Meredith touched virtual-novel.net face in horror. When virtual-novel.net felt a warm and sticky liquid running down virtual-novel.net cheek, virtual-novel.net pupils constricted. “Blood! There’s so much blood! My face!”
She looked at virtual-novel.net bloody palm and screamed. Her face was much paler now that virtual-novel.net was losing blood profusely.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net head and saw the lacerated flesh on Meredith’s right cheek. She was surprised, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net felt that it was truly ironic. At the sight before her, virtual-novel.net smiled.
She did not expect that Meredith would be disfigured one day.
Was this karma?
“Mer, Mer, don’t be scared. Jeremy’s here. He won’t let anything happen to you!” Rose ran up to virtual-novel.net to comfort her. At the same time, virtual-novel.net did not forget to involve Jeremy in this.
“Jeremy, take Mer to the doctor to bandage virtual-novel.net wounds. If not, she’ll have a scar on virtual-novel.net face. It’ll be bad if that happens,” Rose said hurriedly, pushing Meredith to Jeremy.
Meredith lifted virtual-novel.net tearful eyes to look at Jeremy who was still holding Madeline. “Jeremy, my face. My face… Am I hideous?”
“Jeremy, why are you still here? Mer is bleeding so much. She’ll die!” Rose said in exaggeration.
Meredith lifted virtual-novel.net head to see Jeremy frowning, looking like virtual-novel.net was contemplating something.
However, in the next second, virtual-novel.net let go of his arms that were around Madeline. He looked as if virtual-novel.net was going to Meredith.
Just then, Madeline let out a low groan.
Jeremy shifted his gaze that was on Meredith to Madeline in the next second.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t mind me, Mr. Whitman. I think I twisted my ankle. You should bring the noble Miss Crawford to bandage virtual-novel.net face, just in case virtual-novel.net dies from blood loss.”
Madeline’s words were laced with sarcasm. Rose and Meredith scowled at her, but they did not dare to argue with Madeline at this moment.
“Jeremy, Meredith is looking worse. Hurry up and—”
“You should bring virtual-novel.net over first.” Jeremy interrupted Rose with a flat tone. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “I’ll take you to the orthopedics.”
“…” Meredith and Rose were astonished.
Madeline looked at the mother-daughter duo in awkwardness. “Don’t you think this is inappropriate?”
“It’ll be even worse if you’re hurt in any way,” Jeremy answered while placing his arm across Madeline’s shoulder. Then, virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms.
“Jeremy! Jeremy, a-are you really going to ignore me? Jeremy…” Meredith was in pain and was frantic.
Madeline curled the corner of virtual-novel.net lips into a slight smile. She was over the moon when virtual-novel.net thought about Meredith’s frustration and agitation.
Back then, how many times did virtual-novel.net beg virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net had his back against her? Still, virtual-novel.net would always walk away with no regard for her.
Now, the tables had turned. She was not the one suffering anymore.
Rose stomped virtual-novel.net feet in anger when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy ignoring Meredith while walking away with Madeline. “Mer, hurry! I’ll take you to the emergency department. You can’t have a scar on your face no matter what. If not, you’ll really lose Jeremy!”
When Meredith heard Rose saying that, virtual-novel.net was fuming. However, virtual-novel.net could only do what virtual-novel.net was told.
“Vera Quinn, keep this in mind, I’ll make sure you pay for what you did!” She glared at Madeline’s back as virtual-novel.net swore. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around reluctantly.
“Are you really going to ignore your fiancé, Mr. Whitman? She might have a scar on virtual-novel.net face,” Madeline deliberately asked virtual-novel.net this question.
Jeremy stopped, and there was a thought-provoking glint in his deep eyes. “Compared to virtual-novel.net scars, I’m more concerned about whether your leg is hurting right now.”
His answer was out of Madeline’s expectation.
Her leg was fine. She had only said that to make Jeremy stay.
However, now that virtual-novel.net mentioned it, virtual-novel.net frowned and nodded. “A little.”
There was a hint of worry in Jeremy’s eyes after virtual-novel.net heard that. In the next second, virtual-novel.net circled his arm around Madeline’s lithe waist and lifted virtual-novel.net off virtual-novel.net feet.
Madeline was unprepared and did not see this coming.
However, at this moment, virtual-novel.net was already being carried bridal-style by Jeremy.
“You shouldn’t be in as much pain now.” He gave virtual-novel.net an explanation, his voice caressing virtual-novel.net ear like a gentle breeze.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net eyes to look at virtual-novel.net in shock. From this angle, virtual-novel.net could see Jeremy’s resolute and perfect jawline. His side profile was very good-looking despite the coldness in his eyes. However, at this moment, the warmth in his chest was seeping into virtual-novel.net skin through his thin shirt. It was scorching and apparent.
However, Madeline did not feel moved nor touched.
She looked at Jeremy’s side profile while slowly clenching virtual-novel.net fists. She felt a sense of mockery in virtual-novel.net heart.
‘Jeremy, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for his hug?”
