Chapter 692
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
He looked into a face that looked very similar to Madelineâs. He waved his hand gently as the colors and crystal clear images projected right in his vision.
âAm I able to see things?
âI really can see things again.â
Thinking back, he had actually recovered his vision since last night. He witnessed Yvonne pushing Madeline down the cliff and went over to catch Madeline.
âHmmâ¦â
At that moment, Madeline let out a groan, snapping Jeremy out of his thoughts. He hugged Madeline, who was still drowsy, in his arms.
When he lifted Madeline, he realized that just beneath the area where she was lying was a stone. The back of her head had hit it when they fell.
His heartbeat went erratic as he carried Madeline in his arms and walked straight ahead.
He attempted to search for an escape route, but after strolling around for a long time, he failed.
He looked down at her in his arms. She was still unconscious. Jeremy was anxious and started picking up his pace.
âJeremy.â
He suddenly heard Madelineâs voice and came to a halt. âLinnie? Are you awake?â
Madeline opened her eyes in a daze and nodded. âPut me down.â
âNo, youâre still very weak.â
âIâm not as weak as you might think.â
Jeremy did not dare to go against her after seeing her being so determined.
He put her down cautiously and glanced at her with a concerned look. âLinnie, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?â
Madeline shook her head, and when she was about to speak, she noticed that Jeremy was staring hard at her.
She raised her hand and waved it in front of him.
The next second, Jeremy grabbed onto her hand.
Madelineâs heartbeat was racing. âYouâre able to see?â
Jeremy nodded with a smile. âLinnie, I can see things again.â
He grasped her hand, and in his eyes remained a passionate look. âItâs been a while, Linnie. Youâve gotten much prettier.â
Madeline was dumbfounded. Words could not describe her current emotions. She tried to suppress her palpitation and retrieved her hand, but she was still puzzled.
âWhen did your eyes recover?â She remembered that he could not see a thing when he came to her rescue last night.
âDid he recover after falling down the cliff?â
While still deep in thought, she heard Jeremyâs reply, âLast night, I was so worried looking all over for you, but just when everything seemed hopeless, I suddenly saw Yvonne about to push you down the cliff. Thatâs the moment I was able to see again.â
Madeline was flabbergasted.
âDoes it mean that Iâve got nothing to do with Jeremy losing his sight?
âI didnât expect him to regain his vision out of desperation when he couldnât find me.â
That just showed how much he cared and missed her, to a point where a miracle occurred.
Of course, she did not forget the moment when he rushed to grab onto her and said, âListen up, Eveline. Iâll never let go, not even death can make me let go of you!â
He did not let go of her and held her dearly in his arms, falling with her into the unknown danger.
However, Jeremy knew it deep in his heart that he could regain his vision in such a situation because he had overcome that psychological barrier within him.
Three years ago, Madeline lost her sight because Meredith took away her corneas. This had left a thorn buried deep in him.
He was unable to forgive himself, and even at this moment, he still could not free himself.
A hush befell among them, and Madeline turned around. Just when she took her first step, a burning and prickling sensation struck her, crawling from her toes upward.
She wanted to look at what was going on, but Jeremy suddenly went in front of her. His expression sank as he kneeled.
Madeline wanted to evade him, but Jeremy had already grabbed onto her left ankle.
âWhat are you planning to do, Jeremy?â
