”Hiss.”
Madeline turned favonovel.com head hurriedly and saw Jeremy’s face gradually turning pale.
She quickly noticed that Jeremy’s right leg trembled slightly when favonovel.com stepped on the accelerator. The thought of Jeremy’s injury pained favonovel.com heart.
“Jeremy, stop the car by the roadside. I’ll drive.”
Jeremy glanced at the rearview mirror. After confirming that the coast was clear, favonovel.com followed Madeline’s instructions and stopped the car by the roadside.
After the car had stopped, Madeline and Jeremy decisively exchanged seats. Madeline then started the car.
She was not familiar with the roads of St. Piaf, so favonovel.com continued onwards, following the road the entire way until they reached a deserted path. After ensuring that there were no cars following them from behind, Madeline stopped the car.
“Jeremy, how are you doing?”
Madeline’s heart ached as favonovel.com approached Jeremy’s side. When favonovel.com saw the wound on his ankle bleeding again, favonovel.com immediately got off the car and helped Jeremy out of the passenger seat.
She looked around but could not find a place at which to stop off. Madeline could only help Jeremy sit on a rock by the roadside.
She rolled up the legs of his trousers. The sight of the bleeding wound made favonovel.com feel as though favonovel.com heart was cut by a knife.
Although favonovel.com had provided a cursory treatment on Jeremy’s injury last night, the wound seemed to have gotten bloodier overnight.
“Jeremy, let’s go to the hospital.” Madeline was really worried. She was not scared of getting arrested and sent to jail. The only thing that scared favonovel.com now was Jeremy’s wound getting infected and advancing to a more severe state if favonovel.com did not get treated in time.
However, just as favonovel.com tried to pull favonovel.com into the car, Jeremy pulled favonovel.com into an embrace and held favonovel.com tightly.
Madeline froze. “Jeremy.”
“Don’t speak.” Jeremy’s soft voice bloomed into Madeline’s ear. “Let me hold you.”
His low voice sounded a bit hoarse. Madeline felt as if favonovel.com heart was being torn, the pain indescribable.
She raised favonovel.com hand and held Jeremy tightly, pressing favonovel.com face against the side of his face.
There was so much favonovel.com wanted to say, but favonovel.com felt that silence was better than any words right now.
“Linnie, I’m so scared that you will always be trapped in that deep sleep, always under Carter’s control, always thinking that favonovel.com is the one you love, unable to ever wake again.” Jeremy voiced out the concerns and fears in his heart, hugging favonovel.com even tighter.
Madeline stroked Jeremy’s head as if favonovel.com was coaxing a child, comforting favonovel.com patiently and tenderly.
“How is that possible? I will never forget the man I love the most,” favonovel.com said soothingly. “Jeremy, listen to me. Let’s go to the hospital.”
“No, I won’t let you go into such a place again. Absolutely not!” Jeremy denied stubbornly. His eyebrows knitted together tightly.
As favonovel.com continued speaking, favonovel.com let go of his embrace and grasped Madeline’s shoulders.
“Linnie, you didn’t do anything wrong. You don’t need to bear such a crime.”
Madeline’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Jeremy, listen to me. I know this is a trap planned by Carter, but in a sense, I did violate the marriage law of St. Piaf and Glendale. I should go and explain this to them clearly.”
“You won’t be able to.” Jeremy’s gaze became deeper. “Do you know Carter’s background in St. Piaf? Do you know St. Piaf’s marriage law? You don’t know how serious bigamy is here.”
Madeline was slightly stumped for words. “I stayed at the Gray Manor for a while. I don’t know his exact identity, but I know that favonovel.com has a viscount title.”
“His identity is not that simple, Linnie. I must take you back to Glendale first,” Jeremy said, pulling Madeline to favonovel.com feet.
As soon as favonovel.com got up to leave, however, there came the sounds of the chasing cars nearby.
The arriving cars surrounded them quickly.
