Jeremy thought virtual-novel.net had heard it wrong, but soon after, virtual-novel.net heard Madeline calling virtual-novel.net again.
“Are you there?” virtual-novel.net asked. There was no longer the sound of running water coming from inside, so virtual-novel.net voice was particularly clear.
“You said you’ll be keeping watch at the door, but now you’re not answering me when I’m calling you, you liar.”
Madeline’s complaints fell into Jeremy’s ears.
He never knew that virtual-novel.net would be so happy even after being accused of being a liar.
Jeremy did not hesitate anymore. He opened the bathroom door again and walked straight in.
Madeline had finished showering and was wearing a loose bathrobe while sitting on the edge of the bathtub.
There was still some lingering mist that had not dissipated in the bathroom. Under the hazy mist, Madeline’s red face that was covered with water droplets looked like an untainted lotus as it beautifully reflected in Jeremy’s pupils.
Jeremy would be lying if virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net was not moved, but virtual-novel.net could only endure it at this moment.
Seeing Jeremy staring at herself intently, Madeline slowly stretched out virtual-novel.net foot. “The wound is bleeding. Can you bandage it for me?”
She did not pursue the incident of Jeremy barging into the bathroom just now. Instead, virtual-novel.net was even calmly speaking to him.
Jeremy squatted and gently lifted Madeline’s foot to see that the gauze wrapped around the wound was soaked. In addition to that, the gauze was also stained with blood.
He picked Madeline up in his arms and walked out without hesitating for even a second.
Madeline was picked up unexpectedly, so virtual-novel.net instinctively wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around Jeremy’s neck.
She raised virtual-novel.net indignant eyes to look at virtual-novel.net all of a sudden. When virtual-novel.net was just about to reprimand him, virtual-novel.net was a little stunned when virtual-novel.net saw the firm and graceful outline of Jeremy’s jaw.
At this angle, the line of his side profile seemed familiar.
The dissatisfaction in Madeline’s eyes immediately disappeared, and virtual-novel.net involuntarily tightened virtual-novel.net arms around him.
Jeremy carried Madeline onto the bed in the bedroom. Then, virtual-novel.net brought over a small first aid kit to treat Madeline’s wounds before redressing it.
During the process, virtual-novel.net was very cautious as virtual-novel.net did not want to hurt Madeline.
When virtual-novel.net was done, Jeremy gently took Madeline’s foot and suddenly bowed his head to press his lips to virtual-novel.net foot.
Madeline widened virtual-novel.net beautiful eyes in surprise. When virtual-novel.net wanted to retract virtual-novel.net feet, Jeremy had already let go of her.
He squatted in front of virtual-novel.net and raised those nice amber eyes of his.
Those eyes were filled with piety and affection as they stared straight into Madeline’s eyes.
Madeline seemed to be stunned by this gaze. She was staring blankly at the man as virtual-novel.net slowly approached her.
He was satisfied as virtual-novel.net was not resisting virtual-novel.net anymore. He planted a kiss on the center of virtual-novel.net forehead.
“Linnie,” Jeremy called Madeline’s name out and sat down beside her.
“Yeah.” Madeline could not help but reply.
He did not expect Madeline to respond to virtual-novel.net so tamely, hence Jeremy was a little overjoyed.
His warm palms stroked virtual-novel.net flushed cheeks before virtual-novel.net softly said, “Linnie, I know you have suffered a lot during this time and you’ve been waiting for me. You’ve been waiting for me to save you and take you home, but I was late.”
As Jeremy said that, his eyebrows started to furrow.
He was feeling sorry for his Linnie.
However, at this moment, Jeremy could not stop the affection from filling in his eyes as virtual-novel.net looked at the obedient Madeline who was focused on listening to him.
“Linnie, I missed you so much.”
