Chapter 1346
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.
“You’re lying to me. I didn’t cause this.” Madeline stared at Ryan in dissatisfaction. “You’re despicable. You lied to me and told me that you’ll take me to find Jeremy, and now you’re lying to me again by saying it was me who pushed and hurt you.”
Ryan chuckled nonchalantly when he heard Madeline reprimanding him. “Yes, I was lying to you. So what are you going to do to me?”
Madeline pursed her lips while looking at Ryan with contempt in her eyes.
“I won’t do anything to you. I just want you to let my parents go and stop targeting Jeremy.”
Ryan felt conflicted for a while after listening to Madeline’s 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.
“Ryan, what do I have to do so that you’ll let my parents go and stop targeting Jeremy?” Madeline asked solemnly.
Ryan looked at Madeline’s eyes that were no longer piercing, and somehow, there was an indescribable dull pain in his heart.
He watched Madeline’s elegant and feminine face quietly. Then, complex emotions of loneliness and expectations gradually surfaced in those gray eyes.
“Eveline,” he called out to her softly. The strong possessiveness and aggressiveness in his eyes had long since disappeared.
“Eveline, are you willing to agree to anything as long as I let your parents go and stop targeting Jeremy?”
Madeline seemed to hesitate for two seconds. “I can promise you anything you want, but I won’t stay with you. The person I love is Jeremy.”
A trace of loneliness flashed across Ryan’s eyes, but he no longer had the reluctant anger from before.
He looked at Madeline and smiled. “I know. I know that you love Jeremy. I’ll no longer force you to stay with me. I only have one request now.”
