Chapter 666
With that move, the man threw away his blade in pain and rolled onto the ground with a pale face.
“Get lost!”
Madeline denounced aggressively.
The other two saw this scene and were so scared that they turned and left.
Madeline immediately called the police, but after seeing the blood still running from Jeremy’s arm and how it was raining, she was not patient enough to wait for the police to arrive. As such, she took Jeremy to the car.
“I’ll take you to a health center nearby to bandage the wound.”
“How did you know that there’s a health center nearby?”
Madeline was also surprised when Jeremy asked this all of a sudden.
Yeah, how would she know?
However, it was a truth in her memory.
Without delay, she took Jeremy to the health center based on what she remembered.
When they came out after treating the wound, it was raining even heavily.
Just then, Madeline received a call from Felipe. He was asking her where she was.
Madeline glanced at Jeremy who was standing beside her and said, “I’m with a friend, and there’s something I need to settle.”
Felipe did not ask who this friend was, but he had guessed that Madeline was with Jeremy.
After hanging up the call, Madeline held up an umbrella for Jeremy.
“Let’s go, Mr. Whitman.” She reminded, stepping onto the sidewalk.
“I’m sorry to trouble you, Miss Montgomery.” He had switched back to this unfamiliar term of address.
Madeline chuckled. “You don’t have to be so polite with me, Mr. Whitman. You were blinded saving me and the wound on your arm is also because of me. It’s not bothersome at all for me to just hold the umbrella for you now.”
“If I was afraid of you, I wouldn’t have come here with you.” Not to be outdone, Madeline immediately took Jeremy to a nearby hotel and got a room.
Upon entering the room, Madeline was first going to take a bath.
She was drenched all over, so if she let herself remain in this state, she might really catch a cold and fever.
Jeremy took advantage of Madeline taking a shower and fumbled downstairs to find the proprietress. “Please help me prepare two cups of ginger tea, thank you.”
He was worried that Madeline would catch a cold and was even more worried about being unable to take care of her if she really did get a fever.
Jeremy returned in the same way and opened the door with his room card. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Madeline screaming in the bathroom.
“Ah!”
“Linnie?”
Thinking that something had happened to Madeline, Jeremy held no consideration for his own situation and bumped his way into the bathroom. He looked panicked and worried.
“Linnie, what’s the matter? Linnie! Where are you?”
