Chapter 1648
Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore. However, she did not want Jeremy to know that the person standing at the door was Carter.
She took a step toward Carter and closed the door.
“What’s your purpose in doing this?”
“Today at 7 p.m., I’ll be waiting in the study of Gray Manor. I’ll tell you what my purpose is then.” Carter gave her this answer and opened his palm once again. He picked up the anti-toxoid test reagent in his hand and shook it in front of Madeline.
“I think you don’t have a reason to reject, right? Once that poison flares up again, it’ll be 100 times worse than what you imagine.”
Carter’s words undoubtedly exposed the fact that he knew about Jeremy’s situation well.
Madeline had no choice and said, “Okay, tonight at 7 p.m. I’ll go meet you.”
“I hope you can avoid Jeremy as best as you can. Don’t let him follow you again. This will be the best for you and him.” Carter seemed to be reminding her out of goodwill.
Madeline nodded mechanically and agreed. “Okay, I won’t let my husband follow me.”
“See you tonight, then.” Carter curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction before handing the anti-toxoid test reagent in his hand to Madeline.
After Madeline got the anti-toxoid test reagent, she finally felt her heart feeling more at ease.
However, when she was about to turn around to walk into the room, she heard Carter say leisurely from behind her, “You didn’t lose the anti-toxoid test reagent. I took it out of your pocket. Maybe you think you’re in control of everything, but you might not know that I’m in control of more things than you are.”
“…”
A split second after she heard this, Madeline felt a chill rising from the bottom of her feet.
She turned around to take a look and saw that Carter had already left.
Madeline told herself not to think too much about it. She immediately went back to Jeremy and skillfully attached the anti-toxoid test reagent to the tiny syringe.
