She could even feel his strong, powerful heartbeat.
But what was going on?
She tried hard to recall what happened last night, but virtual-novel.net only remembered that virtual-novel.net ran out as virtual-novel.net didn’t want Jeremy to see virtual-novel.net current hideous appearance. Alas, virtual-novel.net fainted while running.
Just as virtual-novel.net was trying to recall what happened, Jeremy seemed to have woken up.
Overcome by shock, Madeline immediately closed virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net heart beating so fast to the point it almost jumped out of virtual-novel.net throat.
Jeremy opened his eyes and gradually raised the arm virtual-novel.net had around Madeline’s waist, then proceeded to get off the bed.
Madeline thought that Jeremy left at first, but virtual-novel.net suddenly felt his breath closing in on her. The next moment, his forehead leaned against hers as if virtual-novel.net were sensing virtual-novel.net body temperature.
Madeline didn’t dare to believe Jeremy’s current actions. Even more so, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to believe that virtual-novel.net tucked virtual-novel.net into the blanket attentively before leaving.
Madeline finally opened virtual-novel.net eyes after hearing the sound of the door closing.
She saw two boxes of medicine placed on top of the bedside cabinet. There was a box of anti-inflammatory medications and painkillers, respectively.
The wound on virtual-novel.net face had also been treated and was freshly wrapped up with gauze.
Madeline picked up both boxes of medicine unbelievingly. How was this possible?
However, virtual-novel.net suddenly recalled shouting Jeremy’s name toward virtual-novel.net yesterday night before virtual-novel.net fainted. Could his heart have softened because of this? So does that mean that virtual-novel.net actually still remembers their promise from the start?
Madeline’s train of thought was messed up immediately as an inexplicable sense of eagerness arose in virtual-novel.net heart.
However, it only lasted momentarily. Her heart still cooled down quickly.
There wasn’t much left of virtual-novel.net life any longer. The best evidence for this was the fatal pain virtual-novel.net felt yesterday.
Also, his ruthlessness that knew no limits and failure to distinguish between the good and the bad had created an insurmountable gap between them both.
She could forgive virtual-novel.net for anything except what virtual-novel.net did to their own flesh and blood. That was something that virtual-novel.net could never forgive no matter the circumstances.
After cleaning up and brushing virtual-novel.net teeth, Madeline made some porridge for herself.
She received a phone call from Felipe. His words were full of care and virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net could call virtual-novel.net anytime if virtual-novel.net had anything virtual-novel.net needed help with.
On this cold, frigid day, Madeline felt as if a ray of radiant sunshine shone into virtual-novel.net heart.
Although virtual-novel.net life may not last for long, virtual-novel.net was still happy that virtual-novel.net could meet a friend that truly cared for herself at times like this.
The porridge was ready. Just as Madeline was about to prepare to eat, the door suddenly opened.
She stared dumbfoundedly at the man who stepped into the room. When Jeremy directed his deep gaze toward her, Madeline was so shocked that the spoon in virtual-novel.net hand fell into the bowl with a loud ‘clang’, the porridge splashing onto the back of virtual-novel.net hand. Madeline let out a muffled noise and retracted virtual-novel.net hand reflexively.
Why was virtual-novel.net back again?
Madeline stood up in a hurry. Just as virtual-novel.net was thinking of escaping, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net arm suddenly.
He exerted some force and pulled Madeline before him.
“You’re that unwilling to see me? Is it because all you see and hold in your heart is that Mr. Whitman?” virtual-novel.net asked.
There was a certain sourness to his tone of voice, but Madeline didn’t think that it was Jeremy being jealous.
He was just unhappy that the person that used to bend to all of his wills actually managed to get along with a man of similar status as him.
Madeline smiled bitterly and raised virtual-novel.net eyes to meet Jeremy’s angry, peach-shaped eyes. “Yes, there’s a Mr. Whitman in my heart. But virtual-novel.net has been dead to me from the moment virtual-novel.net murdered our child in a frenzy,” virtual-novel.net declared.
