Chapter 1423
Madeline ran out of the bathroom and saw Jeremy lying on the floor next to the bed.
“Jeremy!”
She frantically ran over and knelt by the man. The man’s sharp brows were knitted as if he was enduring severe agony. Madeline’s heart raced in panic.
“What happened, Jeremy? Is the poison acting up again?”
Madeline pulled Jeremy by his shoulders so that he could lean against her chest.
She wanted to carry him to the bed if she could but she was not strong enough.
“What happened? Adam himself said that the lapse between each attack would become longer and longer. Why is this happening now?”
Madeline was anxious as her tears began to fall without restraint, falling onto Jeremy’s face.
“Don’t worry, Linnie,” Jeremy spoke through the pain and reached out to caress Madeline’s cheek. “I’m already used to the pain. It won’t be for very long. I’ll be fine soon.”
He comforted her as his seductive lips were pulled into a small smile to placate her worry.
However, the more he was considerate of her emotions, the more Madeline’s heart ached.
“Adam. I’ll call Adam. He’ll know what to do!” Madeline scrambled for her phone and immediately dialed for the man.
However, the phone rang but no one answered the call.
Madeline waited nervously for Adam to pick up the phone and just as it was about to finish ringing, the call was connected.
