After virtual-novel.net heard that, Madeline retracted virtual-novel.net outstretched foot back.
‘Jeremy?
‘Is that man watching a video related to Jeremy?
‘Why is virtual-novel.net watching that?’
Madeline was curious, and an uneasy feeling surged from the bottom of virtual-novel.net heart.
When virtual-novel.net was trying to figure out why this man was watching a video on Jeremy, virtual-novel.net noticed that the man had spotted her.
His narrow black eyes stared straight at virtual-novel.net like the moon in the night. They looked so cold yet so deep.
“Come and sit here.” The man parted his lips and invited virtual-novel.net over.
Madeline wanted to understand more of what was going on, so virtual-novel.net went over to sit down.
The maid who was serving the man poured Madeline a cup of tea and handed it to virtual-novel.net politely with a smile.
Madeline held the teacup in virtual-novel.net hands and felt the warmth spreading from virtual-novel.net palms to virtual-novel.net heart.
To be frank, virtual-novel.net was pretty lucky. At least virtual-novel.net life was saved.
As for Ryan…
Madeline’s eyes became bleak. At the end of the day, a life was lost in front of virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net could not be completely unmoved.
“Are you thinking about your dead friend?” The man’s charming voice fell lazily into virtual-novel.net ears.
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses and lifted virtual-novel.net head to look at the man who had seen through her.
“I don’t know your name yet. How should I call you?” Madeline changed the topic, but virtual-novel.net tone was still weak.
The man took a sip of tea and parted his lips lazily. “You can call me Mr. Carter like they do.”
Madeline nodded and continued to thank him. “Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Carter. Thanks for asking someone to take care of me and treat my face.”
The man looked probingly at Madeline’s stunning eyes that looked like limpid autumn waters. Then, virtual-novel.net moved his eyes away coldly. “Your face won’t be healed in just ten days or half a month. You have to be prepared to fight the long fight.”
He lowered his head to look at the video on the laptop as virtual-novel.net said that to Madeline.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fists as virtual-novel.net had already expected this outcome.
Back then, virtual-novel.net had a bloody scar on virtual-novel.net face because Meredith slashed her. She used so much time before it recovered, let alone the injuries virtual-novel.net was facing now.
However, virtual-novel.net had a huge urge to go home in virtual-novel.net heart. She wanted to see Jeremy, virtual-novel.net children, and virtual-novel.net family.
“Who is this woman?”
While virtual-novel.net was spacing out, Madeline heard the man asking curiously.
She lifted virtual-novel.net head and saw the man pointing at the laptop with his long, thin fingers while asking his entourage.
His entourage lowered his hand and looked at it. Then, virtual-novel.net replied respectfully, “Mr. Carter, that’s Jeremy’s wife, Eveline Montgomery.”
“Eveline Montgomery?”
The man shifted his gaze to Madeline after virtual-novel.net heard that.
“You told me your name’s Eveline Montgomery that day.”
“…”
When virtual-novel.net was met with the man’s cold and suspicious gaze, Madeline felt nervous for no reason.
Initially, virtual-novel.net did not want to hide virtual-novel.net identity, but when virtual-novel.net realized that the man was investigating Jeremy, virtual-novel.net needed to.
When virtual-novel.net was about to find a reason to overcome this, virtual-novel.net heard the man’s entourage saying, “Oh, virtual-novel.net name is Eveline Montgomery too? It must be a coincidence.”
“Coincidence?”
“Yeah, Mr. Carter. I just got news this morning that Jeremy sent his children to school with his wife, Eveline. There are some photos here too.”
That person said and pulled up the photos from the album on the laptop.
