Chapter 1403
“I’m right here, Linnie.” Jeremy sat down on the bed and wrapped his arms around Madeline’s shoulder to comfort her. “Everything’s alright now, Linnie. It’s okay, calm down.”
Madeline’s nervous heartbeat gradually settled when she felt the man’s familiar warmth engulf her.
Thinking back to what happened before she fell unconscious, she clenched her fingers through the aftershock as her beautiful pupils shone with unease.
“The bookshelf fell and Mom got crushed under it to save me.” Madeline threw off the covers and got off the bed.
Jeremy rushed forward to hold Madeline. “Where are you going, Linnie? You haven’t fully recovered yet.”
“I know Mom is in the hospital as well! Bring me there, Jeremy. I need to know how Mom is doing.” Her expression was frantic as her eyes became swirled with panic and fear.
Jeremy’s sharp brows were knitted together. “Mom’s alright, Linnie. Be good and rest, okay?”
“I’ll rest, I promise, but I need to know how Mom is doing first.” Madeline was persistent as she took Jeremy’s hand with a stern expression. “Just bring me there, Jeremy.”
Even so, Jeremy hesitated as if taking the step was a difficult feat to accomplish.
Madeline had a foreboding thought that something was wrong. Her expression shifted as she let go of his hand. “Mom is in bad condition, isn’t she?”
“Nonsense. She’s fine, Linnie. You’re overthinking it.” Jeremy comforted, trying to pull Madeline back before she broke down.
Madeline regulated her emotions and nodded calmly. “I won’t overthink it. I’ll just ask the doctor, then!”
Madeline moved quickly and immediately ran to the nurse’s station to ask if there was an Eloise Patton who was also hospitalized here.
The nurse did a quick search and affirmed it. “We do have a lady by the name Eloise Patton who was just admitted to the hospital. She’s in the VIP ward in front.”
Hearing this, Madeline felt her heartstrings tighten suddenly. “Can you tell me how my mother is doing?”
Understanding that Madeline was the patient’s daughter, the nurse told her everything she knew.
