Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before lowering virtual-novel.net head in terror to avoid looking into Jeremy’s eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net removed virtual-novel.net hands in a panic.
Jeremy was also slightly absent-minded. Even though their eyes were meeting in the dark, virtual-novel.net could still see the bright starlight in virtual-novel.net eyes.
That glint in virtual-novel.net eyes moved virtual-novel.net so much.
However, virtual-novel.net face…
Jeremy came back to his senses as if virtual-novel.net had just been abruptly awoken.
At that instant, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net had vaguely seen something special.
Clank!
Suddenly, Jeremy heard the sound of crashing downstairs. Then, virtual-novel.net heard a muffled grunt of pain.
He immediately turned around, and even though virtual-novel.net was in the dark, virtual-novel.net still had a good sense of direction.
Jeremy went downstairs, and using the moonlight outside the window, virtual-novel.net saw a frail figure walking out the door.
Jeremy lifted his eyebrow in curiosity after virtual-novel.net saw the figure flashing across him.
“Linnie?”
‘It’s so late. What’s Linnie doing out there?’
Jeremy pondered. When virtual-novel.net was about to go downstairs, virtual-novel.net heard a woman’s voice calling virtual-novel.net from the bedroom.
“Jeremy, where are you going? When’s the light coming back on?”
Jeremy stopped in his tracks when virtual-novel.net heard that.
‘So, the figure that ran outside isn’t Linnie? However, why did it look so similar to her?’
He pondered and answered without thinking, “I’m going to check the main power switch now. Go back to the room. Be careful, don’t hurt yourself.”
Jeremy said and quickly strode his long legs over to the door with a purpose.
Madeline knew there was a glasshouse in Whitman Manor. At this moment, virtual-novel.net just wanted to stay there to calm down.
She did not know why the power went out all of a sudden. She also did not know why Jeremy appeared all of a sudden.
‘Did virtual-novel.net see?
‘Did virtual-novel.net see my face just now?’
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net hand to touch the scars on virtual-novel.net face lightly.
When virtual-novel.net touched the bumpy places, virtual-novel.net felt as if cold water had been poured into virtual-novel.net heart. Her entire body went cold instantly.
She lifted virtual-novel.net head and looked at the bright moonlight through the glasshouse to try to chase away the darkness in virtual-novel.net heart.
‘Eveline Montgomery, you can’t be negative.
‘As long as you’re alive, you still have hope.’
She encouraged herself silently and took a deep breath to recompose herself.
When virtual-novel.net was considering staying a little longer here, Madeline heard familiar footsteps approaching virtual-novel.net from behind.
Madeline could tell that it was Jeremy’s footsteps.
“Did I scare you just now?”
Jeremy’s voice sounded gentle from behind.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fingers nervously and did not dare to turn virtual-novel.net head. “No, you didn’t scare me, Mr. Whitman.”
She said and turned around slowly with virtual-novel.net head lowered. She wanted to try virtual-novel.net best not to look into Jeremy’s eyes.
“It’s late, Mr. Whitman. I’m going back to my room.”
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net head and wanted to leave in a hurry.
However, as it happened, Jeremy’s tall and slender figure was standing at the door of the glasshouse. Madeline wanted to pass through but had no choice and could only walk around him.
