Chapter 1186
Madeline’s mind was somewhere else as well, so she changed the subject. “I’m a little hungry, Jeremy. Could you buy me something to eat?”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I’ll eat anything my husband buys for me.” Madeline’s eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled.
Placing a kiss at the corner of her lips, Jeremy turned around to help Madeline sit properly on the bed before he left.
Just as Jeremy left, Madeline pushed her exhausted and weak body up to reach for her bag by the side.
Her memory seemed to have returned. Her left leg did indeed seem to have touched something when she was in the river. Now that she thought about it, it must have been a rock that gave her the gash.
Madeline thought to herself as she opened her bag.
However, after a round of rifling, all she found were her keys, wallet, and lipstick. The most important anti-toxoid test reagent bottle was gone!
Madeline’s heart raced frantically. She searched again but came up empty-handed.
“How could it be gone?” She was confused. Thinking about the moment she jumped into the river until she got back up on shore and drove back to the manor, she remembered checking her bag and the bottle of anti-toxoid test reagent was still there. Where was it now?
She needed to inject Jeremy with the anti-toxoid test reagent today. She could not lose the anti-toxoid test reagent now!
Madeline threw the covers off and got off the bed, ignoring the pain.
Anxious, she searched the entire room but it was to no avail.
“Did Jeremy take it?” Madeline could only think of such a possibility.
Panicking, she reached for the phone by her pillow and was about to call Jeremy when the hospital room door opened.
“Were you looking for this, Eveline Montgomery?” A woman’s voice sounded by the door.
