Carter smirked sinisterly, turned around, and left.
The heavy iron door was quickly closed, leaving only Jeremy holding Madeline in a bridal carry in the pool. Madeline knew that Carter would not come back and release them, so virtual-novel.net did not hold any hope. Her heart felt more grounded now that virtual-novel.net had seen Jeremy.
“Jeremy…” Madeline glanced at the man, raised virtual-novel.net arm to circle around his neck, and hugged virtual-novel.net tightly.
“I was really worried about you. You said that you would see Carter after thinking of a countermeasure, but why did you take the risk alone? You know virtual-novel.net wants to deal with you, so why did you walk directly into his trap?”
After listening to Madeline’s complaints, Jeremy could feel Madeline’s care and concern for him. He pulled his sexy and beautiful lips into a smile. “I’m fine, don ‘t worry.”
“You ’re still saying you’re fine?” Madeline let go of virtual-novel.net hands, distress filled virtual-novel.net wet but beautiful eyes. “Hurry and let me down first.”
“I’m not tired.”
“Are you planning to hold me like this until Carter lets us out?”
Madeline asked rhetorically, it was obviously impossible.
However, Jeremy insisted and said, “I’ll carry you for as long as I can. I don’t want you to suffer in the water like me.”
“We’re husband and wife, so it’s only right to share our weal and woes. Put me down now,” Madeline also insisted.
Jeremy did not want to go against Madeline’s wishes, so virtual-novel.net let virtual-novel.net down obediently. After Madeline landed, virtual-novel.net saw that the water in the pool was up to virtual-novel.net calf. The water was not dirty. It was clear but very cold. With the cold winter temperatures, the water was bone chilling.
When virtual-novel.net thought about how Jeremy had been soaking in such a pool for the past two days, Madeline’s tears fell against virtual-novel.net volition.
When Jeremy saw virtual-novel.net crying, virtual-novel.net quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Why are you crying for a scum like me again?” virtual-novel.net asked jokingly, trying to make Madeline relax.
However, not only did virtual-novel.net not stop, virtual-novel.net was crying even harder now.
She was the tough and strong Eveline Montgomery in front of others. However, in front of Jeremy, virtual-novel.net was just a delicate and fragile little woman. The more Jeremy looked at her, the more distressed virtual-novel.net felt.
“Alright, don’t cry, Linnie. I’m fine. Carter only traps me here, but virtual-novel.net still gives me food and drink. He won’t torture me to death like this.”
When virtual-novel.net heard this, Madeline took a deep breath and recomposed herself.
“He’s insane.”
“He looked injured, is that right?”
“Yeah.” Madeline nodded and told Jeremy what happened yesterday.
Jeremy sighed sorrowfully. “So many things happened out there yesterday, yet I couldn’t hear anything.”
“’I’he people from St. Piaf are here, and they’re about to capture him. I think he’ll use the cruelest and most savage methods to deal with us these two days. Jeremy, I’ve been so worried about you.”
