Chapter 1116

Madeline opened her blurry eyes in confusion to see Jeremy examining her with his eyes.

“What’s wrong, Jeremy?”

“I’m tired,” he said flatly before going into the bathroom.

Then, Madeline heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She lay on the bed in puzzlement.

Why did it feel like he was refusing to touch her?

Was it because of Ryan?

After Jeremy came out of the shower, he did not say anything to Madeline before getting into bed to play with his phone.

“Jeremy, you should sleep early if you’re tired.” Madeline picked up her pajamas and was about to go take a shower.

However, after she said that to him, Jeremy did not react and only grunted in response.

Madeline felt her heart sinking at this response.

She felt as if a cold wind had penetrated her heart. At that moment, she felt her heart getting so cold.

Madeline showered with her mind full of questions and concern.

She was worried that the poison in Jeremy’s body was not completely expelled, so that was why he was acting weird and refusing to be intimate with her.

After showering, Madeline put on her bathrobe and went back to the room, only to see Jeremy lying on the bed.

However, he had his back toward her and was sleeping on his side.

Madeline quietly got into the bed and looked dispiritedly at the man’s back.

They had not seen each other in half a year.

After she was informed of his death, she never imagined reuniting with him again.

However, now that such a day had come, she did not think he would be treating her so coldly.

Madeline was sad as she imagined what he had gone through in these six months. Then, she got close to him and held his shoulders while feeling sorry.

She knew he was not asleep, so she said softly, “Jeremy, has your body completely recovered?”

“Yeah,” replied Jeremy. He did not turn around to face her.

“How?” Madeline asked.

She wanted to know where Jeremy went, what he went through, and whether he was in pain throughout those months of his disappearance.

She was concerned about him, so she wanted to know everything about him.

“The things that happened weren’t great, so I don’t want to talk about it,” Jeremy said briefly. It was clear he did not want to talk about what happened to him in those months.

Madeline could sense Jeremy’s avoidance, so she stopped asking. She pressed her face against Jeremy’s neck and took in the smell of grass on his body before closing her eyes in bliss.

“Jeremy, did you come to visit me in Rye’s house when I had a fever half a year ago? I could smell you, but why didn’t you want to see me?”

Rye.

When Jeremy heard that name, his eyes darkened.

He turned around and looked at the smiling woman who was snuggling up to him. Then, he lifted his hand to hold her shoulder as his eyes looked into hers passionately.

“I was scared that you’d hate and dislike me if you saw me like this.”

“No way!” Madeline frowned and looked at the man’s handsome face. Her eyes were shining with her love toward him. “Jeremy, I don’t love you because of your looks.”

Jeremy smiled, pulling Madeline into his strong and warm embrace. “It’s worth suffering all that pain now that you’ve said that to me.”

“Jeremy…”

Madeline enveloped herself in Jeremy’s embrace as she took in his scent. Then, she started drifting to sleep unbeknownst to her.

It was already noon when she woke up the next day.

Madeline had not gotten such a good night’s sleep in the past six months.

However, when she saw the empty half of the bed, she started worrying.

She was scared that last night was just a beautiful dream.

Madeline got out of the bed to look for Jeremy. When she was putting on her clothes, she heard screams from the balcony.
