Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1648

Chapter 1648

Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore. However, she did not want Jeremy to know that the person standing at the door was Carter.

She took a step toward Carter and closed the door.

"What's your purpose in doing this?"

"Today at 7 p.m., I'll be waiting in the study of Gray Manor. I'll tell you what my purpose is then." Carter gave her this answer and opened his palm once again. He picked up the anti-toxoid test reagent in his hand and shook it in front of Madeline.

"I think you don't have a reason to reject, right? Once that poison flares up again, it'll be 100 times worse than what you imagine."

Carter's words undoubtedly exposed the fact that he knew about Jeremy's situation well.

Madeline had no choice and said, "Okay, tonight at 7 p.m. I'll go meet you."

"I hope you can avoid Jeremy as best as you can. Don't let him follow you again. This will be the best for you and him." Carter seemed to be reminding her out of goodwill.

Madeline nodded mechanically and agreed. "Okay, I won't let my husband follow me."

"See you tonight, then." Carter curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction before handing the anti-toxoid test reagent in his hand to Madeline.

After Madeline got the anti-toxoid test reagent, she finally felt her heart feeling more at ease.

However, when she was about to turn around to walk into the room, she heard Carter say leisurely from behind her, "You didn't lose the anti-toxoid test reagent. I took it out of your pocket. Maybe you think you're in control of everything, but you might not know that I'm in control of more things than you are."

"..."

A split second after she heard this, Madeline felt a chill rising from the bottom of her feet.

She turned around to take a look and saw that Carter had already left.

Madeline told herself not to think too much about it. She immediately went back to Jeremy and skillfully attached the anti-toxoid test reagent to the tiny syringe.

When Jeremy saw the anti-toxoid test reagent in Madeline's hands, he was surprised. "Linnie, who was knocking on the door just now? Why is this anti-toxoid test reagent..."

"Mrs. Gray asked someone to send this to me." Madeline found a seemingly reasonable excuse. "Jeremy, I'll inject you with this first. You'll feel much better soon."

Jeremy did not suspect what Madeline was saying at all. In addition to the pain that was torturing him, he did not have the mood to overthink as well.

After Madeline injected the reagent into him, she could clearly see Jeremy starting to recover.

When Madeline saw this change, she felt very much relieved. However, it was just temporary.

It had been a long time since the last time this happened to Jeremy, so she found this sudden flare-up strange. Plus, Adam's sister had even appeared and said all those weird things to Jeremy. Madeline thought about this, and while Jeremy was resting, she used this opportunity to call Adam.

After Adam got news of this, he was stumped for words on the other end of the phone. After a while, he said, "I think you guys should stay away from Shirley Brown." Shirley Brown.

He was calling his sister by her full name.

Madeline detected something strange when Adam addressed his own sister in such an estranged way.

"Can you tell me why?" Madeline asked softly.

After a while, Adam answered, "I don't know how to explain this to you. I can't make this clear in just a few sentences. If possible, you should come back as soon as you can but before that, don't get in touch with Shirley."

"I got it," Madeline answered. After she hung up the phone, she found another number in her contacts and made a call...

Gray Manor.

Carter was sitting in the study staring at the clock on the wall in front of him. He was waiting for the minute hand to get to the position of 7 p.m.

When the minute hand was one second away from 7 p.m., the door of the study was pushed open.

He thought Madeline had shown up just in time, but when he saw the person who appeared, he could not help but furrow his brows.
