Chapter 1787
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
After receiving the call, Fabian turned the steering wheel around without hesitation and drove at full throttle back to the hospital.
Evan had placed Madeline in the best VIP ward, but a t that moment, he was standing at the entrance of the ward, not daring to step in and disturb Madeline.
Upon seeing Fabian rushing from the other end of the corridor, Evan pointed at the ward with a worried look. âYouâd better go in and have a look for yourself. She seems really weird.â
After hearing what Evan had to say, Fabian then looked through the small transparent window on the door and saw Madeline in the ward.
She was hugging both her legs, curled up at a corner, and her expression looked terrified.
Fabian frowned, then opened the door of the ward to enter.
Madeline, who heard the sound, abruptly lifted her eyes to look at him.
The sunlight shone through the window, falling onto Madelineâs back, giving a faint layer of halo on the side of her face.
Her pale and lifeless face displayed a messy yet prestigious type of beauty, yet it made her look so helpless and pitiful.
Upon seeing Fabian making his way toward, Madelineâs eyes suddenly glinted with mixed feelings.
The anticipation and anxiety interweaved in her gaze made Fabian feel troubled.
âWhatâs wrong with you, Eveline? Do you have some sort of disease?â Fabian approached the bedside and asked bluntly.
After he asked, Madelineâs eyes became red, to his surprise.
Fabian was stunned. He also could not believe that Madeline would immediately rush toward him and grasp his sleeve.
âHelp me tell Jeremy that I really didnât do anything to harm Jackson. I saw it with my eyes that it was Meredith who took the fruit knife and slashed Jacksonâs face. It really wasnât me who did it. Jeremy⦠Why wonât he believe me?â
Fabian was confused at this, realizing that he did not know much about what had occurred between Madeline and Jeremy.
However, he had heard about Meredith.
She was a very cruel lady, and it was because of this lady, Madeline had experienced an extraordinarily dark and painful period. A time she did not wish to recall.
âHiss.â
Madeline suddenly yelled in pain.
She lifted her hands to hold her head. She painfully struggled as tears fell.
âWhy wonât he believe me? Even if itâs just once, just once would doâ¦
âI want to see Jeremy. I want to see himâ¦â
Madeline laid down and muttered, tears streaming out of the corners of her eyes, wetting the bed sheet.
Fabian could not help but feel troubled. Additionally, seeing Madelineâs current condition, not only was she spouting nonsense that he could not understand, her physical condition was still a mess.
When she had pulled him earlier, he could feel that Madelineâs hands were cold, and her breathing seemed to still be erratic.
Fabian could not comprehend it. How did Madeline end up in this state?
A moment ago, she had still been sharp and tough, determined in requesting Fabian to hand Lilian over to her, then the next instant, it was as if she had suddenly become another person.
âFab, step out for a moment.â
When he heard Evanâs voice from behind, Fabian then snapped out of it.
However, he did not turn around; his eyes remained fixed upon Madeline.
Seeing that Fabian was not responding, Evan reminded him again.
âFab, come out for now.â
âGiven her current state, wouldnât something happen if no one is keeping an eye on her?â Fabian asked, feeling uneasy.
âWeâll just be outside. Nothing will happen to her. As of now, we have no idea whatâs wrong with her.
We canât even prescribe her any medication, â Evan said helplessly and tapped Fabianâs shoulder, then turned around.
