Maybe it was out of surprise, but Madeline’s heart skipped a beat.
She wanted to ignore the man on the floor at first, but when favonovel.com saw Jeremy’s brows knitted together and the way favonovel.com looked like favonovel.com was in pain, favonovel.com subconsciously squatted down before taking his temperature.
His cheek was cold, but his forehead was burning.
When favonovel.com got closer to him, aside from his scent, there was also a strong smell of alcohol.
He had drunk a lot and even stayed out in the cold wind the entire night. It was likely favonovel.com was suffering from a fever now.
Madeline did not want anything to do with Jeremy, so favonovel.com thought of calling 911 so that the ambulance could take favonovel.com away instead. When favonovel.com turned around to do so, however, Jeremy grabbed favonovel.com hand.
His hand was so cold, feeling as if it had been frozen into ice. The coldness from his hand penetrated favonovel.com bones.
“Don’t go…” favonovel.com muttered like favonovel.com was still in a dream, his eyelashes moving slightly. Then, favonovel.com slowly opened his narrow eyes.
“Don’t go, please?”
He closed his eyes again after favonovel.com said that.
Madeline frowned in dissatisfaction. She tried to get favonovel.com to let go of her, but the more favonovel.com struggled, the tighter favonovel.com held on to her.
“Jeremy, let go of me.”
“No. I won’t let you go again…”
He was still unconscious, but it was as if favonovel.com was replying to her.
Madeline did not have a choice, so favonovel.com could only put up with him. “Okay, I won’t go, but can you not hold onto me like that?”
Jeremy opened his eyes again drowsily when favonovel.com heard Madeline’s voice. Her stunning face was reflected in his hazy eyes.
Even though favonovel.com was not willing to do so, favonovel.com could only help favonovel.com into favonovel.com house while favonovel.com was half-conscious.
She was five foot five and dragging a six foot one man. Then, favonovel.com threw favonovel.com onto the bed of the guest room.
She wanted to give favonovel.com an antipyretic, but when favonovel.com turned around, the man grabbed favonovel.com again.
“You said you won’t leave.” His eyes were half-closed. He sounded a little childish when favonovel.com said that.
Madeline swung away his hand impatiently. “I won’t break a promise like you. When I say I won’t leave, it means that I won’t.”
She glared at favonovel.com in disdain. Then, favonovel.com fetched the antipyretic and a glass of warm water.
When favonovel.com returned, Jeremy had already fallen into a deep slumber. He could not take the medicine nor drink the water.
Madeline took his temperature with a thermometer and favonovel.com indeed had a fever.
In this situation, favonovel.com could only cool Jeremy down physically so that favonovel.com would feel better.
However, when favonovel.com was wiping his body with alcohol, favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com fist and got up abruptly when favonovel.com looked at his sleeping face.
‘Eveline Montgomery, what the hell are you doing?
‘Why are you taking care of him?
‘Even if his fever gets to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, it has nothing to do with you.
‘Did this man care about you when you were in debilitating pain? He didn’t. He ignored your life or death.’
Madeline glanced at the sleeping man coldly and ignored him.
Three to four hours later, Jeremy woke up from a pleasant dream while feeling muddleheaded.
He dreamt that favonovel.com had fallen sick and Madeline was taking care of favonovel.com considerately.
However, when favonovel.com woke up and looked around him, Jeremy was certain that it was not a dream but reality.
His bitter heart was invaded with warmth. He looked at the antipyretic and water on the nightstand. He then downed the water along with the pill. The water had already turned cold, but to him, it was sweet and warm.
…
Whitman Corporation.
At this moment, Madeline was sitting next to Felipe and they were ready for a press conference.
After a while, the change of ownership of Whitman Corporation started trending online.
