Chapter 1359
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jeremy got nervous as he approached the bathroom for some reason.
He was sure that Madeline was in the bathroom, but judging from this strange sound, he did not know what Madeline was doing.
Jeremy sped toward the bathroom and pushed the door open.
He glanced inside but did not see Madeline. He only heard the sound of water coming from the area where the bathtub was placed.
âLinnie?â Jeremy called out Madelineâs name and quickly walked in without thinking.
As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Jeremy felt something tugging at his heartstrings while he felt every cell in his body was in pain âLinnie!â
Jeremy ran over to grab Madeline who was desperately pouring cold water all over herself.
She was drenched all over and her short hair was completely wet. Her pale face was also covered with beads of water.
âLinnie, what are you doing?â Jeremy snatched the showerhead away and picked her up aggressively.
Madeline looked at the nervous and worried man with dull eyes but she only opened her lips in an unusually calm and even colder manner.
âLeave me alone. Go away.â
âHow can I not care about you? Why are you hurting yourself like this?â Jeremy felt as if a knife was slicing through his heart. When he looked at her wet body, his heart ached for her.
However, Madeline was still calm while her initially lively pupils looked as indifferent as a pool of water.
âIâm not hurting myself. Didnât you say that Iâve gone crazy? A lot of my memories are blurry, so I just want to regain clarity,â she said as she forcefully pushed Jeremyâs hand away.
âLet go.â
âLinnie, youâre not crazy. Donât listen to those peopleâs nonsense.â
âTheyâre not talking nonsense. I really feel that something is wrong with me,â Madeline said calmly with a glint of deja vu in her eyes. âLet go of your hands.â
âLinnie.â
âI said let go,â Madeline said in a cold voice.
There were thousands of urges in Jeremyâs heart to carry Madeline outside, but at this moment, her eyes and attitude looked like that of another person.
He had no choice but to slowly loosen his clasped hands. No matter how domineering and strong he was, he felt weak at this moment.
He could only listen to her. He did want to irritate her or offend her.
After Jeremy released his hands, Madeline picked up the showerhead and put it on top of her head again. She allowed the cold water to pour down from her head to her toes.
Madeline closed her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows. She tried to remember some of the messy memories she had forgotten, but it seemed that apart from the penetrating coldness, those memories were covered in dust and torn apart. It was difficult for her to piece them together again.
Jeremy stood by and watched. He watched the water dripping all over Madelineâs body. Then, he clenched his fists slowly as his brows locked together.
How could he stand by and watch her torture herself like this?
He could not do it!
Jeremy stepped forward uncontrollably and decisively stopped Madeline.
âLinnie, thatâs enough! This is enough!â He clasped her shoulders tightly, his eyes having grown red at some point. âDonât torture yourself anymore. Youâve done nothing wrong. I wonât allow you to hurt yourself like this!â
Madeline glared at Jeremy irritably when she heard the words. âI just want to calm down. Why are you bothering me? Can you just leave?â
âI wonât leave. Iâll be wherever you are! Eveline Montgomery, I said Iâll never let anyone hurt you again, so youâre not allowed to hurt yourself too!â
