She clenched the fork and knife tightly in virtual-novel.net hands, trying hard to suppress virtual-novel.net emotions. After virtual-novel.net took a deep breath, virtual-novel.net said, “Can I go to Glendale with you?”
The man lifted his head to look at virtual-novel.net after virtual-novel.net heard that.
Madeline looked confidently into those deep and cold obsidian eyes. “My home is in Glendale. I miss my home.”
“You want to go home looking like this?”
“No, I just want to go back to take a look.” Madeline knew virtual-novel.net current condition. She did not want to stand in front of Jeremy while looking like this.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net would not mind that virtual-novel.net was disfigured.
However, Madeline did not dare to find out. She was scared that Jeremy might not even recognize virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net were to stand in front of virtual-novel.net like this.
When virtual-novel.net thought about that scene, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net heart had been stabbed by needles.
She did not have the courage to try.
“You’re from Glendale, so you should know about a lot of things in Glendale, right? If that’s the case, you should’ve heard about Jeremy Whitman in Glendale?”
Madeline could not deny it. She nodded lightly. “I’ve heard about him. He’s the young master from the top wealthiest family in Glendale. However, I’m not sure about the rest.”
She answered calmly. Then, virtual-novel.net asked while taking advantage of the situation for virtual-novel.net benefit, “Are you asking about Jeremy? Do you want to do business with him? What do you do? Where is this place?”
After Madeline asked these questions, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net might have gotten a little too anxious.
When virtual-novel.net saw the man examining virtual-novel.net with his deep eyes, virtual-novel.net shifted virtual-novel.net gaze calmly.
“I’m just curious.”
“Everyone is inquisitive. It’s not strange,” the man said flatly, “Since you want to go home so badly, I’ll send you on the way.”
“…”
Send virtual-novel.net on the way.
This sounded a little strange, but Madeline did not think that this man would do anything to her.
He saved virtual-novel.net and even got a doctor to treat her. It could be seen that virtual-novel.net was a pretty kind-hearted person.
However, who was he? Madeline had no idea. She did not even know what this man’s full name was.
After breakfast, the man ordered the maids to make the preparations before heading to Glendale.
The maid considerately gave Madeline a mask and a scarf so that virtual-novel.net could cover the sinister-looking and ugly wounds on virtual-novel.net face.
After Madeline thanked her, virtual-novel.net found the man to ask for Ryan’s urn.
He was gone, so it did not matter what happened between them in the past anymore as they were all gone with the wind. The last thing virtual-novel.net could do for virtual-novel.net was to take virtual-novel.net back to his home.
To be frank, Ryan was not that horrible. At least the smile and warmth virtual-novel.net gave to virtual-novel.net at the beginning were all from the heart.
They went back on a yacht and Madeline could not help but recall what happened that day. Finally, they reached Glendale amidst virtual-novel.net anxiety.
When Madeline stepped foot inside Glendale, virtual-novel.net started feeling more at ease.
“Are you planning to go home now?” the man walked up to Madeline and asked.
Madeline wanted to nod, but virtual-novel.net hesitated.
“I want to send my friend home first.” Madeline lifted Ryan’s urn, then turned around while seemingly in a predicament. “Can you lend me 100 dollars?”
The man paused before asking his entourage to give Madeline a generous wad of cash.
Madeline took one of the 100 dollar bills. “Thanks,” virtual-novel.net said before turning around to hail a cab from the side of the road.
In order to prevent people from seeing virtual-novel.net horrifying face, virtual-novel.net put on a mask and wrapped a scarf around herself so that virtual-novel.net face was completely covered.
She hailed a cab and quietly sat in the backseat. As virtual-novel.net held Ryan’s urn in virtual-novel.net arms, virtual-novel.net heart started to feel heavy.
Then, the car stopped at the red light and Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net head to look out the window. However, after looking, there was debilitating pain in virtual-novel.net heart that was already hurting.
