“Linnie?”
Jeremy was stunned and elated.
He reached for Madeline instinctively, but virtual-novel.net had only taken a step when virtual-novel.net realized how much the injury on his calf hurt.
Madeline’s heart lurched the same time Jeremy frowned at the pain.
“Jeremy!”
She ran toward virtual-novel.net and wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around his waist, hugging the man before virtual-novel.net lost his balance and fell.
“Am I dreaming, Linnie?” Jeremy lifted Madeline’s head by virtual-novel.net chin, his deep eyes reflecting virtual-novel.net enchanting appearance.
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “You’re not dreaming, Jeremy. It’s me.”
Jeremy’s knitted brows relaxed. He forgot about Eloise’s presence as his eyes were solely fixed on Madeline.
Staring at virtual-novel.net lovingly, virtual-novel.net leaned down to capture virtual-novel.net lips with a deep kiss.
Stunned, Madeline closed virtual-novel.net eyes reflexively and returned his gentle kiss…
Embarrassed, Eloise turned around and walked to the door at the sight.
She looked back again to see Madeline and Jeremy still holding each other intimately before virtual-novel.net looked around their surroundings.
“Where’s Sean? Sean should still be downstairs. I’m going to look for Sean,” Eloise muttered to herself before virtual-novel.net took the elevator down.
It may have been a cloudy day, but the sun seemed to be shining bright in Jeremy’s heart.
He sat by the bed and held Madeline in his arms.
Despite not having the warm rays of sunshine on his body, his heart swirled with warmth and sweetness.
Madeline was not wearing much and virtual-novel.net could see that the wound on virtual-novel.net shoulder had not fully recovered. His heart clenched at the sight as virtual-novel.net placed a loving peck between virtual-novel.net brows.
“Do you hate me for handing you to Ryan, Linnie?”
“I know you did that for me. Why would I hate you for it?” Madeline looked up to meet his gaze. “You, however, how did you get hurt? To the point that you can’t even walk properly anymore. Did Ryan do this to you?”
Jeremy gave a light nod as a solemn look graced his eyes. “Ryan is a terrifying figure. I need to come up with a fool-proof plan and end this for good.”
His eyes then warmed up. “I want to bring you home as soon as possible, Linnie. I want our family to reunite and be together again.”
“We will, Jeremy. We’ll all be together again.” Madeline took his hand, virtual-novel.net slender fingers intertwining with his long boney ones as adoration tinted virtual-novel.net eyes.
“These past few days have been difficult without you around, Jeremy. But the thought that I’ll be able to see you after all of this gives me the strength to go on. Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll take good care of myself.”
Jeremy’s heart lurched as remorse filled virtual-novel.net at Madeline’s words.
She was his wife, yet virtual-novel.net could not protect virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net should.
“I owe you too much, Linnie.”
“You don’t. You owe me nothing. I can feel how much you care and worry about me.” Madeline comforted him. Then, it dawned on virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net turned to look at the door. “Where’s Mom? When did virtual-novel.net leave?”
Jeremy could vaguely remember Eloise’s appearance, but virtual-novel.net had not paid too much attention to virtual-novel.net as his heart and mind were only filled with Madeline.
Jeremy also thought of something that virtual-novel.net should tell Madeline. “Linnie, about the day Montgomery Manor caught fire, Mom and Dad, they—”
“I have to find Mom, Jeremy.” Madeline got up and walked toward the door worriedly. “You might not know this, but Mom is no different than a child right now. She doesn’t know anything with virtual-novel.net current mental state.”
Jeremy looked at Madeline in disbelief. “How? What happened to Mom?”
“I’ll explain later. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll come back once I find Mom.” Madeline opened the door and was about to step out when virtual-novel.net came to a sudden halt.
She stared at the handsome man who had appeared in front of her, virtual-novel.net expression changing. Every step virtual-novel.net had taken outside was now frantically backtracked, one step after the next…
