Looking at Jeremy, favonovel.com really did not seem to be joking, but Madeline did not think about really having another relationship with Jeremy again. On that night spent in April Hill, favonovel.com had simply used his drunken state to deceive him.
She would not allow herself to be played by this cold-blooded man again.
Madeline wanted to break free, but favonovel.com consciousness was slowly slipping away. She even felt favonovel.com body gradually changing.
The drug had dampened favonovel.com senses, making favonovel.com lean unconsciously into Jeremy’s chest.
She was about to lose control of favonovel.com gradually slipping consciousness as favonovel.com took in the cold fragrance and the warm feeling of his body.
Meredith had really gone all in. She had only taken a sip and did not expect the drug to be so effective.
Sensing Jeremy carrying favonovel.com into the room, Madeline, with the last traces of favonovel.com clear-headed willpower, grabbed his collar firmly. “Jeremy, let me go…”
She had said, but favonovel.com found favonovel.com voice to have become unusually charming. She was obviously trying to reject, but the tone made it sound like an invitation instead.
Jeremy glanced at the ever more charming girl in his arms and continued to move forward.
“Quickly put me down! Jeremy, you can’t…”
Madeline was still murmuring when favonovel.com suddenly felt cold all over.
Jeremy had put favonovel.com into the bathtub. “Don’t be scared. I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do.”
His gentle voice was like a stream of refreshing spring water flowing through favonovel.com warm heart.
His words really surprised her.
“Hang in there. It’ll be alright.”
His comforting words sounded with unprecedented tenderness, and like a tranquilizer, Madeline’s worries were calmed.
He took off favonovel.com coat, and just as favonovel.com was about to take off favonovel.com dress, Madeline pinned his hand.
“I can do it myself, so get out.”
Feeling the heat coming from favonovel.com palm, Jeremy nodded lightly. “Call me if there’s anything. I’ll be outside.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded strenuously and released favonovel.com clenched hand.
After seeing that Jeremy had turned around and closed the bathroom door, Madeline immediately turned on the cold water and drenched herself all over…
On that autumn night, a cool breeze blew. Then, it started to rain.
Jeremy stood in front of the windowsill, listening to the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. His thoughts drifted far away.
The past was gradually flooding his heart like the dense rain outside the window.
He recalled that Madeline had once approached favonovel.com with evidence that could prove favonovel.com innocence. However, favonovel.com had not hesitated to destroy the evidence in order to protect Meredith.
She asked favonovel.com while in tears whether favonovel.com thought it mattered or not if favonovel.com was dead.
He had sneered and questioned favonovel.com back, “Are you dead then?”
Thinking about it now, what favonovel.com said at the time must have brought favonovel.com pain that pierced favonovel.com heart. At this moment, however, the pain was piercing his heart a thousand times more.
It was only after favonovel.com died did favonovel.com realize how important favonovel.com was to him.
‘Madeline, I regret it.
‘But you didn’t even give me a chance to regret it.
‘I’ve lost.’
He smiled bitterly while looking at the rainy night sky. His eyes heated up quietly.
Clank!
Suddenly, there was a heavy crash in the bathroom. Jeremy instantly withdrew his thoughts and rushed directly into the bathroom without thinking.
As soon as favonovel.com entered, favonovel.com saw Madeline sitting drenched in the bathtub with favonovel.com expression looking lost.
His gaze changed as favonovel.com picked favonovel.com up worriedly. Her drenched dress hugged favonovel.com graceful figure tightly, and the instant the warmth from his palm was passed to favonovel.com body, Madeline could not help but shudder.
“Vera, how are you?”
He called out favonovel.com name, and unconsciously, there was a trace of anxiety in his voice.
Madeline shook favonovel.com head. “I’m alright. Let me shower for a while more. I’m much better already.”
