Chapter 1008

As a mad scientist, nothing brought Adam more joy than achieving the results he wanted.

However, the only place that could give him the tactical support he needed was the Stygian Johnson Gang.

Adam himself did not have the ability, wealth, or power.

Jeremy did not completely believe Adam’s proclamation, so he took his report and went to consult a professor he knew only to receive a similar reply.

The professor told him about the mutation in Jeremy’s blood and advised him to do a full-body check-

up so that the cause could be found.

However, knowing the cause, Jeremy also knew that treatment was close to impossible.

Thinking back to the two choices Adam gave him, Jeremy had already made his own decision.

He could very well hunt Adam down and kill him, but Madeline’s frantic words deterred him. “Jeremy, please! Come back to me, you don’t have to make another mistake!”

‘I won’t make this mistake again, Linnie.’

Throwing the test results into the trash, Jeremy left the hospital.

A black Rolls-Royce stopped before him just as he made his way to the car park.

The window rolled down, revealing a kind face behind it.

“Can we have a word, Mr. Whitman?” asked the middle-aged man politely.

Jeremy looked at the man. “Aren’t you from M Country?”

“Quite the fine observation, Mr. Whitman. Can I have the pleasure of chatting with you in the car?” The man invited courteously again.

Jeremy rejected. “I’m sorry, I’m a little busy.”

“Please wait, Mr. Whitman,” the man called out and alighted the car, handing him a name card. “Please look at this, Mr. Whitman.”

While giving it a cold glance, Jeremy’s mind quickly supplied him with something at the sight of the four-letter contraction.

The middle-aged man smiled and invited him again. “Please get in the car, Mr. Whitman.”

Jeremy did not reject him this time.

…

Upstairs, Madeline stayed dazedly in the room until she received a call from Ryan. Walking downstairs, she found the wedding ring on the coffee table.

Madeline was stunned for a while before she went to take it.

The person’s warmth had vanished, leaving the ring cold to the touch. The cool metal spread from her fingertip to the depths of her heart.

He had taken his ring off.

He had truly decided to let go this time.

Madeline’s heartstrings tugged at the thought as her eyes fell on the letter ‘L’ that Jeremy had engraved inside the ring through the blur of her tears.

He had engraved her name on the wedding ring all those years ago.

Jeremy.

Taking the ring, Madeline walked out to find Ryan already waiting for her.

Sitting in his car, Madeline gripped Jeremy’s ring in her hand.

“Is something frustrating you, Eveline? Did Lana come and bother you again?”

“She didn’t.” Madeline snapped back to reality. Staring at Ryan’s side profile while deep in thought, she asked, “You said I saved you before, Mr. Jones? I do believe that I’ve met you somewhere before now that I think about it. When did I save you?”

At that, Ryan gave a bashful smile. “It’s a little embarrassing.”

“Embarrassing?” Madeline was even more curious. “What happened?”
