Chapter 67


    For a moment, no one reacted.


    The two of them stood rooted to the ground.


    The light from the phone passed through the gaps between her fingers. A beam of light seemed to


    pass through the dust and stand between the two of them.


    Madison looked at his deep eyes and suddenly remembered the wet warmth on her wrist. She felt a


    little shy at that moment.


    It was also this action that woke her up suddenly. She withdrew her hand exaggeratedly and turned her


    back to Le


    Even though there was no mirror in the elevator and she could not see her face clearly, Madison could


    feel how hot her face was. She felt her ears burning.


    She took a deep breath and cursed herself in her heart.


    ‘How useless! He had only touched your hand once. Was that all


    Il vou could do? Madison! Where is the ability to touch his abs just now?”


    Just as she was thinking about it with her back facing Leo, the man’s deep voice suddenly came from


    behind her. His voice was already much clearer than before.


    “Madison, are you shy? But when I first regained consciousness, weren’t you still…”


    “Shut up!” Madison interrupted him angrily and turned around to re at him.


    Leo suddenly smiled. His dark eyes were filled with smiles. Under the dim light of the phone, it looked


    gentle. “Am I right?”/


    “Shut up!” Madison interrupted him angrily and sna tched the phone from his hand.


    She wanted to turn off the shlight on her phone, but after some thought, she decided. to leave it at


    that.


    However, she refused to raise her hand to look at Leo again. She leaned against the wall and lowered


    her head,


    She didn’t move, but the man moved closer.


    Although his voice was much clearer, he did not seem to have fully recovered. His tone sounded a little


    tired.


    “Are you really angry? I just touched your hand. I didn’t say anything when you touched. me just


    now…”


    “Leo, I told you to shut up!”


    “Yes, we just touched hands. What’s the big deal? Why do you keep harping on it?” Madison thought


    angrily.


    Madison lowered her head. The corners of her eyes were slightly red. She held her phone in one hand


    and kept rubbing her fingertips with the other as if she could crase all the traces of her fingertips that he


    had touched just now.


    Leo did not say anything else. He stood side by side with Madison and looked down at her small


    actions.


    For some reason, his heart felt like it was stabbed by something.


    “Not only did I touch your hand, but I also touched your wrist when I just woke up. I might have touched


    other parts of your body when I wasn’t conscious. Do you have to wipe them clean one by one?” Leo


    asked.


    His voice was very cold as he spoke word by word. He watched as Madison stopped her small actions.


    Madison finally raised her head. Her stubborn gaze met his.


    However, she didn’t say anything. She just took a step to the side with a cold expression and turned off


    the light on her phone.


    ‘I will not listen to you!’ Madison thought.


    The darkness filled the narrow space again. His eyes, which had finally adapted to the darkness,


    suddenly lost their light. He seemed to have lost his backbone.


    Leo subconsciously moved closer to Madison.


    Madison did not realize that something was wrong. She snorted coldly. “You have your phone. If you


    really can’t stay in this dark ce, take your phone. Don’t get too close to me!”


    Leo didn’t say anything, but his breathing became heavier.


    Madison finally realized something and turned to look at him.


    When her pupils adjusted to the light in the elevator, she saw Leo’s uneasy face and his clenched fists.


    She seemed to have discovered something fun and suddenly smiled. “Leo, so you’re afraid of the


    dark?”


    What a surprise.


    No one would believe that the CEO of Palmer Group, who was in charge of strategizing, was afraid of


    the dark!


    Madison could not help but smile. Her embarrassment from being teased by Leo earlier had been


    swept away.


    “It’s okay. There’s always something to be afraid of. You have to be strong.”


    She did not tease him anymore. She just reached out and patted Leo’s shoulder before returning to her


    original spot.


    He teased her, and she teased him back, so the two of them were even.


    She would always reconcile with herself.


    “Madison…”


    After staying in the darkness for a while, the man beside her finally could not help but speak. His voice


    returned to its previous tiredne


    “Can you take my phone out for me?”


    Madison ignored him and turned around. He did not expect Leo to be so serious.


    ustrophobia.


    A professional term for psychoanalysis suddenly appeared in her mind.


    She also realized that Leo might not be afraid of the dark, but ustrophobic.


    However, didn’t people who had such symptoms usually suffer some inhuman punishment and were


    always locked up in a small ck room?


    Although Edgar and Amber were too strict with Leo and had arranged everything for him since he was


    young, they shouldn’t have locked him up, right?


    However, Madison did not have time to think. Afraid that Leo would lose consciousness in the darkness


    again, she quickly reached for his phone.


    “Leo, hold on! I’ll turn on the light immediately!”


    However, the more anxious she was, the more flustered she became.


    If she only wanted light, she could have just taken out her phone. However, she subconsciously


    listened to Leo’s instructions and took his phone.


    Madison also thought of this when the weight on her shoulder came again.


    ‘Why didn’t I just take out my phone?’ she thought.


    What was even more despairing was that the man did not seem to have any


    consciousness this time. She was not prepared to help him up. She fell heavily to the ground with Leo,


    making a loud sound.


    Madison also knocked the back of her head and felt her vision go nk.


    When she opened her eyes, there was also a dazzling light.

    The elevator doors opened.


    Madison had never thought that such an embarrassing thing would happen to her.


    Her hair was disheveled, and there was a tall man on top of her. They were lying on the ground in a


    sorry state and were surrounded by a group of people.


    She even wanted to die..


    When the weight on her body moved away, she propped herself up on her elbows and sat up in the


    narrow space. Her mind was still muddled.


    “Jessica, are you alright?”


    It was Joe who squeezed through the staff, his face full of worry.


    The moment she saw Joe, she finally could not hold back her grievance of being trapped in the


    elevator. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into Joe’s arms.


    “What took you so long? I’ve been in there for a long time.”


    “It was you who snuck out alone without telling anyone. I couldn’t get through to your phone. It was


    Samuel who found you ording to your phone’sst location,” Joe said.


    Although it was safer in the country, who knew if it would be dangerous? After all, John had been


    kidnapped when he was young.


    Joe was a little angry. However, when he saw her aggrieved expression, he could not help but coax


    her. “Alright, alright. Fortunately, the elevator is only stuck. It’s not a big deal.”


    Madison nodded as well. She pulled Joe to her side and asked him to look down at her broken high


    heels. “My shoes are broken…”

    Joe was so angry that heughed. He patted her head and said, “I’ll buy a you.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a h oa rse and low yoice behind him.


    “Mrs. Palmer, the shoes were broken because of me. Even if you want to ask somebody.
