Chapter 60
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 60 Madeline redressed and refreshed her makeup.
She sat in front of the mirror, letting the others handle the details for her.
In the mirrorâs reflection, the long, blackâhaired Madeline was gorgeous. A little makeup would already be enough to have people falling head- overâheels for her.
Her eyes s were dark.
Nolan was dubbed the Phantom Healer, but not because he looked horrifying On the contrary, he was extremely beautiful.
He was slightly feminine, but he wasnât lacking in a manâs directness.
He was thin, almost emaciated, giving people the impression that he was ill.
The coldness in his bones seeped through his image, revealing a sense of evil that terrified others âKnock.
âKnock.â
âKnock.â
Someone was rapping their knuckles on the door.
Hazel turned around and saw a man in oldâfashioned black and blue clothes standing at the door.
He was tall and thin, with cold white skin, looking somewhat fragile and sickly.
His almondâshaped eyes were slightly upturned, with a seductive red tinge to them.
His thin lips were pale around the edges, but his lips were red.
Beautiful But dangerous.
Hazel lowered her head and said, âMr. Fisher, youâre here.â
She took two steps back, only stopping when her waist bumped against the wall âMr. Simmons will be back tonight.â
Nolan nodded. âYouâre dismissed.â
Everyone in the room exited in a flurry of activity.
Only Madeline and Nolan were left.
From her perch on her stool, Madeline took in the reflection of the man at the door in the mirror.
Her back was tense as she greeted him. âNolan.â
Nolan walked behind Madeline and put his slender, pale hand on her shoulder.
His thumb traced the small peach blossom tattoo on her back.
âI remember when you were leaving, all crying and saying that you wanted to live a brighter life.â
He sighed. âWell, it seems that a brighter life didnât make you happy after all.â
Madeline lowered her eyes and said helplessly. âYeah. Youâre right, Nolan. What I thought was a better life turned out to be hell after allTM âI went to see your once. Nolan smiled serenely. âAt your school, I looked at you from a distance. You know, I respect you the most. Of course, would remember when you said that you wanted to be free of the pastâ
Chapter 60 Tin sorry, Nolan... Madeline blamed hersell.
âItâs okay Arenât you back now?â Nolan gently cast his gaze down at her and delicately twisted her hair in his hand. âYour hairâs grown a lot. You look. different from before. Like an adult nowâ
Nolan sighed gently, bent down, and his hands slipped from her shoulders down to her arms.
Like a hug from behind, his arms encircled her. He grasped one of her hands in his, placing them on her abdomen, like they were intimate lovers.
But he didnât press too hard, so she did not feel uncomfortable.
He acted like a gentleman, with a proper demeanor.
âMaddie, let me help you out, okay? As long as I want them dead, they wonât survive tonight. Everything theyâve done to you, Iâll repay them just the same. You can watch thein die with your own eyes.â
Madeline was stiff all over.
Of course, she knew what Nolan was up to He could have them all dead, silently and painfully.
She pursed her lips and said, âNolan, Caleb has told me that I can handle it myself.â
Nolan chuckled in her ear. âCalebs has a bad temper, but he listens to you th to you the most.â
you to remain in the world. Iâm afraid youâll be hurt and sad.â
âHe canât bear to see you suffering, but... I donât want anything that could harm you to r Nolan smiled gently and said, âIâm doing it for your own good. You will understandâ
Madeline felt a chill emanating from the person behind her, and the hair on her arms stood straight up.
She smiled hurriedly and said, âNolan, letâs not bring up that stuff, okay? We havenât seen each other for such a long time. How are your medical skills? Tell me about whatâs going on around you latelyâ
As Madeline spoke, she stood up There was no b was no hint of danger in Nolanâs smile. There was only Madeline left in his eyes.
It was like an abyss into which she could fall.
When he saw Madeline stand, he grabbed her hand again and led her downstairs.
In an apathetic voice, he said, âTheyâre all dead.â
Madeline was stunned. âWhoâs dead?â
Those who urged you to leave me are all deadâ Nolan walked slowly and leisurely, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
He felt Madelineâs hand tremble.
He surmised that he might have been too straightforward and had frightened Madeline.
But he did everything for Madelineâs benefit. If he coaxed her well enough, she would know what she wanted.
Madelineâs face was pale, and her back was ramrod straight.
Nolan led her to the sofa, and Hazel approached to pour o pour her a c a cup of tea.
Nolan had a habit of taking a sip and checking for poison before giving Madeline the other cup.
âMaddie, youâre too kind. Youâre easy to deceive. Those people werenât looking after your best interests. If they were, I wouldnât have hurt th They just want to drive you away so that they can occupy your position. You understand, donât you?â
Of course, Madeline understood clearly.
There werenât that many saints in the Phantom Organization Theer who were desperate enough to want her gone all wanted her status and better resources Chapter 60 And, of course, to reduce the number of competitors.
However, Madeline took advantage of the matter and didnât consider herself as being used.
âNolan.â
Nolan placed the hot teacup in her palm and said, âA girl should drink more hot water. Isnât your period coming in a few days?
Because you suffered as a child, your health is poor.â
He continued. âI remember you being in pain all night the first time you had your period. At that time, I was thinking about how to make it feel less painful for you. If only I could experience the pain for you.â
Even Nolan thought it was funny upon further introspection.
He was a man. How could he experience it on behalf of his Madeline?
âDo they still I hurt i now!â
Madeline pursed her lips and said, âThey still hurt, but itâs tolerable.â
Nolan was a little crestfallen.
His eyes were alight with determination, as if the moon itself were in his irises. Til cure you, alright?â
He raised his hand to touch the side of Madelineâs face and said with a gentle voice, âI canât bear to see your pain.â
Madeline took a sip from the cup in her hand.
Off to the side, Hazel looked pale..
Although Mr. Fisher had said that dysmenorrhea could be likened to a terminal illness, she couldnât laugh at all and was still deathly afraid.
Mr. Simmons killing someone was expected.
But Mr. Fisher was different. He could be smiling one moment, then suddenly take someone out the next.
He was terrifying.
Madeline noticed that Hazelâs hand was trembling slightly. âHazel, please help me clean up my room. I donât like a messy dresser.
Hazel hurried away as if she had just been granted amnesty, Madeline pretended to be calm.
But the person next to her laughed in a low voice.
âMy Maddie is still so kind, I wonât kill innocent people. Donât worry. You used to say that I donât take human life seriously, so Iâve corrected my ways. Youâll see my change.â
Nolanâs attitude toward Madeline was also unexpected. âI know itâll take a while for you to get used to it. It
