Chapter 1724

Perhaps Shirley had never imagined that this would happen to her one day.

When Madeline saw Shirley in this state, she fell silent.

“Jeremy, are you really not going to let her go?”

“Letting her stay here is already my absolute limit.” As Jeremy said that, he grabbed Madeline’s hand to walk out of the door. At the same time, he locked the door of the guest room.

He turned around and held Madeline’s shoulders. Then, he said earnestly, “Linnie, don’t worry about me and don’t feel sorry for this woman. She’s the one who poisoned you and it’s because of her that we have to suffer the pain of getting tormented by the poison again. If we can’t get better, then she also should not think about getting better.”

After hearing what Jeremy said, Madeline suddenly felt relieved.

She smiled gently. Her warm palm was caressing the side of Jeremy’s cheek softly. “Jeremy, I completely understand what you mean. We’ll go according to your plan and keep Shirley here for the time being. If she can come to her senses and give us the anti-toxoid reagent, it would be the best.

However, if she doesn’t, I also hope that you can try your best to handle this rationally.”

After Madeline said this, she lifted Jeremy’s face when she saw that he was silent. Her beautiful eyes were looking straight into his eyes.

“Jeremy, look at me and promise me this.”

Jeremy looked into Madeline’s eyes, nodding seriously and gravely.

“I promise you, Linnie. I won’t do anything irrational.”

“Okay.” Madeline smiled in satisfaction. “Give me the key to this room.”

Jeremy did not hesitate before handing the key to Madeline.

Madeline opened the door and when she entered the room, she saw that Shirley had already gotten out of bed.

She looked battered and exhausted, but it was not as bad as before.

When Shirley saw Madeline, Shirley stopped in her tracks. When she wanted to say something, she saw Jeremy coming in after Madeline and she backed away subconsciously.

“Jeremy, Eveline, don’t think that you’ll get the anti-toxoid reagent by locking me here. You will never get the anti-toxoid reagent by doing this!”

Jeremy chuckled in a low voice, filled with disdain. “If we can’t get it, neither can you. You’ve also been injected with the same poison as Linnie. You’ll go through whatever Linnie goes through soon enough.”

“…” Shirley bit her dry lip and there was a look of panic in her alluring eyes.

She was panicking. Of course, she was panicking.

She had always watched other people suffer in pain after she developed the poison.

She had never been tormented by the poison she developed before, but she knew it must be a horrible experience.

Even though she had not reached the first stage of the poison, the pain when Jeremy injected her with it was enough for her to feel it deeply.

Madeline caught the uneasiness on Shirley’s face and she turned around to look into Jeremy’s eyes.

“Jeremy, you should go out and wait for me. Let me talk to her for a bit.”

“Linnie, you have to be careful. She’s not like you. You have a cautious heart but she has a heart that only knows how to hurt people.”

“…” When Shirley heard this, she had nothing to say as well.

“I’ll be careful. Don’t worry.” Madeline gave Jeremy a reassuring answer.

Jeremy did not say anything anymore. He turned around to walk to the door before closing it.

He did not walk away and just stayed at the door.

If Shirley really wanted to do something reckless, he would be able to rush in there and protect Madeline immediately.

Meanwhile, inside the room, after Shirley saw that Jeremy had left, she sat down on the bed while letting out a sigh of relief.

She leaned against the side of the bed, seemingly exhausted. She was looking at Madeline insipidly as she said, “Mrs. Whitman, what do you want to talk to me about?”
