Chapter 1342
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
When it was approaching dawn, Jeremy heard a commotion coming from outside. He went out and reminded Karen to keep an eye on Madeline if she woke up.
Karen was puzzled but still nodded and agreed. Just when she wanted to ask about the reason behind it, Jeremy had already spun around and returned to the room.
As Madeline was still sleeping, Jeremy could close his eyes to take a nap.
However, not long after he fell asleep, he started having nightmares. He dreamt that Madeline had escaped again and this made him jitter.
He suddenly woke up because of shock and realized the other half of the bed was empty.
âLinnie.â
Jeremy got out of bed and rushed out of the room. The moment he wanted to head downstairs to look for Madeline, he saw her talking to the two children in the hall downstairs. This made his heart that was beating anxiously suddenly calm down.
Jeremy headed back to the room, cleaned up, and hurriedly changed his clothes. He then ran downstairs to Madelineâs side. All he wanted was to remain by her side and protect her.
âLinnie,â he called out to her.
Madeline, who was watching Lillian drawing, raised her eyes when she heard someone calling her.
When she saw that it was Jeremy, she gave out a faint smile.
âYouâve woken up, Jeremy.â
Jeremy was surprised. âLinnie, you can recognize me?â
Madeline smiled and looked at him. âYouâre going to bring me over to have my psychological treatment, right? Iâm all set. Letâs leave after youâve eaten something.â
ââ¦â Jeremy was dumbfounded once again.
âMadeline took the initiative to mention meeting a psychologist.
âSo does that mean she knows sheâs sick?â
Jeremy just simply took a bite of breakfast before bringing Madeline over to meet a psychologist.
He did not expect Madeline to be so cooperative and accept the treatment. Even the psychologist said that Madelineâs positive attitude would benefit her in her recovery.
That reply boosted Jeremyâs confidence.
Madeline gently smiled after she noticed the thrilled expression on Jeremyâs face. âAre you very happy that Iâll soon be well?â
Jeremy stopped walking. âLinnie, did you recall something?â
âI just remember what happened yesterday.â Madeline acted intimately by raising her hand and holding onto Jeremyâs arm. She let out a bashful smile, saying, âJeremy, did we use to go on dates like this while strolling along the streets?â
Hearing her question made Jeremy feel utterly bitter from within.
They almost never went on such dates before.
During the years when she was sincerely in love with him, he totally let her down.
She was his wife, yet he was into another lady who pretended to be her.
Jeremyâs eyes went teary as he nodded. âYeah, we used to go on dates like this.â
He had no choice but to lie. He could not bring himself to tell her that he used to disappoint her.
âThen, letâs have a date today. Who knows I might remember something?â Madeline suggested.
Jeremy felt a pinch in his heart, but he nodded with a smile. âSure. Letâs go on a date.â
Madeline smiled brightly. It seemed she was in a better mood now.
Jeremy brought Madeline to the nearby mall for window shopping. Before leaving, Madeline pointed to the bookstore ahead. âThe little boy named Jack said he wants to read this particular book. I want to buy it for him.â
Jeremy got the message and entered the bookstore with her while holding her hand.
When Madeline was looking for the book, Jeremyâs attention was caught by a book regarding psychological treatment. He picked it up and looked at a few pages. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Madeline who was looking for the book not far away. From time to time, he would observe her condition.
Madeline was seriously looking for the book for Jack. After circling two rounds around the bookshelf that was near Jeremy, she finally found the book that Jackson wanted. It was just that the book was placed at the highest spot on the bookshelf.
Even though she was not that short, it would still be hard for her to get the book.
Soon, Madeline thought of Jeremy. She wanted to call out to Jeremy, but just when she spun around, she suddenly felt a shadow behind her. The next second, there was a voice that made her scared. It was like a nightmare ringing in her ears.
âIs this the book that you want? Let me help you get it.â
