Chapter 1425
Madeline was stunned for a moment as she glanced at the bathroom where the glass door was tightly shut.
“It’ll be over soon, Jeremy. Just hold on a little longer.
“You can unleash the pain just like you used to before.
“I’m your doctor but I’m also your friend. I can help you, ah…”
Madeline heard Shirley’s voice sound non-stop from the bathroom until her last amorous whisper. Then, the bathroom turned silent.
The staff glanced at the bathroom weirdly before turning to Madeline to speak.
“I’ve already brought all the ice to the bathroom, Mrs. Whitman. I’ll be leaving then if there isn’t anything else you need.”
Madeline snapped back to reality. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The staff gave a small smile and left.
Madeline dragged Shirley’s luggage over to the bathroom and reached out to open the door only to realize that the glass door was locked from the inside.
“I brought your luggage over, Shirley. How’s Jeremy doing?” Madeline asked while facing the bathroom door but received no reply.
“Shirley? Shirley? Jeremy! Jeremy!” Madeline was growing frantic. She could not bear radio silence at such a time.
Knock, knock, knock. Madeline raised her hand to knock on the glass door repetitively, her knuckles starting to grow red before she knew it.
“Jeremy!” Madeline was getting distraught and could no longer keep calm.
She was about to knock down the bathroom door when it finally opened.
Shirley was drenched and her clothes looked disheveled when she appeared in Madeline’s line of sight.
Madeline was taken aback, but her heart was more interested in how Jeremy was doing. “Where’s Jeremy, Shirley? How is he?”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman. I won’t let anything happen to Jeremy.” Shirley smiled softly. “I need to get something from my luggage. You can go in and take a look at him. I’m sure he’ll feel much better with you by his side.”
