Chapter 1267
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
After Ryan left, Madeline was left alone in the room.
The maids came in once again and delivered the first aid kit and a splendid meal of western cuisine.
Madeline looked at her finger which was still bleeding. She knew that she possessed a rare blood group and did not want to continue bleeding.
âLet me help you, Madam.â The young maid was very friendly and came over politely, hoping to offer Madeline a helping hand.
Madeline realized she had acted rashly earlier after recalling the incident. She should remain calm as that was the only way to escape from Ryanâs grasp.
âAlright.â Madeline nodded. âSorry for troubling you with this.â
The maid happily went ahead and helped Madeline dress her wound after noticing that Madeline was not strongly resisting like earlier.
With utmost respect, she squatted beside Madeline and took out the alcohol and cotton swab to clean the wound.
Madeline stared at the maid, who was cleaning her wound with a serious look on her face, and asked with a calm tone, âWhatâs your name?â
âMy nameâs Sandy,â the maid replied with a smile. Then, she pointed at another maid who was busy cleaning the floor. âSheâs Jess. We were both specially hired to take care of you, Madam.â
âSandy, Jess.â
Madeline thought to herself before asking again, âSandy, where is this place?â
âThis is the masterâs holiday villa in Y County. Donât you know about it?â Sandy blinked her innocent big eyes as she stared at Madeline as if she was puzzled.
âY Country?
âThis is Y Country?
âWait a second.â
Madeline suddenly recalled Avaâs words that Avaâs mother was the richest person in Y Country!
âIs this an opportunity given to me to escape from Ryanâs control?
âBut I think Avaâs mother is currently in Glendale.â
The thought of it extinguished the flame of hope within her.
âMadam, your injury has been properly bandaged. For the time being, please donât get water on it, or else your injury will be inflamed.â Sandy reminded her while placing the meal on the table. âPlease have your meal, Madam. Weâll be waiting outside. Just summon us whenever you need anything.â
Madeline stared at the western cuisine and realized she had no other choice.
âThanks.â
The two maids were delighted. âThis is our responsibility. You donât have to express your gratitude to us, Madam.â
The two maids said simultaneously, then left the room with faint smiles.
âJudging from their way of action and speech, it seems theyâve undergone special training. They donât look like any ordinary maids.â
Madeline was lost. âJust who the hell is Ryan?
âAnd about the thing he told me earlierâ¦â
âDo you know why I hate Jeremy so much? Do you even know what place this is?â
âWhy does he hate Jeremy that much?â
Madeline could not figure out the reason for it, but from what she had seen, Ryan had a motive behind everything he did. He seemed bent on against Jeremy.
âJeremy.â
Madeline held the wedding ring on her ring finger and frowned.
âI know that youâll be able to find me. I promise you, Iâll take good care of myself before you manage to find me. Iâll be waiting for you,â she muttered to herself. She glanced at the meal before her. Despite not having the appetite to eat, she still forced herself to fill up her stomach.
She needed the strength to fight against Ryan!

In the study room.
Ryanâs long fingers were holding onto the new reagent created by Adam.
After having a look at it, his expression darkened.
