Chapter 23 1201 Vouchers Ronan's face was deathly pale . " You were waiting for me . " " A life for a life . We're even now . Mr. Soper , please take care of your health and stop using your life to threaten me . " She turned and walked away . Ronan yanked out the IV tube , the sharp needle scraping across the back of his hand , blood dripping down . He pulled Madison into a tight embrace , the veins on the back of his hand bulging with the force . " Don't leave me . Do you want me to rip out my heart before you'll forgive me ? " " Madi , baby , darling , I only made one mistake . Who in high society doesn't cheat ? Besides , I never truly betrayed you . " " Ronan , don't make me hate you even more . She shook off Ronan's hand . Ronan staggered back a few steps and collapsed onto the hospital bed , his wound splitting open , blood soaking the bandages . " You won't leave me , " Ronan said with certainty . " Lunatic . " Madison didn't look back and left quickly , When she opened the door to the hospital room , she found two burly Chapter 23 bodyguards standing outside , blocking her way . " Ronan , are you imprisoning me ? " 1208 Vouchers Ronan let out a low laugh . " It's not imprisonment . I just want to keep you by my side , to show you my sincerity . You'll fall in love with me again . He kept his word and took away Madison's phone . No matter how coldly Madison treated him , he acted as if he didn't notice . He behaved like a young man in love for the first time , carefully planning romance and surprises . He personally waited in line at a couple's restaurant , took photo booth pictures with Madison , set off fireworks all night in Miami , and when the Ferris wheel reached its highest point , he knelt down to propose to Madison . " They say if you make a wish when the Ferris wheel reaches the top , couples will be happy together for a lifetime . Madi , do you know what I wished for ? " Madison looked coldly at Ronan , who thought he was being romantic . " It has nothing to do with me . " Ronan's smile faltered for a moment , but he continued , " I wished that Madison and Ronan could be happy together for a lifetime , always together . " Just as the Ferris wheel was about to reach the top , it suddenly screeched to a halt , and the entire amusement park was plunged into darkness . Madison curled her lips in mockery . " Looks like even the heavens don't want us to last . " " No ! " His voice was a little shrill . 23.20 % Chapter 23 298 Vouchers But after only a few seconds , the amusement park switched to backup power , and the Ferris wheel slowly descended along the path it had come . Tonight , the Ferris wheel never reached its highest point . Ronan was haunted by a sense of foreboding , feeling that one day he would lose Madison - lose her forever . He was uncharacteristically silent as he brought Madison back to the Soper's villa . The villa looked just as it had when Madison left . Ronan had gone to great lengths to recover the lost furniture and decorations , and for those he couldn't find , he bought similar ones at a high price . But no matter how similar they were , they weren't the ones Madison had picked out herself . The villa felt like a soulless shell , silent and still . Only the lights on the second floor were on . Ronan led Madison to the door of a room and gently pushed it open . Inside was a nursery . The little child seemed to sense something , waving tiny hands and feet , babbling incoherently . Ronan picked up the child . The eyes and brows resembled Ronan , but the nose and mouth looked especially like Madison . " Ah ah , mama , ah ah ah ... " " Hold him . Everything I said before was a lie . This child is ours , belongs only to us , and has nothing to do with Eloise . " " Even if you hate me to the core , don't take it out on the child . He's your flesh and blood too . " Chapter 23 Madison had known this for a long time . She knew the moment she saw the child right after giving birth . " Take him away ." A look of pain appeared on Ronan's face again . " Madi , he's your child . Don't you care about him ? " " That's right . " Madison said calmly , without any attempt to hide her feelings . " Just thinking that half his blood comes from you makes me sick . " At that moment , Ronan realized clearly that there seemed to be nothing he could do to win Madison back . The phone rang , over and over again . For the past three days , in order to be with Madison , he had turned off his phone and cut off all contact with the outside world . His secretary had no choice but to call the Soper's villa directly . Ronan couldn't ignore it and picked up the phone . The secretary's anxious voice came through . " Mr. Soper , something terrible has happened . Someone is maliciously attacking our company . We've lost most of our orders . We couldn't reach you , and the company is about to go bankrupt . "
