When Jeremy felt virtual-novel.net arms wrapped around him, virtual-novel.net quickly turned around.
He saw Madeline holding virtual-novel.net listlessly while bare-footed. He did not hesitate for a second before picking virtual-novel.net up.
Madeline felt really sad, and with all of virtual-novel.net remaining strength, virtual-novel.net wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around the man’s neck tightly as virtual-novel.net buried virtual-novel.net haggard face between his neck.
“Jeremy, don’t ignore me.”
Madeline’s voice sounded as if virtual-novel.net was on the brink of crying, even sounding a little inferior just like how virtual-novel.net was last time.
Jeremy felt the pain in his heart growing.
How could virtual-novel.net bear to ignore her?
He wanted to comfort her, but all virtual-novel.net heard was Madeline apologizing. “I know I was fierce to you just now, but I didn’t mean it.”
Jeremy stopped his steps, lowered his head, and kissed virtual-novel.net on the cheek. He pressed his thin lips to virtual-novel.net ears. “What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be angry with you? You don’t need to apologize to me. You haven’t done anything wrong.”
His gentle tone that was like a breeze of air washed over Madeline’s injured heart as virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes and weakly sank deeper into him.
“Then don’t go. Stay with me.”
“Okay, I’m not going anywhere.”
Jeremy promised, wanting to bring Madeline to the bed to sit. However, virtual-novel.net only tightened virtual-novel.net hug.
“I want you to hold me,” virtual-novel.net requested in a coquettish tone that virtual-novel.net had never used on virtual-novel.net before.
Jeremy did not want to let go of virtual-novel.net either, so virtual-novel.net sat down on the bed with Madeline in his arms as virtual-novel.net gently ran his warm palm and fingers through virtual-novel.net long hair.
“Jeremy, I know you have a lot of questions, but you have to trust that no matter what I do, I’ll never hurt you.”
“Yeah, I know.” Jeremy nodded.
“Don’t go anywhere tonight, okay? Just stay with me here.”
Madeline looked up at virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net tear-stained eyes that were like dewdrops on a flower petal. Jeremy’s heartstrings were tugged at the sight of virtual-novel.net at the moment.
He did not give virtual-novel.net a reply verbally and only slowly lowered his head to gently kiss virtual-novel.net lips as a response.
Madeline closed virtual-novel.net eyes and continued to sink into the man’s sweet tenderness…
It was already late into the night.
Madeline woke up on time. She looked at the time and wanted to give Jeremy the reagent.
She tiptoed out of the ward, asked the nurse for a sterile disposable syringe with a random excuse, and returned to the ward.
Since it was a VIP ward, the layout of the room was similar to a standard suite of a hotel.
Madeline saw that Jeremy was fast asleep in another hospital bed.
After Madeline drew the reagent into the syringe, virtual-novel.net walked over to Jeremy. She held his arm gently, located his vein, and injected the needle into it without hesitation.
Jeremy was actually still awake.
He could not stop thinking about Madeline as his mind would go back to what the woman in the sunglasses said.
“Stop pretending already, Eveline Montgomery. I saw you. You and Ryan met secretly by the hospital entrance when your daughter was admitted to the hospital. He brought you home and when you two were done, virtual-novel.net brought you back to the hospital too. How kind of him.”
‘So Linnie, you went to see Ryan that time.
‘But why did you meet with Ryan?
‘When you went out this afternoon, were you with Ryan too?
‘Is that why Ryan jumped down to save you when you jumped into the river?’
Jeremy half-opened his round eyes and stared at Madeline who was giving virtual-novel.net an injection with a serious look on virtual-novel.net face.
After Madeline gave virtual-novel.net the injection, virtual-novel.net discarded the syringe and bottle. Meanwhile, Jeremy continued to pretend to sleep.
After a while, Madeline returned to Jeremy’s bed and traced his eyebrows with virtual-novel.net fingers.
When Madeline imagined virtual-novel.net suffering from the poison alone, virtual-novel.net felt even worse.
