Seeing Madeline coming, Ryan got out of the car and opened the passenger’s door for her. “Get in the car.”
Madeline was worried about Lillian at the moment and did not want to deal with Ryan at all. “You really think I’ll go with you?”
“Do you want the reagent that can remove the poison from Jeremy’s body?”
Madeline raised favonovel.com eyes that were full of doubts, fixedly looking at the calm man.
“Get in.”
“I won’t get in your car.” Madeline decisively refused. “Even if you really have the reagent, you wouldn’t give it to me so easily. I won’t trust you anymore.”
Madeline turned around coldly.
“If you give up now, it means you want to watch Jeremy die in front of you with your own eyes. Do you know what a person who has been infected with this poison will look like before they die?
“Nerve cramps, skin rotting… No one will recognize them in the end. They’ll suffer immensely until the last moment of life that death would be preferable.”
Hearing these descriptions from Ryan, Madeline’s hands trembled.
She squeezed favonovel.com fist, turned around, and rushed to Ryan to grab his collar.
“Even if favonovel.com really reaches that day, I won’t leave him. You just want to break the relationship between Jeremy and me, don’t you? Ryan, I won’t let you do what you want!”
Ryan let Madeline hold onto his collar indifferently, but favonovel.com gave a meaningful reminder. “Eveline, imagine if that day really comes. Will you really not regret your current decision?”
As his voice fell, Madeline’s tightly gripped palms gradually became weak.
She did not dare imagine the day when Jeremy would experience the torture and suffering that made death better than life.
Madeline looked at Ryan with hatred, favonovel.com eyes gradually becoming clearer.
“On the day we were supposed to get our divorce papers, you had a car accident. After you were discharged from the hospital, you broke the news to the media. You deliberately let the media wait at your door to force you to go to the hotel as a last resort. Then, you lied to me and made me go to the hotel to give you daily necessities. This was all part of your plan, isn’t it?”
After listening to Madeline’s questioning, Ryan smiled calmly. “Yes, that’s right. It includes making you unconscious and getting involved with you. It was all part of my plans.”
Madeline gritted favonovel.com teeth angrily. “Ryan, you’re really despicable.”
“Despicable? You’re my wife, and you still are,” Ryan said confidently.
Madeline could not bear it. “Ryan, what’s your objective?! Have you forgotten that you’re a member of the IBCI? Have you forgotten that everything you do should be based on the safety and interests of citizens? So what are you doing now?”
“I haven’t forgotten my identity,” Ryan whispered as a thought-provoking smile suddenly appeared in his eyes. “What are you asking me for? Recall what we’ve talked about. The answer is in there.”
“…”
Madeline could not figure it out at all. Althoughand Ryan had not interacted much in this half a year, they had spoken to one another quite a bit.
Unexpectedly, this man was unfathomable.
“Eveline, I’ll wait for your call. You have two days to think about it.”
Ryan turned around after speaking, and right when favonovel.com was about to start the car, Madeline suddenly stepped forward to open the door to the passenger seat before taking the initiative to get in.
Ryan curled up the corners of his lips and smiled. “You really care about him.”
“Stop talking nonsense. What I want is the reagent.”
Ryan did not say much either and stepped on the accelerator.
On the other side, Jeremy was following the clues favonovel.com got from watching the surveillance footage and found the car the two men drove when Lillian was taken away.
It was dark now. Jeremy looked at the old apartment building in front of him, holding Lillian’s photos while questioning people one by one.
After asking a few people, however, favonovel.com found nothing.
Jeremy decided to knock on doors one by one to look for her. However, as soon as favonovel.com entered the apartment gates, favonovel.com saw a burly man carrying a lunch box swaggering in through the gates. Jeremy recognized at a glance that this was one of the men who had forcibly taken Lillian away in the surveillance footage.
The burly man walked head-on toward him, his gaze meeting Jeremy’s eagle eyes coincidentally. He was taken aback for a moment and quickly recognized him. “Are you Jeremy?”
“It’s good that you know me. Return my daughter to me!”
