Chapter 1550

‘However, it’s right to save people, right?’

Cathy seemed to have found a reasonable reason for herself, so she wanted to turn around and leave.

However, as soon as she got up, her eyes suddenly paused on Felipe’s right wrist.

She stretched out her hand uncontrollably and slowly held Felipe’s arm. She looked at the red rope around his wrist and suddenly, a wave surged beneath her clear pupils and she saw a handsome young man accompanied by the rustling sea breeze.

“Amy.”

Adam’s voice suddenly rang behind her ears, and Cathy abruptly withdrew her wandering thoughts.

Adam saw Felipe sleeping on the recliner at a glance. When he saw the blood trail across the floor, he walked to Cathy in astonishment.

“What’s going on? How did he get so badly injured?”

“I don’t know what happened. It seemed that a few men were chasing him and he happened to collapse in front of our house, so I dragged him in,” Cathy explained. Seeing the frown on Adam’s face, she apologized in a soft voice. “Adam, did I do something wrong?”

Adam understood that Cathy thought he was blaming her, so he raised his hand and gently held Cathy’s shoulder.

“You did a good thing. No matter who it is, we can’t just let them die like this.”

Hearing Adam’s answer, Cathy pursed her lips and smiled. The burden in her heart seemed to disappear all at once.

“Go and watch the children. I’ll check and see if he has any other problems.”

“Oh, okay.” Cathy nodded. She felt more at ease this way.

Adam was a very professional and excellent doctor, and the patients who were treated by him could be considered lucky.

After Cathy left, the gentle smile on Adam’s face gradually disappeared. He put on a white coat and a pair of rubber gloves.

When he walked to the reclining chair and looked at the frowning man, Adam’s expression became solemn.

“Cathy.”

Felipe muttered in his dream.

Adam furrowed his brows even more. “What’s the point of regretting only after you’ve lost her? What’s the point of wanting to cherish her after losing her?”

He asked Felipe softly, but of course, he knew that Felipe would not hear him.

In the next second, there was a never-before-seen sharp glint in Adam’s eyes.

“Felipe, I won’t let Cathy go back to you and I won’t let you have another chance to hurt Cathy again.”

…

Madeline called a cab on the side of the road and went straight back to Whitman Manor. On the way there, she was only worried about Jeremy.

Jeremy had not shown up after she waited for him at the airport last night. She did not know if he was in any trouble, but she was thankful that he had not shown up. If he had, she did not know what Carter would have done to Jeremy.

When Madeline arrived at the manor, the rain became heavier.

The torrential rain in late autumn and early winter was accompanied by the cold wind. It was extremely chilling.

After getting out of the car, she hurriedly ran past the iron gates under the rain. However, after just a few steps, an umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.

Madeline paused and raised her head abruptly.

Her bright and beautiful eyes which looked like stars met a pair of gentle almond eyes that were bottomless like the ocean.

‘Jeremy!’

Madeline shouted Jeremy’s name in her heart. While looking at the man who was still graceful and unrestrained, the worries and longing in her heart slowly disappeared.

“Mr. Whitman, thank you.” Madeline smiled and thanked him. She had the urge to take off her mask because her face was almost recovered by now, but her voice was still very unpleasant.

Jeremy lifted the corner of his lips and stared into Madeline’s eyes. Only then did he part his lips and say gently, “Miss Quinn, I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask you this whole time we’ve been acquainted.”

Madeline widened her eyes in confusion. “What do you want to ask me, Mr. Whitman?”
