Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283

Madeline wondered if she was missing Jeremy so much that she was hallucinating him, but the silhouette before her grew clear in her eyes.

She reached out to touch the approaching man, but the mere act of raising her arm tugged the wound on her shoulder.

“Mmph.” She made a muffled sound at the pain.

Jeremy strode over to sit by the bed and pull her into his arms.

“Linnie.”

Feeling the solid warmth against her, the corners of Madeline’s eyes burned. She raised her haggard and small face, her expression filled with heartache.

“Does it still hurt? Did the poison torment you again? You still have six doses. Promise me you’ll remember to take them on time.” She reminded in all seriousness, her clear eyes filled with worry and care for the man.

Jeremy held Madeline’s hand. “Don’t worry about me, silly. I’m okay.”

“How am I supposed to not worry about you?” Madeline met the man’s passionate gaze with a concerned one of her own. With difficulty, she raised her hand to caress his face. “I don’t want anything to happen to you again, Jeremy. I don’t want us to be separated again.”

Jeremy cupped her face and leaned down to seal her lips with his before he softly promised, “I swear. We will never need to part again.”

He wrapped his arms around her to carry her. “I’ll bring you away now, Linnie.”

Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s chest, fully planning to leave with him until a thought flashed through her mind.

“Wait. Ryan still has my parents.”

“I just want to be with you, Linnie.”

“No, no. We can’t…” Madeline rejected. “Quick, leave first. You’re not safe here. If Ryan finds you, then—”

Bang!

Gun in hand, Ryan kicked the door down and entered, interrupting Madeline.

Anger engulfed the man as he raised the gun and aimed it at Jeremy’s heart without hesitation.
