Chapter 1300

Dripping wet, Madeline sat on the bench in the corridor and waited for the results on Eloise and Sean’s condition.

Ryan walked over and placed a jacket over her shoulders. Feeling the man’s warmth and taking in the scent on Ryan’s body, Madeline shivered subconsciously.

Ryan was surprised and satisfied with Madeline’s reaction.

She was starting to be wary of him. Her fear would aid in his plan.

“Your parents will be fine. You, however, will be down with a cold and fever if you keep sitting here,”

Ryan chided her gently.

“Will they really be fine?” Madeline asked in disbelief with a tone of caution.

Ryan pursed his lips into a slight smile. “They will be as long as you listen. I promise.”

Madeline clenched her fists and unfurled them.

“Go back with me.” Ryan’s tone was much gentler now.

Knowing that declining was not an option, she glanced at the emergency room and stood up.

Ryan wrapped an arm intimately around Madeline’s shoulders.

There was no doubt to the passersby that they were a couple.

However, no one seemed to realize that Madeline’s eyes were filled with fear and unease.

Once they returned, Madeline felt unsettled the moment she entered the room.

Looking around the room, she had no idea where Ryan placed the camera and how many of them there were.

Madeline dared not imagine how her every move and every word were under Ryan’s surveillance.

She did not dare change her clothes, opting instead to stand drenched and despondent by herself in the corner.

The world around her turned black. The only shred of light and warmth she had was the wedding ring on her fourth finger.

“Jeremy.”

‘I know that you’ll think of a foolproof plan to bring Ryan to justice.

‘I also know that you’ll definitely bring me home.’

“I’ll wait for you, Jeremy.”

Madeline looked at her wedding ring, the only shred of hope and light she had left.

Click.

The door to the room suddenly opened and Ryan walked in.

Seeing Madeline standing in the corner having not bathed or changed yet, Ryan frowned before it dawned on him.

He slowly walked toward the showcase in the room and picked the mini camera out of a soft toy. Then, he crushed the camera in front of Madeline.

“Will you change your clothes now?” He saw through Madeline’s concern at that moment. “I’m not going to watch you change. I don’t have such a kink.”

He slowly walked toward Madeline.

Shrinking into the corner, Madeline leaned backward with water dripping from her pale face.

Ryan stood before her and reached out to hold her chin. “You’ll be mine sooner or later, Eveline. You don’t have to worry about me invading your privacy since you have none as far as I’m concerned.”

He leaned over for a kiss, but Madeline pushed him away. Picking up the clothes from the bed, she ran into the bathroom.

She took a quick shower and changed, then wrapped herself tightly with the towel before she walked out.

Madeline thought that Ryan would have left already, so she was surprised to see the man sitting by the bed, waiting for her when she returned.

Her footsteps halted and she subconsciously turned to run away from the man.

Ryan looked up at Madeline and patted the space beside him. “Come sit.”

Tightening the towel around her, Madeline slowly walked toward Ryan and took a seat.

Ryan suddenly reached out for a pair of scissors by his side and stretched his hand out to her.

Frightened, Madeline moved away out of instinct. “What more do you want?”
