Chapter 1356

He felt that she was getting anxious. “Linnie, don’t be afraid. I won’t let you out of my sight again. Don’t be afraid, okay?”

Madeline was stunned for a moment. Then, she finally raised her head and met Jeremy’s soft eyes that were as gentle as a spring breeze. There seemed to be a flash of clarity in her eyes and suddenly, she had a clear recognition of the man in front of her.

“Jeremy? Are you Jeremy?”

“Yes, I am Jeremy. I’m your husband, Eveline Montgomery.” Jeremy gave an affirmative answer.

Madeline’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly as if she was in distress. “Jeremy, I don’t seem to recognize you, but I remember that Jeremy is the love of my life.”

Jeremy felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle when he heard that. “Linnie…”

“Why don’t I even recognize the man I love most? Jeremy, will you blame me for this?”

“You dummy, why would I blame you?” Jeremy stroked Madeline’s worried face before bowing his head and kissing her gently. “You didn’t mean to forget me. You’re just sick.”

Madeline raised her head and eyes that were filled with anxiety. “Then when will I be better? Will I never be better? Will I just forget you completely?”

“No,” Jeremy affirmed without hesitation. He held Madeline who had lost a lot of weight and stroked her hair. His fingers were running through her soft short hair as they became entangled with each other.

“Linnie, even if you really forget me completely one day, I believe you’ll fall in love with me again. The bond between us can’t be erased so easily.”

Jeremy looked at Madeline’s worried eyes tenderly. “Linnie, no matter what happens to you, I’ll take care of you forever. I love you.”

Madeline looked at Jeremy blankly as a small smile blossomed on her face. Then, she leaned against his chest and closed her eyes without any worries.

The next day when Jeremy woke up, he saw a lot of public opinion on the internet. The netizens were all focusing on the fact that he was abusing his influence to retaliate against Ryan. Someone even said that the Whitmans and the Joneses had some beef between them.

They said that the Whitmans killed someone from the Jones family more than ten years ago.

In just one night, the Whitmans got into a lot of negative news.

Jeremy could guess that Mr. and Mrs. Jones were the ones behind this. They wanted to use public opinion to retaliate against him.

Old Master Whitman saw everything and felt it was necessary to come forward to clarify that the grievances of the previous generation should not be dealt with by the younger generation.

However, Jeremy stopped the old man. As a descendant of the Whitmans, he had the responsibility to share and bear all the doubts for this family.

However, the biggest public opinion on the internet was still about Jeremy shooting Ryan. What was even more outrageous was that a group of reporters was blocking the gates of Whitman Manor early in the morning, saying that they were here to find out the truth.

Jeremy frowned unhappily when he looked at Madeline who had been awakened.

If it was not because he needed to take care of Madeline, he would have already gone down to drive these people away. Now, he could only let Karen deal with them.

However, when Madeline finished washing up and went downstairs to eat, more and more people started gathering around the gates. Madeline was finding it strange when she was eating breakfast.

“Why is it so noisy at the door?”

Jeremy caressed her head. “It’s just a bunch of annoying flies. I’m going to chase them away now.

Linnie, stay here and eat your breakfast like a good girl.”

Madeline nodded half-believingly and looked at Jeremy’s back blankly.

Karen was chasing the reporters away at the gates, but those people were clearly prepared and asking extremely tricky questions.

When they saw Jeremy coming out, they turned their microphones and cameras to Jeremy one by one as they rushed to ask questions.

“Mr. Whitman, what are your comments about the internet saying that you shot Ryan?”

“Why was Ryan with Mrs. Whitman when he was shot? They were also seen pulling and pushing at each other. Have you always been in a love triangle?”

“Did you shoot Ryan because he falsely accused you of killing someone? You’re using your power to deal with personal matters, right?”

“Or are you just venting your anger because Eveline Montgomery was having an affair with Ryan?”

After listening to these questions, Jeremy felt that these people were just digging their own graves.

He raised his eyebrows indifferently and his imposing manner alone scared these people into gulping.

When he was about to warn them, the journalists’ eyes suddenly lit up as they all looked behind him…
