Madeline was stunned for a moment as favonovel.com glanced at the bathroom where the glass door was tightly shut.
“It’ll be over soon, Jeremy. Just hold on a little longer.
“You can unleash the pain just like you used to before.
“I’m your doctor but I’m also your friend. I can help you, ah…”
Madeline heard Shirley’s voice sound non-stop from the bathroom until favonovel.com last amorous whisper. Then, the bathroom turned silent.
The staff glanced at the bathroom weirdly before turning to Madeline to speak.
“I’ve already brought all the ice to the bathroom, Mrs. Whitman. I’ll be leaving then if there isn’t anything else you need.”
Madeline snapped back to reality. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The staff gave a small smile and left.
Madeline dragged Shirley’s luggage over to the bathroom and reached out to open the door only to realize that the glass door was locked from the inside.
“I brought your luggage over, Shirley. How’s Jeremy doing?” Madeline asked while facing the bathroom door but received no reply.
“Shirley? Shirley? Jeremy! Jeremy!” Madeline was growing frantic. She could not bear radio silence at such a time.
Knock, knock, knock. Madeline raised favonovel.com hand to knock on the glass door repetitively, favonovel.com knuckles starting to grow red before favonovel.com knew it.
“Jeremy!” Madeline was getting distraught and could no longer keep calm.
She was about to knock down the bathroom door when it finally opened.
Shirley was drenched and favonovel.com clothes looked disheveled when favonovel.com appeared in Madeline’s line of sight.
Madeline was taken aback, but favonovel.com heart was more interested in how Jeremy was doing. “Where’s Jeremy, Shirley? How is he?”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman. I won’t let anything happen to Jeremy.” Shirley smiled softly. “I need to get something from my luggage. You can go in and take a look at him. I’m sure he’ll feel much better with you by his side.”
Madeline immediately strolled into the bathroom. Walking in, favonovel.com saw Jeremy’s sharp brows furrowed and his eyes closed as favonovel.com soaked in the large round bathtub. The shower above his head continued to spray water onto favonovel.com as dense water droplets fell over his entire body.
Madeline had no idea when Jeremy took his top off, but the setting sun was splashed over his naked upper half from the floor-to-ceiling windows. His flawless skin was glowing white.
Madeline was not in the mindset to focus on such detail now. She quickly ran toward Jeremy. “How are you feeling, Jeremy?”
She reached out to cup the man’s fair cheek only to be shocked by how cold it was upon contact.
“Jeremy.”
Madeline leaned over to place favonovel.com cheek against his, trying to warm favonovel.com up.
However, Jeremy’s entire body was cold as if favonovel.com was some sort of cold-blooded animal. There was not an ounce of warmth in the man’s skin.
The thought that Jeremy had gone through such a situation so many times without favonovel.com knowing brought heat to Madeline’s eyes.
Adam said that favonovel.com was not the person who invented the slow-acting poison. Rather, favonovel.com was tasked to invent its antidote.
Lana was the one who gave Jeremy the poison back then and Adam indeed had connections with her. However, now that favonovel.com looked back on things, perhaps that was never the case at all.
Madeline grew more confused the more favonovel.com tried to think about it. She came up with no leads regarding the poison.
All favonovel.com wanted now was for Jeremy to get better so that the same situation would not happen again.
“Jeremy…”
Madeline leaned against the man helplessly as favonovel.com heart ached for him. Just then, favonovel.com felt a familiar palm gently touching the side of favonovel.com face.
Her misty eyes shot open and were met with Jeremy’s gentle peach blossom eyes.
“Jeremy.”
“I’m sorry I made you worry, Linnie. I’m alright.”
His deep baritone voice drifted into favonovel.com ears, but the man’s tone sounded especially weak.
“Are you really alright?” Madeline was still worried. “Why is your body temperature so low? It didn’t use to be like this.”
