Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 1324

He was the man who made her wait for too long until Ryan was able to torture her into this state.

"Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll take you back to wait for Jeremy." He coaxed her as he was left with no other choice.

Tomorrow, he would take her back to Glendale.

After all, this was Y Country. This place would not be as comfortable as her hometown.

When night fell, Jeremy made a sumptuous dinner by himself. Madeline was satisfied with the meal. She did not resist him as much as before and was willing to eat the shrimp that Jeremy peeled for her. Moreover, there was a small and elegant smile on her face.

For a moment, Jeremy also felt that he was content with their current state.

She had experienced too many bumps and pains along the way. She only had a handful of happy days.

Suddenly, he hoped that she could be as carefree as she was now. He hoped that she would be able to live a carefree and peaceful life with a childlike nature.

After nightfall, Jeremy prepared a bath for Madeline before heading to the room to make the bed for her.

After he was done, Jeremy was at a loss when he looked at the only double bed in the apartment.

If Madeline's mental state was normal, she would certainly not resist him, but now...

Jeremy seemed to foresee Madeline kicking him out of bed.

Kicking?

He suddenly thought of Madeline's injured sole and then quickly came to the bathroom door.

"Linnie, there are several wounds on your body that can't get in contact with water. Do you want me to go in and help you?" Jeremy asked worriedly, but he did not hear Madeline's answer aside from the sound of running water.

"Linnie," he called out again, but still, he did not get a response.

Jeremy was worried. He was afraid that Madeline had fainted or something might have happened in the bathroom. As such, he opened the door and rushed in without hesitating.

Madeline was drying her body when she turned her head curiously upon hearing movements behind her. All of a sudden, she saw Jeremy with a nervous expression appearing in front of her eyes.

She was stunned, and the towel she was holding in her hand fell to the ground. In that instant, warmth started crawling from the base of her ears to her cheeks.

However, Jeremy was more concerned about Madeline's physical condition at the moment. He walked straight to her and took her hand. "Linnie, are you okay? Why didn't you respond when I called out to you?"

Madeline pulled her hand back, her expression changing drastically. "Y-You..."

Her small face turned red immediately as she turned to grab the bath towel. However, since she was in a hurry, she forgot about the injury on the sole of her foot. After stepping heavily on the ground, she shuddered in pain.

"Ah." Madeline gasped in pain.

Jeremy dashed behind Madeline to support her shoulders with both hands.

The moment he touched Madeline's skin, Jeremy's heart started racing. It was as if he had only realized his current situation now.

He had barged in when she was completely naked.

If it was before, of course, there would be no problem.

However, Madeline was treating him as a stranger now.

Worried that Madeline would react excessively, Jeremy immediately let go of her after stabilizing her.

"Linnie, I'll be waiting for you outside. Scream for me if you need anything." Jeremy hurriedly left for fear of making Madeline unhappy.

However, after he exited the bathroom, his heartbeat became more excited. Plus, the blood in his whole body seemed to be ignited as it began to boil.

"Jeremy Whitman, what are you thinking about at this time?!" he scolded himself and forced himself to stop thinking about it, but he could not get rid of what he just saw in his mind.

As his heartbeat sped up wildly, Madeline's soft voice came from the bathroom.

"Can you come in for a bit?"
