Following his comment, Madeline fixed favonovel.com gaze upon the item in Jeremy’s hands.
A thin layer of mist was shrouded in the moonlight, quietly shining on Madeline’s face that had suddenly become much more gentle.
At that moment, favonovel.com was like a very quiet doll. She was quiet and obedient without moving an inch. Her eyes reflected the colorful rays.
“Jeremy.” Madeline raised favonovel.com hand and took away the colorful but faded shell from Jeremy’s hand.
Her childhood memories were flashing in favonovel.com mind vividly.
“This is the shell that I gave to Jeremy,” Madeline said softly, favonovel.com emotions not as agitated as previously. “Why is it with you? So it’s true that you guys captured Jeremy, right? You stole it from him!”
Jeremy held Madeline’s cold hands. “Linnie, this is the gift you gave to me as a token of love. I never gave it to anyone, and no one ever took it away from me, silly. Listen to me, I’m your Jez.”
Madeline’s eyes gleamed as favonovel.com focused favonovel.com gaze on Jeremy. She appeared to be in deep thought, and the more favonovel.com thought about it, the more favonovel.com frowned.
“Jeremy? You’re Jeremy? You’re really Jeremy?!” favonovel.com muttered, raising favonovel.com hand to touch Jeremy’s face.
The familiar, warm feeling traveled from favonovel.com fingertips all the way to favonovel.com heart. Madeline’s eyes looked much softer now, but at the same time, they still looked troubled.
“Why didn’t I manage to recognize you? How is it possible that I can’t even recognize you?”
Madeline was finding it hard to believe. At that point, favonovel.com was sure that the man before favonovel.com was the man favonovel.com loved most.
Jeremy felt even more heartbroken when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com blaming herself.
“It’s not your fault, Linnie. You’re just sick. When you’ve recovered, you’ll no longer have problems recognizing me.”
“I’m sick?” Madeline asked, feeling puzzled. It made favonovel.com feel even worse. “What sort of illness will make me even fail to recognize you? Hiss…” She hit herself in the temple with a closed fist over and over. “What’s wrong with me? It’s so tormenting. Jeremy, it’s too hard for me…”
Jeremy was worried and hugged Madeline. “Don’t be like that, Linnie. Don’t harm yourself.”
After feeling Jeremy’s concern for her, Madeline suddenly got anxious and struggled to free herself from his arms. She grabbed his elbows with both favonovel.com hands and reminded favonovel.com in an anxious tone. “Jeremy, quick, take me away! Ryan is a crazy guy. He’ll really do anything!
“Mom, Dad… He took control over my parents. Dad was shot by his men.”
“Everything’s fine, Linnie. Mom and Dad are fine.” Jeremy quickly comforted favonovel.com when favonovel.com realized Madeline was starting to lose control over favonovel.com emotions again.
“No, something is bound to happen. We have to leave, fast!” Feeling insecure, Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s hand. “Jeremy, let’s leave, quick!”
“Calm down, Linnie, calm down!” Jeremy yanked favonovel.com to his front again.
“Linnie, Mom and Dad are safe now. Don’t be like that. Stop letting your thoughts run wild, Linnie.”
He held onto favonovel.com shoulders and embraced favonovel.com fragile body that was being blown by the night breeze. He choked as his eyes reddened.
“It’s me who came too late. It’s me who didn’t protect you well and made you suffer so much, Linnie.”
He touched favonovel.com head, trying to calm favonovel.com and stop favonovel.com from breaking down.
However, Madeline remained agitated as if favonovel.com did not hear what Jeremy was saying. She tried favonovel.com best to break free from his arms and insisted on bringing favonovel.com away.
“Stop saying all these, Jeremy. Let’s go! If Ryan sees you, he’ll kill you!”
“Linnie.”
“Are you leaving or not?! You said you’ll listen to whatever I say, but why aren’t you going when I ask you to go?!”
Madeline suddenly lost control of favonovel.com emotions as favonovel.com roared, favonovel.com red, teary eyes wide open.
“Fine! You’re not leaving right?! I’ll leave if you don’t want to!”
Exasperated, favonovel.com shoved Jeremy’s hand and spun around. She was not even sure why favonovel.com would behave so aggressively.
However, as soon as favonovel.com turned around, Madeline stumbled and fell on favonovel.com side as if favonovel.com energy was being drained.
“Linnie!” Jeremy sprinted ahead and grabbed hold of Madeline who had suddenly lost consciousness. “Linnie, Linnie!”
He called out to favonovel.com anxiously, but Madeline was already unconscious.
Jeremy wrapped his arms around Madeline’s tiny waist and carried favonovel.com before rushing back into the house.
Feeling Madeline’s icy cold body, Jeremy held favonovel.com dearly and tried to transfer the warmth from his body to her.
That night, favonovel.com dared not go to sleep as favonovel.com was scared that Madeline might have another nightmare. He was afraid favonovel.com might think of favonovel.com as a bad guy and secretly run away.
