Maybe it was out of surprise, but Madeline’s heart skipped a beat.
She wanted to ignore the man on the floor at first, but when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy’s brows knitted together and the way virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net was in pain, virtual-novel.net subconsciously squatted down before taking his temperature.
His cheek was cold, but his forehead was burning.
When virtual-novel.net got closer to him, aside from his scent, there was also a strong smell of alcohol.
He had drunk a lot and even stayed out in the cold wind the entire night. It was likely virtual-novel.net was suffering from a fever now.
Madeline did not want anything to do with Jeremy, so virtual-novel.net thought of calling 911 so that the ambulance could take virtual-novel.net away instead. When virtual-novel.net turned around to do so, however, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net hand.
His hand was so cold, feeling as if it had been frozen into ice. The coldness from his hand penetrated virtual-novel.net bones.
“Don’t go…” virtual-novel.net muttered like virtual-novel.net was still in a dream, his eyelashes moving slightly. Then, virtual-novel.net slowly opened his narrow eyes.
“Don’t go, please?”
He closed his eyes again after virtual-novel.net said that.
Madeline frowned in dissatisfaction. She tried to get virtual-novel.net to let go of her, but the more virtual-novel.net struggled, the tighter virtual-novel.net held on to her.
“Jeremy, let go of me.”
“No. I won’t let you go again…”
He was still unconscious, but it was as if virtual-novel.net was replying to her.
Madeline did not have a choice, so virtual-novel.net could only put up with him. “Okay, I won’t go, but can you not hold onto me like that?”
Jeremy opened his eyes again drowsily when virtual-novel.net heard Madeline’s voice. Her stunning face was reflected in his hazy eyes.
Even though virtual-novel.net was not willing to do so, virtual-novel.net could only help virtual-novel.net into virtual-novel.net house while virtual-novel.net was half-conscious.
She was five foot five and dragging a six foot one man. Then, virtual-novel.net threw virtual-novel.net onto the bed of the guest room.
She wanted to give virtual-novel.net an antipyretic, but when virtual-novel.net turned around, the man grabbed virtual-novel.net again.
“You said you won’t leave.” His eyes were half-closed. He sounded a little childish when virtual-novel.net said that.
Madeline swung away his hand impatiently. “I won’t break a promise like you. When I say I won’t leave, it means that I won’t.”
She glared at virtual-novel.net in disdain. Then, virtual-novel.net fetched the antipyretic and a glass of warm water.
When virtual-novel.net returned, Jeremy had already fallen into a deep slumber. He could not take the medicine nor drink the water.
Madeline took his temperature with a thermometer and virtual-novel.net indeed had a fever.
In this situation, virtual-novel.net could only cool Jeremy down physically so that virtual-novel.net would feel better.
However, when virtual-novel.net was wiping his body with alcohol, virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net fist and got up abruptly when virtual-novel.net looked at his sleeping face.
‘Eveline Montgomery, what the hell are you doing?
‘Why are you taking care of him?
‘Even if his fever gets to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, it has nothing to do with you.
‘Did this man care about you when you were in debilitating pain? He didn’t. He ignored your life or death.’
Madeline glanced at the sleeping man coldly and ignored him.
Three to four hours later, Jeremy woke up from a pleasant dream while feeling muddleheaded.
He dreamt that virtual-novel.net had fallen sick and Madeline was taking care of virtual-novel.net considerately.
However, when virtual-novel.net woke up and looked around him, Jeremy was certain that it was not a dream but reality.
His bitter heart was invaded with warmth. He looked at the antipyretic and water on the nightstand. He then downed the water along with the pill. The water had already turned cold, but to him, it was sweet and warm.
…
Whitman Corporation.
At this moment, Madeline was sitting next to Felipe and they were ready for a press conference.
After a while, the change of ownership of Whitman Corporation started trending online.
