Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1659

Chapter 1659

Jeremy picked up all the torn papers, but he noticed that the damage was extensive, requiring more time to piece the fragments together.

He could only resort to wrapping the pieces in a handkerchief. Then, he returned to Madeline’s side, pretending nothing had happened after he went to the restroom.

“Jeremy, are you okay? Did you catch a cold?” Madeline asked, uneasy, as she grabbed Jeremy’s hand.

Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.

“I still intend to take good care of you for the rest of your life, so how can I let anything happen?” He smiled softly, but he somehow began feeling that the torn papers in his pocket weighed heavily on his mind.

After returning to the hotel, while Madeline bathed, Jeremy sat on the sofa and took the opportunity to quickly sort the pieces of paper.

Fortunately, the paper fragments were not too small, so Jeremy still managed to sort it out, messiness aside.

With his quick reading speed, he finished the entire checkup report in a blink of an eye.

There was certainly nothing wrong based on the content of the paper, but Jeremy also noticed Madeline’s blood test report.

There was a deviation in one of the indices listed, and this index, in particular, quickly reminded him of his physical examination back then…

After her bath, Madeline came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair with a towel as she walked toward the bedroom. She lifted her eyes and saw a dazed-looking Jeremy sitting on the sofa, pieces of papers patched together on the coffee table in front of him.

Seeing those pieces of paper, a conjecture quickly formed in Madeline’s mind.

She hurriedly walked over and, as expected, saw that it was the report that she had ripped and threw away.

Madeline slowly stopped wiping her hair and lowered her hand as she walked to Jeremy’s side. Seeing him remain silent and beside himself, her hands reached out to touch his, but she noticed the coldness permeating the palms of his hands.

“Jeremy,” Madeline gently called out Jeremy’s name, “I know what you’re thinking. This is exactly the reason I didn’t want to tell you for the time being.”

The surrounding mood grew more silent after Madeline had spoken.
