Chapter 1309
Hearing the voice she had been dreaming about for every moment of every day, Madeline looked up to stare at the phone in Ryan’s hand. Her eyes widened in shock as she tried to look for the source of Jeremy’s voice.
However, Ryan had turned the phone and Madeline was met with the back of the phone.
‘Is it you, Jeremy?
‘Is this your voice?’
Madeline got up to her feet and walked over to check, but Ryan grabbed her by the wrist before she could make it any further. He pulled her toward him.
He turned Madeline around so that her back was against his chest. Then, he grabbed her jaw to force her to stare into the phone screen.
Madeline struggled frightfully to escape Ryan’s grasp, but Jeremy’s features suddenly entered her line of vision.
“Jeremy…”
“Linnie!” Jeremy’s voice echoed clearly into Madeline’s ears.
Madeline stared at the frantic and unsettled man. She felt the corners of her eyes beginning to grow hot.
She knew why Jeremy seemed moments away from going mad. She tried to struggle out of Ryan’s grasp so that Jeremy would not need to see her being tormented by Ryan.
Ryan saw through Madeline’s plan and did not give her the chance to do so. He tightened his grip on Madeline’s jaw and forced her to stare straight at the camera.
The sight tore Jeremy’s heart into two.
He was even more shocked to see that Madeline’s long locks had been cut short.
Her originally flushed and fair complexion was now hollow and colorlessly pale to it at all.
