Madeline watched Jeremy pick up a call, and it was followed by the sound of phone notifications going off all around them.Madeline’s phone also received a push notification.Jeremy’s voice sounded unrushed as he spoke, “The latest trending story is out. If you’re not completely blind, then read it.”He glared sharply at the reporter on the ground.“Read it, then get up and apologize to my wife.”Wife.He so boldly referred to Madeline as his wife in front of everyone.Everyone there clicked into the trending story to read the newest push notification.It was an official statement from the international criminal investigation organization, IBCI.With a few curt sentences, the statement clarified that both Ryan and Jeremy were members of the IBCI. It also stressed that Ryan had merely gotten married to Madeline because it was part of his mission from his superior.Ryan was merely carrying out his mission. He was not Madeline’s husband, and the relationship between them was no

Madeline had changed her mind at the last minute and did not go to the lab, so the chemist typed the results into a comprehensible report instead and sent it over to her in the form of an email.Yet with Jeremy by her side, she did not dare open it in front of him.If he did not want her to know that he had not fully recovered, then she would not cut through his facade.“Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home, Linnie? Why did you follow me out?” Jeremy’s curious and soft tone drifted over. Madeline kept her phone and looked up to meet the man’s heartbreaking gaze. “Didn’t we agree to face everything together in the future? I won’t let you stand in the spotlight by yourself for everyone to scrutinize.”Jeremy gave an understanding smile and caressed the top of Madeline’s head. “Linnie.”“Did you have the IBCI send out the official statement?” It was Madeline’s turn to ask questions. Jeremy nodded. “I told you I’d deal with this. I won’t let anyone slander you.”At that momen

She made an excuse to go to the toilet when in truth, she was hiding in a secluded corner where she tapped open the email. The first half of the report was filled with numbers that Madeline did not understand, so she scrolled all the way down where the chemist’s conclusion was. It said that the person the blood sample belonged to had been infected with several unknown diseases. It was an accumulation of these diseases that resulted in a change of hair color, the color of their irises, and the sound of their voice. Hemodialysis showed that the patient was not in any life-threatening danger. However, there was always the possibility of the disease mutating which would result in the patient’s life being slowly consumed to the point where they would die from a lack of treatment. Madeline’s temples began to throb as she read. ‘So you haven’t fully recovered, after all, Jeremy.’Her heart was aching, and she forced her tears back. Thinking about the poison in Jeremy’s body and

He asked back with a meaningful tone.Madeline did not want to waste her time analyzing the man, so she walked around him. As she brushed past his shoulder, Ryan reached out to grab her arm. Madeline struggled, but Ryan’s strength overpowered hers. As Madeline fought against his hold on her, Ryan grabbed her shoulder and pressed her against the wall in front. “What do you want?!” Madeline glared at Ryan. “I don’t want to hurt you,” Ryan replied, his gaze locking on a struggling Madeline with a mysterious look in his eyes. He suddenly asked, “Do you want Jeremy to live, Eveline?” Madeline’s expression shifted. “What are you trying to say?” Ryan was calm. “You should know by now that Jeremy hasn’t fully recovered yet.” “...” The certainty in Ryan’s voice chilled Madeline. He had to be following her or he could not be so certain. “There’s a very high chance that the poison in his body will mutate. He may be fine now, but he’s a ticking time bomb.” Madeline suddenly

Madeline met his furious gaze fearlessly. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t hurt me? Then let me hit you!” “...” Ryan was speechless. “I’m not Jeremy Whitman, Eveline. Reject me today and you’re throwing the only way to treat Jeremy out the window. Think carefully before you decide.” Ryan let go and turned around. Walking past Madeline, he advised, “You have three days to look for me or you’ll never find Adam Brown. Jeremy has two years left.” Chupse. Madeline felt something stab through her heart. Two years. Madeline did not dare entertain the idea that she would lose Jeremy after two years. Just as Madeline was about to lose herself in her heartache, she heard Jeremy’s voice sounding from the corner of the elevator. “How dare you come and look for Linnie?” “Eveline is legally still my wife as far as our marriage certificate is concerned. What’s wrong with looking for her?” Ryan responded in seriousness for he knew that it would trigger Jeremy. Instead of falling int

This was a small heart folded from red paper.It seemed to be nothing special.However, for this little girl to want to give this little red heart to him, she probably had her own thoughts about it.Jeremy thought silently, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the little girl standing by the door frame with only her small head revealed. Her lively eyes blinked, looking as if she was waiting for Jeremy to discover something.When Jeremy turned over the little heart, he saw a few words that had been not so neatly written on the paper.[Daddy, Lillian will be good.]Seeing this sentence, Jeremy felt that he really deserved to die.His little princess thought that her father ignored her because she was not being good, so she said she would be good and hoped that Jeremy could accept her.A feeling of pain silently engulfed Jeremy's heart. He looked at the red heart in his palm, then at the child who was smiling innocently. He then gently put the heart on the coffee table.After he p

Jackson hurried in, saw the torn paper in Lillian's hand, and gradually understood something.However, the kindergarten teacher was still criticizing Lillian. "Lillian, they just wanted to play with you. They didn’t mean to ruin your painting. How can you bully your classmates?"The boy cried harder. "Teacher, Lillian is so fierce! I just wanted to be friends with her.""Do you hear them? Lillian, they didn’t have bad intentions." The kindergarten teacher continued to comfort the little boy.When Jackson saw Lillian staring at the aggrieved boy, he felt that things were definitely not that simple."Teacher, my sister wouldn’t casually bully others. Have you checked the surveillance to see what happened?"The kindergarten teacher knew that Jackson and Lillian were brother and sister, but she did not expect Jackson, a child, to say such things.She froze for a moment before saying solemnly, "Lillian's brother, I’m a teacher. I will judge who is right and who is wrong. Regardless,

"Lillian!" Fabian dashed toward the car, but the car quickly drove away from him.Fabian looked around and decisively stopped a man who was starting up a scooter.He put a safety helmet on Jackson's head, then picked him up onto the scooter. "Hold on!"Jackson nodded firmly and hugged Fabian's waist tightly.Fabian looked at the car that was dashing away with sharp eyes, then quickly chased after.The other party was clearly prepared, however, and outdistanced Fabian who was tailing close behind the car.Fabian had to stop the scooter. He looked at the busy fork in the road and punched the seat with a fist. "Sh*t!"Madeline was done with work early that day and wanted to pick up the two children from school before Jeremy came to pick Madeline up.After arriving at the kindergarten, however, she was told that Jackson and Lillian had already been picked up.Madeline was worried it was a person with ulterior motives who picked up the siblings when she suddenly received a call fro
