Suddenly, virtual-novel.net became very pessimistic, especially after virtual-novel.net saw Naomi’s arrogant, confident, and pleased face when virtual-novel.net was sure that virtual-novel.net did not have the guts to face Jeremy. Madeline could not accept this.
She clenched virtual-novel.net fists and took a deep breath. She kept on telling herself to calm down.
However, when virtual-novel.net looked at herself in the mirror, virtual-novel.net could not keep calm.
She turned around and forced herself to not look.
She stood with virtual-novel.net back to the mirror for a very long time. She endured the discomfort on virtual-novel.net face when suddenly, virtual-novel.net remembered something and there was a glint in virtual-novel.net dull, lifeless eyes.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net should try it.
Madeline thought about it and put on virtual-novel.net clothes and mask.
When virtual-novel.net was about to go out, virtual-novel.net heard knockings on the door.
Madeline walked over to open the door. To virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy upon opening the door.
Their eyes met, and Madeline was slightly taken aback. However, virtual-novel.net pretended to stay calm. “How can I help you, Mr. Whitman?”
Madeline was curious indeed. Should Jeremy not be at work after sending the children to school? Why did virtual-novel.net come back?
Plus, virtual-novel.net did not know if virtual-novel.net was delusional but virtual-novel.net felt that Jeremy’s eyes were intentionally avoiding virtual-novel.net face.
“Are you okay?” After a long while, Jeremy finally asked.
‘Okay?’
Madeline shifted virtual-novel.net eyes in puzzlement before remembering what happened in the park just now.
“You heard about it too, Mr. Whitman? About what happened just now?”
“Yeah.” Jeremy nodded. “So, are you okay?”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Whitman. I’m fine.” Madeline’s answer was straight to the point. “I’m sorry, Mr. Whitman, I need to go out for a bit. Can I take a day off?”
“Are you going out? Let me drive you.”
“…” Madeline had never seen Jeremy being so passionate and friendly before. She quickly declined. “No need, my boyfriend will pick me up.”
Madeline had no choice, so virtual-novel.net could only use Carter as an excuse to decline Jeremy.
She could notice the subtle changes on Jeremy’s face. However, virtual-novel.net did not have time to think too much about it.
After Madeline got out of the house, virtual-novel.net called a cab from the side of the road.
When Jeremy saw Madeline getting into the car, virtual-novel.net got into his own car and followed behind her.
Even though Madeline had only gone to Adam’s place once, virtual-novel.net still remembered where it was as clear as day.
After virtual-novel.net arrived at Adam’s home, Madeline stood at the door and hesitated.
When virtual-novel.net was hesitating, the woman named Amy walked out of the house. However, to Madeline, Amy was Cathy from before.
Amy spotted Madeline and walked to the door curiously. She looked into Madeline’s eyes and felt a sense of familiarity. “Are you—”
“I want to see Dr. Brown. Is virtual-novel.net home?”
“Oh, you’re looking for Adam.” Amy looked into the house. “Come in, then. He’s home.”
“Thanks.” Madeline let out a sigh of relief before following Amy into the house.
Adam was playing with the children in the living room. When virtual-novel.net saw Amy bringing Madeline over, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline’s eyes curiously for a moment.
“Eveline?” Adam asked probingly.
Madeline did not nod or shake virtual-novel.net head. “Adam, I think you’re the only person who can help me now.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net hand and removed the mask from virtual-novel.net face.
