Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1941

“Linnie.”

As Madeline entered, Jeremy softly called out to her, and his dim eyes turned bright again.

He immediately sat back up, but his movement was too large, and it affected his leg wound.

“Hiss.”

He let out a muffled groan.

If it had been any other time, he would not even make a sound, but now that he saw Madeline, he instinctively yearned for her care and concern.

Madeline noticed Jeremy’s action.

However, her expression was calm, and she did not react with any worry in response to Jeremy’s discomfort.

It felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over Jeremy’s eager and yearning heart. He felt very cold.

Nevertheless, he had to comfort himself. If Madeline had not been hypnotized, and if she had not been instilled with some groundless ideas by Carter, she would have cared for him, and she would have cared very much.

When he saw Madeline walking toward him, Jeremy did not know how to break the silence that now enveloped them.

In his heart, he wanted to call her name again. He wanted to hold her hand, but he was afraid that she would be repelled by his reaction now that she was hypnotized.

He did not want her to reject him, to hate him.

Jeremy struggled in his heart and finally decided to let Madeline speak first.

However, Madeline’s gaze did not seem to be on him. She looked around the room before turning her gaze on Jeremy.

“They told me Carter’s here. Where is he?”
