Chapter 1954
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âSo this is love at first sight.â
The maid thought gleefully in her heart and immediately spoke.
âMiss Montgomery, donât worry. Until Mr. Whitman has fully recovered, I will do my best to take care of him in the meantime! â
The maid was confident. When she said this, she did not forget to glance at Jeremy a few times shyly.
Jeremy caught sight of the maidâs gaze and knew that the maid was very fond of him, but he did not want Madeline to misunderstand, even if she was not herself now.
âMiss, youâre too kind. Actually, my injury doesnât matter. I donât need you to take care of me this diligently. Iâm already an adult, and I can take care of myself. You donât have to worry about me.â
When the maid heard this, the blush and shyness on her face gradually faded away.
She looked at Jeremy with disbelief. âMr. Whitman, youâre sayingâ¦â
âThere is no other meaning. I just want to rest here by myself. I think I will heal faster this way.â
ââ¦â The last glimmer of expectation in the maidâs eyes was shattered. âMr. Whitman, why do you say that? You just said youâll bring the most important woman to you back home after youâre healed.â
â I did,â Jeremy replied calmly. âBut this woman will never be you. Iâve known you for less than a day, so what important connection do you think you have with me? I hope you wonât overthink.â
As Jeremy said that, his gaze naturally shifted to Madelineâs face.
He did not say anything. A smile spread from the corners of his lips.
After listening to Jeremyâs words, the maid, disappointed, pressed her lips into a thin line, and she also felt a burning embarrassment on her face.
However, as a woman, she also has a keen sixth sense. She noticed that Jeremy was looking deeply at Madeline when he was speaking.
âWas Mr. Whitman talking about Miss Montgomery? âIf so, itâd be too ridiculous! â
The maid thought in her heart. When she saw that Madeline seemed to be watching Jeremy right now, she spoke a little sullenly.
âMiss Montgomery, you will be marrying Mr. Carter tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early so that you can attend tomorrowâs wedding in your best condition. I will take care of Mr. Whitman over here. Donât worry.â
âIâm relieved to have you take care of Mr. Whitman, â Madeline answered. âDr. Lane, Iâll entrust Mr.
Whitmanâs injuries to you.â
Dr. Lane smiled and nodded, telling Madeline to rest assured.
Madeline did not stay long. She then turned around and left.
âMiss Montgomery, â Jeremy suddenly called out to Madeline.
Madeline stopped and turned to look at Jeremy.
Jeremy stared at her. A look of love and affection quietly flowed out of his deep almond eyes.
â I sincerely wish you a happy life with your loved one, Miss Montgomery.â
âThank you, â Madeline smiled and thanked him. âI also wish you can find your wife soon and bring her home.â
âOf course, I will definitely bring her home, â
Jeremy looked at Madeline and promised.
The maid on the side saw everything. She kept feeling that Madeline and Jeremy were flirting with each other, but she did not have the guts to say it out loud. Vexed, her mouth twitched.
When she saw Madeline walking out, the maid followed closely.
âMiss Montgomery, â The maid called out to Madeline.
Puzzled, Madeline stopped. âIs something wrong?â
The maid looked at Madelineâs beautiful small face and asked somewhat unhappily, âMiss Montgomery, can I ask you a question?â
