Chapter 1360
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
A firm glint appeared in Jeremyâs deep eyes. He grabbed Madelineâs thin shoulders and wanted to take her back to the room to change.
However, Madeline was not obedient. She desperately broke free with a domineering look in her eyes.
âI told you to leave me alone. Donât you understand?â
âI can ignore anyone in my life, but I just canât ignore you.â Jeremyâs aura at the moment was more domineering than Madelineâs.
He could not let this continue anymore. However, just as he grabbed Madelineâs arm and took a step forward, he suddenly received a firm slap on his face.
With a slap, Madelineâs palm landed on Jeremyâs face heavily.
Jeremy was stunned for a while as his handsome face was turned to the side. He was unable to feel the pain on his cheeks, but his heart really hurt.
He did not know what he could do for Madeline. The least he could do was calm her down so that she was not as emotional as she was now.
However, just when Jeremy was about to recompose himself and continue to comfort Madeline, she suddenly raised his hands and held his face.
Jeremy looked at the little woman whose emotions had changed quite unexpectedly. Her gaze was soft at the moment, and her beautiful eyes were filled with heavy apologies and worries.
âJeremy, Iâm sorry. I donât know what happened to me. I didnât mean to slap you. Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry!â
Madeline apologized nervously, looking extremely sad.
Jeremy held her hand to his lips and kissed it softly. âLinnie, no one is blaming you. I wonât blame you either, so donât blame yourself.â
After listening to Jeremyâs words, Madeline felt even more guilty. She raised her misty eyes and was feeling troubled. âHow did I become like this? How could I hit you?â
âLinnie, look at me.â Jeremy stretched out his hands and cupped Madelineâs cheeks to make her face him.
Now that they were looking into each otherâs eyes, there was a gentle glow in his orbs.
âLinnie, youâll eventually recover. Donât be so hard on yourself or even hurt yourself. If you feel uncomfortable and need to vent, just come to me.â
As he said that, the look in his eyes became more pampering.
âLinnie, Iâm your husband. Iâm your strongest support and also the haven for you to shelter from the wind when youâre tired. Iâm also the object you can release your anger on when youâre unhappy, so you donât need to apologize to me because youâre my wife.â
Madeline listened to the words that were escaping from Jeremyâs lips and the tears in her eyes slipped quietly down.
âDonât cry.â
Jeremy bowed his head to kiss the warm teardrops rolling down her eyes as his heart shattered into pieces. Then, he took Madeline who was soaking wet into his arms.
âLinnie, as long as youâre fine, you can treat me however you want.â
Madeline felt her heart aching as she hugged the man tighter in her arms. âJeremyâ¦â
Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief in silence. Although Madelineâs mood was stabilized for now, he had bigger worries.
Her mental state was not doing well. She might go out of control even with a little stimulation.
âBut Linnie, what should I do to make you go back to who you were in the past?â
Two days later, Jeremy learned that Ryan had not regained consciousness yet and was still in a coma in the ICU.
Jeremy planned to drop by, but when he was about to go out, Madeline stopped him.
âJeremy, Iâll go with you.â
Upon hearing Madelineâs request that she took the initiative to make, Jeremy seemed to hesitate.
âLinnie, do you really want to go with me?â
âYeah.â Madeline nodded, a faint light flashing across her dim eyes. âYou stand up where you fall.â
Madeline suddenly said that sentence in a very serious tone. At this moment, she did not seem to be crazy nor half-witted at all.
Jeremy smiled and nodded before taking Madelineâs hand and heading to the hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the ICU, Jeremy saw Mr. and Mrs. Jones standing at the door with panicked expressions. Mrs. Jones was even crying as she looked into the ICU through the glass window. âRye! Rye! How could this happen?â
