Madeline quickly took the elevator upstairs. Just as virtual-novel.net stepped out, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
“Shirley?” Madeline called out hesitantly.
The woman walking a small distance away halted virtual-novel.net steps and turned around. “It’s me, Mrs. Whitman,” Shirley smiled and explained, “I left something in the room so I came back to take it.”
Madeline then ran toward Shirley. The woman was no different than a lifesaver to virtual-novel.net at that moment.
“The poison in Jeremy’s body has suddenly relapsed, Shirley. You treated virtual-novel.net once before, right? So that means you can help virtual-novel.net again! Please, he’s in a lot of pain!”
At that, Shirley’s expression morphed into one of worry. “Where’s Jeremy now?”
“In the room!”
“Bring me there now!” Shirley quickly followed after Madeline.
Entering the room, Madeline saw that Jeremy had already managed to sit up and was leaning against the bed. She immediately ran toward him. “You’ll be alright, Jeremy. Shirley coincidentally came back to the hotel to get something. She’ll definitely be able to help you!”
Hearing that, Jeremy’s peach blossom eyes half-squinted as virtual-novel.net saw Shirley walking toward him. He twisted his body away in disdain.
Shirley saw Jeremy’s distaste but pretended not to. With an expression of concern, virtual-novel.net squatted by Jeremy’s side and took the opportunity to put an arm on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, Jeremy. I’ll stop the suffering.”
“No thanks, I’ll be fine soon. I wouldn’t want to trouble you.” Jeremy declined politely. He would rather suffer than come in contact with this woman with ulterior motives.
He wanted to make Madeline understand, but virtual-novel.net knew it was difficult to explain it to virtual-novel.net now.
“My luggage is still downstairs in the lobby, Mrs. Whitman. The medication and the reagents that I need should be in my luggage. Could I bother you to help me bring them up?” Shirley requested.
Madeline immediately agreed. “I’ll go get them right now!”
She glanced at Jeremy again and immediately ran out without wasting another second.
“Linnie…” Jeremy wanted to call Madeline back but virtual-novel.net did not have the strength.
Shirley curled virtual-novel.net lips into a smile as virtual-novel.net watched Jeremy suffer while enduring the pain. “With your intellect, you should already have guessed it, Jeremy. The perfume I got for your wife isn’t just any normal perfume.”
Jeremy raised his charming eyes that were still filled with killing intent. “What do you want, Shirley?”
“You should know what I want.” Shirley smiled intriguingly before virtual-novel.net bent over to lean in front of him. “Relax, how could I possibly let anything happen to you?”
Shirley smiled as virtual-novel.net touched Jeremy’s face amorously.
Jeremy avoided virtual-novel.net hands in infuriation. “What’s your goal, Shirley?”
Shirley took virtual-novel.net hand back and smiled. “Stop guessing what my goal is. Shouldn’t you worry more about your wife instead? She’s really worried about you. I’m sure you wouldn’t want virtual-novel.net to worry so much, right?”
Jeremy’s brows knitted even tighter at the words.
He could not bear to see Madeline frantic and terrified.
“You have no choice, Jeremy. You can only listen to me.” Shirley quirked virtual-novel.net lips proudly as virtual-novel.net took out a syringe from virtual-novel.net purse that virtual-novel.net had prepared earlier. Then, virtual-novel.net looked up and glanced at the bathroom…
Madeline went to the lobby and brought Shirley’s luggage up.
However, when virtual-novel.net returned to the room, neither Shirley nor Jeremy were where virtual-novel.net left them.
She was confused when virtual-novel.net suddenly saw a hotel staff walking over from the bathroom. Madeline was about to ask virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net heard strange sounds coming from the bathroom…
