Chapter 1288
“Hmm? He’s still alive after losing so much blood? What an extraordinary body he has there.” Ryan’s words dripped with sarcasm.
Madeline’s breathing grew erratic.
Jeremy lost a lot of blood?
How could that be?
“Now that I think about it, he’s still fine even after being tormented by the poison for so long. Huh. Jeremy Whitman sure is determined.” Ryan’s voice drifted over. “But so what if he’s durable and strong-willed? As long as Eveline Montgomery is by my side, he will never live his life in peace.”
Ryan Jones!
Madeline clenched her jaw as her detest for this horrible and scheming man grew.
Still, just what happened to Jeremy? Why did he lose so much blood?
Madeline was worried. Coincidentally, she heard Ryan asking the other person on the line, “Which hospital is Jeremy at? Kindred? Alright.”
Then, Madeline heard Ryan’s footsteps approaching the door.
She did not linger any longer and walked toward the staircase where she saw Sean.
“Dad.” Madeline intentionally raised her voice so that Ryan would assume that she was about to take the stairs down.
“Are you up already, Eveline? Won’t you rest in bed for a little longer?”
Madeline gave Ryan a good look from the corner of her eyes as he walked over. “It got a little stuffy lying in bed these days. I was hoping to take a walk for some fresh air.”
“You want to leave the house?” Ryan slowly approached.
Madeline turned back in mock surprise, pretending to only have realized Ryan’s presence. “Yeah. I want to take a walk outside, but I didn’t know if you’d let me leave or not.”
“Why not? Why would Mr. Jones stop you from taking a walk outside? He’s just worried about you.” Not knowing what kind of person Ryan was, Sean defended the man.
