Chapter 1627

Madeline immediately turned on the lights, and at a glance, she saw blood seeping from Jeremy’s left ankle glaringly.

He was hurt.

It seemed that the injury was serious.

Jeremy looked down at the bleeding wound on his ankle. Despite the discomfort, he endured the pain to return to Madeline.

“Linnie, I can’t just watch you wed another man. I must take you out of here now.”

Madeline’s gaze stayed for a moment at Jeremy’s injured ankle, then she raised her tough and unyielding eyes.

“I won’t leave.” She was still so determined. “Jeremy, for the sake of our previous relationship as husband and wife, I’ll give you a chance to leave now. You’d better not throw yourself into this trap, do you understand?”

She stared at Jeremy’s increasingly lonely and hurt deep eyes. “Get out of here now.”

Jeremy stared into Madeline’s firm eyes. Suddenly, he tugged the corners of his lips into a smile.

“Okay, I’ll leave right away.”

“There seem to be some strange movements in the room.” Suddenly, a maid’s voice came from outside the door.

“I wasn’t mistaken just now, someone really did sneak in!”

“How dare this bold thief come and steal things from Gray Manor?!”

Two or three sets of footsteps outside the door got closer and closer, accompanied by the voices.

After a while, the door of the room suddenly opened.

Madeline, who was standing by the bed, raised her eyes in shock.

When the two maids saw Madeline awake, they were startled and hurriedly apologized.

“Sorry Miss Montgomery, we heard sounds in the room and you were unconscious earlier, so we thought someone had sneaked into your room.”

The maid said and looked around in the room.

“Sorry, Miss Montgomery, I’m sorry to have bothered you. It’s great that you’re awake. Mr. Carter was worried about you all night.”

Madeline nodded slightly. “Thank you for your concern, I just woke up.”

“ I’ll tell Mr. Carter that you’re awake now.”

“No.” Madeline hurriedly stopped her. “It’s late, we’ll talk about this tomorrow.”

The maid also felt that it made sense. As such, she apologized again, closed the door, and left.

Madeline walked to the door before locking it. Then, she turned off the lights in the room and turned to the balcony.

However, after two steps, she remembered something. After she fumbled for a while in the dark room, she came to the balcony.

Although the moonlight tonight was not as bright, it was enough for Jeremy to see clearly what Madeline had brought over.

It was a small first aid kit.

Madeline squatted down and put the first aid kit down. She quickly took out the cotton pad soaked with alcohol and the gauze used for bandaging.

Jeremy did not speak. He just watched Madeline treat his wound in silence.

However, he vaguely saw that when Madeline was looking at his injury, her eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

He had jumped off from the balcony smoothly this afternoon, but something sharp had accidentally cut into his left ankle.

It only hurt a while at the time. After he got home though, he found that the wound was a bit deep.

In addition to that, he twisted his ankle just now when he was aggressively thrown to the side by Madeline. That was why blood oozed out from his carelessly bandaged wound.

When the cotton pad with alcohol touched his wound, a sharp pain spread instantly.

Jeremy frowned. He also spotted Madeline frowning with him.
