Chapter 1287

Jeremy took the slip of paper and saw a line of words on it. The handwriting was messy to the point that deciphering it felt like an impossible feat.

It took Jeremy a while before he could vaguely read the handwriting. ‘Do not act rashly.’

The doctor spared a glance at the note in Jeremy’s hand. “The person who sent you to the hospital is most likely a doctor as well. Only a doctor would be able to perform such professional first aid. The handwriting too, only us doctors write like that.”

“Doctor?”

Jeremy fell silent.

He remembered seeing a familiar figure running toward him in a daze. The man had called out his name too.

However, Jeremy did not remember knowing a doctor here in Y Country.

…

A few days later, Madeline had recovered greatly.

She washed up and got out of bed. Eloise went to hand her a warm bowl of herbal soup. “I made this myself. It’s for you.”

Madeline was stunned when she saw Eloise meeting her gaze with a gentle look. There was a kind smile on the woman’s elegant features.

Her heart warmed as her wound suddenly felt a lot better.

Eloise took Madeline’s lack of response as not wanting to drink her soup. She looked down disappointedly.

“You hate me too, don’t you? Like my daughter,” Eloise asked dazedly as sorrow filled her eyes. “Get some rest, then. I won’t bother you anymore.”

“Mom,” Madeline called out softly.

Eloise turned and frowned before she chided seriously, “Why are you calling me your mom again? You might share my daughter’s name, but you can’t just simply call other people your mom.”

Regret filled her eyes. She continued saying in a serious tone, “You have no idea what could happen when you mistake someone else as your family.”

Madeline knew what Eloise was referring to.

Smiling in response, Madeline took the bowl of soup from Eloise’s hands and took a small sip.

“It’s delicious,” Madeline praised heartfeltly.

The downcasted expression Eloise wore vanished and replacing it was a faint smile. “Is it really?”

“Yeah.” Madeline nodded and took another sip. “Taste just like my mom’s cooking.”

“Do I look like your mother?” Eloise asked innocently, her eyes catching on to her every word.

Holding the soup, Madeline turned to look at Eloise. “Mmhmm. You look a lot like my mom, but she’s sick right now and can’t recognize me.”

Seeing Madeline sad, Eloise reached out to hold her hand. “Don’t worry too much. Your mom will get better soon.”

Madeline felt the corner of her eyes burn, but she kept the smile on her face. “I believe that my mom will get better too.”

Eloise nodded. “Drink the soup. Sean said you should drink more herbal soups. I also made you some snacks. Let me get them for you.” Eloise got up and walked out.

Perhaps it was the herbal soup, but Madeline felt warmth spreading to every inch of her body.

“I’m sure you’ll recognize me very soon, Mom.” She looked at Eloise’s retreating figure and hoped.

After finishing the soup, Madeline wanted to talk to Sean about something.

She got up to descend the stairs when she heard Ryan’s voice from a room next to her when she was making her way to the side of the stairs. “How’s Jeremy doing?”

Jeremy?

Madeline felt a tug at her heartstrings.

She made her way to the wall with light steps and realized that Ryan was on a call with someone. He seemed to be asking about Jeremy’s situation.

Did something happen to Jeremy?

Madeline’s heart began to race nervously before she knew it.
