Madeline groaned in pain and frowned. It was followed by a cooling sensation on virtual-novel.net calf.
Jeremy got down to his knees before virtual-novel.net and pulled up virtual-novel.net trousers only to find an enormous bruise on virtual-novel.net calf.
Heartbroken, virtual-novel.net frowned. “I’ll carry you, Linnie.”
“Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Whitman, but I don’t need you to do so.” Madeline rejected his offer. Bearing with the pain, virtual-novel.net continued waddling ahead.
Jeremy knew virtual-novel.net was mad at his previous actions, but virtual-novel.net could not bear to see virtual-novel.net torturing virtual-novel.net body.
He quickly caught up to her, grabbed virtual-novel.net waist, and hoisted virtual-novel.net up.
Madeline fumbled, and when virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net gaze, all virtual-novel.net saw was the side of Jeremy’s stony face.
“Put me down.” Madeline rejected in an indifferent tone. After a few attempts of struggling which failed, virtual-novel.net grabbed onto his collar. “Jeremy, I’ve made myself very clear back at Glendale University. I don’t need your concern and you no longer need to treat me well.”
Jeremy looked at virtual-novel.net with a passionate stare. “Linnie, I know you’re mad at me. You can continue being mad or even hate me, but please don’t harm your body just because of this.”
Madeline smirked. “Don’t you find it rather hilarious that today, you’re telling me not to harm my body?”
Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net even tighter when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net comment.
He was staring at Madeline before virtual-novel.net as though virtual-novel.net was being brutally tortured himself.
“I’m sorry.”
He apologized sincerely but still continued carrying virtual-novel.net and walking further ahead.
“I’ll never act all noble and hand you over to another guy. Linnie, you have no idea how much I desire for you to give me another chance to take care of you.” He suddenly blurted such a comment as if virtual-novel.net was making a promise to her.
Madeline was dumbfounded. Silence befell them, and virtual-novel.net sensed that Jeremy had picked up the pace.
…
At Whitman Manor.
Winston was feeling perturbed and was waiting for the news from the search party. He spun around and saw Karen sitting on the sofa blankly. The sight worried him.
Ever since Karen was rescued last night, virtual-novel.net overall condition became strange. She would not talk at all.
He wanted to question Karen whether virtual-novel.net was feeling unwell when Felicity entered the scene.
Winston felt uncomfortable when virtual-novel.net saw the lady who looked like Madeline.
Karen heard the commotion and turned to look. She got up to virtual-novel.net feet when virtual-novel.net saw Felicity and was agitated. “Madeline?! You’re back in one piece?”
Meredith smiled. “I’m Felicity, Aunty.”
Karen looked disappointed to hear it.
She took a closer look and it was indeed not Madeline.
‘Madeline’s facial features are much more delicate than Felicity’s.’
Sensing the weird atmosphere, Meredith asked, “Did something happen?”
Karen went back to sit down, feeling dispirited and not in the mood to talk.
Seeing Karen’s reaction, Winston felt curious. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to ask, the police force called and claimed that they had found both Madeline and Jeremy. They had sent them both to the hospital.
Winston let out a breath of relief when virtual-novel.net heard the news but was surprised to see Karen being so agitated. She even pestered virtual-novel.net to drive virtual-novel.net to the hospital immediately.
Meredith tagged along and got into the back seat before they all went to the hospital together.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Meredith came to know the entire incident that took place last night.
She did not expect there would be other people plotting a scheme against Madeline before virtual-novel.net took any action herself.
Knowing that Jeremy sacrificed himself just to save Madeline and ended up falling from the cliff with her, flames of jealousy within Meredith lighted once again.
She could not tolerate the fact that Jeremy cared so much for Madeline.
She felt that virtual-novel.net should create a crack between them if Jeremy was so concerned about Madeline.
After Meredith made up virtual-novel.net mind, virtual-novel.net suddenly thought of someone else.
