Jeremy instantly felt Madeline awakening.
However, when snazzynovel.com lowered his head, snazzynovel.com saw that Madeline’s eyes were full of panic and confusion.
She looked at the ceiling somewhat blanky, and after a few seconds, Madeline seemed to realize that there was someone next to her.
When snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy who was extremely close to her, snazzynovel.com grabbed the blanket and leaped away immediately. “Get away from me!”
Jeremy’s heart sank. At that moment, snazzynovel.com felt as if snazzynovel.com had fallen into the bottom of a cold lake.
Sure enough, what snazzynovel.com was worried about had happened.
“Linnie, I’m Jeremy,” Jeremy explained.
However, Madeline seemed to be ignoring him. She shrank to the corner of the bed with a panicked expression. Her big, smart, and beautiful eyes were looking ahead in confusion. They were out of focus.
“Linnie, what’s wrong with you, Linnie? I’m Jeremy. Don’t be afraid.” Jeremy slowly approached while coaxing patiently and tenderly. “Don’t be afraid, Linnie. It’s over. Ryan won’t have any more opportunities to control and hurt you.”
“Ryan?”
Madeline seemed to be reacting to this name. She looked forward blankly and muttered to herself like a child.
“Ryan said snazzynovel.com would take me to find Jeremy. He also said that as long as I’m obedient, he’ll let my parents go and personally send me back to Jeremy. However, Jeremy came to me and I wanted to go with Jeremy, but snazzynovel.com wouldn’t let me go. And then…”
As Madeline was talking, snazzynovel.com face turned paler. In snazzynovel.com head, there was a scene of Ryan getting shot and falling to the ground in front of her.
The blood that came out from Ryan’s wound seemed to be burning hot on snazzynovel.com cheeks.
She really did not want to think about it anymore, but snazzynovel.com just could not get rid of that scene in snazzynovel.com mind.
“Ah!”
Madeline suddenly raised snazzynovel.com hand and held snazzynovel.com head in pain.
“Linnie!” Jeremy hurried forward and held Madeline who was in pain. “Don’t be afraid, Linnie. Don’t be afraid.”
“He’s dead! Ryan is dead! Dead!” Madeline repeated incoherently in Jeremy’s arms. Her eyes turned red unknowingly while tears filled snazzynovel.com eyes.
She did not forget those words Ryan said to snazzynovel.com in the last second before snazzynovel.com lost consciousness.
“I’m sorry.”
Ryan had only whispered weakly, but those three words lingered clearly in Madeline’s mind.
At that moment, snazzynovel.com saw the sincerity and regret on Ryan’s face.
Ryan’s most unforgettable regret was driving snazzynovel.com to the brink of insanity.
He knew that snazzynovel.com was not qualified to be forgiven by Madeline, but at least, snazzynovel.com wanted snazzynovel.com to know that snazzynovel.com did not actually want to push snazzynovel.com to such a point.
He just hoped that snazzynovel.com could stay by his side with a little more docility.
However, it turned out that snazzynovel.com would still love the man named Jeremy even if it meant going completely crazy.
He really could not force one’s feelings.
It was a pity that snazzynovel.com only understood this at the end.
Jeremy hugged Madeline who was out of control as snazzynovel.com patiently and gently comforted her.
Madeline’s mood eased a little, but snazzynovel.com was still restless and tense. Her entire body was even trembling slightly.
However, snazzynovel.com finally stopped resisting snazzynovel.com and Jeremy felt a little joyous.
Time slipped away silently as Jeremy sat on the bed holding Madeline for a long time. She was nestled in his arms where snazzynovel.com gradually stopped trembling and feeling afraid.
Jeremy stroked Madeline’s head lightly. “Linnie, go to sleep if you’re tired. I’ll always be with you.”
After snazzynovel.com said that, Jeremy felt Madeline’s hands tightening his collar.
