Ryan noticed that Madeline was not satisfied but he was aware that she could not reject him.As long as she still loved Jeremy, she would accept his requests.Calmly, he ignited the car’s engine and did not list out his requirements even after a long while. He was busy admiring Madeline instead."You look stunning today. That emerald necklace makes your skin look even fairer," he complimented.Madeline did not know if Ryan had discovered anything as she turned to face out the window. "I don't need your compliment. You can just state out your requirements."Ryan looked at Madeline who had a stony look on her face. "This Thursday night, there's going to be a party. The organizer is Sir Calver’s family. You might not be familiar with him, but he used to be part of Interpol. Upon retirement, he received the title of Sir. He’s considered to be quite famous in Glendale. That day will be his 80th birthday."He paused and continued, "He has invited many higher-ups in Glendale. Of course,

Madeline did not wish for Jeremy to be upset again.Ryan glanced at Adam when he noticed Madeline unable to bring herself to comply with the requirement.Adam got Ryan's implicit message and strolled to the front of Madeline. "This half a month, there has been an improvement to Jeremy's condition, right?"Madeline's icy stare was fixed on Adam's face. "If the reagent is genuine, you'll know best about its outcome."Adam could make out that Madeline held a grudge against him, but he was not bothered at all. Instead, he wore a smile on his face."The reagent is genuine, of course. Besides, as long as you inject it at the given time frame, the poison in his body will slowly clear up. However…"Adam paused for a few seconds."However, I ought to tell you this. During the process of administering the anti-toxoid reagent, should there be any interruption or if the timing is messed up, it will end up having an adverse effect. Which means, if Jeremy does not inject the third dosage, the

Madeline did not expect the robber to act in that manner. The river was a broad one, but Madeline knew she should not think twice about it.Seeing her purse flowing along in the river, without thinking further, she jumped.The passersby who saw this scene were astonished and gathered around the bridge to observe."Is this woman out of her mind?""Does she have to take such drastic measures just for a purse?""Maybe she has lots of money in the purse!"The passersby who did not know the truth were all making wild guesses, but to Madeline, the purse contained an item that was way more important than anything else. It was the lifeline for the man she loved most in her life.After Madeline jumped into the river, she swam for some time before getting her hands on her purse.She strapped the purse around her back and revealed a smile.Soon enough, Madeline recomposed herself only to just realize she was in the middle of the river. Besides, she did not know how to swim to begin with!

"..."‘Feel like puking.'Ryan did not realize that was the impression Madeline currently had of him.All this while, his impression in everyone else’s eyes was an elegant rich man. Being seen as a disgusting man was never in consideration.Seeing Madeline turning around and about to leave, Ryan suddenly came forth. Once again, he blocked Madeline's pathway, and with much force, he pressed on her head to force a kiss on her."Don't make me look down on you, Ryan." This time, she did not evade nor struggle. She merely blurted out that line with much calm.Ryan's actions, to everyone's surprise, came to a halt."Ryan, so what if you have a speck of dirt on me? So what if you end up winning against Jeremy? You're not that great if you use a method that makes others unsatisfied with it."Madeline's speech made Ryan's pair of deep-set eyes gleam with dissatisfaction and unpleasantness.Madeline pushed him away when she noticed that Ryan was staring at her while motionless. She walk

Madeline was feeling uncomfortable, but at the same time, she could not express which part of her was feeling that way."Jeremy, I'm feeling dizzy." Madeline, feeling lethargic, grabbed Jeremy's hand. "Help me back to the room so I can get some rest."As she was speaking, she slowly faced some difficulty in breathing. The face before her slowly became blurry as well.The next second, she passed out."Linnie! Linnie!"Jeremy was devastated and carried Madeline who was unconscious."Linnie!"He carried her and rushed to the side of his car, feeling anxious.Jackson and Lillian heard the commotion and turned around to look.Karen came out of the house as well. She was shocked when she saw Jeremy being all anxious while carrying Madeline who was unconscious."Jeremy! What's wrong with Madeline?!""I don't know. I'm going to send her to the hospital." Jeremy's heartbeat was racing madly, but he was trying his best to calm down. "You and dad keep an eye on Lillian and Jack, especi

He glanced at the purse in his hand and started having some wild guesses running in his mind.'There must be something important in this purse. Or else, she would never have taken such drastic measures to jump into the river.’Jeremy thought to himself as his long fingers unzipped the purse.He wanted to know what was inside the purse that made Madeline put her life on the line.It was at that moment a nurse came anxiously running out from the emergency room.Jeremy discarded the idea of peeping into the purse and quickly halted the nurse. "How's my wife? Why is she bleeding so much?"The nurse was worried as well, but after noticing Jeremy was feeling the same way, she explained, "It seems something sharp has cut through your wife's left thigh, causing the severe bleeding."But her blood group is Rhesus negative, a rare type of blood group! Our hospital doesn't have this kind of blood in our blood bank. We have to go and get it from another hospital! With that being said, we ca

Jeremy looked down to see the small bottle of reagent and bent down to pick it up. The clear bottle was around the size of his thumb and was filled with a colorless and scentless liquid. There were no descriptions on the bottle either. He had no idea what it held, but he remembered the scenes of Madeline injecting something into him on two occasions when he was asleep.He turned to Madeline who was still unconscious. Confusion bled into his gentle gaze. ‘Is this what you’ve been injecting me with, Linnie?‘What is this? ‘Is it so important that you would jump into the river to retrieve it back?’Jeremy thought to himself but came up with nothing. However, he did not plan to ask Madeline.He was about to put the things back into the purse when Jeremy saw someone staring in from the hospital room window from the corners of his eyes. His gaze flicked up and the person turned to flee.Jeremy found the behavior weird. He got up and walked out of the hospital room, following

Madeline’s mind was somewhere else as well, so she changed the subject. “I’m a little hungry, Jeremy. Could you buy me something to eat?” “What do you want to eat?”“I’ll eat anything my husband buys for me.” Madeline’s eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled. Placing a kiss at the corner of her lips, Jeremy turned around to help Madeline sit properly on the bed before he left. Just as Jeremy left, Madeline pushed her exhausted and weak body up to reach for her bag by the side. Her memory seemed to have returned. Her left leg did indeed seem to have touched something when she was in the river. Now that she thought about it, it must have been a rock that gave her the gash. Madeline thought to herself as she opened her bag. However, after a round of rifling, all she found were her keys, wallet, and lipstick. The most important anti-toxoid test reagent bottle was gone! Madeline’s heart raced frantically. She searched again but came up empty-handed. “How could it be
