Chapter 1346
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
She was a little skeptical but did not hesitate nor delay things before decisively removing the gauze that had been stained with blood.
After seeing the bloody wound, Madeline was taken aback.
âYouâre lying to me. I didnât cause this.â Madeline stared at Ryan in dissatisfaction. âYouâre despicable.
You lied to me and told me that youâll take me to find Jeremy, and now youâre lying to me again by saying it was me who pushed and hurt you.â
Ryan chuckled nonchalantly when he heard Madeline reprimanding him. âYes, I was lying to you. So what are you going to do to me?â
Madeline pursed her lips while looking at Ryan with contempt in her eyes.
âI wonât do anything to you. I just want you to let my parents go and stop targeting Jeremy.â
Ryan felt conflicted for a while after listening to Madelineâs request.
Her parents were already safe and so was Jeremy.
She obviously knew these, but now, she seemed to have lost her memories again. She had no idea about it.
She really was not right in the head.
Ryan could not help but knit his eyebrows together when he thought about this.
When he ran into her again half a year ago, she was sharp and confident. Plus, she exuded an invisible charm that attracted him unknowingly.
She had been so tough and unyielding all this time.
However, in the end, he was the one who forced her to be like this.
Ryan was pondering silently when he suddenly felt a cool tingling sensation from his shoulder.
He looked over when he came back to his senses. He saw Madeline bending slightly while holding an alcohol swab in her hand to carefully treat his wound.
This behavior surprised Ryan. He never thought that Madeline would actually help him at this time.
He stared at Madeline blankly. He used to fire a bullet into this womanâs thin body in order to stop her from going back to Jeremy.
He gave her so many bloody crises, but at such a moment, she chose to help him.
Ryan could not believe it. His heart seemed to be shocked by something and he felt extremely conflicted.
âEveline.â
He opened his mouth to call her name. His thoughts and eyes looked a little confused.
âIf you remember everything, would you still treat me like you are now?â he asked softly, but it was as if Madeline was ignoring him. She was only focused on cleaning his wound seriously.
She was like a demented fool, but she seemed to know how to treat simple wounds.
Before long, Madeline finished bandaging the wound for Ryan.
Although she did not adopt any professional methods, Ryan knew that Madeline really wanted to help him.
âRyan, what do I have to do so that youâll let my parents go and stop targeting Jeremy?â Madeline asked solemnly.
Ryan looked at Madelineâs eyes that were no longer piercing, and somehow, there was an indescribable dull pain in his heart.
He watched Madelineâs elegant and feminine face quietly. Then, complex emotions of loneliness and expectations gradually surfaced in those gray eyes.
âEveline,â he called out to her softly. The strong possessiveness and aggressiveness in his eyes had long since disappeared.
âEveline, are you willing to agree to anything as long as I let your parents go and stop targeting Jeremy?â
Madeline seemed to hesitate for two seconds. âI can promise you anything you want, but I wonât stay with you. The person I love is Jeremy.â
A trace of loneliness flashed across Ryanâs eyes, but he no longer had the reluctant anger from before.
He looked at Madeline and smiled. âI know. I know that you love Jeremy. Iâll no longer force you to stay with me. I only have one request now.â
