Chapter 1462

She clenched the fork and knife tightly in her hands, trying hard to suppress her emotions. After she took a deep breath, she said, “Can I go to Glendale with you?”

The man lifted his head to look at her after he heard that.

Madeline looked confidently into those deep and cold obsidian eyes. “My home is in Glendale. I miss my home.”

“You want to go home looking like this?”

“No, I just want to go back to take a look.” Madeline knew her current condition. She did not want to stand in front of Jeremy while looking like this.

Perhaps he would not mind that she was disfigured.

However, Madeline did not dare to find out. She was scared that Jeremy might not even recognize her if she were to stand in front of him like this.

When she thought about that scene, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed by needles.

She did not have the courage to try.

“You’re from Glendale, so you should know about a lot of things in Glendale, right? If that’s the case, you should’ve heard about Jeremy Whitman in Glendale?”

Madeline could not deny it. She nodded lightly. “I’ve heard about him. He’s the young master from the top wealthiest family in Glendale. However, I’m not sure about the rest.”

She answered calmly. Then, she asked while taking advantage of the situation for her benefit, “Are you asking about Jeremy? Do you want to do business with him? What do you do? Where is this place?”

After Madeline asked these questions, she realized she might have gotten a little too anxious.

When she saw the man examining her with his deep eyes, she shifted her gaze calmly.

“I’m just curious.”

“Everyone is inquisitive. It’s not strange,” the man said flatly, “Since you want to go home so badly, I’ll send you on the way.”

“…”

Send her on the way.

This sounded a little strange, but Madeline did not think that this man would do anything to her.

He saved her and even got a doctor to treat her. It could be seen that he was a pretty kind-hearted person.

However, who was he? Madeline had no idea. She did not even know what this man’s full name was.

After breakfast, the man ordered the maids to make the preparations before heading to Glendale.

The maid considerately gave Madeline a mask and a scarf so that she could cover the sinister-looking and ugly wounds on her face.

After Madeline thanked her, she found the man to ask for Ryan’s urn.

He was gone, so it did not matter what happened between them in the past anymore as they were all gone with the wind. The last thing she could do for him was to take him back to his home.

To be frank, Ryan was not that horrible. At least the smile and warmth he gave to her at the beginning were all from the heart.

They went back on a yacht and Madeline could not help but recall what happened that day. Finally, they reached Glendale amidst her anxiety.

When Madeline stepped foot inside Glendale, she started feeling more at ease.

“Are you planning to go home now?” the man walked up to Madeline and asked.

Madeline wanted to nod, but she hesitated.

“I want to send my friend home first.” Madeline lifted Ryan’s urn, then turned around while seemingly in a predicament. “Can you lend me 100 dollars?”

The man paused before asking his entourage to give Madeline a generous wad of cash.

Madeline took one of the 100 dollar bills. “Thanks,” she said before turning around to hail a cab from the side of the road.

In order to prevent people from seeing her horrifying face, she put on a mask and wrapped a scarf around herself so that her face was completely covered.

She hailed a cab and quietly sat in the backseat. As she held Ryan’s urn in her arms, her heart started to feel heavy.

Then, the car stopped at the red light and Madeline lifted her head to look out the window. However, after looking, there was debilitating pain in her heart that was already hurting.
