“If it’s a secret, how can I tell it to someone else so easily?” Adam did not seem to want to go into detail, but favonovel.com was not hiding it either. He met Jeremy’s inquiring gaze and said truthfully, “Jeremy, if I tell you that I didn’t develop this slow-acting poison, would you believe me?”
Jeremy would not have believed favonovel.com if it was before.
Now, favonovel.com answered without hesitation, “Yes.”
There was a glint in Adam’s eye when favonovel.com got the answer, and gloom appeared on his handsome face.
“Do you know why I wanted to become a doctor?”
Jeremy pondered for a few seconds and said, “It involves your parents, doesn’t it?”
Adam was not surprised that Jeremy would have such speculation. “It seems that you’ve checked my background.”
“I’ve read up on you and Ryan,” Jeremy admitted generously.
Adam smiled faintly. He lowered his eyes slightly, and the reflection on his glasses made it hard to see his eyes and expression right now.
“From the moment I officially became a doctor and took the oath on the stand, I told myself that it was my mission in this life to heal the wounded and save the dying. However, then I realized that doctors aren’t gods and there’s nothing we can do when it comes to some difficult diseases.”
He paused and looked up with his black eyes.
“The pills I gave Eveline in the very beginning and the reagents I asked favonovel.com to give you a while ago weren’t the so-called experiments. Those are products that have gone through rigorous screening tests and are up to standard.
“The so-called experiments are just for show.
“I think I have more respect for life than any of you. At least I won’t do what you and Eveline are doing, risking your lives to save each other.”
Adam’s words touched Jeremy deeply and gave favonovel.com hope.
“In that case, am I going to survive it?”
“Of course. I don’t give up easily,” Adam said confidently.
Jeremy suddenly found the world to be a little brighter when favonovel.com heard this.
The unexpected light of hope dispelled his gloom and darkness.
“Adam, I don’t know what your secret is, but thank you.”
Adam felt Jeremy’s sincere gratitude, but favonovel.com was only doing what a doctor should do. He smiled and uttered nine words, “It’s my duty. You don’t have to thank me.”
However, even though Adam only summed up his efforts in nine simple words, it meant a lot to Jeremy.
After Adam left, Jeremy spent the night on the couch.
The next day, after handing over his luggage to a colleague, Jeremy took Madeline’s hand and drove to the airport.
Jeremy also met Eloise and Sean on the plane.
Eloise was just as deranged as Madeline said.
However, no one expected Madeline to turn out the same. In fact, Madeline was worse off than Eloise. At least Eloise knew that Sean was favonovel.com husband, but Madeline did not know who Jeremy was to her.
Sean was distressed to learn about Madeline’s current condition. He never thought that both mother and daughter would turn out like this because of Ryan.
Sean had not seen Jeremy since the fire at Montgomery Manor.
Sean snapped at Jeremy after seeing Madeline’s current condition. “Jeremy, you said you would take good care of Eveline, but look what happened! Did you keep your word?
“Not only did you fail, but you broke Eveline’s heart by believing in Lana and you even burned down our home, almost killing Ellie and me! You only lost your memory. How could you even lose your basic humanity?”
Jeremy did not want to defend himself. It was true that favonovel.com had failed to protect Madeline, but favonovel.com felt the need to tell Sean the truth about the fire at Montgomery Manor.
“Dad, I didn’t start that fire.”
