“Really?” Jackson looked like virtual-novel.net was in disbelief. “Daddy, let me look at your wound so that I can feel reassured.”
Jeremy did not want to scare the little guy with his bloody wound, but virtual-novel.net was extremely stubborn.
He brought the little guy to the room without a choice. Madeline also followed behind them while Karen moved out Madeline’s way like virtual-novel.net was avoiding her. She was also looking at Madeline like virtual-novel.net had something to say to her.
Madeline did not think that Karen was acting weird and only smiled.
Jeremy took off his sweater in the room, revealing his fair torso. There was blood seeping out from his bandaged wound.
Jackson blew on it while feeling heartbroken. “Daddy, you’re bleeding. Daddy, you must be hurting a lot, right?”
“Maybe I pressed on it when I was sleeping.” Jeremy had not noticed the bleeding. Then, virtual-novel.net caressed the little guy’s head. “I’m not in pain, so don’t worry about me, Jack.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline walking over with a first aid kit and was surprised. She looked like virtual-novel.net was going to change his dressing for him.
Jeremy was feeling overwhelmed with his heart flowing with joy.
Madeline took out the alcohol swabs and bandages without saying a word. Then, virtual-novel.net removed the bandage on Jeremy’s body.
Madeline was then greeted by the horrifyingly bloody wound.
She was slightly taken aback. If Jeremy had hesitated for even a slight moment at that crucial time, virtual-novel.net would be the one who got stabbed.
He was willing to risk his life for her.
The little guy could not bring himself to look at the wound, so virtual-novel.net turned his head and looked at the wedding album on the bed. Then, virtual-novel.net started flipping through it with interest.
Jeremy noticed that Madeline was spacing out, so virtual-novel.net called out to virtual-novel.net softly, “Linnie, is it horrifying? Did my wound scare you?”
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses and took care of Jeremy’s wound with the alcohol swab. “This is nothing. I was disfigured back then and my wound was much worse than yours.”
Hiss.
Jeremy frowned.
His wound did not hurt, but virtual-novel.net was reminded of the two horrifying scars on virtual-novel.net face back then when virtual-novel.net said that to him.
He lowered his gaze as his heart broke into pieces and his eyes were filled with remorse.
“I’m sorry, Linnie.”
“You’ve apologized enough and I’m sick of hearing them.” Madeline’s tone was cold. It seemed as if virtual-novel.net did not want to talk to virtual-novel.net anymore.
“Daddy, Mommy, when was this taken?” The little guy’s curious voice sounded from one side, healing Jeremy’s dispirited heart. “Why are Lily and I not in the photos?”
Madeline stopped what virtual-novel.net was doing and did not know how to answer him. Then, virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy answering him, “This is Mommy and Daddy’s wedding photo. You and your sister were not born yet.”
“What does that mean?” Jackson asked in puzzlement.
Jeremy answered patiently, “It means that you were still in Mommy’s tummy.”
“…” Madeline’s face heated slightly.
She wanted to change the topic when virtual-novel.net heard Jackson asking, “Why was I in Mommy’s stomach? Could Mommy fit me in virtual-novel.net tummy?”
“…”
“…”
Now, Jeremy and Madeline were both stunned.
Jeremy coughed before saying, “Jack, I’m a little thirsty. Can you fetch me a glass of water from downstairs?”
“Of course.” Jackson ran out obediently.
Madeline used this opportunity to bandage Jeremy quickly. After virtual-novel.net put away the first aid kit, virtual-novel.net turned around to leave.
“Linnie, don’t go.” Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net hand reluctantly.
Madeline was in a hurry when virtual-novel.net was suddenly pulled back by Jeremy. Hence, virtual-novel.net slipped and fell backward.
Jeremy reached out his hand to catch her, but since the impact was too big, virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net down on the bed along with virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net fell. Half of virtual-novel.net body was pressing against Jeremy’s.
The sunlight was coming in from the window at this moment and Madeline was stunned when virtual-novel.net looked at the gentle face that was right in front of her.
Jeremy lifted his hand and caressed Madeline’s cheek. His warm fingers traveled over virtual-novel.net eyebrow, and his eyes were filled with love. “Linnie, I’m so happy that you’re worried and concerned about me.
“Linnie, you’re stunning.
“I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Can you please give me another chance? Give me another chance to love you, take care of you, and protect you.”
He sounded like virtual-novel.net was begging virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net said the last sentence.
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses and got up after pushing Jeremy away.
However, virtual-novel.net flipped all of a sudden and changed their positions.
Madeline was at a loss. When virtual-novel.net was about to get up, Jeremy’s handsome face got closer to hers and virtual-novel.net touched his nose to hers. His deep eyes were filled with passion. “Linnie, you might blame me, but…”
He said and leaned down uncontrollably. Then, virtual-novel.net pressed his lips firmly against Madeline’s and gave virtual-novel.net a passionate kiss.
