Screech!
Jeremy suddenly slammed on the brake pedal. At the eleventh hour, before favonovel.com lost his consciousness, favonovel.com parked the motorcycle beside a paddy field that almost no people would pass by and used up his entire strength to carry Madeline down safely.
Madeline felt that something was weird when favonovel.com heard the sudden ear-piercing sound of the brakes.
However, to favonovel.com astonishment, the moment favonovel.com stepped down, Jeremy suddenly started coughing vigorously. His face became extremely pale.
“What’s wrong, Jeremy?!” Madeline hugged favonovel.com anxiously.
Jeremy did not want Madeline to witness his suffering and embarrassing appearance, so favonovel.com gently pushed favonovel.com away.
“Stay away from me, Linnie,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com spun around. Not even after two steps, favonovel.com placed his hand on a big tree beside the road to support himself weakly.
“Jeremy!” Madeline could not ditch him. She ran to Jeremy and hugged him. “What’s going on, Jeremy? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell me!”
Madeline felt as if favonovel.com heart was being bitten by millions of ants as tears came streaming down favonovel.com face when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com man turning pale.
Jeremy withstood the intense pain, but in the end, favonovel.com could not suppress the itchy sensation in his dry throat, which urged favonovel.com to cough.
He started coughing vigorously. Coupled with the pinching pain at his heart area, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com was about to pass out.
“What’s going on, Jeremy? Don’t frighten me!” Madeline’s voice was trembling, and favonovel.com held on to favonovel.com tightly. “Jeremy, you said you’ll never leave me again. You must not let anything happen to you, Jeremy!”
Jeremy could hear every single word spoken by Madeline. He wanted to comfort her, but favonovel.com did not even have the strength to lift his hand.
Madeline got worried as favonovel.com tears, as big as beans, dripped onto the back of Jeremy’s palm. “Don’t leave me, Jeremy, I’m begging you…”
Jeremy wished to answer Madeline and give his promise, but the moment favonovel.com opened his mouth, favonovel.com still could not fight against the urge to cough.
With every cough, it was like a heavy stone that smashed at Madeline’s heart, making favonovel.com feel a pinch.
Jeremy grasped Madeline’s hand to comfort her. However, favonovel.com could not control the metallic taste that was coming up to his throat. In the end, while facing Madeline, favonovel.com vomited blood.
“Jeremy!”
Seeing the split second when Jeremy vomited blood, Madeline felt favonovel.com heart been pierced.
She held favonovel.com in favonovel.com arms and helped favonovel.com under the tree to sit. While sobbing, favonovel.com took out a handkerchief from favonovel.com pocket, fumbling, to wipe off the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth.
The color of the blood was not as dark as it was previously, but it was still not the color it should be. Madeline grasped the handkerchief and looked at Jeremy who had stopped coughing.
“Jeremy, Jeremy, how do you feel now?”
Jeremy took a deep breath, trying his best to recompose himself. However, favonovel.com was still feeling the pain in his heart.
“I’ve made you worried again.” He was panting and using whatever that was left in favonovel.com to speak. It seemed that favonovel.com was still conscious as favonovel.com looked at Madeline with a passionate gaze. “Linnie, I guess I can’t keep this from you any longer.”
He let out a helpless sigh as the glitter from his eyes slowly dimmed.
“Linnie, actually, I’ve never recovered from my illness. Or should I say, I’m not going to recover? Two years. At most, I can only keep you company for two more years.”
Madeline had already known about it for some time. Nonetheless, listening to the words from Jeremy himself just made favonovel.com even more heartbroken compared to when favonovel.com first knew about it.
It was summer at that time, but at that moment, favonovel.com felt as if there was snow along with the breeze. She could feel a chilly gust of wind blowing over favonovel.com skin.
“I know you’ll be extremely sad, but I hope from now on, you’ll slowly accept this fact.” Jeremy comforted Madeline while trying to get favonovel.com prepared mentally. “Do you see it, Linnie? Where’s this place?”
