Chapter 1213
Madeline raised her teary eyes and looked ahead where Jeremy was staring at.
Under the sunlight, the sound of ocean waves came traveling into her ears. She could sniff out the saltiness of the ocean, which was the scent of summer.
It was April Hill—the place where they first met and became a pair.
“Linnie, I hope in my next life, I’ll still be able to hold your hand and chase you around on this beach. At that time, I’ll always keep your looks in my mind and will never mistake you for someone else. I’ll never let you endure those unnecessary humiliations again.”
Madeline burst into tears and buried her face in the crook of Jeremy’s neck when she heard the man’s anticipating and apologetic comments. “Jeremy, I don’t wish for your next life. I only want you in this life.”
As she was talking, she suddenly put on a serious look. “Jeremy, I’ll never let anything happen to you!”
The moment Jeremy heard her comment, it made him recall the night at the hospital when Madeline once said something similar.
In the meantime, the pain in his heart was unbearable. His breath had weakened as well, and he could only lean against her to relax.
However, in the next second, Jeremy noticed Madeline taking out a similar bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent from her purse which she always carried with her. Then, she took out a disposable syringe and needle.
Madeline drew the anti-toxoid test reagent into the syringe and grabbed Jeremy’s arm while looking for his pulse. Then, she injected the liquid into him without a trace of doubt.
Once again, Jeremy felt the icy cold liquid spreading throughout his body. What followed was a piercing sensation that left him in indescribable pain.
He tried to hold out when he slowly felt that his heart was no longer in unbearable pain. His breathing became much smoother as well.
Madeline saw the expression on Jeremy’s face that seemed to show that he was feeling better and placed the needle aside. She hugged him tightly. “Jeremy, don’t worry. I’ll never let you leave me just like that. I want you to accompany me and our kids for even more years to come.”
“What’s this, Linnie?” Jeremy gradually sat up. He finally had the strength to touch Madeline’s tear-stained face.
