Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1949

‘Linnie.’

Jeremy called Madeline’s name in his heart, for he feared that it would make the current Madeline feel uncomfortable if he said it out loud.

After recomposing himself, Jeremy smiled softly and said, “Miss Montgomery, we meet again.”

Madeline met Jeremy’s gaze and glanced at his injured calf again.

“Mr. Whitman, you’re injured, so why aren’t you resting in your room?’

Jeremy’s heart felt warm. “Are you concerned for me, Miss Montgomery?”

After he said that, Madeline’s expression seemed to grow a little serious. “Mr. Whitman, you seem to like cracking jokes, but I don’t think it’s funny at all. You’re an injured patient, yet you’re walking around instead of following the doctor’s instructions to recuperate. It’s very hard to like you this way.

Madeline’s attitude was very cold, and there was even a hint of fierceness. She then continued.

“Mr. Whitman, you behave as if you care very much about your who-knows-where wife, but have you ever wondered how your wife would feel if she knew that you were walking around injured?”

Hearing this, the smile on Jeremy’s face gradually dissipated.

He stared at Madeline’s sharp and solemn gaze, and then he also became serious.

“My wife would be heartbroken if she knew I was injured.”

“That’s right, then you should go back to the room and continue to lie down. Don’t let people who care about you worry about you.”

Madeline turned to the side as she said that. She then helped Jeremy open the door.

“I can send you back to the room.”

Madeline did not seem to give Jeremy a chance to refuse at all.

Jeremy looked at Madeline’s stern and solemn expression and he dared not resist at that moment.

He could only obediently turn around and return to the room.
