Madeline strode toward the stairs that suddenly collapsed.
Sean was on the phone when virtual-novel.net heard Madeline’s heart-wrenching screams. His expression changed drastically before rushing in.
Madeline panicked and ran to the place where Jeremy had fallen. When virtual-novel.net saw the man lying motionless on the ground, virtual-novel.net felt as if something had pierced through virtual-novel.net heart.
“Jeremy!”
With a pale face, Madeline ran to Jeremy’s side and knelt before him. She took his face and cradled it in virtual-novel.net arms.
“Jeremy, wake up, Jeremy! Don’t scare me!” Madeline’s eyes looked lost while virtual-novel.net hands trembled violently.
She brushed away the dust on Jeremy’s face. With trembling fingers, virtual-novel.net stroked his beautiful eyebrows. Then, tears quietly escaped from virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Jeremy, don’t scare me. Please don’t scare me. I really don’t have the ability to bear the possibility of losing you.
“Jeremy, I’m truly exhausted from this journey. For the rest of my life, I just want you to cherish me and take care of me. Don’t make me face the unknown future alone, okay? Please…”
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net head and pressed virtual-novel.net forehead tightly against Jeremy’s forehead.
“Jeremy…”
“Eveline, what happened?” Sean looked at Jeremy who was lying on the ground unconscious and then glanced at the hole where the staircase had collapsed above him. He then instantly understood what happened.
“Eveline, send Jeremy to the hospital now!”
Madeline held Jeremy’s head and raised virtual-novel.net teary eyes.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy’s appearance, virtual-novel.net completely lost the ability to think. Her mind went blank.
She really, really did not want to experience such a gut-wrenching feeling again.
Madeline hugged Jeremy while being stuck in a daze. She did not know where virtual-novel.net was injured, but virtual-novel.net felt more at ease holding virtual-novel.net like this and feeling the warmth on his body.
The ambulance arrived soon after and they carried Jeremy onto the stretcher.
Madeline got into the ambulance with Jeremy while Sean followed closely behind in his car.
However, after arriving at the hospital, Sean suddenly felt his hands and feet going cold.
He had forgotten about Eloise!
Sean talked to Madeline and immediately returned to Montgomery Manor. However, after searching all over the ruins, no trace of Eloise was seen.
At the entrance of the emergency room of the hospital, Madeline paced anxiously back and forth.
Jeremy was still unconscious even after being inside for a very long time. She called Sean again to ask about Eloise, but virtual-novel.net did not answer the phone.
She looked at the red light of the emergency room anxiously while continuously turning the wedding ring on virtual-novel.net finger.
However, even after a long time, the rescue was not done yet.
Madeline felt even more restless.
“Eveline.” Sean’s voice came from one side.
Madeline looked up. “Dad!” She hurried over and looked behind Sean several times. “Where’s my mother?”
Sean furrowed his thick eyebrows. “After I went back, your mother was no longer there. I searched everywhere several times but I still couldn’t find her.”
Madeline’s heart sank again. She felt as if virtual-novel.net whole mind was in a mess.
She closed virtual-novel.net eyes in distress and felt as if the darkness was engulfing virtual-novel.net body.
She had been too careless.
If virtual-novel.net had not suggested bringing Eloise back to the ruins of Montgomery Manor, these things would not have happened.
“Eveline, don’t worry too much. Your mother will be fine. She’s only temporarily lost. I’ll go look for virtual-novel.net now, so don’t blame yourself.”
Sean knew his daughter and could see that Madeline was blaming herself.
Madeline nodded and did not want to spread virtual-novel.net negative emotions.
Sean glanced at the emergency room before comforting Madeline. “You and Jeremy have experienced so much, so I believe God won’t be so cruel. He’ll be fine.”
“Yeah.” Madeline nodded dumbly. Then, the door to the emergency room finally opened.
When virtual-novel.net spotted the doctor, Madeline rushed over and asked immediately, “Doctor, how’s my husband? Is virtual-novel.net okay?”
Sean followed closely to understand the situation.
The doctor took off his mask and smiled. “Fortunately, virtual-novel.net didn’t hurt his vital organs. He just passed out temporarily and will wake up soon.”
