Chapter 1241

Ryan picked up a seemingly heavy handbag and quickly walked toward the river beside the road.

When he reached the bridge, he threw the handbag down.

It did not take long for the bag to sink. Then, the ripples that were scattered across the water’s surface gradually became still again.

Ryan returned to the car and looked at Madeline who was still asleep before stepping on the accelerator.

As they were approaching their place, Madeline slowly woke up.

She was leaning on the seat as if she was still sleepy. Then, she looked calmly at the man who was driving.

“Ryan, what are you doing so much for?” She parted her lips lightly and asked in a faint voice, “You’re always so confident that you’ll make me fall in love with you but I seriously cannot agree with what you’re doing.”

Ryan parked the car in the garage before saying calmly, “It’s the same concept as women loving beauty and everyone loving money. What do you think a man wants the most?”

He asked while looking into Madeline’s eyes with interest.

Ryan seemed to have something to say, but he suddenly received a call.

Madeline vaguely heard the accent of the man on the phone. It sounded like the man named Thomas.

While talking, Ryan picked up the only box of anti-toxoid reagents that Adam gave him and walked into the room.

Madeline’s eyes were fixed on the reagent. What she saw was not just the reagent. It was also hope and Jeremy’s future.

She followed Ryan into the house, but the man in front of him suddenly turned around. “I want to drink coffee. Can you fix me a cup?”

Madeline could imagine that Ryan was only saying this to stop her from following him.

“Okay, I’ll make it for you now.” Madeline complied and walked to the kitchen.

After Ryan saw Madeline heading over to make the coffee obediently, he went upstairs with confidence.

However, after Ryan turned around, Madeline also turned around and followed quietly behind him. She did not make the coffee at all.

She followed Ryan to the study. Then, she heard Ryan talking on the phone while turning on the computer.

He looked at the computer screen and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “The supply is sufficient, and delivery will be possible in three days. Okay, happy to work with you.”

After Ryan said this, he hung up the phone.

Madeline saw Ryan putting down his phone before walking to the wall with a painting with the reagent in his hand.

After he rolled up the painting, Madeline saw a safe behind it.

He entered the passcode, and after the safe was opened, he put the reagents inside.

Madeline turned around without thinking after seeing that Ryan was about to come out of the study.

After a while, Madeline heard Ryan coming downstairs. She was standing beside the coffee machine like she had been there the entire time. Then, she picked up the freshly brewed coffee and passed it to Ryan.

Ryan was in a good mood. He tasted Madeline’s coffee and smiled brightly. “I know you really want the reagent. I’m a man of my promise. I’ll give it to you the moment we have a verdict.”

“If Jeremy isn’t sentenced to death, will you refuse to give it to me?” Madeline asked directly.

Ryan took a sip of his coffee and hesitated for two seconds. Soon after, he said firmly, “He’ll be sentenced to death, and when that happens, you can go to the trial.”

“Okay.”

Ryan nodded with a smile. “I’ll be busy these two days, so I can’t take care of you. You can go to see your children. I won’t have anything to say about that.”

He walked in front of Madeline, and his long fingers fell on her eyebrows. “It’ll be enough as long as you remember to go back to our home at night.”

He said meaningfully when suddenly, he bowed his head to move his thin lips closer to Madeline’s.

Of course, Madeline would not accept Ryan’s kiss. Coincidentally, when she was about to avoid him, Ryan’s phone rang again.
