Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman -
Chapter 1646
Chapter 1646
This sentence came from Madeline's mouth so naturally, but it pierced into Jeremy's heart.
He could not help but remember his inappropriate behavior.
She always viewed him as the man she loved the most and her husband. However, he refused to admit her status.
When he thought about this, Jeremy did not know if it was a figment of his imagination but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Then, a familiar dull pain washed over him. It even began getting harder for him to breathe.
Madeline immediately noticed the changes in Jeremy's expression. She grabbed his arm tightly, asking, "Jeremy, what's wrong?"
Jeremy did not want Madeline to worry. He wanted to hide the fact that he was feeling extremely unwell, but his labored breathing caused him not to have the energy to speak. Looking at Jeremy's complexion that was getting worse, Madeline started to panic. "What's wrong, Jeremy? What's going on? Tell me where the discomfort is coming from."
Madeline asked incoherently. Her eyes became red from the panic she felt because of this unknown fear.
"The poison. I think the poison is flaring up again..." Jeremy figured this might be a possibility, so he did not hide it from Madeline.
"Poison?" Madeline's pupils constricted. She did not expect the remaining poison in Jeremy's body to flare up at this moment. However, there was a fortunate smile on her face. "Jeremy, don't be scared. I brought the anti-toxoid test reagent. It's the one Adam gave me!"
With a look of surprise, Jeremy looked at Madeline who was running to the bathroom. He did not expect Madeline to bring the anti-toxoid test reagent with her wherever she went.
No.
This did not make sense.
Jeremy was confused when finally, something clicked in his brain.
'Did Linnie voluntarily come to St. Piaf with Carter? Was Linnie back to normal even before boarding the plane?'
After Jeremy came to this conclusion, he saw Madeline walking out of the bathroom with a flurried look on her face.
"I must have left it in Gray Manor," Madeline muttered to herself restlessly. She ran to Jeremy's side and helped him to sit on the bed. "Jeremy, hold on. I'll go out for a bit and I'll come back very soon! You have to wait for me to come back!"
After Madeline told him this, she was about to go out when Jeremy grabbed her and pulled her back to him.
"Linnie."
"Jeremy?"
"Linnie, answer me, was your hypnotism broken before you came to St. Piaf?" Jeremy asked as he endured the agonizing and torturous pain while holding Madeline's hand tightly.
Madeline nodded her head without denying it. Her eyes were filled with apologies. "I'm sorry, Jeremy. I acted on my own accord. I wanted to know why Carter was investigating you and the reason he was framing me, so I decided to beat him at his own game, but I realized I made the wrong move."
When Jeremy heard Madeline's answer, he did not feel so surprised anymore.
At the end of the day, she was still doing this for him.
"Linnie."
"Jeremy, I always carry one of the anti-toxoid test reagents Adam gave me back then with me wherever I go. I was wearing my clothes before I put on the wedding gown today, but the anti-toxoid test reagent in my pocket is gone. I think I must have lost it in Gray Manor so I have to go back now. I promise that I'll come back to you safely."
Madeline wanted to leave after she promised Jeremy. However, Jeremy's palm that was holding her tightened.
"No!"
