Chapter 1279
Madeline was not surprised to find that Ryan had an ulterior motive and faced it calmly. “What are my options?”
Ryan smiled and replied.
Madeline’s grip on her phone tightened when she heard the two options Ryan gave.
He was not giving her an option at all.
Hanging up the phone, Madeline slowly lowered her hand and stared in the direction where Jeremy was currently rushing toward her. The light in her eyes dimmed as she looked down.
“Why did you suddenly run out? You haven’t finished your food yet.” Eloise suddenly ran up to Madeline and stared at her seriously.
Eloise may not recognize Madeline, but it was evident that she still cared for this daughter of hers.
Madeline felt something pinch her heart. She took Eloise’s hand and smiled. “Let’s go eat.”
“Yeah.” Eloise beamed and held Madeline’s hand.
Madeline stared longingly into the distance before she finally turned around…
Jeremy was driving as fast as possible as he closed the distance between him and the villa. The shine in his eyes brightened with every moment.
His racing heart told him that his Linnie was in the villa in front.
They were moments away from arriving when Jeremy suddenly felt his heartbeat going erratic and his breathing becoming hitched.
The familiar tortuous feeling hit again.
He wanted to keep going, but the onslaught of pain that only seemed to grow forced him to bring the car to a stop.
The remnants of poison within him began a new round of torture.
“Are you alright, Jeremy?” The people with him began to feel worried as Jeremy’s complexion was downright horrifying.
