He took the hairdryer and helped Madeline dry favonovel.com hair.
While favonovel.com enjoyed being taken care of by Jeremy, Madeline started to reflect on the recent events, finding them a little bizarre.
She had been eating and drinking the same things as the Grays. If someone had deliberately laced favonovel.com food with a slow-acting poison, then who could it be? Further, how did this person come about the slow-acting poison?
Madeline pondered but quickly dismissed this thought.
At this point, favonovel.com still could not be completely sure what is happening to her, so favonovel.com should not freak herself out.
After favonovel.com hair was dried, Madelina and Jeremy decided to have a meal before they went to the airport.
The winter in St. Piaf was extremely cold. Even with their coats on, they still could not withstand the bone-chilling winds of winter.
Jeremy was tightly holding onto Madeline’s hand, so favonovel.com could plainly feel favonovel.com shivering hands.
“Linnie, you should wait at the convenience store in front. I’ll tell you when I’ve gotten a ride,” suggested Jeremy. He is unwilling to let Madeline continue being out in the cold street with him. He did not know why it was especially difficult to hail a taxi today.
Madeline was freezing. She could even feel herself shivering from the cold.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the convenience shop.” Madeline did not want Jeremy to worry about her, so favonovel.com turned around and walked to the convenience store that was within 20 meters away.
She certainly felt much warmer once favonovel.com was inside. However, favonovel.com felt as if the bone-chilling cold was still seeping through favonovel.com skin, so Madeline bought a cup of hot milk tea and sat down on the chair at the side to rest.
Despite the shop’s heater and the hot beverage to warm favonovel.com hands and body, Madeline felt even colder now.
She lifted favonovel.com hand to touch favonovel.com forehead and noticed that there was a layer of cold sweat.
Madeline was immediately stunned. She remembered the doctor’s words, which subsequently reminded favonovel.com of Jeremy’s concerns.
‘Could it really be that, without me realizing it, someone had poisoned me with an unknown component?’
After Madeline figured that this truly might be the case, favonovel.com did not continue sitting in the convenience store and hastily walked toward the exit.
However, just as the automatic doors opened, a woman ran in hurriedly, colliding with Madeline just as favonovel.com was about to leave.
The impact of the collision was so forceful that Madeline reflexively reached out favonovel.com hand to hold the rack beside her, almost falling.
“I’m sorry, Miss. I’m in a hurry,” the woman said apologetically.
This voice sounded slightly familiar to Madeline. As favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com heard the woman’s surprised voice at the same time.
“Mrs. Whitman? It’s you!”
“Shirley.” In a glance, Madeline recognized the alluring woman in front of her–Adam’s sister, Shirley.
Madeline had heard from Jeremy that Shirley was also in St. Piaf. However, favonovel.com did not expect to run into favonovel.com in such a coincidence.
“Mrs. Whitman, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling ill?” Shirley asked as favonovel.com stepped forward and held Madeline’s hand in concern.
Even though Madeline was feeling unwell, favonovel.com remembered Adam’s advice, reminding them to stay as far away from Shirley as possible.
Although Adam did not clarify his reasons, favonovel.com had been his savior on multiple occasions, so Madeline was willing to trust favonovel.com unconditionally.
Madeline supported favonovel.com body and gently retracted favonovel.com hand. “Thank you for your concern. It’s just a cold. My husband is still waiting for me outside, so I should go now.”
Madeline remained calm and composed as favonovel.com quickly walked out of the door.
Before favonovel.com could go far, however, favonovel.com could hear the sudden chill in Shirley’s voice coming from behind her.
“Since you’re dying to get away from me, I’m guessing you already know something, Mrs. Whitman.”
Madeline slowed down. Just as favonovel.com was about to turn around to look, Shirley had already come up to her.
