Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 1327

Jeremy's first instinct was to grab Madeline's hand and hold her in his arms.

He thought it was Ryan, but he lightened up when he saw the man who entered the apartment.

Madeline did not care who it was as she only nervously held Jeremy's hand, her eyes red and watery.

"Where's your phone? Give it to me. I'll call you an ambulance!" She anxiously rummaged through Jeremy's pockets.

"There's no need to call an ambulance. He'll be fine." Adam strode over to Jeremy with his medical kit.

Madeline finally seemed to notice that someone had entered. She looked at Adam and was somehow stunned.

Adam put down the medical kit and squatted in front of Jeremy.

He took a look at Jeremy's condition before quickly taking out a syringe and the reagent before skillfully injecting Jeremy with it.

Once again, Jeremy felt the familiar chill seeping through every cell of his body. After a brief period of numbness, the discomfort gradually subsided and his condition eased.

Madeline noticed the change in Jeremy's expression. Her furrowed eyebrows relaxed when she saw that he was not that uncomfortable now.

"Did the pain go away?" she asked with wet tears still in the corners of her eyes.

Jeremy met Madeline's worried eyes and smiled faintly. "I'm not in pain as long as you're with me."

Instead of trying to figure out if Jeremy was speaking the truth, Madeline nodded without hesitation. "I won't leave. I'll stay with you."

Getting that answer from her worked better than any medicine for Jeremy.

Madeline helped Jeremy to his feet and went to get some warm water. Before turning around, she told Adam, "Keep an eye on him for me."

Adam nodded. A hint of surprise seemed to flash across his face.

"Does she recognize you?" he asked Jeremy, puzzled.

Jeremy shook his head, feeling bittersweet. "She doesn't seem to recognize me as the one she's been waiting for, but I can tell she has feelings for me."

Adam started to see what Jeremy was getting at. "That's why she was upset when you were sick just now."

Jeremy looked lovingly at Madeline as she poured him a glass of water. "I think you're right. Only I can cure her."

He smiled faintly and looked at Adam. "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"I didn't come here suddenly. I was on the way to get the antidote but was held up in a bit of traffic," explained Adam. He had asked Jeremy for the apartment key during the day before he left. Speaking of which, Jeremy wanted to take the opportunity to make things clear.

"Adam, why did you use the slow-acting poison Lana developed on me and save me? Do you have a secret you can't tell?"

Madeline walked up to Jeremy with a glass of water as he finished speaking.

"It's warm. Have some." She held out the glass.

Jeremy took it with a warm smile and finished the warm water in front of Madeline.

Madeline seemed to be relieved, and the worry in her eyes was gone as well.

Jeremy was content when he saw the nervousness and concern in Madeline's eyes. "Linnie, go to bed early. I'll take you to your Jeremy tomorrow."

Jeremy thought Madeline would be happy to hear that.

However, she just nodded her head lightly. After glancing at Adam, she turned around and went back to her room.

After Madeline closed the door, Jeremy looked back at Adam solemnly.

"Adam, can you tell me your secret now?"

Adam smiled faintly and sat down on the couch across from Jeremy.
