After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com hung up the phone.
When Madeline called snazzynovel.com again, his phone was switched off.
Madeline started sobbing and sniffling when snazzynovel.com saw the darkened screen.
She felt a thorn stabbing deep inside snazzynovel.com heart. She could not see it, but it was making snazzynovel.com bleed profusely.
Ryan held Madeline gently. He did not know what snazzynovel.com could say to make snazzynovel.com feel better. Perhaps nothing snazzynovel.com could say would ever comfort the hurt in snazzynovel.com heart.
Madeline cried for a long while, but snazzynovel.com could not soothe the bone-piercing pain in snazzynovel.com heart no matter what.
She tried to control snazzynovel.com tears and emotions as snazzynovel.com removed herself from Ryan’s arms. “Rye, I know it’s not fair to do this to you, but I hope you can give me some time. I want to find him, and if he’s really incurable, then please let me spend the rest of his life with him.”
Ryan smiled softly and wiped away Madeline’s tears gently.
“Actually, the biggest reason I married you is to protect you,” snazzynovel.com said honestly, “I know who you truly love, so I won’t force you. Go and do what you want. Go to him.”
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com teary eyes. “Thank you, Rye.”
After snazzynovel.com thanked him, snazzynovel.com left hurriedly.
Madeline contacted a lot of people snazzynovel.com knew to ask them about Jeremy’s whereabouts. She also checked every flight but did not find anything.
She asked Ryan about Jeremy’s whereabouts, but Ryan only told snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy buying a flight ticket to another country. However, snazzynovel.com did not know where snazzynovel.com was going.
Madeline stood at Glendale International Airport, looking at the passing crowd. Even though snazzynovel.com was standing among a lot of people, snazzynovel.com still felt extremely lonely.
She tried to call him, but snazzynovel.com could not get through to snazzynovel.com no matter what. Even if the call went through, snazzynovel.com would not pick up.
Madeline sent several messages to Jeremy, but snazzynovel.com did not know if snazzynovel.com read them. The only thing snazzynovel.com knew was every time snazzynovel.com typed a message, snazzynovel.com would feel as if snazzynovel.com had already lost him.
Madeline had been looking for snazzynovel.com for a few days now. However, snazzynovel.com still did not get any information about him.
The more time had passed, the more anxious Madeline was. She started having difficulties sleeping and even snazzynovel.com aromatherapy kits were not helping.
She was scared that snazzynovel.com would not have the chance to see this man again.
She was also scared that snazzynovel.com would only be alive in snazzynovel.com memories from now on.
After searching for snazzynovel.com again for another day, Madeline went to Whitman Manor. Karen was holding the four-month-old baby, trying to put snazzynovel.com to sleep.
When snazzynovel.com saw Madeline and snazzynovel.com exhausted face, Karen felt snazzynovel.com heart breaking into pieces. “Are you busy recently? You look so tired these few days,” Karen asked in concern, then snazzynovel.com started complaining about Jeremy.
“I wonder where Jeremy went after what happened to Lana? Is snazzynovel.com going to abandon his family? Is snazzynovel.com waiting for that succubus to get out of prison?”
Madeline wanted to explain after listening to what Karen said, but snazzynovel.com did not know how to tell her.
She could not let Karen be sad with her.
She could not tell Karen that Jeremy would die soon.
Madeline went back to the room snazzynovel.com had initially shared with Jeremy. She wanted to look for the wedding ring snazzynovel.com threw out and the letters they exchanged when they were young, but snazzynovel.com could not find them no matter what.
There was only a wedding photo that had been ripped into pieces on the bed.
She picked the pieces up and tried to piece them back together, but snazzynovel.com could not do it.
Looking at the handsome and radiant Jeremy in the photo, snazzynovel.com held the pieces and started sobbing.
“Jeremy, let me stay with you, okay? Don’t leave on your own. Let me stay with you at least…”
…
Jeremy had not left Glendale. The flight ticket was fake as well.
He knew Ryan would not be able to keep his secret for long, so snazzynovel.com decided to lie to snazzynovel.com too.
He gave Ryan an illusion so that Madeline would think snazzynovel.com had left Glendale and snazzynovel.com would never be able to find snazzynovel.com again.
