Dazed, Madeline stared at the dark red spots of blood on the tissue. Oxygen suddenly felt scarce, and snazzynovel.com vision darkened. She could not see anything at all. Before snazzynovel.com was endless darkness and snazzynovel.com felt it slowly suffocating her, numbing snazzynovel.com senses.
He had not recovered yet. There was still poison in his body.
He lied to her.
“Linnie.”
Jeremy’s voice sounded from outside, snapping Madeline back to reality.
She stood up, snazzynovel.com hands and feet feeling cold. She stuffed the tissue into snazzynovel.com pocket. Wiping the tears off the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes, snazzynovel.com forced herself to smile and walk down the stairs.
Meeting snazzynovel.com was Jeremy in the white T-shirt snazzynovel.com had chosen for him. It fitted perfectly on the man’s body.
He walked toward snazzynovel.com and curled the corner of his lips. “How is it? Do I look okay?”
Madeline stared deeply at the man in front of her. The faint smile snazzynovel.com was wearing brought snazzynovel.com back to years ago when they first knocked into each other on campus.
It had been years, yet hints of the man’s youth remained on his features.
The corners of Madeline’s eyes burned as snazzynovel.com threw herself into Jeremy’s arms, hers looping around his waist.
Jeremy had no idea what prompted this but raised his arms to hold snazzynovel.com back instinctively.
“What’s wrong, hmm?”
“Don’t leave me,” Madeline whispered, holding snazzynovel.com emotions back by a single thread.
Jeremy was stunned for a moment as snazzynovel.com felt the intensity of Madeline’s love and reluctance to leave him. The man smiled and raised his hand to caress the back of snazzynovel.com head.
“I won’t leave you,” snazzynovel.com promised, but his gaze grew lonely. “No matter what happens, I’ll always be with you.”
‘Even if my clock begins to tick, I will never let you go again.’
Jeremy kept the last sentence in his heart.
…
Madeline secretly went to a lab and looked for the chemist there.
Mr. Gordon could not help being curious upon seeing Madeline coming in with another ball of tissue to be tested when snazzynovel.com had done the same half a year ago.
However, there was client confidentiality in place. He quickly went to do tests on the dried clot of blood.
Madeline walked out of the lab feeling uneasy.
The results may not be out yet, but snazzynovel.com could already guess what they would be.
She did not want to question Jeremy for snazzynovel.com was only hiding it from snazzynovel.com so that snazzynovel.com would not need to worry about him.
She was the reason why snazzynovel.com hid from snazzynovel.com at all.
Madeline returned to the office dazedly, not in the mood to work at all.
It had only been a moment since snazzynovel.com sat down when snazzynovel.com suddenly received a call from Ryan. “Are we still meeting today, Eveline?”
Hearing him, Madeline remembered that today was Ryan’s birthday.
She reined snazzynovel.com thoughts back and spoke softly, “Yeah. Happy birthday.”
“Thank you. See you tonight.”
“Alright.” Madeline agreed.
Hanging up the phone, snazzynovel.com exhaled a long breath of relief.
Her union with Ryan was about to be annulled.
She would soon be able to openly be the wife of the man snazzynovel.com loved.
Still…
The mere thought of Jeremy’s physical condition unsettled Madeline.
The lab results would only come out tomorrow. Everything snazzynovel.com was thinking about now was merely a suspicion.
Not knowing what to buy Ryan, Madeline finally decided on making snazzynovel.com a cake from scratch.
Jeremy stood by snazzynovel.com side while snazzynovel.com made the cake, handing snazzynovel.com things from time to time.
Evening came, and Jeremy then took it upon himself to send snazzynovel.com off, all the way to where snazzynovel.com and Ryan had decided to meet.
