Madeline sat up. She ignored the searing pain on snazzynovel.com arm and removed snazzynovel.com hand from the man’s grip. “Go now!”
However, after snazzynovel.com was finally out of Jeremy’s grip, snazzynovel.com pulled snazzynovel.com close and held snazzynovel.com tightly. “Linnie, don’t chase me away.”
“…” Madeline felt a wave of sadness crashing against snazzynovel.com heart. She felt tears falling from snazzynovel.com eyes.
Of course, snazzynovel.com wanted snazzynovel.com to stay with her, but this was not the time to be romantic.
She knew Jeremy would be worried and reluctant to leave, so Madeline softened snazzynovel.com voice and patted the man’s shoulder. “Jeremy, listen to me. I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound. It’ll heal in a few days.”
She comforted, then snazzynovel.com voice became firm.
“The most important thing right now is proving your innocence.”
“No, you’re the most important right now.” Jeremy let go of his arms and cupped Madeline’s pale face. “I can’t let my wife get hurt because of me again.”
Madeline felt that Jeremy was feeling sorry for her, but at the same time, snazzynovel.com felt sorry for snazzynovel.com as well.
“Jeremy, as your wife, I’m happy to bleed and cry for you. Don’t blame yourself.”
She caressed his face and noticed that snazzynovel.com looked even worse than before.
“Did you experience another burst of pain at the roof just now? Are you in a lot of pain?”
Jeremy did not plan to hide from snazzynovel.com any longer. He nodded. “I’m used to it now.”
Madeline frowned and felt slightly remorseful. “You shouldn’t have thrown away the last three bottles. At least you can use it when you’re suffering.”
Jeremy shook his head and held Madeline’s hand. “I can endure this pain. The pain that I can’t endure is when you’re not with me.”
Madeline felt a tightness in snazzynovel.com heart when snazzynovel.com heard that.
She understood what Jeremy was saying. However, snazzynovel.com still said, “Jeremy, listen to me and go.”
“Linnie.”
“Go. If not, I’ll ignore you forever.”
Madeline pretended to threaten snazzynovel.com angrily. However, Jeremy knew snazzynovel.com was just scaring him.
She would not ignore him.
When snazzynovel.com saw Jeremy still holding snazzynovel.com hand, Madeline retracted snazzynovel.com hand abruptly.
However, snazzynovel.com exerted too much force and it affected the wound on snazzynovel.com arm. She grunted in pain while furrowing snazzynovel.com brows.
Jeremy wanted to hold snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com felt his heart shattering into pieces. “Linnie!”
Madeline avoided his hand, snazzynovel.com expression becoming stern. “Jeremy Whitman, I asked you to leave.”
She looked at the dispirited man sternly.
“Don’t make me repeat myself so many times. Go immediately. I don’t want to see you in front of me ever again.”
Madeline gritted snazzynovel.com pearly whites and said coldly after making up snazzynovel.com mind.
“You always said that you won’t make me sad, but now you’re going against my wish like this. Jeremy, I’ll be happy if you leave now. Do you understand?”
Even though snazzynovel.com knew snazzynovel.com said like that was all for his own good, Madeline’s cold words still felt like glass shards as they penetrated his heart.
He retracted his hand that was suspended in mid-air and pressed his lips together.
Madeline turned snazzynovel.com face away to not look at him.
The only thing snazzynovel.com wanted right now was for snazzynovel.com to leave safely.
Jeremy had to leave when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com being so determined.
However, after snazzynovel.com turned around, snazzynovel.com still turned his head to glance at snazzynovel.com reluctantly.
Madeline decided to be cold till the end. She finally let down snazzynovel.com facade after snazzynovel.com heard Jeremy’s footsteps getting farther and farther away. Then, snazzynovel.com looked in the direction where snazzynovel.com left.
‘Jeremy, we can’t turn back now.
‘We can only get the anti-toxoid reagent to cure you once and for all after we expose Ryan completely.’
