Chapter 643

It was Winston’s voice.

Madeline quickly turned to the side and stood behind the wall.

With her gaze low, she saw Jackson blinking beside her while looking at her questioningly with his big, pure, and clean eyes. Madeline suddenly felt as if she had done something wrong and her cheeks became slightly warm.

“Mommy, what are you doing? Why aren’t you going in to see Daddy?” the little guy asked innocently.

A touch of ruddiness appeared on Madeline’s fair cheeks. “Your dad seems to have woken up, so I won’t go in.”

“Why?” Jackson fluttered his big lively eyes, not understanding.

Madeline bent over and touched Jackson’s head while smiling softly. “Jack, you’re still young and don’t understand many things. Mom is a little tired and wants to sleep a little longer. You can go in and see your father, but please don’t tell him that I was here.”

The little guy was now even more confused but nodded obediently.

Madeline returned to the ward and lay down quietly.

Recalling the moment when Jeremy was trapped in the fire and was unable to give any response, she felt an inexplicable lingering fear.

After Jeremy woke up, his throat felt dry and it was dark in front of his eyes. He stretched out his hand, but he could not even catch the outline of his palm.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Winston immediately called the doctor over. However, the first thing Jeremy asked about was Madeline’s condition.

“How is Linnie? Is she okay?” His low voice was a little hoarse and weak.

“Madeline is fine, don’t worry.”

Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief silently, a peaceful smile overflowing from the corners of his lips.

However…

He raised his left hand again and opened his eyes, looking at it for a long time. Still, he could not see anything.

He laughed at himself calmly.

The doctor arrived soon and checked Jeremy’s condition again.

Jeremy told him that his vision was blurry and that he could not even see anything. The doctor hurriedly did a test and examined him. It turned out that Jeremy’s retina was damaged by the excessive smoke, which meant that he was now almost similar to a blind person.

Was this retribution?

Jeremy still smiled, finally feeling deeply Madeline’s confusion and helplessness back then.

After learning that Madeline’s ward was next door, Jeremy quickly made the decision that he was leaving the hospital.

“Don’t tell Linnie about my blindness.” He told everyone who knew about his condition that he did not want to cause Madeline any trouble.

He no longer had any regrets the moment she reached her hand out to him during that critical moment.

At least he knew that Madeline did not really hate him to the point of wanting him to die.

For him, this was enough.

Madeline slept deeply all afternoon, and when she woke up, there was no one in the ward.

She immediately got out of bed and carefully avoided stepping on her injured foot to go to Jeremy’s ward again.

She wanted to take a look at his condition and then leave, but she found that the ward was empty.

A nurse happened to be passing by, so she stepped forward and called out to them, “Excuse me, the patient in this ward, where did he go?”

The nurse glanced at the ward, smiled, and replied, “He was discharged not long ago.”

Discharged?

Madeline was stunned.

Although, since he was discharged from the hospital, it meant that he was not seriously injured.

She was thinking silently, but there suddenly seemed to be a feeling of loneliness flowing in her heart.

He was just across the wall. He had been discharged but did not come to say hello to her.

The corners of Madeline’s lips pulled up into a smile.

‘Eveline, he has already let go of you.

‘But why do I seem to be unable to let go again?

‘Why can’t I let go of this man who once made me want to die?

‘Don’t be stupid again.’

Eloise watched Jeremy leave from downstairs before heading back. She raised her eyes to see Madeline standing at the door of the ward in a daze.

She walked over quickly. “Eveline.”

Madeline abruptly returned to her senses. Seeing Eloise approaching, she asked casually, “Has Jeremy been discharged from the hospital?”

“Yes, he… He was just discharged from the hospital.”
