Ada, noticing that Madeline was gazing at her strangely, drew her hand back abruptly.
“Eveline, don’t you f*cking bother me any further! Otherwise, I’ll have the bodyguards throw you out!”
Ada warned Madeline impatiently and turned around quickly.
Afraid that she would be caught up again by Madeline, Ada intentionally quickened her pace.
Madeline quietly stood in the same spot. Her forehead creased slightly as she watched the back of Ada’s figure as Ada retreated. “She seems very pleased by this fire.”
As for Jeremy, he too had an inkling from what Ada had unintentionally blurted out earlier.
“Linnie, let me first accompany you to see Adam and Cathy for one last time.”
Jeremy took Madeline’s hand. As for the cause of the fire, he had already deduced some theories.
Through Jeremy’s connections in Glendale, they finally located where Adam and Cathy were placed.
It was the coldest place in the hospital, and also a place where no one wished to visit.
The door opened, and a chill rushed past them. Coupled with the cool spring weather, the cold was bone-chilling.
Madeline and Jeremy, however, were unbothered by this. They walked over to the two beds covered with white cloths. The mere sight of this dampened their spirits.
Madeline reached out with her hand, intending to remove the white cloth, but Jeremy gently held her hand.
“Linnie, perhaps we shouldn’t look,” Jeremy said, holding her back. He did this for no other reason than his concern for Madeline, who might get frightened.
However, Madeline was not afraid; instead, she was unfazed.
“Cathy and Adam were our good friends. While they were alive, they were beautiful and handsome people. Even if their attractive appearances are gone, they’ll always be beautiful in my heart.”
