Chapter 1184

He glanced at the purse in his hand and started having some wild guesses running in his mind.

‘There must be something important in this purse. Or else, she would never have taken such drastic measures to jump into the river.’

Jeremy thought to himself as his long fingers unzipped the purse.

He wanted to know what was inside the purse that made Madeline put her life on the line.

It was at that moment a nurse came anxiously running out from the emergency room.

Jeremy discarded the idea of peeping into the purse and quickly halted the nurse. “How’s my wife?

Why is she bleeding so much?”

The nurse was worried as well, but after noticing Jeremy was feeling the same way, she explained, “It seems something sharp has cut through your wife’s left thigh, causing the severe bleeding.

“But her blood group is Rhesus negative, a rare type of blood group! Our hospital doesn’t have this kind of blood in our blood bank. We have to go and get it from another hospital! With that being said, we can’t be sure whether there’s such a blood group in their blood bank either,” the nurse said before quickly leaving the scene.

Veins were throbbing on Jeremy’s temples.

Madeline had lost a lot of blood and the hospital did not have the required blood in their blood bank.

Besides, they were unsure whether other hospitals had her blood group.

He knew that Madeline’s blood was of a rare type.

He wanted to just donate all of his blood to Madeline, but he could not do so as their blood groups were not compatible.

Jackson had the same blood group as Madeline but he was only six-years-old. A six-year-old kid could not donate blood.

‘If only Eloise was still around. She could donate her blood to Madeline, but now…’

Jeremy leaned against the wall, feeling troubled. He recalled the fire that burned down the entire Montgomery Manor along with Eloise and Sean who were mercilessly burned to death.

Even though Naomi said he was not the one who set the fire, he still could not be sure about it.

Up to this day, he still could not figure out what had happened when he made his way to Montgomery Manor that day.

He had lost the most crucial part of his memory.

Jeremy was helpless. Looking at the nurses coming in and out made him unable to calm down.

There were a few times he wanted to go forth and ask but was afraid he might hinder Madeline’s treatment.

After some time, the doctor finally showed up.

Jeremy rushed forward and grabbed hold of the female physician. “Doctor, how’s my wife? Is her condition any better?”

The female physician could not help but complain, “As her husband, how could you not know that your wife was so badly injured? Her pants were drenched in blood! Besides, her blood type is so rare. If we didn’t get the blood transferred here in time, you might have lost your wife by now!”

Jeremy frowned as his eyes gave off a sharp glare. “What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by losing my wife?!”

“…” The doctor noticed Jeremy’s murderous glare and realized she had crossed the line. She quickly softened her tone, saying, “Your wife is alright now. You don’t have to worry. You… You can go and accompany her.”

Jeremy retrieved his glare and said coldly, “Thank you.”

“You… You’re welcome,” the doctor replied. As she was terrified, she quickly made a run for it.

In the VIP ward.

Jeremy helped Madeline change into a pair of clean clothing and dried her hair patiently.

The sky outside the window slowly became dark. Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand and kept her company.

He raised his hand and touched her face that had turned pale after losing so much blood. He choked, feeling hurt.

He lifted his head and kissed her hand. His eyes grew red as he said, “You’ve never had a peaceful day after being with me. Linnie, I’ve really let you down…”

His eyes were apologetic as he stared at Madeline who had not awakened. It was as if his heart was stabbed by thousands of knives. It was so painful that he found it hard to breathe.

However, very soon, Jeremy remembered about the purse. It was the purse that made Madeline put her life on the line and jump into the river.

He was guessing perhaps she got injured while in the water.

He placed Madeline’s hand down gently and took the purse beside to open it.

Jeremy took out all the things in the purse, but there were not many. There was only a long wallet, keys, and lipstick. There was nothing special.

‘All these items wouldn’t make Madeline place her life on the line.’ Jeremy found it odd. Just when he was about to place everything back, an item fell out from the gap of the wallet and dropped right beside his foot.
