Chapter 1657
Jeremy’s heart felt like it tightened similarly after hearing Madeline’s answer.
Without any hesitation, he held Madeline in a bridal carry. He hailed a cab by the roadside and went to the nearest hospital.
Jeremy ran until he reached the emergency room door. Once the red light had lit up, he could not do anything but linger in the empty corridor, feeling restless.
He knew that Madeline did not have any heart issues, so how did it get so painful so suddenly?
‘Was it because we were running?’
‘I shouldn’t have dragged Linnie into running around like that.’
‘I shouldn’t.’
Jeremy started beating himself up harshly.
The door of the emergency room opened suddenly, and a young nurse walked out hurriedly.
Jeremy wanted to halt the nurse to ask about Madeline’s condition, but he was worried about interfering with her work.
Barely a moment after the nurse had walked away, two professional-looking middle-aged doctors, wearing serious expressions, came over and entered the emergency room.
This turn of events further rattled Jeremy’s state of mind.
‘Linnie, what’s happening to you?’
‘Why is your heart hurting suddenly?’
Jeremy was perplexed, his thoughts whirling. His eyes were glued to the red light by the emergency room door.
He did not know how much time had passed before the door opened once again, the doctor and nurse coming out simultaneously.
“Really, I’m not.” Madeline shook her head again. While touching her stomach, she emphasized, “I am a little hungry though.”
Jeremy smiled and his brows relaxed when he saw that Madeline did not seem to be lying. “I’ll buy you some breakfast then. I’ve heard St. Piaf has pretty good bagels. I’ll go buy some now.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Madeline smiled and nodded, enjoying how Jeremy was taking care of her.
Even though Jeremy had not rested for the entire night, when he saw that Madeline had recovered, he felt relieved. More energetic, even.
After Jeremy left the room, Madeline was about to get out of bed to walk around when she saw a doctor and a nurse walking in.
“Miss Montgomery, we have your checkup report.”
“Report?”
Madeline was unaware of what had happened after she had passed out earlier.
