Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1799

Madeline was surprised by Jeremy's sudden reaction.

She had intuitively wanted to evade him this moment, but Jeremy suddenly spread open his arms and locked Madeline in a tight embrace.

Madeline was astonished. Currently, in her mind, Jeremy hated her. He loathed her. He would never hug her the way he did now.

Thus, she thought this was a setup.

When she attempted to free herself from Jeremy's hug, he softly spoke into her ear.

"You're sick, Linnie. You've forgotten that you already forgave me. You've also forgotten that we're now in love with each other."

'I'm sick?'

Madeline thought that Jeremy was lying to her.

When she looked at the room again, however, it certainly did look like a ward.

She also felt that her body was quite uncomfortable

and her breathing was erratic; each of her heartbeats was accompanied by a slight ache.

Regardless, to Madeline, everything that was happening now still seemed like Jeremy was lying.

Suddenly, Madeline burst into laughter.

"Jeremy, you're here because of Meredith, right? You don't have to trouble yourself, begging a lady who you hate so much. Whatever is your intention, you can just spit it out." Jeremy was heartbroken hearing the suspicion and rejection permeating Madeline's words.

He did not let go of her but hugged her even tighter instead.

"Linnie, every word I said was true. I'm sorry. It's my fault that I made you recall those unpleasant memories. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry..." Madeline repeated the three words, then lifted her gorgeous eyes, devoid of warmth, and coldly glanced at Jeremy as the tears in her reddened eyes silently flowed down. "This is truly the best joke I've ever heard." "Linnie..."

"Get lost, Jeremy."

Jeremy was stunned. He had not expected to hear Madeline telling him off in such a straightforward manner.

It was in this brief moment of inattentiveness that Madeline suddenly pushed him away forcefully.

Jeremy, who did not expect Madeline to use such strength, staggered back two steps. When he had stabilized his footing, he saw Madeline making her way toward the door of the ward and opening it.

"Get out."

She still spoke in a straightforward tone, demanding him to leave.

Jeremy truly had no idea how to explain it since the current Madeline was not willing to listen to him.

Her mind was filled with memories of the cruel things he had done to her; all her thoughts were negative.

She was completely unable to recall how great their current relationship was and how much in love they were.

"Linnie, I'll head out and wait for the time being. I'll not disturb you, so don't be mad," Jeremy said meekly, trying to get on her good terms.

However, Madeline coldly looked at him, unbothered.

Jeremy felt chilly within him. Even if Madeline was behaving this way due to the poison's influence, he was still heartbroken.

He stepped out of the ward, and Madeline immediately closed the door.

She even attempted to lock it but there was no padlock.

Jeremy was outside, cut off from Madeline, and could only peep through the small window.

He saw Madeline returning to the bed and curling up at the corner of the bed, hugging both her legs, her expression was no longer confident as before.

Jeremy knew that Madeline was upset and in pain as she thought about why she fell in love with a man like him.

'But Linnie, I've really realized my mistakes. We're now in love with each other. I believe you'll be able to regain your memories soon.'

Jeremy's eyes reddened as he glanced at Madeline.

He was feeling sorry for Madeline, yet there was nothing that he could do.
