Chapter 1326
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
His low magnetic voice somewhat bewitchingly passed through Madelineâs ears like a summer night breeze.
Madeline stood still as if she was caught in a trance as she watched the handsome face slowly approach.
Jeremy tentatively pecked Madeline on the lips, and just as he expected, Madeline did not dodge him.
Jeremyâs heart rate started to get irregular. He grabbed Madelineâs waist and kissed her again.
With her eyes wide open, Madeline let Jeremy take over without a hint of resistance.
Jeremy felt a little happy that Madeline was submissive to him.
He could feel something. Maybe Madeline did not remember what kind of person Jeremy was, but Madeline still had feelings for him through contact. Therefore, she did not resist him as much as before.
Jeremy lay down with Madeline in his arms. He pulled the belt of Madelineâs bathrobe, but she suddenly pulled away from him.
He opened his eyes to see her looking flustered, and her eyes were full of panic.
âLinnie, whatâs the matter?â He stroked her cheek worriedly.
Madeline broke free from his arms. âWhat am I doing? What the hell am I doing?â she asked herself in confusion before jumping out of bed and running to the door. âJeremy, Iâm going to Jeremy! Jeremy!â
âLinnie.â
Jeremy immediately tried to catch up with her. He was upset about why he could not help himself. If he had not done that to Madeline, she would not be reacting the way she was now.
âWhy did I provoke her at such a time?â
Jeremy hated himself for it.
Madeline was about to run to the door and leave when Jeremy suddenly felt a pang in his heart. It was suffocating him.
He could feel the poison taking effect in his body again.
âLinnie.â
Jeremy struggled toward the entrance. He tried to grab her and keep her here, but his physical condition would not allow it.
Madeline was provoked by Jeremyâs behavior earlier. Now, she just wanted to find Jeremyâthe man who could make her feel secure.
However, just as her hand touched the doorknob, she heard a thump behind her.
Madeline paused and looked back to see Jeremy on the ground.
She immediately withdrew her hand that was about to turn the doorknob.
âLinnie, donât go.â Jeremy looked at her with an intense longing and reluctance in his eyes.
However, Madeline only saw Jeremy with furrowed eyebrows and a pale face.
Somehow, looking at him in such pain, she felt as if something was clenching her heart. It was so uncomfortable that she could not breathe.
Madeline suddenly turned around and ran back to him. âWhatâs come over you?â
Jeremy grabbed Madelineâs hand. âLinnieâ¦â
âIâm here,â replied Madeline. Seeing that Jeremyâs expression was worsening, she anxiously held his hand. âWhatâs going on with you? Are you ill? Iâll get a cab to take you to the hospital!â
She reached for her phone to make a call but realized she did not have one at all.
âLinnie, Iâm alright. Iâll be alright in a minute. I can handle the pain as long as I have you by my side.â
Jeremy comforted her. He had become accustomed to the affliction of his illness.
Hearing Jeremyâs words, Madeline somehow felt even more distressed and tears started to escape her eyes.
However, Jeremy was happy to see Madeline cry.
The fact that she felt sorry for him showed that she still had feelings for him.
âLinnieâ¦â Jeremy tried hard to smile to make Madeline think he was not in that much pain. Just then, the door of his apartment opened and a figure walked inâ¦
