He glanced at the purse in his hand and started having some wild guesses running in his mind.
‘There must be something important in this purse. Or else, virtual-novel.net would never have taken such drastic measures to jump into the river.’
Jeremy thought to himself as his long fingers unzipped the purse.
He wanted to know what was inside the purse that made Madeline put virtual-novel.net life on the line.
It was at that moment a nurse came anxiously running out from the emergency room.
Jeremy discarded the idea of peeping into the purse and quickly halted the nurse. “How’s my wife? Why is virtual-novel.net bleeding so much?”
The nurse was worried as well, but after noticing Jeremy was feeling the same way, virtual-novel.net explained, “It seems something sharp has cut through your wife’s left thigh, causing the severe bleeding.
“But virtual-novel.net blood group is Rhesus negative, a rare type of blood group! Our hospital doesn’t have this kind of blood in our blood bank. We have to go and get it from another hospital! With that being said, we can’t be sure whether there’s such a blood group in their blood bank either,” the nurse said before quickly leaving the scene.
Veins were throbbing on Jeremy’s temples.
Madeline had lost a lot of blood and the hospital did not have the required blood in their blood bank. Besides, they were unsure whether other hospitals had virtual-novel.net blood group.
He knew that Madeline’s blood was of a rare type.
He wanted to just donate all of his blood to Madeline, but virtual-novel.net could not do so as their blood groups were not compatible.
Jackson had the same blood group as Madeline but virtual-novel.net was only six-years-old. A six-year-old kid could not donate blood.
‘If only Eloise was still around. She could donate virtual-novel.net blood to Madeline, but now…’
Jeremy leaned against the wall, feeling troubled. He recalled the fire that burned down the entire Montgomery Manor along with Eloise and Sean who were mercilessly burned to death.
Even though Naomi said virtual-novel.net was not the one who set the fire, virtual-novel.net still could not be sure about it.
Up to this day, virtual-novel.net still could not figure out what had happened when virtual-novel.net made his way to Montgomery Manor that day.
He had lost the most crucial part of his memory.
Jeremy was helpless. Looking at the nurses coming in and out made virtual-novel.net unable to calm down.
There were a few times virtual-novel.net wanted to go forth and ask but was afraid virtual-novel.net might hinder Madeline’s treatment.
After some time, the doctor finally showed up.
Jeremy rushed forward and grabbed hold of the female physician. “Doctor, how’s my wife? Is virtual-novel.net condition any better?”
The female physician could not help but complain, “As virtual-novel.net husband, how could you not know that your wife was so badly injured? Her pants were drenched in blood! Besides, virtual-novel.net blood type is so rare. If we didn’t get the blood transferred here in time, you might have lost your wife by now!”
Jeremy frowned as his eyes gave off a sharp glare. “What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by losing my wife?!”
“…” The doctor noticed Jeremy’s murderous glare and realized virtual-novel.net had crossed the line. She quickly softened virtual-novel.net tone, saying, “Your wife is alright now. You don’t have to worry. You… You can go and accompany her.”
Jeremy retrieved his glare and said coldly, “Thank you.”
“You… You’re welcome,” the doctor replied. As virtual-novel.net was terrified, virtual-novel.net quickly made a run for it.
In the VIP ward.
Jeremy helped Madeline change into a pair of clean clothing and dried virtual-novel.net hair patiently.
The sky outside the window slowly became dark. Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand and kept virtual-novel.net company.
He raised his hand and touched virtual-novel.net face that had turned pale after losing so much blood. He choked, feeling hurt.
He lifted his head and kissed virtual-novel.net hand. His eyes grew red as virtual-novel.net said, “You’ve never had a peaceful day after being with me. Linnie, I’ve really let you down…”
His eyes were apologetic as virtual-novel.net stared at Madeline who had not awakened. It was as if his heart was stabbed by thousands of knives. It was so painful that virtual-novel.net found it hard to breathe.
However, very soon, Jeremy remembered about the purse. It was the purse that made Madeline put virtual-novel.net life on the line and jump into the river.
He was guessing perhaps virtual-novel.net got injured while in the water.
He placed Madeline’s hand down gently and took the purse beside to open it.
Jeremy took out all the things in the purse, but there were not many. There was only a long wallet, keys, and lipstick. There was nothing special.
‘All these items wouldn’t make Madeline place virtual-novel.net life on the line.’ Jeremy found it odd. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to place everything back, an item fell out from the gap of the wallet and dropped right beside his foot.
