Chapter 1628
This response from Madeline was like a cure for the wound. Suddenly, Jeremy felt that it was worth it even if he was hurting.
He raised his hand naturally, and his cool fingertips landed on Madeline’s cheek.
Madeline paused. She did not resist. Instead, she just moved quicker to wrap the gauze around his ankle before putting away the first aid kit.
“Come with me.”
She stood up as she spoke. Under the dim light, she accurately found the door.
Jeremy understood what Madeline meant. She was going to take him out of here.
Even if Madeline’s expression was very cold and indifferent at this moment, Jeremy did not think so anymore.
Madeline bypassed the places where the maids who were still awake might pass by and led Jeremy to the back door.
“Go now.” Her attitude was still so cold and resolute.
Jeremy nodded very obediently this time. “Okay, I’ll leave right away, but Linnie, I won’t let you continue to stay in this place alone.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy after hearing the words.
The smile on Jeremy’s lips became deeper. “Linnie, wait for me.”
After speaking these last four words, Jeremy finally left Gray Manor decisively.
Madeline raised her eyes and looked in the direction Jeremy left. A faint light flashed in her eyes.
After standing in place for a while, Madeline was about to return to the room.
However, as soon as she turned around, she felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at her from somewhere.
She stopped and pondered for a few seconds before slowly raising her beautiful eyes.
Madeline raised her hand to touch her forehead and furrowed her eyebrows slightly. “I still feel a little dizzy.”
“Really?” Carter frowned suspiciously. “Why did you faint suddenly? Did you feel unwell?”
“I don’t know what happened. I was very dizzy and then I lost consciousness.”
“I see.” Carter smiled insipidly, but it looked as if he was not fully convinced. “Why did you run downstairs in the wind after you woke up? It’s winter now, don’t you feel cold?”
“After sleeping for so long, I felt a little bored, so I wanted to get some fresh air,” Madeline explained with a smile. Then, she asked, “Cart, why are you standing out here drinking at such a late hour?”
Carter smiled, took another sip of red wine, and said slowly, “I’m admiring a woman. I wonder what kind of woman she is to not only have extraordinary endurance, perseverance, but also extraordinary acting skills.”
“…”
“Eveline, you’re not under hypnosis anymore, right?”
