Chapter 1266
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline raised her gaze when she heard Ryanâs comment and saw the gleam in his sparkling eyes that was expressing his urge to conquer her.
âHeâs really stubborn.â
Suddenly, Ryan grabbed Madelineâs finger that was bleeding.
She tried to pull back, not wanting Ryan to grasp her too tightly. He then lowered his head and sealed his lips over her injury that was still bleeding, as if he was trying to tend to her injury.
âWhat are you doing?â Madeline was feeling restless as she summoned her remaining force to push Ryan aside.
Ryan gently licked the bloodstain with his lip. The taste of the fresh blood from her fingertips put a satisfactory smile on his fair face, making him look almost devilish.
Madeline had never seen such a smile and it gave her chills throughout her body.
Ryanâs smile got wider when he noticed the fear in her eyes.
âI thought that youâre fearless, but it turns out there are times when youâre afraid as well.â He inched closer to her, and each step that he took made Madeline grow more resistant to him. âYour blood is very precious, have you forgotten? Thatâs why itâs best if you take good care of yourself.â
Madeline glanced at Ryan. She could no longer read what was going on in his mind.
Ryan was not concerned about Madelineâs orbs that were glittering with curiosity. He leaned forward to kiss her face, but Madeline got away from him. Ryan did not manage to touch her and just managed to sniff the fragrance emanating from her hair.
He pursed his lips, and his eyes seemed calm. âHave your wound bandaged and eat well. In another two days, Iâll bring you over to meet two people. I believe youâll be thrilled to meet these two people.â
Madeline spun around, ignoring Ryan. She did not wish to face him.
Ryan did not stay much longer. He opened the door and ordered the servants to deliver a first aid kit and meal over to Madeline. He also told them to get the room cleaned up.
As Ryan looked out the window, his lips twitched.
âNo oneâs going to find this place, and no one can stop me from obtaining the ultimate victory.â

Jeremy boarded the plane and headed to Y Country. He was unable to calm himself.
That was because up to that point, he was still unable to figure out the location in Y Country where Ryan had brought Madeline to.
Frustrated, he looked at the scenery outside the window to distract himself. The sky was blue, but his feelings were gloomy.
Many years had passed, but he never once loved her wholeheartedly.
In the years when she was willing to sacrifice everything for him, Jeremy let her down and eventually even left a crack in their relationship.
Now, Madeline was still willing to put her life on the line for him, but what about him?
Perhaps it was his frustrated feelings, or maybe it was the poison in his body, but Jeremy needed to calm himself down and made his way to the smoking zone.
However, after taking out a cigarette, he recalled Madelineâs reminder.
âJeremy, stop smoking. Smoking is not good for your body. I donât wish to see anything else happening to you. I want you to be healthy.â
Her voice was like a summer breeze, tickling his ears. It was as if he was still able to hear it crystal clear.
âIâll listen to you, Linnie.â Jeremy stared at the wedding ring passionately before turning around and leaving the smoking zone.
As soon as he left, the plane suddenly shook vigorously and tilted about 45 degrees.
Jeremy did not have enough time to grab the bar above. His body slanted and he knocked his head hard against the wall of the cabin.
The plane was still shaking vigorously. Jeremy wanted to pull himself away from the ground by holding the railing, but suddenly, he felt dizzy. The scene before him became blurryâ¦
He saw Montgomery Manor from his memory, and the fierce flames were reflected in his orbs. Just when the fire was quickly spreading, he saw two silhouettes. They belonged to Eloise and Sean!
Jeremyâs pupils suddenly shrunk as the memory that he lost came flashing in his mind!
