Madeline sat up. She ignored the searing pain on favonovel.com arm and removed favonovel.com hand from the man’s grip. “Go now!”
However, after favonovel.com was finally out of Jeremy’s grip, favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com close and held favonovel.com tightly. “Linnie, don’t chase me away.”
“…” Madeline felt a wave of sadness crashing against favonovel.com heart. She felt tears falling from favonovel.com eyes.
Of course, favonovel.com wanted favonovel.com to stay with her, but this was not the time to be romantic.
She knew Jeremy would be worried and reluctant to leave, so Madeline softened favonovel.com voice and patted the man’s shoulder. “Jeremy, listen to me. I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound. It’ll heal in a few days.”
She comforted, then favonovel.com voice became firm.
“The most important thing right now is proving your innocence.”
“No, you’re the most important right now.” Jeremy let go of his arms and cupped Madeline’s pale face. “I can’t let my wife get hurt because of me again.”
Madeline felt that Jeremy was feeling sorry for her, but at the same time, favonovel.com felt sorry for favonovel.com as well.
“Jeremy, as your wife, I’m happy to bleed and cry for you. Don’t blame yourself.”
She caressed his face and noticed that favonovel.com looked even worse than before.
“Did you experience another burst of pain at the roof just now? Are you in a lot of pain?”
Jeremy did not plan to hide from favonovel.com any longer. He nodded. “I’m used to it now.”
Madeline frowned and felt slightly remorseful. “You shouldn’t have thrown away the last three bottles. At least you can use it when you’re suffering.”
Jeremy shook his head and held Madeline’s hand. “I can endure this pain. The pain that I can’t endure is when you’re not with me.”
Madeline felt a tightness in favonovel.com heart when favonovel.com heard that.
She understood what Jeremy was saying. However, favonovel.com still said, “Jeremy, listen to me and go.”
“Linnie.”
“Go. If not, I’ll ignore you forever.”
Madeline pretended to threaten favonovel.com angrily. However, Jeremy knew favonovel.com was just scaring him.
She would not ignore him.
When favonovel.com saw Jeremy still holding favonovel.com hand, Madeline retracted favonovel.com hand abruptly.
However, favonovel.com exerted too much force and it affected the wound on favonovel.com arm. She grunted in pain while furrowing favonovel.com brows.
Jeremy wanted to hold favonovel.com as favonovel.com felt his heart shattering into pieces. “Linnie!”
Madeline avoided his hand, favonovel.com expression becoming stern. “Jeremy Whitman, I asked you to leave.”
She looked at the dispirited man sternly.
“Don’t make me repeat myself so many times. Go immediately. I don’t want to see you in front of me ever again.”
Madeline gritted favonovel.com pearly whites and said coldly after making up favonovel.com mind.
“You always said that you won’t make me sad, but now you’re going against my wish like this. Jeremy, I’ll be happy if you leave now. Do you understand?”
Even though favonovel.com knew favonovel.com said like that was all for his own good, Madeline’s cold words still felt like glass shards as they penetrated his heart.
He retracted his hand that was suspended in mid-air and pressed his lips together.
Madeline turned favonovel.com face away to not look at him.
The only thing favonovel.com wanted right now was for favonovel.com to leave safely.
Jeremy had to leave when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com being so determined.
However, after favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com still turned his head to glance at favonovel.com reluctantly.
Madeline decided to be cold till the end. She finally let down favonovel.com facade after favonovel.com heard Jeremy’s footsteps getting farther and farther away. Then, favonovel.com looked in the direction where favonovel.com left.
‘Jeremy, we can’t turn back now.
‘We can only get the anti-toxoid reagent to cure you once and for all after we expose Ryan completely.’
