Jeremy had not expected Linnie to walk over as well and he secretly glanced at the situation through the peephole from the corner of his eye before replying plainly, “I’m not. I was just about to open the door.” He smiled softly before opening the door. When the door was opened, Madeline was met with an alluring young lady standing right outside their room. The lights may have been dim last night, but Madeline would remember such ethereal features. Shirley watched Madeline give herself a good look and was reminded of how Madeline found out about her late-night talk with Jeremy. She smiled unconcernedly and was about to speak when Madeline suddenly walked up to her with a friendly smile. “Hello. I’m Eveline, Jeremy’s wife. Jeremy already told me about how you helped him when he wasn’t doing well during that half a year. Thank you for letting my husband come back to me.” “...” A confused look flashed through Shirley’s eyes. She suspected if Madeline was mocking her, but the

Madeline ran out of the bathroom and saw Jeremy lying on the floor next to the bed.“Jeremy!” She frantically ran over and knelt by the man. The man’s sharp brows were knitted as if he was enduring severe agony. Madeline’s heart raced in panic.“What happened, Jeremy? Is the poison acting up again?”Madeline pulled Jeremy by his shoulders so that he could lean against her chest.She wanted to carry him to the bed if she could but she was not strong enough.“What happened? Adam himself said that the lapse between each attack would become longer and longer. Why is this happening now?”Madeline was anxious as her tears began to fall without restraint, falling onto Jeremy’s face.“Don’t worry, Linnie,” Jeremy spoke through the pain and reached out to caress Madeline’s cheek. “I’m already used to the pain. It won’t be for very long. I’ll be fine soon.” He comforted her as his seductive lips were pulled into a small smile to placate her worry.However, the more he was considerate

Madeline was stunned for a moment as she glanced at the bathroom where the glass door was tightly shut.“It’ll be over soon, Jeremy. Just hold on a little longer.“You can unleash the pain just like you used to before.“I’m your doctor but I’m also your friend. I can help you, ah…”Madeline heard Shirley’s voice sound non-stop from the bathroom until her last amorous whisper. Then, the bathroom turned silent.The staff glanced at the bathroom weirdly before turning to Madeline to speak.“I’ve already brought all the ice to the bathroom, Mrs. Whitman. I’ll be leaving then if there isn’t anything else you need.”Madeline snapped back to reality. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.” The staff gave a small smile and left.Madeline dragged Shirley’s luggage over to the bathroom and reached out to open the door only to realize that the glass door was locked from the inside.“I brought your luggage over, Shirley. How’s Jeremy doing?” Madeline asked while facing the bathroom door but recei

“Jeremy!”Madeline could not find it in her to continue waiting by the door at those comments. She opened the glass door and ran into the bathroom.What met her was the sight of Jeremy oozing with anger and iciness while Shirley had fallen next to the bathtub.Madeline had no idea what happened. Her priority was knowing how Jeremy was doing, but out of politeness, she moved to help Shirley up first.She had just reached out when she felt Jeremy grabbing her arm tightly. The man was strong and Madeline felt a twinge of pain at his firm grip.“Don’t touch her.”Jeremy spat out the four words out coldly, his tone exceptionally chilling.“Jeremy?” Madeline looked at the man’s sharp gaze. “Are you okay, Jeremy? What happened? Is Shirley—”“Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman. I’m alright.” Shirley grabbed the side of the tub as she slowly sat up. She glanced at Jeremy’s cold gaze from the corner of her eyes before she turned to smile at Madeline.“Jeremy doesn’t want you to touch me because

Madeline was surprised as well to see the person coming down from the car. "Shirley, why are you here as well?"Shirley let out a friendly smile that looked almost generous. "Didn't I say before that I'm coming back home? This is my home."Madeline pointed at the small villa ahead. "This is your house?""Yup, this is my house." Shirley nodded confidently. Then, she walked toward Adam who was looking all serious. "Adam, your sister is back home. Why aren't you looking happy at all?"That piece of information made Madeline flabbergasted. "Shirley, you're Adam's sister?""That's right, I'm Adam's sister. I'm his biological sister with the same father and mother." Shirley raised her hand and gently tapped on Adam's shoulder. She let out a mystifying smile. "Adam, why don't you introduce your friends to me?"Adam heard the comment and let out a smile that was not obvious. "There's no need for me to introduce you since you guys already seem to know each other." He took two steps ahead
