Chapter 1406

Just then, the door of the ward suddenly opened and a prison guard walked in. “Someone’s here to see you, Ryan.”

Ryan slowly opened his starry gray eyes at the sound of the guard’s voice.

He had not expected anyone to come and visit as who else but his parents would come?

‘Who else, if not my parents?’ he thought to himself, but a face he had never expected surprised him by suddenly appearing before his eyes.

He never thought he could see her again.

He also thought that the meeting that day would be their last.

Ryan was about to speak when he heard the woman in front of him sneering. It was a sound that turned all of Ryan’s pleasant surprise and hopes into dust.

“As the one who arranged my future, Rye, did it not occur to you that your future would end up like this?”

The woman curled her lips slightly and a scornful smirk appeared on her picturesque, small face.

“I’m so upset, Rye. Why did you become like this? What’s the point of me being like this if you’re going to stay in such a place for the rest of your life?”

Ryan stared at the flawless beauty in front of him and looked away indifferently.

“Leave. It’s all over already.”

The woman’s delicate eyebrows furrowed indignantly. “What are you talking about, Rye? You can’t just give up like this! How could you? What am I supposed to do if you give up?”

Ryan glanced coldly at the fury that donned her face. Even when she was furious, the woman was beautiful and could move hearts. Even so, he did not feel the slightest bit in love.

The woman grew more frustrated at Ryan’s lack of response and seemed moments away from gnashing her teeth.

“The game isn’t over, Ryan! What do you have to give up like this?

“I’m telling you. I won’t let it end like this!

“Just because you’re giving up doesn’t mean I will too!”

Ryan frowned when he heard this. “What do you want to do?”

The woman chuckled coldly and raised her hand to point at her delicate, beautiful face. “This appearance is my capital. After all that I’ve suffered, I refuse to give up before I get my profit!”

“Don’t you dare mess around,” Ryan warned.

“Hmph. Stop lying to yourself, Rye. You can’t possibly be content with how it has ended, can you, Rye?” The woman provoked, saying, “In that case, I’ll just do what you couldn’t then!”

With that, the woman turned around and left hastily.

Ryan sat up abruptly in bed. He wanted to stop her, but every move he made pulled at his wounds.

He furrowed his eyebrows deeply and looked at the closed prison door as he clenched his fists firmly.

‘Are you content with how all this ended, Ryan?’

He asked himself, knowing that the question was without an answer.

…

The following day.

Madeline and Jeremy boarded a two-hour flight and arrived at their destination.

The weather in the resort reminded her of midsummer Glendale when the sun shone brightly in the sky.

Madeline and Jeremy left their luggage at the hotel and changed into comfortable leisure clothing before going to the beach.

There were many tourists on the beach, filling the area with young ladies in bikinis, men with exposed abs, and children with their parents.

Surrounded by such a lively atmosphere, Madeline’s mood brightened as well.

Staring at the azure body of water that stretched infinitely into the horizon, a bold idea suddenly popped into Madeline’s mind.

She was about to turn around and tell Jeremy her idea when the world around her suddenly fell dark.
