Chapter 1319
However, when Madeline was hugged by Jeremy, she reacted fiercely and pushed him away. She hurriedly retracted her legs back to the bed and pulled up the blanket to wrap it around herself.
Madeline’s eyes were full of trepidation as she held her arms tightly, muttering to herself, “Don’t come here. I’ll do everything you say, I’ll listen to you. Don’t force me…”
Jeremy stared at Madeline with a frightened expression. As he listened to what she was saying at the moment, he gradually understood why Madeline was having such a reaction.
It was because Ryan had tortured her so much that she became like this.
Jeremy clenched his fists. A storm raged in his deep eyes. Soon, the darkness and coldness in his eyes dissipated for Madeline’s sake, leaving only gentleness and warmth that were like the spring breeze.
“Linnie,” Jeremy gently called out to Madeline before raising his palm to caress her head, but Madeline shrank her neck and was obviously avoiding his touch.
“Linnie, I’m Jeremy. Look at me, I’m your Jeremy.” Jeremy patiently and tenderly coaxed her while slowly bringing his face closer to hers.
Madeline lifted her blank and dispirited charming eyes to look at Jeremy seriously.
“Jeremy?”
Jeremy nodded with a warm smile. “Linnie, it’s me.”
After Jeremy answered her affirmatively, Madeline furrowed her eyebrows. She looked at Jeremy for a while but later shook her head.
“You’re lying. Jeremy hasn’t come yet. He told me he’ll come for me and I’m waiting for him,” Madeline spoke seriously and looked away from Jeremy’s face.
Jeremy felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured into his heart. He looked at Madeline who was silently ignoring him and left the room while feeling choked.
He took out the card that Adam put in his pocket and immediately called him. “Can you come over now? Eveline is up, but she’s behaving strangely.”
Adam seemed to have expected Jeremy to call him. “I’ll be there soon.”
“Are you almost here? How do you know where I live?”
“Ryan has a clear grasp of your movements in Y Country.” As soon as Adam finished saying this, Jeremy heard the doorbell of the apartment ringing. “I’m here. Open the door.”
