“No!”
Jeremy used all of the energy virtual-novel.net had to trap Madeline into a tight hug.
Madeline was stunned. She could feel Jeremy’s arms shaking when they were around her. His hands were also shaking and his entire body as well.
“Jeremy…”
Madeline’s heart started to ache.
She did not know if virtual-novel.net was shaking because virtual-novel.net was in too much pain or whether virtual-novel.net was too worried about her.
“Jeremy, I have to go. No one and nothing here can help you aside from that anti-toxoid test reagent, so I have to go…”
“There’s someone else who can help me…”
Jeremy said this sentence weakly.
Madeline was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard this. “Who?”
“Shirley Brown.”
That stunning face immediately appeared in Madeline’s brain.
“Shirley?” virtual-novel.net asked in disbelief.
“Yes, her.” Jeremy tightened his arms around her. “Not long ago after I finished buying you the new clothes, I saw virtual-novel.net standing outside the door of our room.”
“Why is virtual-novel.net in St. Piaf? How does virtual-novel.net know where we are?” Madeline widened virtual-novel.net alluring eyes in surprise.
Jeremy furrowed his long eyebrows. “She even reminded me that the poison in my body would flare up soon and asked me to go back to Glendale to find Adam as soon as I could.”
When Madeline heard this, virtual-novel.net somehow felt that something was amiss.
She let go of virtual-novel.net arms around virtual-novel.net and did not want to find out the answer at this moment. She quickly found Jeremy’s phone that was on his body.
After unlocking his phone, Madeline found Shirley’s number in his contacts. However, while virtual-novel.net was in the middle of doing that, the doorbell rang.
Madeline did not want to pay attention to it. However, it kept ringing and virtual-novel.net could only go to open the door.
She thought it was room service, but after virtual-novel.net opened the door, virtual-novel.net saw Carter standing in front of her.
Carter still had the posture of an elegant son of nobility. However, to Madeline, this man was not as upright as the time when virtual-novel.net had just met him.
Madeline blocked the door vigilantly when virtual-novel.net figured that Carter might be here to cause trouble for her, or virtual-novel.net might have even brought the police to arrest her.
However, before Madeline could say anything, Carter suddenly reached out his hand in front of virtual-novel.net and opened his palm.
“You need this, right?” Carter asked. There was a faint smile that looked both righteous and evil on his handsome face.
Madeline’s eyes lit up. She saw the anti-toxoid test reagent virtual-novel.net needed in Carter’s hand.
This was the anti-toxoid test reagent that virtual-novel.net always had with virtual-novel.net but lost unknowingly!
Madeline quickly reached out virtual-novel.net hand to grab it but Carter clenched his fist tightly.
This movement seemed to have distinguished the light in Madeline’s eyes.
She looked behind virtual-novel.net and closed the door of the room slightly. Her black yet bright and clear eyes looked into Carter’s smiling eyes sharply.
“Carter, don’t make me look down on you,” Madeline said softly.
Carter tugged the corners of his lips lightly and answered bluntly, “I don’t care what kind of image I have in your heart. I just want to reach my goal.”
Madeline stared blankly at the man who was smiling superficially. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net realized that Carter was so much different than what virtual-novel.net had imagined virtual-novel.net to be.
This man was too mysterious, and until now, virtual-novel.net still could not understand the reason behind his actions.
At this moment, his straightforwardness and ‘honesty’ made virtual-novel.net seem extremely jolly.
