What are you going to use to threaten me if virtual-novel.net dies, huh?
“Do you hear me, Ryan?!”
Jeremy’s roar rang out from the screen.
He was going mad.
He really was!
There was nothing virtual-novel.net could do even as virtual-novel.net watched Madeline being forced to the edge.
“Linnie!”
He yelled, but there was no reply from her. Ryan seemed to have gone blank at Madeline’s actions and the camera stayed at the same stagnant angle.
Just then, someone pushed the room door open.
Jeremy heard rushed footsteps, followed by Adam’s figure appearing in the camera.
“How the hell did this happen?” Adam’s tone was solemn.
He seemed to have come prepared. Jeremy watched Adam walking over with his medical kit before virtual-novel.net squatted down to quickly administer first aid on Madeline.
There was no doubt that Adam was a professional in this field. Jeremy felt the fear in his chest placate to some degree.
While in a frantic state of mind, virtual-novel.net watched Adam sanitize virtual-novel.net wound and stop the bleeding before virtual-novel.net dressed it.
He reached out to the kit to take something when Ryan finally broke out of his stupor and spoke.
“Bring the syringe and needle as well.” Ryan threw the reagent bottle that virtual-novel.net had planned to inject into Madeline himself to Adam.
“What’s that, Ryan? What are you injecting into Linnie?” Jeremy questioned furiously at the scene, terrified that Ryan was injecting the slow-acting poison into her.
Ryan merely replied with a sinister sneer.
