Chapter 1647

Jeremy used all of the energy he had to trap Madeline into a tight hug.

Madeline was stunned. She could feel Jeremy’s arms shaking when they were around her. His hands were also shaking and his entire body as well.

“Jeremy…”

Madeline’s heart started to ache.

She did not know if he was shaking because he was in too much pain or whether he was too worried about her.

“Jeremy, I have to go. No one and nothing here can help you aside from that anti-toxoid test reagent, so I have to go…”

“There’s someone else who can help me…”

Jeremy said this sentence weakly.

Madeline was stunned when she heard this. “Who?”

“Shirley Brown.”

That stunning face immediately appeared in Madeline’s brain.

“Shirley?” she asked in disbelief.

“Yes, her.” Jeremy tightened his arms around her. “Not long ago after I finished buying you the new clothes, I saw her standing outside the door of our room.”

“Why is she in St. Piaf? How does she know where we are?” Madeline widened her alluring eyes in surprise.

Jeremy furrowed his long eyebrows. “She even reminded me that the poison in my body would flare up soon and asked me to go back to Glendale to find Adam as soon as I could.”

When Madeline heard this, she somehow felt that something was amiss.

She let go of her arms around him and did not want to find out the answer at this moment. She quickly found Jeremy’s phone that was on his body.

After unlocking his phone, Madeline found Shirley’s number in his contacts. However, while she was in the middle of doing that, the doorbell rang.

Madeline did not want to pay attention to it. However, it kept ringing and she could only go to open the door.

She thought it was room service, but after she opened the door, she saw Carter standing in front of her.

Carter still had the posture of an elegant son of nobility. However, to Madeline, this man was not as upright as the time when she had just met him.

Madeline blocked the door vigilantly when she figured that Carter might be here to cause trouble for her, or he might have even brought the police to arrest her.

However, before Madeline could say anything, Carter suddenly reached out his hand in front of her and opened his palm.

“You need this, right?” Carter asked. There was a faint smile that looked both righteous and evil on his handsome face.

Madeline’s eyes lit up. She saw the anti-toxoid test reagent she needed in Carter’s hand.

This was the anti-toxoid test reagent that she always had with her but lost unknowingly!

Madeline quickly reached out her hand to grab it but Carter clenched his fist tightly.

This movement seemed to have distinguished the light in Madeline’s eyes.

She looked behind her and closed the door of the room slightly. Her black yet bright and clear eyes looked into Carter’s smiling eyes sharply.

“Carter, don’t make me look down on you,” Madeline said softly.

Carter tugged the corners of his lips lightly and answered bluntly, “I don’t care what kind of image I have in your heart. I just want to reach my goal.”

Madeline stared blankly at the man who was smiling superficially. Suddenly, she realized that Carter was so much different than what she had imagined him to be.

This man was too mysterious, and until now, she still could not understand the reason behind his actions.

At this moment, his straightforwardness and ‘honesty’ made him seem extremely jolly.
