Chapter 1122
Madeline endured the pain on her wrist and said calmly, “What’s wrong, Jeremy? I’m Linnie.”
Linnie.
That name flew right into Jeremy’s ears and into his heart.
The malice in his eyes disappeared as his dark eyes immediately turned bright.
It was as if he just noticed himself holding Madeline with such a tight grip. He quickly let go and caressed her wrist. “Did I hurt you?”
Madeline shook her head. “No. But Jeremy, why did you react like that just now? What happened to you when you disappeared?”
Jeremy remained quiet, his brows knitted together tightly.
However, he did not say anything. Instead, he only stepped down on the accelerator and continued driving.
‘What happened to me when I disappeared?’ he asked himself silently.
In order to stay alive and come back to her, he had to suffer such severe consequences.
It was still early when they went back to Whitman Manor. Lillian and Jackson were sitting on the rug near the coffee table while playing with a puzzle.
When Madeline saw the smile on Lillian’s face, she felt relieved.
However, she was worried that Jeremy might ignore Lillian again and hurt her fragile heart. As such, she grabbed Jeremy’s hand to hint at him.
“Hold Lily. Don’t make her sad.”
After Madeline said that, Lillian looked over at them.
