The previously blurry memories from right before virtual-novel.net succumbed to darkness finally cleared, and virtual-novel.net remembered how Jeremy had suddenly appeared to save virtual-novel.net in time.
She remembered how virtual-novel.net had held virtual-novel.net tightly and comforted virtual-novel.net as well as how virtual-novel.net had leaned into his embrace from how safe virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net feel…
Madeline’s heart began to race, thumping a familiar beat in virtual-novel.net chest.
She bit virtual-novel.net lip and clenched virtual-novel.net fists.
‘No. How could I possibly fall for virtual-novel.net all over again?
‘I hate him!
‘The love within me died with every push toward the deep end virtual-novel.net forced me to take.
‘It’s like how drowning survivors would never yearn for the sea again.
‘But I promise I’ll let you know how it feels to be suffocated, Jeremy.’
…
Eloise returned to Meredith’s hospital room where Jeremy arrived shortly after.
Eloise seemed proud of herself at Jeremy’s arrival, thinking that virtual-novel.net words must have gotten through to him.
“Took you long enough to start worrying about Meredith.” Eloise’s tone was cold.
“Meredith has gone through too much, Jeremy. I can’t believe virtual-novel.net got… taken advantage of by four different men. Stay by virtual-novel.net side, Jeremy. I’m scared that virtual-novel.net might take virtual-novel.net life lightly because this burden is too much for virtual-novel.net to handle…” Rose wiped a tear sorrowfully, playing the part of a broken-hearted mother.
Jeremy frowned, directing the frost in his gaze to Rose.
Amid virtual-novel.net fake crying, Rose averted virtual-novel.net gaze immediately when they met Jeremy’s suspicious ones.
“I thought you were watching Meredith this entire time? How did virtual-novel.net end up at the waste paper factory in the west?”
“I went to get virtual-novel.net some water, but Meredith was gone when I returned,” Rose stuttered to explain.
“I thought virtual-novel.net legs were fractured? How could virtual-novel.net suddenly walk again?”
“It… Someone must’ve planned to take Meredith away!” Rose lied. “It must be Vera. She must’ve told someone to kidnap Meredith!”
Jeremy’s gaze hardened. “What evidence do you have to support your claim that Vera did it? I suggest you watch your words before you baselessly accuse others.”
“…” Rose was left speechless. In the face of Jeremy’s icy gaze, Rose felt beads of cold sweat form from all the pressure virtual-novel.net was feeling.
“I’ll definitely find the evidence to prove that it was her!” Eloise suddenly proclaimed, “Only virtual-novel.net would hurt Meredith in such a ruthless way!”
Jeremy’s sharp brows frowned at virtual-novel.net words. Just as virtual-novel.net parted his lips to speak, a nurse exited the room. “She’s awake, but virtual-novel.net emotions are rather unstable. Try not to upset her.”
“Meredith,” Eloise exclaimed heart-wrenchingly, distress apparent on virtual-novel.net features.
She pushed the door to enter only to be held back by Rose. “I think the person Meredith wants to see the most now is Jeremy, Mrs. Montgomery. I’m sure you have a lot to say to her, Jeremy. We should let them spend some time together first!”
Eloise agreed.
Sparing the inside of the room a worried glance, virtual-novel.net turned to exhort Jeremy. “Go in and comfort Meredith, alright? Don’t hurt virtual-novel.net anymore!”
Ignoring Eloise, Jeremy pushed open the door and walked inside.
The VIP room was very spacious. Upon entering, Jeremy realized that the bed was empty and Meredith was nowhere to be found.
He lifted his eyes to look in the direction of the balcony but suddenly heard movement in the bathroom.
Turning around, Jeremy walked over to the bathroom. Its door was wide open. The sound of water gushing from the showerhead met his ears just as his eyes fell on Meredith.
Jeremy felt a strong physical manifestation of disgust at the sight of Meredith that very moment. He spun around and averted his gaze.
