There was a table not far in front of her. Upon seeing the objects placed on it, Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before she rushed toward the table.
Jeremy’s phone and wedding ring were still clearly visible in the dim light.
Madeline picked up the wedding ring and phone, certain that Jeremy must have been here, but Madeline did not know where he went afterward.
When she recalled the depth of Carter’s hatred for Jeremy, Madeline became more anxious.
“Jeremy. “ Madeline squeezed the ring and phone in her hand and gently called out Jeremy’s name.
“No, Eveline, you have to calm down, you must calm down.“
Madeline said repeatedly to keep her emotions in check and force herself to calm down.
She looked at the red dot on the phone, which indicated that Jeremy’s location was nearby, and then she recalled what happened this morning in her mind.
At the time, Fabian brought her here, but not long after she went inside, Carter came out of place. Since Carter had still been here at the time, Jeremy should be here as well.
“Is Jeremy still here?“
As she thought about this, Madeline’s heart skipped a beat.
It was getting late, and none of the lights here could be turned on. As such, Madeline could only rely on the light of her phone to look around.
However, she nearly searched the entire house and still could not find any trace of Jeremy.
Eventually, Madeline returned to Fabian’s villa in despair.
When Fabian saw that she was back, he told her immediately that there was news from the hospital that Carter was awake, but Carter was still a little confused.
