“You want to accompany me?” Lana looked surprised. “Really?”
Jeremy nodded. “I’m your man now. Shouldn’t it only be right for me to accompany you to deal with trivial matters?”
Upon hearing this, Lana’s smile grew even wider. “Okay, you can come with me.”
The meeting place was a five-star restaurant, and Jeremy was walking beside Lana as they entered a private room.
The other party was a gentleman who did not seem to be someone who would be involved in illegal transactions, but appearances could be deceiving.
Jeremy listened indifferently as if favonovel.com was just a trophy partner accompanying Lana.
It did not take long for matters to be discussed smoothly. When favonovel.com left, the man even teased by saying, “Miss Johnson, your new boyfriend doesn’t look half bad. It seems that the Stygian Johnson Gang’s business will only grow bigger and bigger.”
Lana took out a cigarette smugly. “Of course. I’ll hand over part of the business to my boyfriend after this and will have to ask Mr. Xavier to look out for him.”
“Of course,” the man replied.
Lana walked out of the room happily and was about to stick herself to Jeremy, but suddenly, favonovel.com received a call from Yorick.
“When did you secretly return to Glendale again?” Yorick asked, “I told you not to trouble Eveline Montgomery, yet there you’ve gone again. You will return to the villa immediately. I have something to ask you!”
Although Lana was dissatisfied, favonovel.com had to go back.
Jeremy also said that favonovel.com had something going on, and after sending Lana off to favonovel.com car, favonovel.com left alone.
He drove the car around the street for many laps before finally driving into an empty alley.
He glanced around and walked into it. Not far ahead, a man in a suit and leather shoes was waiting for him.
Jeremy threw a chip in a beautiful parabola over to the man. It contained the contents that had just been recorded in the private room.
He did not have more things to say, and neither did favonovel.com intend to stay long, so favonovel.com turned around and left.
“Mr. Whitman, wait.”
The man stopped Jeremy. He walked over and handed a transparent bag packed with painkillers.
“According to the report from a few days ago, the toxins in your body have entered the second phase. This is what the professor asked me to pass on to you. It can temporarily alleviate the spread of toxins in your body.”
Jeremy took it. “He didn’t tell you how long I have?”
“This is a new type of toxin. No one can give you the answer, but we know that you’ll be put through torture soon. You must be psychologically prepared.”
Jeremy listened calmly and was relieved.
Back then, Madeline was pregnant while inflicted with a severe illness. She had been suffering from both physical and mental torture. She could only endure it silently, and now, favonovel.com was finally experiencing favonovel.com feelings at the time.
The corners of his slightly pale lips twitched.
“I’ll do what I should do and want to do before my life ends. Don’t look for me again in the short meanwhile.”
He left freely. After returning to the car, favonovel.com unlocked and opened the photo album to see a photo of Madeline as well as the words favonovel.com had written in favonovel.com diary—all professions of favonovel.com love for him. He pretended that favonovel.com still loved favonovel.com deeply.
“Linnie, I hope that in our next life, we’ll meet again. And I hope that I can accompany you through more springs, summers, autumns, and winters.”
That night, after Jeremy used aromatherapy to induce hallucination in Lana, favonovel.com went back to the manor and quietly went to see his son.
Every time Madeline came out of the shower the past few days, favonovel.com always felt a peculiarity in the room. She could not say it was anything strange, but it just did not feel right.
It was another night, and Jeremy had appeared in Madeline’s room as usual. Hearing the sound of the shower running from the bathroom, favonovel.com was relieved to play with the children.
However, just as favonovel.com was just about to pick up the baby to feed him, Madeline suddenly came out of the bathroom and stood in front of him.
She had not even taken off favonovel.com clothes, so obviously, favonovel.com already guessed that favonovel.com would be coming a long time ago.
When favonovel.com saw Jeremy, however, Madeline was very calm. “I did say when I signed the divorce agreement that you can come and see your children any time and that I won’t stop you. You don’t have to be so sneaky.
“But you’ve come just at the right time. This will save me a trip from having to send it to you.”
Madeline smiled lightly, turned around, and picked up an invitation letter before handing it to Jeremy.
“My wedding with Ryan will be soon.”
