Chapter 1258
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âWhere are you taking me?â Madeline stopped. She really did not want to continue walking with him.
Ryan looked back at her. âDo you have another choice apart from following me?â
âRyan, if you want to escape, Iâll only become your burden if you take me with you.â
Ryan smiled upon hearing this and walked to Madeline slowly. âDo you think Iâll let you go if you say that? I might have nothing now, but I still have you.â
ââ¦â
âSo what if Jeremy wins? Itâll be more painful for him to lose you than to lose all his fame, fortune, and status.â Ryan had already seen everything through.
It was absolutely impossible for Jeremy to give up this woman for the sake of fame, wealth, and family.
âHe only pretended to regret loving Madeline so much before, but it was all just an act.
âHeh.
âI really didnât expect that theyâd be so talented in acting.â
Ryan stared at Madeline for a while before continuing his walk.
Madeline had no other choice. Ryan had also thrown her phone into the sea because he did not want Jeremy to find her location by any means.
Then, it started to rain. Since the rain was accompanied by the sea breeze, it was freezing.
Madeline glanced at the wound on her arm. It had finally started to heal, but now, it would definitely become inflamed after being exposed to the rain.
As she was thinking about it, Ryan turned his head suddenly. Then, he took off his coat and put it over Madelineâs body.
Madeline was disgusted and wanted to take it off, but she heard Ryan saying lightly, âIf you donât want the wound to become inflamed and worsen again, itâs best not to take it off.â
Madeline put down her raised hand. She did not want Jeremy to worry about her again the next time she saw him.
The heavy rain soon drenched her long hair that she was holding in her hand. Soon, the coldness gradually penetrated into her skin.
Madeline did not know how long she had been walking. Then, she saw lights in front of her.
There was a modern-looking villa not far away.
It was a villa in a deserted area where there were no signs of life.
Ryanâs footsteps obviously sped up by a lot. After seeing that Madeline was still moving slowly, he walked over and took her hand directly.
âWhat are you doing? I can walk by myself!â Madeline wanted to shake off Ryanâs hand that was holding her, but she could not match his strength.
Ryan forcibly pulled her to the door of the villa. After he entered the passcode, the door opened automatically.
When Madeline went in, she realized that this was where Ryan brought her to see Adam every time!
This was Adamâs secret laboratory!
No wonder Ryan would have a yacht prepared on an abandoned dock beforehand. It was what he used when he came here!
After Ryan went in, Adam came out.
He was still wearing his lab coat, looking polite and noble. However, to Madeline, Adam was not a good person.
âIâve seen all the videos on the internet. Theyâre all looking for you now,â Adam said to Ryan worriedly while raising his eyes to look at Madeline behind him.
âDoes she know the address of the base? Did she tell Jeremy?â
âIf Jeremy knew, he wouldâve found it a long time ago,â said Ryan calmly before taking Madeline into the living room. He brought a set of clean clothes for her to change into and threw it next to her. âGo and wash up.â
Madeline threw Ryanâs coat in front of him and stood aside like she did not see the clothes.
Ryan looked at Madeline who was ignoring him and strode to her. When Madeline was caught off guard, he violently tore off her top all of a sudden and threw her on the sofa.
Madeline tried to get up hurriedly after she was pushed down, but Ryan pressed his body down on her domineeringly.
âRyan, youâre crazy! Let go of me! Donât touch me!â
