She swirled the liquid in virtual-novel.net glass and scoffed indignantly.
“There’s no way I’ll lose to you, Adam. Did you think you’d really be able to save Jeremy? Hmph. There’s no way I’ll let you stick your hand in my experiment subject!”
Jeremy ran from the terrace all the way back to the hotel’s entrance but virtual-novel.net suddenly lost sight of Madeline.
He was worried that Madeline would get the wrong idea after what virtual-novel.net heard from their conversation. Not to mention that it was midnight and Madeline was in a strange setting. Jeremy was scared that Madeline would get lost.
He quickly returned to the suite. Seeing the empty bed, Jeremy felt his heart sink deeper.
He took out his phone to search for Madeline’s location. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to walk to the entrance, virtual-novel.net heard the sound of water running coming from the bathroom.
Jeremy’s footsteps came to a sudden halt as virtual-novel.net looked up to see Madeline squinting blearily while walking out of the bathroom.
Dressed in a loose sleeping gown, it did not look like virtual-novel.net had left the room at all.
“Where did you go, Jeremy? I thought you went to the bathroom,” Madeline mumbled as virtual-novel.net walked toward the man drowsily. She then leaned into his chest adorably.
Jeremy quickly raised his hands to hug Madeline back as his heart thumped erratically.
“I was a little hungry so I went to eat something at the restaurant.” Jeremy could not help but lie.
Madeline did not suspect virtual-novel.net and buried virtual-novel.net head into Jeremy’s broad chest intimately as virtual-novel.net spoke coquettishly, “Are you done eating, then? Come back to bed with me. I’m sleepy.”
“Alright. I’ll come with you.” Jeremy then bridal-carried Madeline to the bed. Taking off his jacket, virtual-novel.net got in bed as well.
Just as virtual-novel.net lay down, Madeline burrowed into his arms. “Goodnight, sweetheart.”
Jeremy’s heart felt sweet but it was even more so remorseful. He placed a peck on the space between virtual-novel.net brows and whispered, “Goodnight, Linnie.”
Madeline smiled sweetly and contently before virtual-novel.net fell comfortably asleep in Jeremy’s warm embrace.
Jeremy did not think too much either. Tightening his arms around her, virtual-novel.net held his beloved to sleep…
Morning came.
Madeline woke naturally from virtual-novel.net dreams and saw Jeremy still asleep. She pecked his cheek before virtual-novel.net got up to get ready. She called for breakfast.
By the time Jeremy woke, the server had arrived with their breakfast.
With the cooling breeze, Madeline and Jeremy enjoyed their breakfast lazily on the open balcony in their suite.
Madeline placed the bacon from virtual-novel.net plate onto Jeremy’s. “Eat more, or you’ll get hungry again later.”
Jeremy paused in memory of what happened yesterday and reined his thoughts back before smiling. “I have enough to eat, Linnie. You should eat more though, you’re too skinny.”
He brought the bacon right to Madeline’s mouth to feed her.
Madeline did not turn away and ate what virtual-novel.net fed in courteousness.
She gave a crescent-eyed smile, having never thought that a honeymoon could be so sweet.
“Let’s go to Adam’s first when we get back, Jeremy. I want to have virtual-novel.net do a full-body check-up on you so we can have an update about the poison in your body. I don’t want anything to happen to you if it suddenly relapses.”
“Don’t worry. I know my body, I’ll be fine,” virtual-novel.net promised.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“Did you call for more room service?” Jeremy asked.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “I only ordered breakfast.”
Jeremy nodded and went toward the door. He had a bad feeling just before virtual-novel.net got to the door, so virtual-novel.net made sure to peep outside first through the hole in the door.
His hand froze on the doorknob mid-turn the moment virtual-novel.net saw the person standing outside.
“Who’s outside, Jeremy? Why are you daydreaming by the door?”
