Shirley had said, “Eveline, let me ask you a question. What’s the most terrifying and mortifying experience that you’re most reluctant to relive in your life?”
Madeline knew better than anyone the experience favonovel.com was most reluctant to recall. It was the time when favonovel.com had been in so much pain that favonovel.com had wanted to die. To her, it had been a time of misery. A living hell.
Madeline then suddenly realized what might happen when the poison reached the final stage that Shirley mentioned.
‘No.
‘Don’t jump to conclusions.’
Madeline’s mind wondered, then favonovel.com gently shook favonovel.com head, collecting favonovel.com thoughts.
Her heart was racing. Once favonovel.com breathing difficulties had alleviated, favonovel.com hailed a car by the roadside, considering returning to the hospital.
After getting into the car, however, Madeline’s imagination ran wild against favonovel.com volition again.
Initially, favonovel.com had been unafraid of the physical pain and torment. She had thought favonovel.com could endure them because the pain favonovel.com had experienced previously was far worse than it was now.
She had made it through those experiences, so why should favonovel.com fear?
However, Madeline had a feeling that the final stage Shirley mentioned would not torment Madeline physically, but rather destroy favonovel.com mentally.
Screech!
The car braked suddenly as Madeline was still deep in thought.
Her body reflexively launched forward, quickly grabbing onto the handle.
“What happened?”
Curious, Madeline lifted favonovel.com gaze and looked.
Without waiting for the driver’s answer, Madeline immediately understood what had happened.
She saw that Carter and his car were in front of the taxi; it was clear that Carter had forced the taxi to stop.
“I’m sorry, that’s my friend. I’ll get out now.” Madeline immediately paid the driver and got out.
Upon seeing this, the driver knew something was amiss, so favonovel.com reversed the car and left.
White snow gusted furtively into the air as biting squalls passed by on this winter day.
Madeline calmly looked at Carter who wore a black coat. His mannerism did not seem to be that of the cultured and refined noble that favonovel.com had before. Now, his presence seemed to radiate a dark and chilling aura as dangerous as the piercing cold wind.
“I don’t want to cause you trouble,” Carter said, breaking the silence.
Madeline listened as the cold wind whistled past favonovel.com ear. She lifted favonovel.com hand to wrap favonovel.com scarf around favonovel.com neck.
“Why did you stop me then, Mr. Gray?” Madeline asked calmly.
Carter walked in front of Madeline. “Where’s Shirley?”
Madeline could not help but feel that something was odd upon hearing this.
She had thought that Carter intercepted favonovel.com here because favonovel.com had been tailing her, but that did not seem to be the case. He might have merely been waiting for an opportunity on this road.
“Are you concerned about her, or are you worried that your plan would be affected if something happens to your pawn?” Madeline asked and chuckled softly.
Carter seemed to frown, then opened his mouth to speak in a cold, but not quite angry, tone. “Eveline, I’m quite fond of you, truly. I think you’re very special, but I hope that you won’t use it in a different place.”
