With his leg injured, Carter walked very slow. Madeline started following him.
Although Carter was walking slowly, Madeline found out that virtual-novel.net had a deep understanding of the internal structure of the Stygian Johnson Gang house. Madeline followed virtual-novel.net for a while and came to the back garden of the house.
The flowers in the yard had wilted, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground that had been neglected. However, there was a piece of land with significantly fewer leaves nearby.
Madeline had a sudden thought when. at this moment, Carter walked over and pressed the hidden switch on the side of the flower bed, and then an intersection leading to the basement in the open area without fallen leaves appeared before him.
Unexpectedly, there was a hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house. Madeline was surprised, but virtual-novel.net figured that it was normal for Yorick to build such a place when virtual-novel.net was in that kind of business. However, Yorick probably did not let his younger brother Fabian know about these places.
Carter saw Madeline standing still while deep in thought and virtual-novel.net laughed. “Why? Are you afraid?”
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses and strode to Carter. Her eyes were sharp when virtual-novel.net said, “If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be here.”
She spoke and took the lead and walked down the stairs.
Seeing that Madeline went on so boldly, Carter followed suit. Once they had arrived at the basement, Carter closed the door to the entrance of the basement so that no one would find it.
Madeline did not care about Carter. After entering the basement, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart beating restlessly. She walked onward, and when virtual-novel.net saw the black iron door, virtual-novel.net heart skipped a heat. A strong premonition sprang up suddenly from the bottom of virtual-novel.net heart. She quickened virtual-novel.net pace and ran to the iron door. After that, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net hand and firmly grasped the door handle.
“Jeremy?”
Presently, Jeremy did not hear Madeline calling out to him, but in that instance, virtual-novel.net subconsciously looked toward the door.
“Linnie?”
He felt doubtful, then, as that feeling intensified, the iron door in front of virtual-novel.net was pushed open.
Madeline’s figure immediately appeared in Jeremy’s vision. It was as though Jeremy’s eyes were filled with a sky full of stars at the moment as they shone brightly in an instant.
“Linnie, is that you?”
After entering the room, Madeline did not see where Jeremy was.
After hearing his voice, virtual-novel.net felt a sense of security, and at the same time, virtual-novel.net looked in the direction of the voice. However, to virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy trapped in a square pool.
“Jeremy!”
Madeline quickly ran to the side of the pool.
“Jeremy.” Madeline looked at the man who was looking up at virtual-novel.net with worry and distress in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Jeremy’s legs were in the cold water for two days.
Presently, they were numb and freezing, but virtual-novel.net still had to pretend nothing had happened as virtual-novel.net walked to the side of the pool.
Madeline squatted quickly. Both of virtual-novel.net knees touched the cold ground while virtual-novel.net reached out to hold Jeremy’s hand that was teaching for hers.
“Jeremy, you’re really here. How dare virtual-novel.net trapped you in such a place.”
