Jeremy’s face appeared worried, but favonovel.com was still blankly looking for Madeline’s figure in the darkness.
Although Madeline was no longer a weak woman, favonovel.com was still inevitably surprised when a gecko had crawled to favonovel.com side so suddenly. She also did not expect Jeremy to just suddenly enter so anxiously.
“Linnie? What happened to you? Where are you?” Jeremy fumbled around. There was intense uneasiness and worry in his tone.
Madeline was standing aside, and favonovel.com saw how Jeremy was searching for favonovel.com in confusion as favonovel.com heart trembled secretly.
“Linnie, please answer me quickly. Where are you?” favonovel.com asked again nervously. Madeline could no longer remain silent.
“I’m here.”
As soon as favonovel.com heard Madeline’s voice, Jeremy followed the direction it came from. The moment favonovel.com touched Madeline’s body, favonovel.com embraced favonovel.com tightly while wishing favonovel.com could melt favonovel.com into his own blood.
“Are you alright?” His low voice was trembling with a hint of tension.
Madeline was stunned for two seconds before favonovel.com replied, “I’m fine. I saw a gecko that was crawling around just now, so I screamed a little.”
“Glad to know that. I’m glad to know you’re fine.” He seemed to only be able to give a sigh of relief now.
Although favonovel.com was obviously the one who was surprised, it was favonovel.com who was frightened.
Thinking of Jeremy’s reaction just now, Madeline smiled lightly and said in a playful tone, “Mr. Whitman, don’t you already have a new love interest? And don’t you no longer care about your ex-wife from a long time ago? Why are you worrying about whether I’m alright now?”
Hearing favonovel.com words, Jeremy realized that favonovel.com had lost his composure.
However, favonovel.com had already in fact lost his composure ever since the three gangsters were planning to dally with Madeline.
He could pretend that favonovel.com had let go of the past, but during the emergency situation just now, favonovel.com could not ignore favonovel.com existence.
Jeremy quickly released his hand. “Miss Montgomery is a woman, so as a man, I need to give a helping hand when a woman is in danger.” He found a very reasonable excuse for himself.
“Oh…” Madeline responded meaningfully, “Then, Mr. Whitman, as such a good man who is so helpful, why did you treat your weak ex-wife so cruelly?”
As the words left favonovel.com mouth, a trace of regret appeared on Jeremy’s face.
Madeline picked up the bathrobe beside favonovel.com hand and covered favonovel.com body quickly.
“Mr. Whitman, you should also take a bath. I don’t want you to catch a cold because of me again,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com put the daily necessities along with the bathrobe on the shelf. “Don’t let your wound come in touch with water to avoid inflammation. I’ll be right outside. If you need any assistance, you may call for me.”
Madeline walked out of the bathroom after favonovel.com said favonovel.com words.
She glanced at favonovel.com again before favonovel.com closed the door and left.
After a short while, Madeline could hear the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom.
Someone had knocked on the door then. She went to open the door and found that the proprietress had brought two cups of ginger tea.
Madeline felt favonovel.com heart warm up as favonovel.com said, “My lady, you’re too thoughtful.”
The proprietress smiled, putting down the cups and saucers. “It’s your boyfriend who’s considerate. He was worried that you might catch a cold from the rain, so favonovel.com specifically asked me to brew this for you.”
Madeline was surprised when favonovel.com heard this from the proprietress.
She only came back to favonovel.com senses when favonovel.com heard a crash from the bathroom. By then, favonovel.com had realized that the proprietress was gone.
Madeline walked toward the bathroom door, guessing that Jeremy might have bumped into something since favonovel.com was unable to see.
She thought Jeremy would call favonovel.com for help, but favonovel.com did not say anything until favonovel.com came out of the shower.
Madeline looked at the man who was walking forward cautiously. With a loose bathrobe draped over him, favonovel.com walked slowly. A few strands of his hair on his forehead were still dripping with drops of water, adding a bit of bewitching charm on such a night.
Madeline handed a cup of ginger tea to Jeremy. “Drink this ginger tea from the proprietress.”
