Chapter 1247
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Seeing Madelineâs serious appearance, Ryan put down the cup of coffee and looked at Madeline curiously. âWhat do you want to talk to me about?â
Madeline looked down slightly before turning around and walking to the French window. âLast night, I was so defeated and it was difficult for me to accept his cold-heartedness. Maybe youâre right and I should let it go. Maybe this marriage between me and Jeremy has just been one-sided this whole time.â
Ryan looked at Madelineâs back thoughtfully.
âSo what you want to discuss with me isâ¦â
âI donât know what kind of punishment heâll face next. I only hope that if he really has to die, at least he wonât be in so much pain in the days before the execution.â
Ryan gradually understood Madelineâs meaning. âYou want me to give Jeremy the anti-toxoid test reagents?â
âYes. Regardless of the verdict, I hope you can give him the reagents.â
Madeline turned around. Her misty and beautiful eyes seemed to have a magical power that caused Ryan to be absent-minded.
âI know he may not appreciate it, just like when he knew how I sacrificed myself to meet you to get the reagents for him. He would rather suffer in pain and refuse to let me inject him. He even threw the remaining last three bottles away.â
She sighed with a sad smile. âThis may be his ego as a man, but whether he accepts it or not, this is the last thing I want to do for him.â
After listening to Madelineâs words, Ryan seemed to be lost in thought.
He seemed to be thinking about something. Then, he turned around to walk to the safe and entered the password in front of Madeline. After that, he took out the reagent and handed it to Madeline.
âGive this to him.â
Madeline looked at Ryan in disbelief. âAre you really willing to give this to me?â
âSince this is the last thing you want to do for him, I donât want to disappoint you.â Ryan looked at Madeline with a warm smile.
Madeline slowly raised her hand and took the reagent.
The reagent was so light, but it felt extremely heavy when she got it in her hands.
âThank you.â Madeline thanked him while her eyes slowly turned red. âIn fact, I saw you putting the reagent in the safe that day, so I sneaked in to try to open the safe but failed.â
Hearing this, Ryan seemed to be in a daze. He never thought that Madeline would confess this to him.
He smiled and said, âActually, I knew it a long time ago.â
âYou knew?â Madeline widened her beautiful eyes in confusion.
Ryan picked up the phone and opened an app. âThe study is equipped with monitoring and anti-theft measures, so Iâll know about it whenever you open the door.â
âOhâ¦â Madeline looked at the phone, and a glimmer in her beautiful eyes flashed.
âI know youâve done so much for Jeremy, and you canât forget about him so quickly. I can completely understand.â
Ryan returned to the computer and took a look. âI received a message in the morning from the higher-
ups. Since Jeremy escaped from prison last night and killed another police officer, it has turned into something extremely serious. Heâll go to court tomorrow.â
Madeline quickly thought of the police officer who was lying in a pool of blood on the grass last night.
âSo, if you want to see him and give him the reagent, today is the last chance because you might not even get to see him after this.â
Ryan reminded her, seemingly doing it out of good intentions. However, at the same time, it also brought him the joy of almost approaching victory.
He had already received internal information that Jeremy would definitely be sentenced to death.
He could taste the victory.
It was not necessary to give these bottles of reagent to Madeline as a favor.
Madeline immediately went to the place where Jeremy was imprisoned.
Since Jeremy was already a felon, she could not visit him. However, Ryan pulled some strings in advance and allowed Madeline in.
Jeremy was in solitary confinement. When Madeline opened the door, she saw Jeremy sitting next to the bed looking very sick and tired.
Jeremy raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard some movements. Then, he looked at Madeline who came in through the door.
However, Jeremy looked away after glancing at Madeline. âWhy are you still here? Are you here to pour salt on my wounds?â
His hoarse voice slipped weakly into Madelineâs ears.
Madeline walked in front of him and said nothing. Then, she opened the kit of reagents and took out one of them.
This kit of reagents had a total of seven courses of treatment.
Since Jeremy had poison in his body, he would not be healed immediately. As such, he would need a long process of treatment and rehabilitation.
Madeline did not speak to Jeremy. She prepared the syringe and stretched out her hand to lift Jeremyâs arm.
