Chapter 1196

He was still angry with her.

Madeline felt lost and wronged, but she could not talk to anyone about it.

She took out her phone and called Ava. “Ava, are you free now? Can you come to the hotel to pick me up?”

Ava could tell that Madeline was drunk from the way she spoke. Without saying another word, she hurried over to the hotel address that Madeline gave her.

Jeremy continued waiting. He was waiting for Madeline to tell him the reason, but before he got an explanation, Ava arrived.

He saw Madeline and Ava walking to each other before linking their arms and walking out of the banquet hall. Madeline looked drunk as she leaned on Ava’s shoulder.

“What’s the matter, Maddie? Why did you drink so much? Did you quarrel with Jeremy?” Ava asked worriedly. She saw that Jeremy was standing not too far away but was ignoring them.

“When will Jeremy stop making you sad?”

Madeline shook her head drunkenly. “He didn’t do anything. It’s all my fault.

“Ava, can I sleep at your place tonight?”

“What happened? Is the quarrel so bad that you can’t go back home?” Ava asked angrily.

Madeline did not answer and continued leaning on Ava even after getting into the car.

The evening breeze came through the car window, but it could not blow away the soreness in Madeline’s heart.

‘Jeremy, how should I explain it to you?

‘If you find out about everything, you’ll start refusing Adam and Ryan’s anti-toxoid test reagent even though it’s the cure to your illness.’

They drove all the way to Ava’s apartment. After getting out of the car, Madeline threw up in the trash can by the roadside.

Ava felt sorry for Madeline and helped her upstairs.

Madeline had no more energy as she lay down on the sofa. Ava poured her a cup of warm water to rinse her mouth and got a towel to wipe Madeline’s face.

“Maddie, are you feeling very uncomfortable?” Ava could not stop worrying about her and thought that she was looking worse.

Madeline lowered her lonely gaze, her eyes turning red. “Ava, tell me. What do I need to do to live a normal life with the person I love?”

Upon hearing that, Ava thought that Jeremy had done something to make Madeline sad.

She took Madeline’s phone, found Jeremy’s number, and called him.

Unexpectedly, the call was immediately connected. Ava scolded angrily, “Jeremy, when are you going to stop hurting Maddie?! Don’t you know how much pain she has to endure to love you and be with you? She doesn’t even have her parents anymore!

“But what about you? What have you done? You still don’t know how to cherish a good wife like her, you scumbag!”

Ava reprimanded Jeremy without any hesitation like last time.

When Ava noticed that Jeremy was not responding, she continued to curse at him, “Speak, you scumbag!”

Two seconds later, Jeremy’s voice sounded faintly. “Open the door.”

“Open the door?” Ava was taken aback and looked toward the door. She thought for a moment before walking over to open the door. She did not expect to see Jeremy actually outside the door.

It turned out he had followed them here.

After Jeremy entered the place, he walked straight to Madeline who was lying on the sofa. He picked up the drunk Madeline in his arms.

Before he left, Ava made sure to remind him seriously. “Jeremy, make sure you cherish Maddie! If you don’t, you’ll regret it in the future!”

Jeremy did not reply. His dignified and worried eyes were only focused on the little woman in his arms.

He hailed a cab by the side of the road and brought Madeline into the backseat.

On the way back, Madeline leaned against his arms and muttered to herself.

Jeremy took Madeline back to their new place because he did not want to wake up the elders in the manor.

After entering the room, Jeremy wanted to put Madeline on the bed and let her rest, but as soon as he let go, Madeline suddenly pulled on his tie. Perhaps it was because Madeline had been drinking, so she was suddenly stronger than usual. She pulled him straight up to her!
