Madeline felt like snazzynovel.com was dreaming while caught in a drowsy haze. Someone kept calling out to snazzynovel.com in snazzynovel.com dream.
“Eveline, Eveline, wake up.”
The gentle yet worried voice of a man rang out in snazzynovel.com ears continuously.
Eveline frowned and gradually opened snazzynovel.com eyes. Ryan’s face slowly came into view amidst snazzynovel.com blurred vision.
“Eveline, are you awake?” snazzynovel.com asked.
“Ryan?”
“It’s me,” Ryan said as snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com in worry. “Are you alright?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Alright?
Clarity returned to snazzynovel.com thoughts at once. She recalled what happened before snazzynovel.com fainted just now. She then realized that snazzynovel.com was lying on the bed.
She sat up at once, the covers sliding down from snazzynovel.com shoulders. She realized in shock that snazzynovel.com clothes had been removed. She was only wearing a camisole.
This entire situation made snazzynovel.com feel oddly weirded out.
She pulled up the covers and wrapped them around herself immediately.
“How did this happen?” snazzynovel.com asked in confusion. She had no idea what just happened. Upon catching sight of the clothes on the floor, snazzynovel.com immediately bent down to pick them up.
Ryan turned over at once. “Wear your clothes first,” snazzynovel.com told her.
Madeline did not say anything. She put on snazzynovel.com clothes hurriedly after Ryan limped away.
She could not remember what happened in between at all.
She only remembered bringing daily necessities over for Ryan. After snazzynovel.com entered the room, snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com fast asleep and proceeded to leave. However, snazzynovel.com lost consciousness just as snazzynovel.com was about to leave.
She put on snazzynovel.com clothes and looked at the bed. A sense of heaviness weighed on snazzynovel.com mind.
A thought arose in snazzynovel.com mind, but snazzynovel.com did not dare to dwell on it.
Ryan was seated on the sofa in the living room. He tried to stand up when snazzynovel.com saw that Madeline was dressed, but snazzynovel.com could not do so due to his leg injury.
“Sit down,” Madeline said. She looked at snazzynovel.com and cut straight to the point, asking, “Ryan, what happened? Why was I on the bed?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Ryan looked at snazzynovel.com serious expression, his eyes glinting apologetically. “Eveline, I think something happened between us,” snazzynovel.com said.
“…”
Ryan’s words came upon snazzynovel.com like a bucket of cold water. The revelation shocked snazzynovel.com from head to toe.
“What… What did you say?” snazzynovel.com asked in disbelief.
Ryan frowned and continued speaking, “Before you came over, I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was you, but I didn’t see anyone after opening the door. I went back in and fell asleep drowsily. After I woke up, you were beside me and…”
He paused. The look in his eyes turned heavier. “And we weren’t dressed properly,” snazzynovel.com added.
“…”
A chilling sensation crept up Madeline’s spine.
Just as snazzynovel.com was about to deny the entire situation, snazzynovel.com phone rang.
That customized ringtone belonged to Jeremy’s number.
She picked up Jeremy’s phone call at once without hesitation. His husky, low voice resonated from the phone. “Why didn’t you pick up my call just now?” snazzynovel.com asked in a gentle voice.
Just now?
Jeremy must have looked for snazzynovel.com while snazzynovel.com was unconscious just now.
She did not want to lie to Jeremy, but snazzynovel.com had no other choice right now.
“I was busy just now, so I didn’t notice your call. Jeremy, did anything come up?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Jeremy did not suspect snazzynovel.com at all. He replied in a gentle voice, “I’m starting to miss you. When are you coming back?”
A burst of sweetness erupted in Madeline’s heart. “I’m coming back soon,” snazzynovel.com told him. Upon the thought of snazzynovel.com waiting for snazzynovel.com to return home, a sense of guilt arose in snazzynovel.com heart. “Jeremy, I miss you a lot too,” snazzynovel.com said.
Madeline heard his low chuckle from the other end of the phone. Jeremy seemed to be in a rather good mood.
However, the current situation made snazzynovel.com feel terrible.
She hung up the call. Looking at Ryan, who was seated on the sofa with an annoyed look on his face, snazzynovel.com felt upset as well.
“I’m going back. Rest well,” snazzynovel.com told him.
Madeline then grabbed snazzynovel.com handbag and turned around to leave.
