Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 1325

Jeremy thought he had heard it wrong, but soon after, he heard Madeline calling him again.

"Are you there?" she asked. There was no longer the sound of running water coming from inside, so her 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 he 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 he said he was not moved, but he could only endure it at this moment.

Seeing Jeremy staring at herself intently, Madeline slowly stretched out her 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, she 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 she instinctively wrapped her arms around Jeremy's neck.

She raised her indignant eyes to look at him all of a sudden. When she was just about to reprimand him, she was a little stunned when she 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 she involuntarily tightened her arms around him.

Jeremy carried Madeline onto the bed in the bedroom. Then, he brought over a small first aid kit to treat Madeline's wounds before redressing it.

During the process, he was very cautious as he did not want to hurt Madeline.

When he was done, Jeremy gently took Madeline's foot and suddenly bowed his head to press his lips to her foot.

Madeline widened her beautiful eyes in surprise. When she wanted to retract her feet, Jeremy had already let go of her.

He squatted in front of her 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 he slowly approached her.

He was satisfied as she was not resisting him anymore. He planted a kiss on the center of her 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 him so tamely, hence Jeremy was a little overjoyed.

His warm palms stroked her flushed cheeks before he 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 he looked at the obedient Madeline who was focused on listening to him.

"Linnie, I missed you so much."
