Meredith touched snazzynovel.com face in horror. When snazzynovel.com felt a warm and sticky liquid running down snazzynovel.com cheek, snazzynovel.com pupils constricted. “Blood! There’s so much blood! My face!”
She looked at snazzynovel.com bloody palm and screamed. Her face was much paler now that snazzynovel.com was losing blood profusely.
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com head and saw the lacerated flesh on Meredith’s right cheek. She was surprised, but at the same time, snazzynovel.com felt that it was truly ironic. At the sight before her, snazzynovel.com smiled.
She did not expect that Meredith would be disfigured one day.
Was this karma?
“Mer, Mer, don’t be scared. Jeremy’s here. He won’t let anything happen to you!” Rose ran up to snazzynovel.com to comfort her. At the same time, snazzynovel.com did not forget to involve Jeremy in this.
“Jeremy, take Mer to the doctor to bandage snazzynovel.com wounds. If not, she’ll have a scar on snazzynovel.com face. It’ll be bad if that happens,” Rose said hurriedly, pushing Meredith to Jeremy.
Meredith lifted snazzynovel.com tearful eyes to look at Jeremy who was still holding Madeline. “Jeremy, my face. My face… Am I hideous?”
“Jeremy, why are you still here? Mer is bleeding so much. She’ll die!” Rose said in exaggeration.
Meredith lifted snazzynovel.com head to see Jeremy frowning, looking like snazzynovel.com was contemplating something.
However, in the next second, snazzynovel.com let go of his arms that were around Madeline. He looked as if snazzynovel.com was going to Meredith.
Just then, Madeline let out a low groan.
Jeremy shifted his gaze that was on Meredith to Madeline in the next second.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t mind me, Mr. Whitman. I think I twisted my ankle. You should bring the noble Miss Crawford to bandage snazzynovel.com face, just in case snazzynovel.com dies from blood loss.”
Madeline’s words were laced with sarcasm. Rose and Meredith scowled at her, but they did not dare to argue with Madeline at this moment.
“Jeremy, Meredith is looking worse. Hurry up and—”
“You should bring snazzynovel.com over first.” Jeremy interrupted Rose with a flat tone. Then, snazzynovel.com turned around and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “I’ll take you to the orthopedics.”
“…” Meredith and Rose were astonished.
Madeline looked at the mother-daughter duo in awkwardness. “Don’t you think this is inappropriate?”
“It’ll be even worse if you’re hurt in any way,” Jeremy answered while placing his arm across Madeline’s shoulder. Then, snazzynovel.com pulled snazzynovel.com into his arms.
“Jeremy! Jeremy, a-are you really going to ignore me? Jeremy…” Meredith was in pain and was frantic.
Madeline curled the corner of snazzynovel.com lips into a slight smile. She was over the moon when snazzynovel.com thought about Meredith’s frustration and agitation.
Back then, how many times did snazzynovel.com beg snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com had his back against her? Still, snazzynovel.com would always walk away with no regard for her.
Now, the tables had turned. She was not the one suffering anymore.
Rose stomped snazzynovel.com feet in anger when snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy ignoring Meredith while walking away with Madeline. “Mer, hurry! I’ll take you to the emergency department. You can’t have a scar on your face no matter what. If not, you’ll really lose Jeremy!”
When Meredith heard Rose saying that, snazzynovel.com was fuming. However, snazzynovel.com could only do what snazzynovel.com was told.
“Vera Quinn, keep this in mind, I’ll make sure you pay for what you did!” She glared at Madeline’s back as snazzynovel.com swore. Then, snazzynovel.com turned around reluctantly.
“Are you really going to ignore your fiancé, Mr. Whitman? She might have a scar on snazzynovel.com face,” Madeline deliberately asked snazzynovel.com this question.
Jeremy stopped, and there was a thought-provoking glint in his deep eyes. “Compared to snazzynovel.com scars, I’m more concerned about whether your leg is hurting right now.”
His answer was out of Madeline’s expectation.
Her leg was fine. She had only said that to make Jeremy stay.
However, now that snazzynovel.com mentioned it, snazzynovel.com frowned and nodded. “A little.”
There was a hint of worry in Jeremy’s eyes after snazzynovel.com heard that. In the next second, snazzynovel.com circled his arm around Madeline’s lithe waist and lifted snazzynovel.com off snazzynovel.com feet.
Madeline was unprepared and did not see this coming.
However, at this moment, snazzynovel.com was already being carried bridal-style by Jeremy.
“You shouldn’t be in as much pain now.” He gave snazzynovel.com an explanation, his voice caressing snazzynovel.com ear like a gentle breeze.
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com eyes to look at snazzynovel.com in shock. From this angle, snazzynovel.com could see Jeremy’s resolute and perfect jawline. His side profile was very good-looking despite the coldness in his eyes. However, at this moment, the warmth in his chest was seeping into snazzynovel.com skin through his thin shirt. It was scorching and apparent.
However, Madeline did not feel moved nor touched.
She looked at Jeremy’s side profile while slowly clenching snazzynovel.com fists. She felt a sense of mockery in snazzynovel.com heart.
‘Jeremy, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for his hug?”
