Chapter 1126
Jeremy stuck one of his hands into his pocket and took one step closer to Ryan in a languid manner.
“I’ll get the lawyer to come over to talk to you tomorrow. You won’t have to take a single step,” he said. He had already arranged everything perfectly. “If you still manage to come up with an excuse to delay the procedure, it’ll prove that you have a different motive when you married Eveline back then,” he added.
Ryan looked at Jeremy calmly. “My real motive is to protect Eveline. Jeremy, you’re overthinking.”
“I thought too little about it. That’s why I ended up willingly handing my most beloved woman over to you like a fool,” Jeremy said, a hint of fierceness glinting in his eyes. He glanced at Ryan’s right leg that was wrapped in a plaster cast.
The tone of his voice was ironic as he spoke, “This traffic accident happened in a rather timely manner.” He then walked over to the side of the bed. He stared at Ryan’s injured leg with a gaze full of doubt. “I’d like to see the injures on your leg,” he added.
Noticing that Jeremy had reached his hand over, Ryan furrowed his brows. “Jeremy Whitman, don’t do anything rashly,” he warned him.
“What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being exposed by me?” Jeremy asked, his eyes blazing harshly. Suddenly, he pressed his palm onto Ryan’s leg.
Ryan frowned at once. He looked like he was withstanding the pain from the look on his face.
However, Jeremy did not spare him at all. He pressed into his leg forcefully.
Madeline had returned because she could not find her car keys. Upon entering the ward, she was faced with the sight of the two men.
The look of cool nonchalance on Jeremy’s face formed a stark contrast with Ryan, who looked like he was trying his best to hold back the pain.
“Jeremy, what are you doing?!” Madeline rushed into the ward. She ran to Jeremy’s side and pulled him away.
Noticing the dense beads of cold sweat on Ryan’s forehead, Madeline could only imagine how out of line Jeremy’s actions were just now.
“Ryan, are you alright?” she asked as she walked toward him.
Jeremy reached over and grabbed her arm forcefully. He pulled her into an embrace.
“You should be worried about me, not him.” Jeremy pointed out, his amber eyes full of a strong, dominant possessiveness.
“Do you know what you were doing just now? Jeremy, have you gone crazy?” Madeline escaped from his hold on her and walked toward Ryan. “Ryan, I’ll get the doctor for you,” she said.
