Chapter 1707
When Madeline heard the nurse asking her this, she abruptly came back to her senses.
She strode over to the nurse and grabbed the nurse’s hand. “Nurse, where is my daughter? Why is my daughter missing?”
“Missing?” The nurse blinked in confusion. “Lillian is sleeping in the next ward. How is she missing?”
“Next ward?”
Madeline immediately understood and noticed that this was not Lillian’s ward after all.
She ran out of the ward and into the next ward.
When she saw Lillian sleeping soundly in bed, Madeline’s racing heart started to calm down.
“Linnie.” Jeremy got behind Madeline and lifted his hand to caress her short hair.
Linnie turned around abruptly and hugged Jeremy. She could not hold in the tears that were welled up in her eyes.
Jeremy held Madeline while feeling sorry for her. He comforted her, saying, “I’ll always stay with you. Just cry if you want to. Don’t force yourself.”
Madeline bit her lip and nestled tightly against Jeremy’s chest as she let all her tears out.
However, she did not dare to cry too loud. She was worried that she would wake her little princess who was sleeping.
She was terrified. She was scared that something had happened to Lillian earlier, so that was why that situation happened just now. She did not realize she had walked into the wrong ward.
Madeline stayed in Jeremy’s arms for a very long time before finally recomposing herself.
When they saw that their child was still sleeping soundly, Madeline and Jeremy walked to the chairs outside the ward to sit down.
“I don’t think he will.” Jeremy gave her a firm answer. He grabbed Madeline’s hand and looked at her gorgeous eyes that were filled with worry. “Linnie, trust me and trust Fabian too. Trust that he won’t hurt Lily.”
Madeline nodded and leaned her head against Jeremy’s shoulder.
However, when she was about to close her eyes to rest for a while, her heart started racing all of a sudden.
Jeremy could see that something was not right with Madeline. “Linnie, what’s going on? Where does it hurt?”
Madeline sat up and tried her best to keep herself calm, but she could not stop her heart that was racing again. “Jeremy, I think it’s starting again. The poison is flaring up…”
Madeline lifted her hand to put it where her heart was. Her face was also gradually becoming paler and paler.
Jeremy’s expression changed as well. He carried Madeline bridal style and placed her on the carer’s bed in the ward. “Linnie, don’t be scared. You’ll be fine.”
