Chapter 1456

“Where am I?” Madeline parted her lips and asked the man who had his back toward her.

The man slowed down and turned his face slightly. His resolute and perfect jaw looked even more exceptional under the light.

“It’s not important where you are. If you still want to go home, then stop your tears.” His voice was also as cold as his aura.

Madeline clutched the handkerchief tightly. “Were you the one who saved me?”

“I was just passing by.” His answer was straightforward.

Madeline remembered that she did see another yacht heading toward her before the yacht Ryan was on exploded.

Perhaps this man was on that yacht and coincidentally, he witnessed the yacht exploding so he saved her.

“Thank you.” Madeline looked at the man’s back and thanked him. At the same time, she remembered Ryan who was still on the yacht. “Did you save my friend too?”

“Friend?” The man sounded puzzled. Then, he turned around. “Do you mean the man who was chasing you on the other yacht?”

When she heard this, Madeline was stunned. Then, she answered softly, “Yeah.”

The man looked at Madeline with no expression on his face. After two seconds, he answered, “You should take care of yourself.”

Madeline did not know how to feel when she heard that.

She was hurt so badly, so Ryan must also be horribly hurt as well. However, Madeline had no idea about Ryan’s condition right now.

She picked up the handkerchief to softly wipe away the tears in the corners of her eyes.

That was right, she could not cry.

She had seen everything, so what was she afraid of?

Madeline tried to comfort herself this way, but when night fell, she could not help but overthink again.

She did not know how badly hurt her face was. Would she be able to restore it to the way she looked before?

She started to have nightmares. She dreamed that she went back to Jeremy with a battered face and he pushed her away before walking away with a woman who looked the same as she previously looked.

Her children did not want to pay attention to her and her parents did not know her. She was like an ugly duckling who had been abandoned. She could only walk away in disappointment.

This dream kept on repeating, and in the end, it became a nightmare that pestered her to no end.

After much struggle, Madeline woke up from her nightmare and realized that she was covered in a cold sweat. In addition to that, her face was so unbearably dry and itchy. She wanted to scratch it, but she knew she could not do that. The only thing she could do right now was to endure this and power through it.

Madeline was counting the days. She waited for the day when she could finally remove the gauze as she desperately wanted to know how badly injured she was.

She also had the urge to call Jeremy. However, when she remembered her condition right now, she got rid of that idea.

It was so difficult for her to even speak a full sentence. If Jeremy knew about her condition right now, how would he be able to take this?

Madeline thought about it and decided to send a message to Jeremy to at least tell him that the Madeline next to him right now was not the real her.

Then, she saw the maid who came in with her breakfast. Madeline wanted to borrow a phone from her.

Just then, the man who the maids called ‘sir’ walked in.

He still looked cold and elegant. He never had much of an expression on his face. When he saw that Madeline was able to get out of the bed to walk around, he said flatly, “You’re recovering pretty well.”

“Thank you for saving me, and please relay my thanks to your doctor and maids too. They’ve been taking really good care of me. Thank you.” Madeline thanked him sincerely but was not used to her current voice.

The man did not say anything. His eyes that were as cold as night glanced at Madeline. “What’s your name?”

“Eveline Montgomery.”

“Eveline Montgomery,” the man repeated like he was chewing on something. After a while, he said, “Didn’t you want to know the condition of your friend on the yacht? I can take you to see him now, but you’d better be prepared.”
