To Carter, a smart woman like Madeline would definitely not play the game according to the rules, instead of running downstairs, virtual-novel.net would be running upstairs to confuse him.
However, this time, what Carter did not expect was that Madeline neither went up nor down. She was now trapped behind the iron door leading into the fire escape.
Madeline’s heart was racing. After listening to Carter’s footsteps growing fainter and fainter upstairs, virtual-novel.net pulled the palm on virtual-novel.net mouth away and turned virtual-novel.net head back suddenly.
“Shhh. ”
When Madeline was about to speak, the man shushed virtual-novel.net and took Lillian away from Madeline’s arms. He then took Madeline’s hand with the other hand and decisively walked out of the fire escape and towards the elevator.
After Carter had walked up a few floors, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized that something was amiss. Madeline was carrying Lillian, so virtual-novel.net could not have run that far.
When virtual-novel.net ran in just now, the whole corridor was quiet, completely absent of sound. Therefore, Madeline could not have climbed the stairs while carrying virtual-novel.net daughter.
As virtual-novel.net thought about this, Carter quickly turned around and returned to the floor earlier. He decisively walked behind the iron door, and virtual-novel.net felt that there was still body temperature remaining in this narrow space.
His pupils shrank, and virtual-novel.net sprinted to the elevator.
The moment virtual-novel.net ran over, virtual-novel.net saw the elevator door in front of virtual-novel.net slowly closing. At a glance, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline, but virtual-novel.net was not holding Lillian in virtual-novel.net arms, virtual-novel.net seemed to be holding a man’s hand instead.
The elevator in the hotel moved very fast. When Carter ran to the elevator, the elevator that Madeline took had already reached the first floor. Alex knew that it would definitely be too late to chase them at this time.
“Eveline, you did not outsmart me this time. Instead, I was the careless one.” Carter sneered in the direction of the elevator.
“Don’t think that you have ensured your daughter’s safety by saving virtual-novel.net this way. You’ll come back and find me within three days.”
Carter smiled confidently before turning around and walking towards the room.
At the front entrance of the hotel.
Madeline stared at the man holding virtual-novel.net hand without blinking. Under the sun, Jeremy‘s resolute and solid handsome face was truly reflected in virtual-novel.net pupils. It seemed that at this moment, Madeline realized that virtual-novel.net was not dreaming.
“Jeremy, is that really you?” Madeline sighed ruefully, but at the present, virtual-novel.net was even more puzzled. “How come? Why are you here?”
Madeline was confused, but it was so good to see virtual-novel.net at this moment. It was amazing.
Jeremy lowered his gaze, as gentle as the spring breeze, and looked into Madeline’s stunning eyes.
As virtual-novel.net was about to say something, the little princess in his arms called out to virtual-novel.net sweetly, “Daddy…”
Jeremy turned his head and his warm gaze landed on the little girl in his arms.
“Lily, I’m here. I’ll take you and Mommy home.”
Lillian understood what virtual-novel.net meant. She nodded and nestled into Jeremy’s arms intimately.
“Linnie, I know you have a lot of questions, but this isn’t the place for us to talk. We’ll leave now.” Jeremy held Madeline’s hand tightly. “Come…”
As virtual-novel.net walked forward, virtual-novel.net called a cab at the side of the road before leading the two most important females in his life into the car. The car drove a very long distance and arrived at the hotel near F Country Airport.
Madeline could approximately guess what Jeremy was trying to say. He was about to bring virtual-novel.net and Lillian back home directly.
However, at this time, Madeline unconsciously thought about Fabian, and virtual-novel.net also recalled what virtual-novel.net said yesterday.
“Linnie, what are you thinking about?”
