“Jeremy, Jeremy?” The woman was confused at Jeremy’s reaction.
Even Jeremy himself did not understand why those eyes were able to make virtual-novel.net feel so disconcerted. Plus, the view of that woman’s back caused virtual-novel.net to feel a sharp pain in his heart for some reason.
This was so strange.
However, virtual-novel.net did not have time to look into this before virtual-novel.net was urged away by the woman by his side.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Madeline held the umbrella, and after virtual-novel.net walked for a while, virtual-novel.net slowly stopped walking.
She did not know when the sky turned black. When Jeremy walked past virtual-novel.net earlier, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net vision had turned black.
Her heart was in immense pain, but right now, the wounds on virtual-novel.net face started to burn painfully.
Madeline placed the umbrella down while feeling unwell. However, the moment virtual-novel.net removed virtual-novel.net scarf and mask, a passerby suddenly exclaimed, “Damn, what a scary face!”
The passerby’s unintentional words sounded so piercing as they penetrated Madeline’s eardrums.
She silently stood where virtual-novel.net was and watched as the passerby ran away hurriedly after being shocked by virtual-novel.net face. Madeline started to adapt and get used to being looked at in a weird light.
Of course, virtual-novel.net did not care about the passerby’s gaze. The only person virtual-novel.net cared about was the man named Jeremy Whitman.
However, he…
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net gaze in desolation and allowed the dense raindrops to crash onto virtual-novel.net body.
In the silence, virtual-novel.net heard footsteps getting nearer to her. Then, an umbrella appeared above virtual-novel.net head.
“Do you not want to recover?” The man’s cold and clear voice sounded flat. “Have you ever considered that you might affect your recovering face if you stand in the rain like this?”
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fists and put away virtual-novel.net negative emotions. After virtual-novel.net put on virtual-novel.net mask, virtual-novel.net turned around.
Under the streetlight, virtual-novel.net saw the man holding the umbrella with his icy poker face looking extremely frigid.
“Why are you here?” Madeline was curious.
However, the man did not answer her. “Come with me.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net turned around. When virtual-novel.net saw that Madeline was not moving, virtual-novel.net shifted the umbrella slightly toward her.
“You’ve been wandering aimlessly for the entire afternoon. You’re homeless.”
“…”
Homeless.
Immediately, Madeline felt a coldness in virtual-novel.net heart.
Glendale was virtual-novel.net hometown. Her maternal home and in-laws were all here but now, virtual-novel.net really had nowhere to go…
Madeline followed the man back to a modern-looking European manor.
The man asked the doctor over to treat Madeline’s face. Madeline lay on the bed like a lifeless doll as virtual-novel.net allowed people to do anything they wanted to her.
After a while, Madeline finally felt the burning dryness and itchiness on virtual-novel.net face slowly disappearing.
She picked up the mirror to look at virtual-novel.net face. She could not bear to look at the area under virtual-novel.net eyes.
Madeline placed the mirror down. When virtual-novel.net was about to sit up, virtual-novel.net saw the mysterious and graceful man walking in.
The man’s hands were in his pockets and there were no emotions on his icy face.
He walked over to Madeline, and his eyes that were glinting ominously were staring piercingly into Madeline’s eyes.
“It seems that you’re hiding something important, am I right?”
