Chapter 1990
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline nodded. From the corner of her eyes, she looked at the baffled Hannah before following Jeremy to the door.
âMr. Whitman!â Hannah yelled at Jeremyâs back.
âMr. Whitman! I came all the way from St. Piaf for you. Please donât ignore me so heartlessly! Mr.
Whitman!â
Hannahâs ear-piercing voice came over repeatedly.
Jeremy turned a deaf ear. He only wanted to take Madeline to tend to her wounds as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, the reporters who had been chased away came back out of nowhere.
They swarmed forward to interview Jeremy. They wanted to know more about his relationship with Hannah, but before they could get close, they were frightened back by Jeremyâs austere eyes.
In Glendale, Jeremy was someone they dared not offend.
Jeremy quickly brought Madeline to the outpatient services where a doctor quickly tended to the wounds on their hands.
The sight of the gauze on their hands broke Madelineâs heart, but at the same time, she did not know if she should laugh or cry.
âI wanted to take care of this myself, yet I still implicated you in this.â Madeline sighed softly, gently caressing Jeremyâs hand. âDoes it hurt?â
âDonât say nonsense like that. Weâre husband and wife. Even if weâre talking about implications, Iâm the one who has implicated you.â
Jeremy held Madelineâs hand to his lips and kissed it.
âLinnie, I was the cause of this, so let me take care of it.â
Madeline knew that Jeremy was scared that she would get hurt again because of this, but if she allowed Jeremy to get in contact with Hannah, Madeline felt that this would become even more serious.
However, she saw determination in Jeremyâs eyes.
âLinnie, you should go home. Iâll go find her now and explain this to her.â
âJeremy.â Madeline grabbed him and her expression was solemn. âSheâs very emotional now, and there are so many reporters that this matter might escalate into something worse. If you really want to talk to her, you should do it at a later time.â
Jeremy understood what Madeline meant, but he wanted to tell Hannah his stance right now.
âLinnie, listen to me. Go back now and leave the rest to me, okay?â
After the manâs gentle words had fallen away, he turned around and left.
Madeline could guess what Jeremy was going to do. As such, she quickly followed him and grabbed his hand.
âI want to be with you no matter what weâre facing, Jeremy.â
As Madeline said with emphasis, she lifted her beautiful and alluring eyes, looking straight into Jeremyâs eyes.
Jeremy understood and smiled as he held Madelineâs hand tightly.
The reporters waiting by the hospital room entrance were just saying that they wanted to convince Hannah to give them some information when, incidentally, they saw Jeremy turning back. This time, they did not dare to go and talk to Hannah without thinking about the consequences.
However, when Hannah saw Jeremy, her expression changed immediately.
She pushed the reporters blocking her away and rushed up to Jeremy.
âMr. Whitman! Youâre finally willing to come to see me!â As expected, Hannah was still emotional.
However, when she saw Madeline who was holding hands with Jeremy, her expression changed again.
âMr. Whitman, since youâre here, and there are many reporters here, we should make everything clear right here!â Hannah said resolutely.
The reporters around them saw this and started filming.
Jeremy narrowed his cold eyes. His icy eyes, as deep as the ocean, shot out a ray of frigid light.
âBefore we solve this matter, I need you to solve another matter! â
