Jeremy’s face appeared worried, but snazzynovel.com was still blankly looking for Madeline’s figure in the darkness.
Although Madeline was no longer a weak woman, snazzynovel.com was still inevitably surprised when a gecko had crawled to snazzynovel.com side so suddenly. She also did not expect Jeremy to just suddenly enter so anxiously.
“Linnie? What happened to you? Where are you?” Jeremy fumbled around. There was intense uneasiness and worry in his tone.
Madeline was standing aside, and snazzynovel.com saw how Jeremy was searching for snazzynovel.com in confusion as snazzynovel.com heart trembled secretly.
“Linnie, please answer me quickly. Where are you?” snazzynovel.com asked again nervously. Madeline could no longer remain silent.
“I’m here.”
As soon as snazzynovel.com heard Madeline’s voice, Jeremy followed the direction it came from. The moment snazzynovel.com touched Madeline’s body, snazzynovel.com embraced snazzynovel.com tightly while wishing snazzynovel.com could melt snazzynovel.com into his own blood.
“Are you alright?” His low voice was trembling with a hint of tension.
Madeline was stunned for two seconds before snazzynovel.com replied, “I’m fine. I saw a gecko that was crawling around just now, so I screamed a little.”
“Glad to know that. I’m glad to know you’re fine.” He seemed to only be able to give a sigh of relief now.
Although snazzynovel.com was obviously the one who was surprised, it was snazzynovel.com who was frightened.
Thinking of Jeremy’s reaction just now, Madeline smiled lightly and said in a playful tone, “Mr. Whitman, don’t you already have a new love interest? And don’t you no longer care about your ex-wife from a long time ago? Why are you worrying about whether I’m alright now?”
Hearing snazzynovel.com words, Jeremy realized that snazzynovel.com had lost his composure.
However, snazzynovel.com had already in fact lost his composure ever since the three gangsters were planning to dally with Madeline.
He could pretend that snazzynovel.com had let go of the past, but during the emergency situation just now, snazzynovel.com could not ignore snazzynovel.com existence.
Jeremy quickly released his hand. “Miss Montgomery is a woman, so as a man, I need to give a helping hand when a woman is in danger.” He found a very reasonable excuse for himself.
“Oh…” Madeline responded meaningfully, “Then, Mr. Whitman, as such a good man who is so helpful, why did you treat your weak ex-wife so cruelly?”
As the words left snazzynovel.com mouth, a trace of regret appeared on Jeremy’s face.
Madeline picked up the bathrobe beside snazzynovel.com hand and covered snazzynovel.com body quickly.
“Mr. Whitman, you should also take a bath. I don’t want you to catch a cold because of me again,” snazzynovel.com said as snazzynovel.com put the daily necessities along with the bathrobe on the shelf. “Don’t let your wound come in touch with water to avoid inflammation. I’ll be right outside. If you need any assistance, you may call for me.”
Madeline walked out of the bathroom after snazzynovel.com said snazzynovel.com words.
She glanced at snazzynovel.com again before snazzynovel.com closed the door and left.
After a short while, Madeline could hear the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom.
Someone had knocked on the door then. She went to open the door and found that the proprietress had brought two cups of ginger tea.
Madeline felt snazzynovel.com heart warm up as snazzynovel.com said, “My lady, you’re too thoughtful.”
The proprietress smiled, putting down the cups and saucers. “It’s your boyfriend who’s considerate. He was worried that you might catch a cold from the rain, so snazzynovel.com specifically asked me to brew this for you.”
Madeline was surprised when snazzynovel.com heard this from the proprietress.
She only came back to snazzynovel.com senses when snazzynovel.com heard a crash from the bathroom. By then, snazzynovel.com had realized that the proprietress was gone.
Madeline walked toward the bathroom door, guessing that Jeremy might have bumped into something since snazzynovel.com was unable to see.
She thought Jeremy would call snazzynovel.com for help, but snazzynovel.com did not say anything until snazzynovel.com came out of the shower.
Madeline looked at the man who was walking forward cautiously. With a loose bathrobe draped over him, snazzynovel.com walked slowly. A few strands of his hair on his forehead were still dripping with drops of water, adding a bit of bewitching charm on such a night.
Madeline handed a cup of ginger tea to Jeremy. “Drink this ginger tea from the proprietress.”
