Jeremy instantly felt Madeline awakening.
However, when virtual-novel.net lowered his head, virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline’s eyes were full of panic and confusion.
She looked at the ceiling somewhat blanky, and after a few seconds, Madeline seemed to realize that there was someone next to her.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy who was extremely close to her, virtual-novel.net grabbed the blanket and leaped away immediately. “Get away from me!”
Jeremy’s heart sank. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net had fallen into the bottom of a cold lake.
Sure enough, what virtual-novel.net was worried about had happened.
“Linnie, I’m Jeremy,” Jeremy explained.
However, Madeline seemed to be ignoring him. She shrank to the corner of the bed with a panicked expression. Her big, smart, and beautiful eyes were looking ahead in confusion. They were out of focus.
“Linnie, what’s wrong with you, Linnie? I’m Jeremy. Don’t be afraid.” Jeremy slowly approached while coaxing patiently and tenderly. “Don’t be afraid, Linnie. It’s over. Ryan won’t have any more opportunities to control and hurt you.”
“Ryan?”
Madeline seemed to be reacting to this name. She looked forward blankly and muttered to herself like a child.
“Ryan said virtual-novel.net would take me to find Jeremy. He also said that as long as I’m obedient, he’ll let my parents go and personally send me back to Jeremy. However, Jeremy came to me and I wanted to go with Jeremy, but virtual-novel.net wouldn’t let me go. And then…”
As Madeline was talking, virtual-novel.net face turned paler. In virtual-novel.net head, there was a scene of Ryan getting shot and falling to the ground in front of her.
The blood that came out from Ryan’s wound seemed to be burning hot on virtual-novel.net cheeks.
She really did not want to think about it anymore, but virtual-novel.net just could not get rid of that scene in virtual-novel.net mind.
“Ah!”
Madeline suddenly raised virtual-novel.net hand and held virtual-novel.net head in pain.
“Linnie!” Jeremy hurried forward and held Madeline who was in pain. “Don’t be afraid, Linnie. Don’t be afraid.”
“He’s dead! Ryan is dead! Dead!” Madeline repeated incoherently in Jeremy’s arms. Her eyes turned red unknowingly while tears filled virtual-novel.net eyes.
She did not forget those words Ryan said to virtual-novel.net in the last second before virtual-novel.net lost consciousness.
“I’m sorry.”
Ryan had only whispered weakly, but those three words lingered clearly in Madeline’s mind.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net saw the sincerity and regret on Ryan’s face.
Ryan’s most unforgettable regret was driving virtual-novel.net to the brink of insanity.
He knew that virtual-novel.net was not qualified to be forgiven by Madeline, but at least, virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net to know that virtual-novel.net did not actually want to push virtual-novel.net to such a point.
He just hoped that virtual-novel.net could stay by his side with a little more docility.
However, it turned out that virtual-novel.net would still love the man named Jeremy even if it meant going completely crazy.
He really could not force one’s feelings.
It was a pity that virtual-novel.net only understood this at the end.
Jeremy hugged Madeline who was out of control as virtual-novel.net patiently and gently comforted her.
Madeline’s mood eased a little, but virtual-novel.net was still restless and tense. Her entire body was even trembling slightly.
However, virtual-novel.net finally stopped resisting virtual-novel.net and Jeremy felt a little joyous.
Time slipped away silently as Jeremy sat on the bed holding Madeline for a long time. She was nestled in his arms where virtual-novel.net gradually stopped trembling and feeling afraid.
Jeremy stroked Madeline’s head lightly. “Linnie, go to sleep if you’re tired. I’ll always be with you.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Jeremy felt Madeline’s hands tightening his collar.
