Madeline ran out of the bathroom and saw Jeremy lying on the floor next to the bed.
“Jeremy!”
She frantically ran over and knelt by the man. The man’s sharp brows were knitted as if favonovel.com was enduring severe agony. Madeline’s heart raced in panic.
“What happened, Jeremy? Is the poison acting up again?”
Madeline pulled Jeremy by his shoulders so that favonovel.com could lean against favonovel.com chest.
She wanted to carry favonovel.com to the bed if favonovel.com could but favonovel.com was not strong enough.
“What happened? Adam himself said that the lapse between each attack would become longer and longer. Why is this happening now?”
Madeline was anxious as favonovel.com tears began to fall without restraint, falling onto Jeremy’s face.
“Don’t worry, Linnie,” Jeremy spoke through the pain and reached out to caress Madeline’s cheek. “I’m already used to the pain. It won’t be for very long. I’ll be fine soon.”
He comforted favonovel.com as his seductive lips were pulled into a small smile to placate favonovel.com worry.
However, the more favonovel.com was considerate of favonovel.com emotions, the more Madeline’s heart ached.
“Adam. I’ll call Adam. He’ll know what to do!” Madeline scrambled for favonovel.com phone and immediately dialed for the man.
However, the phone rang but no one answered the call.
Madeline waited nervously for Adam to pick up the phone and just as it was about to finish ringing, the call was connected.
The person who picked up was a woman.
Madeline could tell that it was the woman who looked just like Cathy.
“Miss Young, I’m looking for Adam. It’s an emergency, so could you pass the phone to him? Please! And quickly too!”
Amy heard the fright in Madeline’s tone and immediately replied, “Take a deep breath. I’ll pass the phone to Adam straight away.”
“Thank you!”
Madeline thanked her. One of favonovel.com hands was holding onto the phone while the other gripped Jeremy’s shoulder so that the man could lean against favonovel.com leg.
Seeing the man’s complexion turning pale from the pain, Madeline felt herself about to crack from the anxiousness.
“This is Adam. What happened?”
Adam’s voice sounded from the other end. It had not even been 20 seconds yet Madeline felt like it took forever.
“Jeremy is suddenly in pain, Adam! It’s the same symptoms as when the poison acts up. We’re not in Glendale now and it’ll take at least a few hours on the plane if we even get there. What can I do now? Is there anything I can do to lessen the pain?”
Madeline did favonovel.com best to suppress favonovel.com haywire emotions as favonovel.com relayed the situation, but the tremble in favonovel.com voice revealed favonovel.com unease.
“Didn’t favonovel.com just suffer a bout not too long ago? Why did it relapse again?” Adam was also curious, but now was not the time to investigate its cause. “Calm down for a bit, Eveline. There’s nothing much you can do now but feed favonovel.com two pills of pain medication. If you can, I’d like you to get some ice. Get as much as you can. The ice will help subdue the pain.”
Adam then ended it with a word of comfort. “This isn’t the first time the poison is acting up and Jeremy should know of his own situation. You don’t need to be too worried. I promise you that he’ll be alright. This won’t put favonovel.com in life-threatening danger.”
“Thank you!” Madeline thanked the man and looked down at Jeremy who had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. “I’ll go look for ice, Jeremy. Just hold on for a little longer,” favonovel.com said before getting up and rushing to the door.
She did not have the time to call for room service, so favonovel.com went directly to the front desk and told them that favonovel.com needed ice for analgesia.
The hotel staff understood and promised to send ice to their room immediately.
