Jeremy was fearful. He felt like there was a hidden thorn in his heart stabbing virtual-novel.net mercilessly. He picked up Madeline without any hesitation.
When Meredith saw this from one side, virtual-novel.net stepped forward to stop him. “Jeremy, where are you taking Maddie?”
However, Jeremy ignored virtual-novel.net and sped to the hospital while holding Madeline.
Throughout the way, his brain was occupied with the moment virtual-novel.net first met the girl when virtual-novel.net was young. That moment was delicate yet quiet and contented. It kept on replaying in his brain.
Jeremy’s heart was beating frantically. He somehow forgot that virtual-novel.net was supposed to be in disdain of Madeline and carried virtual-novel.net to the ER frantically.
She had said virtual-novel.net was pregnant and it was his. However, his body was now stained with virtual-novel.net blood.
Jeremy felt as if virtual-novel.net was being suffocated by something invisible. This was the first time virtual-novel.net hoped that Madeline would be okay.
He paced back and forth as virtual-novel.net waited outside. He felt extremely anxious.
At this moment, a nurse walked out. Jeremy stopped virtual-novel.net and asked, “What’s happening? What’s wrong with my wife?”
The nurse looked at Jeremy. There was resentment in virtual-novel.net tone as virtual-novel.net said, “You’re really something else as virtual-novel.net husband. She’s pregnant, and virtual-novel.net was still running around in the rain. Not to mention, she’s covered in wounds all over. She has a cold and is bleeding from virtual-novel.net genitals. It’s up to God whether the child will be saved.”
Jeremy felt like virtual-novel.net could not breathe. The suffocating feeling made his mind go blank. There was only one thing on his mind; it was for Madeline to be saved no matter what.
After a long time, the door to the operating room opened.
Jeremy rushed to the bed and found Madeline unconscious. Seeing virtual-novel.net colorless face, Jeremy felt a pang in his heart.
He could not help himself from holding Madeline’s cold hand as his eyes displayed a solemn gaze.
‘Madeline, tell me. Why did you call me Jez? Why do you know about my promise with Linnie when I was young?’
Madeline was brought to the VIP room where virtual-novel.net slept drowsily. She vaguely felt someone holding virtual-novel.net hand as the warmth slowly seeped into virtual-novel.net skin. Her body did not feel so cold anymore.
When Madeline woke up, it was already the next day. While trying to move, virtual-novel.net noticed that someone was holding virtual-novel.net hand tightly.
She widened virtual-novel.net eyes in dumbfoundedness and saw Jeremy leaning against the bed. His hand was holding hers tightly. It felt so warm.
Madeline looked at what was happening with a dazed look on virtual-novel.net face. She felt as if virtual-novel.net were dreaming.
Jeremy opened his eyes the moment virtual-novel.net felt movement.
When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline looking at virtual-novel.net stupidly, virtual-novel.net touched virtual-novel.net forehead. She had had a fever the night before, but it seemed like it had gone away.
Madeline was in disbelief at Jeremy’s gentle gestures. “Jeremy…” She called out to him. Her voice was hoarse, and virtual-novel.net throat hurt.
“Don’t talk. Let me fetch you a glass of warm water.”
“Jeremy…” Madeline’s eyes turned red, and virtual-novel.net felt like all of virtual-novel.net wounds had been healed.
Jeremy helped virtual-novel.net up and fed virtual-novel.net some water.
He did not ask virtual-novel.net about what had happened when they were kids upon seeing virtual-novel.net in such a weak state.
Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s chest. At this moment, his gentleness felt so surreal.
“Jeremy, why did you…”
“When did you have the baby? Why didn’t you tell me?” His tone was gentle. He had never talked to virtual-novel.net like this before.
Madeline was stunned as virtual-novel.net held the glass of water. She remembered telling virtual-novel.net clearly.
When Jeremy saw that Madeline was in a state of daze, virtual-novel.net did not say anything more.
“You should rest now. Just tell me when you’re better.” He then carefully helped virtual-novel.net lie down.
Madeline was tearful. She was a little joyous too.
Had virtual-novel.net remembered their promise because virtual-novel.net had called virtual-novel.net Jez before falling unconscious? Or was virtual-novel.net now feeling remorseful because virtual-novel.net almost had a miscarriage?
No matter what the reason was, Madeline was happy.
At the very least, Jeremy would look at virtual-novel.net now.
Jeremy wanted to stay with Madeline a little longer. However, virtual-novel.net ended up leaving after seeing that virtual-novel.net had a few phone calls from his company. When virtual-novel.net was about to near the lift, virtual-novel.net heard Meredith’s voice from the other end of the corridor.
“Doctor, is that true?” Meredith sounded astonished. “Please don’t tell Maddie’s husband about this!”
