Chapter 1479

Madeline was stunned for a few seconds before lowering her head in terror to avoid looking into Jeremy’s eyes. Then, she removed her hands in a panic.

Jeremy was also slightly absent-minded. Even though their eyes were meeting in the dark, he could still see the bright starlight in her eyes.

That glint in her eyes moved him so much.

However, her face…

Jeremy came back to his senses as if he had just been abruptly awoken.

At that instant, he felt as if he had vaguely seen something special.

Clank!

Suddenly, Jeremy heard the sound of crashing downstairs. Then, he heard a muffled grunt of pain.

He immediately turned around, and even though he was in the dark, he still had a good sense of direction.

Jeremy went downstairs, and using the moonlight outside the window, he saw a frail figure walking out the door.

Jeremy lifted his eyebrow in curiosity after he saw the figure flashing across him.

“Linnie?”

‘It’s so late. What’s Linnie doing out there?’

Jeremy pondered. When he was about to go downstairs, he heard a woman’s voice calling him from the bedroom.

“Jeremy, where are you going? When’s the light coming back on?”

Jeremy stopped in his tracks when he heard that.

‘So, the figure that ran outside isn’t Linnie? However, why did it look so similar to her?’

He pondered and answered without thinking, “I’m going to check the main power switch now. Go back to the room. Be careful, don’t hurt yourself.”

Jeremy said and quickly strode his long legs over to the door with a purpose.

Madeline knew there was a glasshouse in Whitman Manor. At this moment, she just wanted to stay there to calm down.

She did not know why the power went out all of a sudden. She also did not know why Jeremy appeared all of a sudden.

‘Did he see?

‘Did he see my face just now?’

Madeline lifted her hand to touch the scars on her face lightly.

When she touched the bumpy places, she felt as if cold water had been poured into her heart. Her entire body went cold instantly.

She lifted her head and looked at the bright moonlight through the glasshouse to try to chase away the darkness in her heart.

‘Eveline Montgomery, you can’t be negative.

‘As long as you’re alive, you still have hope.’

She encouraged herself silently and took a deep breath to recompose herself.

When she was considering staying a little longer here, Madeline heard familiar footsteps approaching her from behind.

Madeline could tell that it was Jeremy’s footsteps.

“Did I scare you just now?”

Jeremy’s voice sounded gentle from behind.

Madeline clenched her fingers nervously and did not dare to turn her head. “No, you didn’t scare me, Mr. Whitman.”

She said and turned around slowly with her head lowered. She wanted to try her best not to look into Jeremy’s eyes.

“It’s late, Mr. Whitman. I’m going back to my room.”

Madeline lowered her head and wanted to leave in a hurry.

However, as it happened, Jeremy’s tall and slender figure was standing at the door of the glasshouse.

Madeline wanted to pass through but had no choice and could only walk around him.
