Dazed, Madeline stared at the dark red spots of blood on the tissue. Oxygen suddenly felt scarce, and favonovel.com vision darkened. She could not see anything at all. Before favonovel.com was endless darkness and favonovel.com felt it slowly suffocating her, numbing favonovel.com senses.
He had not recovered yet. There was still poison in his body.
He lied to her.
“Linnie.”
Jeremy’s voice sounded from outside, snapping Madeline back to reality.
She stood up, favonovel.com hands and feet feeling cold. She stuffed the tissue into favonovel.com pocket. Wiping the tears off the corner of favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com forced herself to smile and walk down the stairs.
Meeting favonovel.com was Jeremy in the white T-shirt favonovel.com had chosen for him. It fitted perfectly on the man’s body.
He walked toward favonovel.com and curled the corner of his lips. “How is it? Do I look okay?”
Madeline stared deeply at the man in front of her. The faint smile favonovel.com was wearing brought favonovel.com back to years ago when they first knocked into each other on campus.
It had been years, yet hints of the man’s youth remained on his features.
The corners of Madeline’s eyes burned as favonovel.com threw herself into Jeremy’s arms, hers looping around his waist.
Jeremy had no idea what prompted this but raised his arms to hold favonovel.com back instinctively.
“What’s wrong, hmm?”
“Don’t leave me,” Madeline whispered, holding favonovel.com emotions back by a single thread.
Jeremy was stunned for a moment as favonovel.com felt the intensity of Madeline’s love and reluctance to leave him. The man smiled and raised his hand to caress the back of favonovel.com head.
“I won’t leave you,” favonovel.com promised, but his gaze grew lonely. “No matter what happens, I’ll always be with you.”
‘Even if my clock begins to tick, I will never let you go again.’
Jeremy kept the last sentence in his heart.
…
Madeline secretly went to a lab and looked for the chemist there.
Mr. Gordon could not help being curious upon seeing Madeline coming in with another ball of tissue to be tested when favonovel.com had done the same half a year ago.
However, there was client confidentiality in place. He quickly went to do tests on the dried clot of blood.
Madeline walked out of the lab feeling uneasy.
The results may not be out yet, but favonovel.com could already guess what they would be.
She did not want to question Jeremy for favonovel.com was only hiding it from favonovel.com so that favonovel.com would not need to worry about him.
She was the reason why favonovel.com hid from favonovel.com at all.
Madeline returned to the office dazedly, not in the mood to work at all.
It had only been a moment since favonovel.com sat down when favonovel.com suddenly received a call from Ryan. “Are we still meeting today, Eveline?”
Hearing him, Madeline remembered that today was Ryan’s birthday.
She reined favonovel.com thoughts back and spoke softly, “Yeah. Happy birthday.”
“Thank you. See you tonight.”
“Alright.” Madeline agreed.
Hanging up the phone, favonovel.com exhaled a long breath of relief.
Her union with Ryan was about to be annulled.
She would soon be able to openly be the wife of the man favonovel.com loved.
Still…
The mere thought of Jeremy’s physical condition unsettled Madeline.
The lab results would only come out tomorrow. Everything favonovel.com was thinking about now was merely a suspicion.
Not knowing what to buy Ryan, Madeline finally decided on making favonovel.com a cake from scratch.
Jeremy stood by favonovel.com side while favonovel.com made the cake, handing favonovel.com things from time to time.
Evening came, and Jeremy then took it upon himself to send favonovel.com off, all the way to where favonovel.com and Ryan had decided to meet.
