Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624

Putting her phone down, she turned to open the door.

Meeting her eyes was Felipe’s lithe figure in front of her.

Donned in a loose-fitting white sleeping robe, the man’s alluring clavicles could vaguely be seen through the thin material.

Madeline felt inexplicably uncomfortable to see Felipe in such a sight even though she had not felt the slightest discomfort when she took off Jeremy’s shirt previously. The upper half of his body was even revealed when she dressed his wounds.

“Did you come to say goodnight, Felipe?” She smiled, reining back her wandering thoughts.

Felipe smiled lightly and walked in.

Madeline was left with no choice but to let go of the door handle, which Felipe took and used to close the door behind him as he entered.

The sound of the door closing fueled Madeline’s unease.

“Is there something you want to talk to me about, Felipe?” Madeline gave a small smile, standing by the door.

Felipe turned around. Reading the guarded look in Madeline’s glossy eyes, his lips quirked as he walked toward her and grabbed her hand.

“Vera, or perhaps I should call you Eveline, considering that’s your birth name.” Felipe’s tone was gentle as it drifted to her ears like the soft evening summer breeze, while a slender finger reached out to tug wisps of her hair behind her ear.

“I swore to myself the moment you almost died on the operating table because of Jeremy and Meredith that I would never let anything harm you again.”

The walls in Madeline’s eyes slowly gave away, leaving gratefulness in their wake.

“Thank you, Felipe. You saved me once back then, and you saved me again when I fell into the sea. I would’ve died had it not been for you.”

“I won’t let anything happen to you.” Felipe’s gaze was deep. “I promised myself ever since we met by the seaside on April Hill, and I promised you as well that I’d protect you forever.”

Madeline lifted her sparkling eyes at his words to take in every detail on the man’s face.

The familiar sharp bows and starlit eyes bore warmth, yet her mind seemed to supply her with Jeremy’s appearance instead.
