Chapter 1238

Based on what Ryan said just now, Madeline was certain.

“I don’t think so. Yorick might just be this person’s puppet…”

“Who are you calling?”

Ryan’s sudden appearance interrupted Madeline.

She held the phone as she looked at the man walking toward her and continued calmly, “I’ll bring Lily out to meet you someday. I have something to take care of now, so I’m gonna hang up.”

Madeline finished saying that calmly and hung up the phone.

Seeing Ryan’s probing gaze, she explained calmly, “It’s Fabian. He likes Lily very much, so he specifically called to ask me about her.”

Ryan nodded and did not ask anything more.

Madeline did not know if this man was doubting her, but she had already begun to doubt Ryan’s identity.

She seemed to gradually understand why Ryan wanted to kill Jeremy so much.

This man seemed indifferent to worldly rewards and gentle, but his hidden identity was absolutely and unexpectedly terrifying.

Madeline spent two peaceful days in Ryan’s place.

News about her and Ryan also spread on the internet.

Madeline was notified by the court that Jeremy’s case had already been scheduled.

While Ryan was out, Madeline took this opportunity to return to Whitman Manor.

Karen happened to be away and this relieved Madeline. Otherwise, Karen would definitely berate her.

She visited her three children, but she found that Lillian seemed to be more depressed than before.

She still did not speak and only painted.

Madeline knew the only way to resolve this child’s trauma was to bring Jeremy home.

Before Karen returned, Madeline left.

When she returned to Ryan’s place, Ryan had already returned.

When he saw Madeline coming in from outside, he smiled and asked, “Did you go back to see the children?”

Upon hearing this, Madeline was sure that Ryan had asked someone to watch her.

She nodded. “If you’re not happy with that, I won’t go out and see them next time.”

“I won’t stop you from seeing your children. After all, I’ll be living with them in the future.” Ryan sounded very confident as if Madeline and her children would definitely belong to him in the future.

Madeline did not argue with him either. Since the sky was getting dark, she went into the kitchen to make dinner.

Ryan looked at her with satisfaction, but after a while, he answered his phone and went upstairs.

A moment later, he changed his clothes and came downstairs. “I have something to take care of and need to go out. I’ll have dinner with you when I come back.”

Madeline looked at Ryan’s hurried expression before immediately turning the stove off and taking off her apron. Then, she followed behind him.

Fearing that her car would attract Ryan’s attention, she called a cab on the side of the road and followed his car at a distance of about 20 or 30 yards.

However, Ryan seemed to be dragging things on by deliberately circling the city. Madeline was worried whether she had been discovered, but at this moment, the car stopped.

After Madeline got out of the car, she only saw Ryan’s car parked not far away, but Ryan was nowhere to be seen.

There was a large amusement park that was under construction in front of her. At this point in time, no one was working and it was extremely quiet.

Yet, Madeline believed that Ryan was nearby.

She walked forward cautiously. Suddenly, she heard the voice of a man with a foreign accent coming from the other side of the wall.

Madeline figured it was the man named Thomas who had spoken with Ryan that day.

She walked quickly toward the fence, but the sky was getting dark and she did not notice that there was a plastic bottle under her feet. The sound it made after she stepped on it startled the people who were talking.

Madeline’s expression changed when she heard the sudden cessation of the conversation.

She turned around hurriedly to hide, but when she turned around, she saw that someone was also walking toward her from behind!
