Ryan’s expression shifted, and a ripple of emotions flashed through Madeline’s eyes at the mention of Jeremy’s name.
“How could Jeremy have found his way here?” Ryan questioned and instructed the two maids, “Watch over Madam and stay inside.”
They nodded as Ryan rushed to leave. She walked toward the bed to watch over Madeline.
Adam spared Madeline’s sluggish expression an intrigued glance before virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
Ryan returned to the study and clicked on a software on the computer which showed virtual-novel.net multiple cars driving toward the villa.
He enlarged the footage and was met with a clear visual of Jeremy’s appearance.
Jeremy’s features were too defined to be of a doppelganger.
“How would virtual-novel.net know where we are?” Adam seemed confused and frustrated. “What do we do now?”
“The fact that virtual-novel.net has found us means that virtual-novel.net has come fully prepared. Bring Eveline and virtual-novel.net parents away. I’ll deal with this.” Ryan decided, showing absolutely no fear of facing Jeremy head-on.
“Will you be alright here?” Adam asked worriedly.
Ryan curled his thin lips into a confident smile. “Why wouldn’t I? It’s not like they can catch me.”
Adam did not comment further and quickly made his way back to the bedroom Madeline was staying in as Ryan instructed.
The maids greeted courteously when they saw Adam approaching them. “Doctor Brown.”
“Leave us alone.” Adam shooed the two maids away.
He strode toward Madeline and grabbed a jacket on the way to put it over virtual-novel.net shoulders. Her expression remained blank and lost.
“Come with me, Eveline Montgomery.”
Madeline’s gaze lingered on Adam for a few seconds before virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m waiting for someone here.”
Adam frowned. “Who are you waiting for?”
“Jeremy Whitman.” She averted virtual-novel.net gaze to look at the cloudy sky outside. “He’s coming over, so I’m waiting for him.”
She leaned against the bed in exhaustion and closed virtual-novel.net eyes.
Adam was about to say something when virtual-novel.net caught Ryan making his way over from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Madeline lying on the bed with virtual-novel.net eyes closed, Ryan went over to princess-carry virtual-novel.net in his arms.
Madeline’s eyes snapped open, revealing traces of fear and shock within them. “Where are you bringing me?”
She looked at Ryan and said in a weak tone. The drastic blood loss and the lack of food had zapped all the strength from virtual-novel.net body.
Not to mention after all the torment Ryan had been putting virtual-novel.net through these days, Madeline could no longer summon the aura virtual-novel.net once had.
Ryan forcibly carried Madeline to the car while Adam followed inside with his medical kit in hand.
“Bring virtual-novel.net away now,” Ryan ordered.
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net hand to paw the inside of the window with widened eyes. “I’m not going anywhere. I need to wait for Jeremy. He promised that he’ll bring me home,” virtual-novel.net emphasized. Jeremy’s name seemed to have become virtual-novel.net unwavering belief.
Ryan furrowed his brows when virtual-novel.net felt something off about Madeline’s behavior. “Look after her,” virtual-novel.net ordered Adam.
Adam nodded in acknowledgment and pried Madeline’s hand off the window forcefully.
“I’m not going anywhere. No.” Madeline raised and pinned virtual-novel.net misty round eyes on Ryan. “I’m going to wait here until Jeremy comes. He promised that he’ll come and get me.”
“…” Ryan stared at Madeline’s unusual attitude in confusion.
Be it virtual-novel.net tone or demeanor, Madeline was behaving exceptionally unusual today.
“Didn’t you tell me that you want to see your parents? These people will bring you to see them now.” Ryan reminded her.
