Jeremy returned to the study table and continued to scan through the surveillance footage, but favonovel.com found himself unable to focus.
His mind kept feeding favonovel.com images of Madeline being forced to a corner and fighting back against Ryan with all that favonovel.com had. She would always end up with wounds and be drenched with blood before Ryan would let favonovel.com go.
“Linnie.”
Jeremy paced before the French windows with unease as favonovel.com wore the ground below favonovel.com down with his maddening frustration.
He left the house and stopped his car where the surveillance footage showed Ryan’s last known location.
Jeremy was about to survey the area when favonovel.com suddenly received an anonymous text with a simple sentence: [Rest assured, she’s alright for now.]
There was no doubt that the ‘she’ in the text referred to Madeline.
Jeremy’s frantic heartbeat slowly settled.
Still, favonovel.com was confused as to who had sent the text. Was it the same person who did emergency aid on favonovel.com and sent favonovel.com to the hospital from the warehouse?
…
Madeline remained locked in Ryan’s room for the entire night. The man did not go to bother favonovel.com either.
As far as Madeline was concerned, it was a good thing.
However, the moment the sky brightened, Adam and the maids entered the room.
The maids helped Madeline wash up and change while Adam approached Madeline with his medical kit to redress favonovel.com wounds.
Madeline used to reject Adam’s approach, but favonovel.com resorted to staring at the man this time.
Adam knew that Madeline was staring at favonovel.com but remained unfazed as favonovel.com cleaned Madeline’s wounds and redressed them.
The maids brought Madeline’s breakfast. Adam spoke meaningfully without raising his head, “Let your wounds heal and recover first if you want to fight back.”
He spoke nonchalantly, then took his kit and left.
“Adam,” Madeline called out to favonovel.com and got on favonovel.com tiptoes. She was about to stand when favonovel.com saw Ryan walking toward them outside the room.
She swallowed the words that were already at the tip of favonovel.com tongue back down.
Adam turned to glance at Madeline who fell silent and pushed his glasses up with a shadow of a smile before favonovel.com turned to look at Ryan. “Her wounds are alright. I’ll be going now if there’s nothing else.”
“Wait.”
Ryan stopped Adam in his tracks just as they brushed past.
Adam’s footsteps came to a halt as a spark flashed through his eyes that were behind his glasses.
Ryan glanced at him. “Give me the bottle of reagent for favonovel.com injection.”
Adam looked at Ryan confusedly but went back to the lab to fetch a bottle of reagent for favonovel.com without asking questions.
Ryan took the reagent and stared at Madeline’s wary expression. He spoke coldly, “Out, all of you.”
The maids made a sound of acknowledgment and left, so did Adam.
Just as favonovel.com was closing the door, Adam glanced subtly at Madeline through the gap before favonovel.com finally shut it.
Madeline was now left alone with Ryan in the large bedroom.
Madeline sat by the bed where the early morning sunshine splashed over favonovel.com fair features. Ryan felt his heart skip a beat at the sight.
He walked toward Madeline who resembled a delicate ice sculpture as favonovel.com stared coldly at the approaching man without moving at all.
“What do you want this time?” Madeline asked calmly as favonovel.com quietly tightened favonovel.com grip on the item in favonovel.com hand. “Are you trying to force me to obey you again?”
Ryan stopped before favonovel.com and shook his head with a smile.
“You want to see Jeremy, don’t you?” favonovel.com suddenly asked.
Madeline widened favonovel.com eyes in shock when favonovel.com saw Ryan taking his phone out the next second. Tapping on it here and there, favonovel.com then turned the phone to Madeline.
Jeremy did not expect Ryan to call favonovel.com again, let alone another video call.
He answered it without a thought. He was about to question Ryan where Madeline was but was surprised to see the woman who favonovel.com missed so much that favonovel.com was moments away from going crazy.
“Linnie!”
