Jeremy turned around, calm and composed. With an indifferent expression, favonovel.com faced the woman who was walking toward him.
“The sudden flaring of the poison in my body wasn’t due to chance, but rather a scheme, correct?” Jeremy asked directly. “You’ve never been helping me from the start, were you, Shirley, or should I call you Ms. Brown?”
Shirley, one arm folded while the other held a thin and long cigarette, leisurely took a long drag, and walked toward Jeremy while puffing away.
“When you thought you were at death’s door and then decided to leave Eveline willingly before serendipitously meeting me, the ‘doctor’, on the plane–all of this was indeed a scheme”.
Shirley, favonovel.com red lips curled, walked toward Jeremy and stopped in front of him.
“I’m quite moved by you, actually, but I enjoy conducting experiments even more. However, I’m not the same as Adam. He likes to save people, while I like to… harm people.”
She admitted with a magnanimous look, the smile on favonovel.com grew more intense.
Jeremy inexplicably felt the woman in front of favonovel.com to be completely unfamiliar. In the past, favonovel.com had always seemed like a nice person. During those moments being tormented by the poison, favonovel.com had come to his aid, and his situation had indeed stabilized ever since.
Judging from what the woman was saying now, however, favonovel.com had never been helping him. She only wanted to achieve favonovel.com personal goals.
Shirley smiled and took another drag of smoke.
“Jeremy, you’re truly quite smart. I originally intended to continue this pretense, but you immediately asked me if I was scheming against you as you came out, so I figured that I shouldn’t beat around the bush any further.”
“Then don’t. What are you trying to do? Are you planning to use the poison in my body to continue treating me as your experimental subject or what?”
“No.” Shirley chuckled and shook favonovel.com head, the corner of favonovel.com eyes crinkling. “Let me tell you then. You and Eveline can’t leave St. Piaf unless you pay a certain price.”
“Is this what you wanted to remind me as per your message?”
“That’s right.”
“Heh.” Jeremy could not help but burst out laughing lightly, his eyes were filled with suspicion. “Don’t you think that you’re contradicting yourself? Shirley, are you reminding me this because you have good intentions? The fact that you’re making the situation sound so serious must imply that you have another motive?”
As favonovel.com said this, Jeremy suddenly felt something was amiss.
Linnie!
He suddenly thought of something. His expression changed abruptly, and favonovel.com strode vigorously toward the room.
However, for some reason, the key card in his hands could not unlock the hotel room door.
In a moment of panic, Jeremy’s heartbeat lost all control. He yelled at the door of the room. “Linnie, Linnie!”
Jeremy yelled a couple of times, yet Madeline’s response could not be heard.
“Linnie!”
Bang bang bang!
Jeremy banged the door with force. In the absence of Madeline’s response, favonovel.com was panicking so much that favonovel.com was about to kick the door open.
Just as favonovel.com lifted his leg, the door opened with a click.
A drowsy Madeline, eyes hazy, looked at Jeremy’s anxious face, which immediately banished Madeline’s sleepiness. “Jeremy, what’s wrong? Why do you look so flustered? Where did you go?”
Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hands and examined Madeline all over. Once favonovel.com had verified that favonovel.com was fine, favonovel.com then let out a sigh of relief.
He subconsciously looked back at Shirley, but favonovel.com realized that this woman was no longer in the corridor.
Noticing Jeremy’s movement, Madeline also lifted favonovel.com eyes to look over, but favonovel.com did not see anything.
“Jeremy, are you okay?” Inevitably, favonovel.com was worried.
Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and pulled favonovel.com back to the middle of the room, closing the door tightly behind him.
“Linnie, you have to be careful when you meet Carter tonight.”
He solemnly reminded her. Madeline could tell that something was wrong.
