Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1427

Chapter 1427

“Jeremy!”

Madeline could not find it in her to continue waiting by the door at those comments. She opened the glass door and ran into the bathroom.

What met her was the sight of Jeremy oozing with anger and iciness while Shirley had fallen next to the bathtub.

Madeline had no idea what happened. Her priority was knowing how Jeremy was doing, but out of politeness, she moved to help Shirley up first.

She had just reached out when she felt Jeremy grabbing her arm tightly. The man was strong and Madeline felt a twinge of pain at his firm grip.

“Don’t touch her.”

Jeremy spat out the four words out coldly, his tone exceptionally chilling.

“Jeremy?” Madeline looked at the man’s sharp gaze. “Are you okay, Jeremy? What happened? Is Shirley—”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman. I’m alright.” Shirley grabbed the side of the tub as she slowly sat up. She glanced at Jeremy’s cold gaze from the corner of her eyes before she turned to smile at Madeline.

“Jeremy doesn’t want you to touch me because I accidentally broke the needle, Mrs. Whitman. It would be bad if you get hurt due to my unprofessional slip-up.”

Madeline then saw the small broken needle that was sticking out of Shirley’s arm.

Shirley calmly pulled the needle out the next minute without even a crease in her brows.

“Jeremy’s doing much better already. He’ll be fine after a few more moments in the ice as the pain will subside.”

“Thank you, Shirley.” Madeline thanked her and turned back to Jeremy. Taking his slowly warming hand, her expression was still one of worry. “Are you feeling better, Jeremy?”

“Yeah. I’m feeling much better already, so don’t worry so much, okay?” Jeremy raised his hand to wrap them lightly around Madeline’s shoulders. “Come stay with me for a bit, Linnie.”

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.” Madeline leaned over and held Jeremy’s hand tighter.

Shirley’s eyes showed indignance at the scene but she had no choice but to leave resentfully.
