Chapter 1156
She made an excuse to go to the toilet when in truth, she was hiding in a secluded corner where she tapped open the email.
The first half of the report was filled with numbers that Madeline did not understand, so she scrolled all the way down where the chemist’s conclusion was.
It said that the person the blood sample belonged to had been infected with several unknown diseases. It was an accumulation of these diseases that resulted in a change of hair color, the color of their irises, and the sound of their voice.
Hemodialysis showed that the patient was not in any life-threatening danger.
However, there was always the possibility of the disease mutating which would result in the patient’s life being slowly consumed to the point where they would die from a lack of treatment.
Madeline’s temples began to throb as she read.
‘So you haven’t fully recovered, after all, Jeremy.’
Her heart was aching, and she forced her tears back.
Thinking about the poison in Jeremy’s body and the potential result if the poison began to mutate, Madeline felt her world go dark again.
‘It looks like there’s no hope of spending the rest of our lives together, simple and in love, Jeremy.
‘If that’s our only future, then I will never let you go again’.
…
Ava read the official statement online, and her eyes quickly fell on the harsh anti-fans who had jumped on the bandwagon.
As she was in a great mood, she immediately called Madeline. “Your marriage with Ryan is in name only, Maddie? Why didn’t you tell me that in the first place, then? I wouldn’t have worried so much if I knew.”
Madeline sighed. “It wasn’t supposed to be so complicated. It only got so out of hand because Ryan suddenly went back on his word.”
The sky began to darken before she knew it and the workers began to clock out of work as well.
Madeline placed her work down and waited at the pantry for Jeremy.
She had just walked out of the perfume room when she saw Ryan approaching her.
Madeline’s footsteps slowed down. Seeing Ryan now, her understanding of the man had taken a full 180.
He may look like an elegant gentleman, but Madeline would no longer take him for one after the things he had done.
“Why are you here?” Madeline asked coldly.
Ryan smiled and walked toward her. “What do you think?”
