Chapter 1312
Jeremy watched Adam ready the syringe and inject the substance into Madeline’s bloodstream.
The next few seconds felt like an entire century to him.
Madeline remained unconscious the entire time.
Unable to do anything but watch, Jeremy’s consciousness began to fade. He felt the unforgettable stab of pain spreading through his senses once again.
“Will she be in life-threatening danger?” Ryan asked plainly.
Jeremy was waiting for such a reply as well. He watched Adam who was squatting by the floor. He started to keep his medical kit before he started to speak, “Her major arteries are fine. Or I wouldn’t be able to do anything at all otherwise.”
Ryan then turned the camera to himself.
“You heard him, didn’t you, Jeremy? Follow my demands earlier or you’ll never get to see Eveline again.”
Ryan then hung up the call.
Seeing the screen change, Jeremy’s mind immediately replayed the piece of information he had just hurriedly glimpsed of just now.
He turned around frantically without a moment’s hesitation.
…
Madeline slept the entire night away and by the time she woke up, she caught a warm ray of sunshine entering the corners of her eyes.
Blinking her eyes tiredly, she knew that she was still alive. Her mind felt heavy and her thoughts were haywire.
Madeline turned around to see Ryan standing by the bed. Instinctively, she shuddered as a cold feeling settled in her body.
Ryan scoffed at Madeline’s reaction. “You don’t even fear death, so why fear me?”
Madeline stared at Ryan blankly, her eyes filled with unease and fear.
