I'm not sure what adhesive remover you used, but if it is alcohol or water based, it should evaporate over time. However, it may leave some traces behind. I would start by turning the laptop off and disconnecting the battery (if possible) and letting things dry. Opening the display assembly is very difficult on these models so this may be your only option.

Try to leave the laptop somewhere warm and dry to speed up the evaporation, and cross your fingers that the display isn't damaged.
