The man lowered his head and flipped through the photos one by one.
Madeline could not endure this. She got up to go over so that virtual-novel.net could have a look at the photos.
The man was looking at the photos when virtual-novel.net lifted his head to look at Madeline. When virtual-novel.net saw the sharpness in Madeline’s eyes, virtual-novel.net said coldly, “Why are you so excited?”
Madeline suppressed the sharpness in virtual-novel.net eyes and answered as if it was nothing. “I’m just curious what the person with the same name as me looks like.”
The reason sounded reasonable, so the man did not suspect a thing. Then, virtual-novel.net turned his eyes back to the photos.
“What do you think about this woman with the same name as you? Do you think she’s good-looking?”
Madeline looked at the woman in the photo who had undergone plastic surgery to look like her. There was a hint of disdain in virtual-novel.net eyes. “So-so.”
“So-so?” The man had no expression on virtual-novel.net face, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. “Then, I guess your true face must be out of this world. If not, why would this kind of beauty look so-so to you?”
“…”
Madeline was speechless for the time being. Then, virtual-novel.net heard the man asking.
“Then, what do you think about the man in the photos?”
Actually, Madeline’s gaze had never left Jeremy’s body. When virtual-novel.net heard the man asking that, virtual-novel.net started admiring Jeremy brazenly.
“He’s so handsome and looks so charismatic. He’s the most good-looking man I’ve ever seen.”
“The most good-looking man you’ve ever seen?” the man asked. There was a hint of change on his emotionless and handsome face.
He placed the laptop to one side and got up slowly. His eyes that were like the silver and cold moon met Madeline’s calm ones.
“Then what do you think about my looks?”
Madeline looked at the man’s face after virtual-novel.net heard that. His sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, pink lips, and pearly whites were the rare sorts of exquisite and handsome.
“You’re pretty good-looking,” Madeline answered honestly, “I’m a little tired, so I’ll be going back to my room. I won’t be disturbing you with your tea, Mr. Carter.”
Madeline turned around after virtual-novel.net said that. However, virtual-novel.net still could not forget the photos virtual-novel.net just saw.
‘Did Jeremy send Jack and Lily to school with that woman?
‘Jeremy, do you not know that the woman isn’t me?’
Madeline thought in desolation. She did not notice the eyes that were fixed on virtual-novel.net from behind.
In the following days, virtual-novel.net endured the pain to treat virtual-novel.net injuries. Her face started to feel itchy and the doctor said this was the sign of skin forming scabs and becoming better.
However, when Madeline heard the word ‘scabs’, virtual-novel.net started feeling nervous.
She could not imagine what the skin on virtual-novel.net face would look like after the scabs fell.
She could only numb herself and hypnotize herself to stop overthinking. She would actively cooperate with virtual-novel.net treatment every day.
On the other hand, Madeline noticed that the man named Mr. Carter was indeed currently investigating Jeremy.
‘Why is virtual-novel.net investigating Jeremy?’
Madeline wanted to find out about this.
However, virtual-novel.net could not ask so brazenly. As such, virtual-novel.net could only find a chance to try and find a reason to eavesdrop.
As it turned out though, Madeline could not obtain information this way as well. She only knew that this man had been collecting information on Jeremy this whole time. As for why virtual-novel.net was doing it, Madeline did not have the answer.
However, the man’s behavior made Madeline somewhat uneasy.
She calmed herself down so that virtual-novel.net injuries would heal, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net tried to figure out what was going on.
Madeline powered through while virtual-novel.net was in this state for about another week. Then, the doctor came and told virtual-novel.net that from today on, virtual-novel.net could take off all of the gauzes on virtual-novel.net face. She could live without being wrapped in bandages anymore.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fingers tightly and sat on the sofa anxiously. She felt the layers of gauze slowly unwrapping from virtual-novel.net face while virtual-novel.net thoughts were in a whirl.
After removing all of them, Madeline picked up the mirror on the side.
She knew that virtual-novel.net face must have been ruined badly, so virtual-novel.net was prepared. However, when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net appearance clearly in the mirror, all virtual-novel.net defenses collapsed. At that moment, virtual-novel.net vision went completely dark for a moment.
Was this… actually how virtual-novel.net looked like now?
