Chapter 1114
‘Are you just an illusion that I conjured?
‘No, you can’t be. You must be around here.’
Madeline felt anxious. She looked around in hopes of finding Jeremy.
He looked so real just now, but now it was as if he had vanished and disappeared into thin air.
‘Jeremy.’
Madeline continued walking in confusion. When she walked past the staircase, a familiar hand reached out and grabbed her thin arm.
‘Jeremy!’
Madeline felt her heart stop for a second. Before she could see clearly, Jeremy pulled her into the staircase.
The man’s tall body towered over hers while his amber eyes were staring into Madeline’s confused and delighted ones under the dim lighting.
Madeline widened her eyes and lifted her hand to caress the face that was fairer than before.
“Jeremy, is that really you?”
She ran her fingers across his face shakily.
Before Jeremy could answer, she leaped into his arms and held his waist tightly.
“Jeremy, you’re still alive! This is great!
“I missed you, Jeremy. I missed you so much…”
Madeline poured out all of her longing and passion in her mind from these six months as she held him tighter and tighter.
She was so scared that she might be hallucinating again. She was scared that he would disappear from her sight, so she needed to hold him close and not let him disappear from her world again.
Even though she did not know why his appearance had changed so much, the feeling and the warmth of this hug told her that this was the man she loved the most.
