Chapter 1376
Madeline could not wrap her head around the new information. Plus, she also remembered the woman who picked up Adam’s phone just now.
“Adam, do you have a girlfriend now?” Madeline probed.
After she said that, Madeline saw Adam slightly taken aback. On the other hand, Jeremy also looked at Adam curiously.
“Linnie, why did you ask that?”
“It’s nothing. When I called Adam just now, a woman picked up his phone and I think I know that voice from somewhere,” Madeline explained with a smile. She looked extremely calm right now. “Adam, is that woman someone we know?”
“No, she’s not.” Adam quickly denied it but then, he admitted a little, “However, she’s indeed my girlfriend.”
He said and looked at the time. “I have to go now. My girlfriend is timid and feels unsafe being home alone at night.”
Adam said before turning around to leave.
After Madeline walked him to the door, she quickly went back to the room.
She took a towel to wipe the sweat away from Jeremy’s forehead. She had some fears in her beautiful eyes.
“Jeremy, what happened between you and Adam? Why do you trust him so much?”
“It seemed that he was forced to stay with Ryan due to some unknown reasons,” explained Jeremy. Then, he held Madeline’s hand as he looked passionately and gently into her eyes. “Actually, he has never hurt us. Back when you were carrying Jack and was locked up while you were sick, the medicine he asked Daniel to give you was not part of an experiment.”
Madeline widened her beautiful eyes and was even more confused. “What do you mean?”
“He was sincerely trying to help us this entire time. However, for some unknown reasons, he had to pretend himself lest others knew his true intention,” Jeremy explained.
Madeline fell into deep thought. She recalled that Adam had not hurt her once when she was imprisoned and hurt by Ryan.
Plus, Adam’s reaction just now was so strange.
He looked like he was dodging the question.
Jeremy asked in concern when he saw Madeline lost in thought, “Linnie, what are you thinking about?”
Madeline did not hide from Jeremy and said, “Jeremy, do you know whose voice I heard on the phone just now?”
“Who?”
“Cathy,” Madeline answered definitively, “I’m sure that it was Cathy’s voice. Jeremy, Cathy might still be alive. However, I can’t imagine what kind of relationship Cathy would have with Adam.”
However, Jeremy suddenly remembered something. “Could it be because of that time…”
