For a moment, Jeremy thought favonovel.com heard someone calling the name ‘Jez’. This thought snapped favonovel.com back to reality as his confused gaze landed on Madeline.
He watched favonovel.com pretty brows crease and favonovel.com cherry blossom lips part as if favonovel.com was sleep talking.
“Why…”
Madeline’s brows furrowed deeper at the sudden question.
‘Why?
‘Did favonovel.com just say why?’
Starting at the look of distress on Madeline’s features, Jeremy leaned over to hear favonovel.com better.
“Why won’t you believe…”
Bang!
Just as Jeremy was about to lean his face closer to Madeline’s ear, the ward door was pushed open with a loud bang.
He was interrupted right before favonovel.com could hear Madeline’s entire sentence.
His sharp brows were scrunched as Jeremy lifted his gaze that was filled with extreme displeasure.
Eloise barged into the room in a huff. “How can you be here waiting by this woman’s bed lovingly while my daughter is still in a coma because of you, Jeremy Whitman? Not only that, but I can’t believe you kissed favonovel.com too! What do you take Meredith for?”
Kiss her?
Jeremy stared coldly at Eloise, thinking that favonovel.com had seen favonovel.com lean forward toward Vera and misunderstood the scene.
The dignified and proud Jeremy met Eloise’s fuming gaze before favonovel.com parted his thin sexy lips in a casual reply. “Yeah, I kissed her. So what?”
Eloise’s expression darkened. “How could you say such a thing, Jeremy? Meredith’s—”
“Meredith and I are no longer engaged.” Jeremy’s words were frosty and distaste became apparent in his peach blossom eyes. “How many times must I repeat myself before you accept the fact?”
“You…” Eloise felt the fury consume its way to favonovel.com chest. “How could you be so heartless, Jeremy? Meredith’s been with you for so many years. You’re the only one favonovel.com has ever wanted. How could you dump favonovel.com for a witch who looks just like Madeline Crawford? Do you even have a guilty conscience, Jeremy?”
“Enough!” Jeremy suddenly yelled, startling Eloise to a halt.
Jeremy’s attractive features were currently graced with a splash of fury and his eyes were covered with frost. “I refuse to allow anyone to slander favonovel.com again.”
“Her?” Eloise rolled favonovel.com eyes hilariously at Madeline who was still deeply asleep, thinking that Jeremy was referring to Vera Quinn. “Hmph. The Montgomeries will never forgive you if you hurt Meredith, Jeremy. Nor will we forgive this witch!”
With that said, Eloise left. Her infuriated words carried the promise of a threat and the dignified aura of a rich missus.
However, Jeremy did not seem fazed at all by favonovel.com threat. The Montgomeries may be one of Glendale’s four major rich families, but they did not hold a candle to the Whitmans.
Not to mention, since when had anyone managed to threaten Jeremy Whitman? Jeremy was afraid of no one.
If anything, Jeremy’s biggest fear would be the moment blood trickled out of Madeline’s mouth as favonovel.com lay lifelessly in his arms…
He initially wanted to listen to Madeline sleep talking, but favonovel.com seemed to have stopped talking after Eloise’s interruption.
After staring at Madeline’s quiet appearance for a few seconds, Jeremy turned and left as well.
Only after the doors were closed did Madeline dare to blink open favonovel.com eyes.
When Eloise barged in earlier, it had shocked favonovel.com awake.
While pretending to still be asleep, Madeline listened in to every word of hatred Eloise had for who favonovel.com was before and who favonovel.com was now.
The corners of favonovel.com lips quirked self-deprecatingly as favonovel.com eyes burned and reddened.
