Chapter 938

Madeline used her peripheral view to glance at the man who did not even want to look at her. “I don’t have any other choice.”

She stopped looking at him and swallowed her tears into her belly.

Karen did not know what else to do either, so she helped Madeline lay down slowly on the sofa.

When Karen saw that there were two other bodyguards in the living room, Karen drove them out angrily. “Get out! Get out! All of you!”

She looked at the man who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at his phone.

“Jeremy, even if you don’t recognize Eveline, are you really that cold-blooded to ignore her in her current situation? Will you ignore a person’s life and her unborn child?”

Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows, and when he turned around, he was obviously very unhappy.

He was about to warn Karen when he caught a glimpse of Madeline who was lying on the sofa, sweaty and pale.

For some peculiar reason, Jeremy suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart.

He glanced at the two bodyguards at the door and motioned for them to go out.

When Karen saw that the two men were gone, she took out a tissue to wipe the sweat on Madeline’s forehead. Then, she held up her legs while her own heart was in a panic.

She had no experience delivering babies, and to make matters worse, the baby was going to be born prematurely.

The physical condition of premature babies was not as good as that of full-term babies. If they were not sent to an incubator for care after birth, they might not be able to live long.

Madeline’s head was all muddled at that moment, but she would never forget the haunting pain.

When she was in prison, she had been induced to give birth and her first child was taken away from her just like that.

That heartache was especially clear in her mind at that moment.

Madeline gritted her teeth and clenched her hands on the sofa cover until her veins were popping up.

However, she was still tenacious and did not make any painful cries for help.

She knew that the care and tenderness she wanted most at that moment was not available.

Karen could not bear to see Madeline that way, and it was the first time she saw how strong Madeline was.

Jeremy also seemed a little lost by the scene before him.

He walked slowly in front of Madeline and looked down at her pale face that was covered with sweat.

She frowned and gritted her teeth. When he saw the pain she was enduring, it was as if his heart was also experiencing an invisible sharp pain along with her. For some reason, his eyebrows were also locked deeply in a furrow.

From her peripheral view, Madeline saw Jeremy’s figure. She struggled to lift up her white palms and grabbed his trouser legs as she panted heavily. “Even though our situation is this way, this still counts as fulfilling the promise you made to me last time. You said that you were going to accompany me when I give birth to this child…”

After she said that, Madeline’s hand sank weakly.

Jeremy’s heartstrings suddenly tensed up. He reached out and grabbed Madeline’s hand.

“For the sake of your baby, I’ll take you to the hospital.” Jeremy sighed.

Madeline shook her head. “It’s too late…” She sighed regretfully. “I hope that I’ll have a chance to see this kid. I don’t know if he’ll be more like you or more like me…”

“Jeremy, please get someone to prepare some hot water and scissors! And call an ambulance! Call an ambulance now!” Karen yelled in a mess.

Jeremy stared at Madeline for a long time, then coldly ordered the servant to prepare those things.

He wanted to ignore Madeline and not look at how hard she was pushing, but he could not help it and continued to stare at her.

This inexplicable worry made Jeremy suspicious. ‘Is it true that I’m her husband?

‘If not, shouldn’t it be time for me to sit on the sidelines and turn a blind eye?’

“Eveline, stay awake! Baby, stay awake!”
