Chapter 1190
“Jeremy, I won’t let anything happen to you,” she promised softly.
When Jeremy heard these words, his heart seemed to skip a beat.
‘What did she just say?
‘She won’t let anything happen to me?
‘What does that mean?’
Jeremy was confused, but he could only continue to pretend to sleep.
Madeline turned around and went back to her bed to lie down after turning off the lights.
Through the moonlight that illuminated the dark night, Jeremy looked at Madeline who was sleeping with her eyes closed. He was finding it difficult to fall back asleep.
…
After Karen learned that Madeline was injured and needed to be hospitalized, she made a nourishing chowder for her the next day and also handed Jeremy an invitation card.
“Jeremy, this is an invitation for Sir Calver’s 80th birthday banquet. It’s the night after tomorrow. You should bring Eveline.” Karen reminded him while scooping a bowl of chowder for Madeline. She handed it over to her and reminded. “It’s really hot, be careful.”
Madeline nodded absent-mindedly. Her mind was focused on what Karen just said.
Coincidentally, Ryan had already asked her to attend the banquet with him as Mrs. Jones.
Although the third dose of anti-toxoid test reagent had been injected, Madeline still needed to follow Ryan’s orders to fully cure Jeremy.
She did not want to risk Jeremy’s life.
“Jeremy, I’m still feeling unwell and Lillian hasn’t recovered yet. It’ll be better if we don’t go.” Madeline suggested, although it was for selfish reasons.
Jeremy always listened to Madeline, so he immediately agreed. He pushed the invitation letter aside. “Nothing is more important than my wife. I’ll always be with you, Linnie.”
