Chapter 1367

What did she tell him?

Madeline recalled what happened in the ICU just now.

Madeline showed a rare mischievous smile after spotting the curiosity in Jeremy’s charming eyes.

“Jeremy, are you dying to know what I said to Ryan?”

Jeremy nodded and sounded like he was jealous when he spoke next, “I want to know how my wife encouraged that man who brought trouble to himself.”

Madeline could sense the jealousy in Jeremy’s tone. She curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

Then, she said seriously, “That night at the firework viewing platform, Ryan told me something before he got shot and collapsed.

“He told me he was sorry.”

After Jeremy heard this, he could slowly guess what Madeline said to Ryan in the ICU.

“That day, he kidnapped me in the bookstore. He told me that he’d take me to you, so that’s why I went with him. Back then, I was seriously muddle-headed and I believed everything he said like an idiot.

Then, he said as long as I promised his final request, he’d take me back to you.”

“What did he ask for?”

“I didn’t understand back then, but now I do.” Madeline paused and looked into Jeremy’s inquisitive eyes. “I think he only wanted to spend some time alone with me because he knew he didn’t have much time. He had no choice apart from using this barbaric method.

“He also told me that he didn’t expect to force me into this state. He only hoped that I could stay by his side obediently.”

Jeremy finally understood. However, indignation also rose in his eyes.

“Linnie, I won’t forgive him for what he did to you even if he has apologized.” Jeremy still had rage in his heart that he could not get rid of.

He had watched as Ryan shot Madeline and he also knew how Ryan had forced Madeline to do things she did not want to again and again.

If it was not for Ryan, his entire family would be spending the rest of their lives happily since long ago.

Of course, Madeline knew how Jeremy was feeling now. “The law will make him pay for what he has done after he wakes up. If he’s truly feeling guilty, he’ll be condemned by his conscience for what he did to me after he wakes up.”

After hearing what Madeline said, the rage in Jeremy’s heart diminished by quite a lot.

“Linnie, promise me to never be soft-hearted again. Actually, I didn’t want you to wake him up at all. I wanted so badly to fire my gun and kill him the moment he shot you.”

Jeremy told her about how he was feeling as he caressed her hair while heartbroken.

“Your hair is also a part of your body. I’m unwilling to harm even a hair of yours and he cut it just like that. Linnie, I know you’re kind, but I’ll never forgive that person.”

As he said that, Jeremy lowered his gaze and a deep apology appeared in his eyes.

“Back then, I had hurt you so deeply as well. I also thought that I wasn’t worthy of your forgiveness.

However, I was selfish in hoping that you’d give me another chance. Linnie, you’ve suffered too much in your life.”

“But meeting Jeremy is the sweetest thing in my life,” Madeline smiled and said. This sentence healed the desolation and regret in Jeremy’s heart instantly.

‘Linnie, to be honest, meeting you is the sweetest and luckiest thing in my life.

‘However, I only knew to appreciate and protect you when it was too late.’

After they left the hospital, Jeremy wanted to take Madeline to the kindergarten to pick the children up.

However, the moment they got into the car, he got a call from his colleague from Interpol.

Hence, he brought Madeline to Interpol’s branch in Glendale.

Ryan was the true boss of the Stygian Johnson Gang and they had proof that he was the one who shot and killed Lana. However, they still had no progress regarding one thing and it was Ryan’s secret base in Glendale. They had no idea where it was, and this was also one of the important pieces of evidence they needed to convict him.

Jeremy recalled how Felipe was the Stygian Johnson Gang’s rival in F Country back then. They dreaded the other party becoming better than them, so he thought that Felipe might know something about this.
