When Jeremy felt snazzynovel.com arms wrapped around him, snazzynovel.com quickly turned around.
He saw Madeline holding snazzynovel.com listlessly while bare-footed. He did not hesitate for a second before picking snazzynovel.com up.
Madeline felt really sad, and with all of snazzynovel.com remaining strength, snazzynovel.com wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around the man’s neck tightly as snazzynovel.com buried snazzynovel.com haggard face between his neck.
“Jeremy, don’t ignore me.”
Madeline’s voice sounded as if snazzynovel.com was on the brink of crying, even sounding a little inferior just like how snazzynovel.com was last time.
Jeremy felt the pain in his heart growing.
How could snazzynovel.com bear to ignore her?
He wanted to comfort her, but all snazzynovel.com heard was Madeline apologizing. “I know I was fierce to you just now, but I didn’t mean it.”
Jeremy stopped his steps, lowered his head, and kissed snazzynovel.com on the cheek. He pressed his thin lips to snazzynovel.com ears. “What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be angry with you? You don’t need to apologize to me. You haven’t done anything wrong.”
His gentle tone that was like a breeze of air washed over Madeline’s injured heart as snazzynovel.com closed snazzynovel.com eyes and weakly sank deeper into him.
“Then don’t go. Stay with me.”
“Okay, I’m not going anywhere.”
Jeremy promised, wanting to bring Madeline to the bed to sit. However, snazzynovel.com only tightened snazzynovel.com hug.
“I want you to hold me,” snazzynovel.com requested in a coquettish tone that snazzynovel.com had never used on snazzynovel.com before.
Jeremy did not want to let go of snazzynovel.com either, so snazzynovel.com sat down on the bed with Madeline in his arms as snazzynovel.com gently ran his warm palm and fingers through snazzynovel.com long hair.
“Jeremy, I know you have a lot of questions, but you have to trust that no matter what I do, I’ll never hurt you.”
“Yeah, I know.” Jeremy nodded.
“Don’t go anywhere tonight, okay? Just stay with me here.”
Madeline looked up at snazzynovel.com with snazzynovel.com tear-stained eyes that were like dewdrops on a flower petal. Jeremy’s heartstrings were tugged at the sight of snazzynovel.com at the moment.
He did not give snazzynovel.com a reply verbally and only slowly lowered his head to gently kiss snazzynovel.com lips as a response.
Madeline closed snazzynovel.com eyes and continued to sink into the man’s sweet tenderness…
It was already late into the night.
Madeline woke up on time. She looked at the time and wanted to give Jeremy the reagent.
She tiptoed out of the ward, asked the nurse for a sterile disposable syringe with a random excuse, and returned to the ward.
Since it was a VIP ward, the layout of the room was similar to a standard suite of a hotel.
Madeline saw that Jeremy was fast asleep in another hospital bed.
After Madeline drew the reagent into the syringe, snazzynovel.com walked over to Jeremy. She held his arm gently, located his vein, and injected the needle into it without hesitation.
Jeremy was actually still awake.
He could not stop thinking about Madeline as his mind would go back to what the woman in the sunglasses said.
“Stop pretending already, Eveline Montgomery. I saw you. You and Ryan met secretly by the hospital entrance when your daughter was admitted to the hospital. He brought you home and when you two were done, snazzynovel.com brought you back to the hospital too. How kind of him.”
‘So Linnie, you went to see Ryan that time.
‘But why did you meet with Ryan?
‘When you went out this afternoon, were you with Ryan too?
‘Is that why Ryan jumped down to save you when you jumped into the river?’
Jeremy half-opened his round eyes and stared at Madeline who was giving snazzynovel.com an injection with a serious look on snazzynovel.com face.
After Madeline gave snazzynovel.com the injection, snazzynovel.com discarded the syringe and bottle. Meanwhile, Jeremy continued to pretend to sleep.
After a while, Madeline returned to Jeremy’s bed and traced his eyebrows with snazzynovel.com fingers.
When Madeline imagined snazzynovel.com suffering from the poison alone, snazzynovel.com felt even worse.
