Chapter 1459

After she heard that, Madeline retracted her outstretched foot back.

‘Jeremy?

‘Is that man watching a video related to Jeremy?

‘Why is he watching that?’

Madeline was curious, and an uneasy feeling surged from the bottom of her heart.

When she was trying to figure out why this man was watching a video on Jeremy, she noticed that the man had spotted her.

His narrow black eyes stared straight at her like the moon in the night. They looked so cold yet so deep.

“Come and sit here.” The man parted his lips and invited her over.

Madeline wanted to understand more of what was going on, so she went over to sit down.

The maid who was serving the man poured Madeline a cup of tea and handed it to her politely with a smile.

Madeline held the teacup in her hands and felt the warmth spreading from her palms to her heart.

To be frank, she was pretty lucky. At least her life was saved.

As for Ryan…

Madeline’s eyes became bleak. At the end of the day, a life was lost in front of her and she could not be completely unmoved.

“Are you thinking about your dead friend?” The man’s charming voice fell lazily into her ears.

Madeline came back to her senses and lifted her head to look at the man who had seen through her.

“I don’t know your name yet. How should I call you?” Madeline changed the topic, but her tone was still weak.

The man took a sip of tea and parted his lips lazily. “You can call me Mr. Carter like they do.”

Madeline nodded and continued to thank him. “Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Carter. Thanks for asking someone to take care of me and treat my face.”

The man looked probingly at Madeline’s stunning eyes that looked like limpid autumn waters. Then, he moved his eyes away coldly. “Your face won’t be healed in just ten days or half a month. You have to be prepared to fight the long fight.”

He lowered his head to look at the video on the laptop as he said that to Madeline.

Madeline clenched her fists as she had already expected this outcome.

Back then, she had a bloody scar on her face because Meredith slashed her. She used so much time before it recovered, let alone the injuries she was facing now.

However, she had a huge urge to go home in her heart. She wanted to see Jeremy, her children, and her family.

“Who is this woman?”

While she was spacing out, Madeline heard the man asking curiously.

She lifted her head and saw the man pointing at the laptop with his long, thin fingers while asking his entourage.

His entourage lowered his hand and looked at it. Then, he replied respectfully, “Mr. Carter, that’s Jeremy’s wife, Eveline Montgomery.”

“Eveline Montgomery?”

The man shifted his gaze to Madeline after he heard that.

“You told me your name’s Eveline Montgomery that day.”

“…”

When she was met with the man’s cold and suspicious gaze, Madeline felt nervous for no reason.

Initially, she did not want to hide her identity, but when she realized that the man was investigating Jeremy, she needed to.

When she was about to find a reason to overcome this, she heard the man’s entourage saying, “Oh, her name is Eveline Montgomery too? It must be a coincidence.”

“Coincidence?”

“Yeah, Mr. Carter. I just got news this morning that Jeremy sent his children to school with his wife, Eveline. There are some photos here too.”

That person said and pulled up the photos from the album on the laptop.
