Chapter 1953

After Madeline got up, she glanced around.

Carter was no longer in the study. He had left her to rest on the sofa alone.

Madeline stood there as if she was thinking about something for a while. She remembered the three things Carter had briefed her not long ago.

It was more like an order than a briefing. A moment later, Madeline left the study. When she passed by the room where Jeremy was in, she involuntarily slowed down.

Coincidentally, the door to the guest room was open.

Madeline saw that Carter’s family doctor was changing Jeremy’s wound dressing, and the maid who was in charge of taking care of Jeremy was being very intimate with him.

Madeline stopped and looked at the scene seemingly calmly.

“Dr. Lane, is Mr. Whitman’s wound healing well? Will there be any sequelae?” the maid asked, very concerned about Jeremy’s injury.

The doctor laughed when he heard that. “Mr. Whitman only got his injury today. How could it be possible that there will be signs of healing so soon? As for whether there will be any sequelae, it is still unclear.”

“ I see…” The maid raised her eyebrows, her face full of sadness. “Dr. Lane, you’re quite skilled in medicine, so you have to help Mr. Whitman. He is such a perfect and outstanding man, so you can’t let anything happen to his leg.”

Jeremy actually wanted to interrupt them a long time ago as he listened to the maid’s concern and worry.

However, to find out more about Madeline and Carter’s wedding tomorrow, he could only endure it.

It was just that when he inadvertently lifted his eyes, he was met with Madeline’s big and charming eyes.

“Linnie.”

The word naturally came out of Jeremy’s thin lips.

When the maid heard this, she repeated suspiciously, “Linnie?”

Curious, she then followed Jeremy’s gaze and saw Madeline standing at the entrance to the room.

“Miss Montgomery.”

Seeing that everyone in the room noticed her, Madeline smiled kindly and walked in.

“Miss Montgomery, ” the maid greeted respectfully. Madeline nodded slightly and walked to the bed.

When Dr. Lane saw Madeline coming, he also spoke kindly and courteously, “Miss Montgomery.”

“Dr. Lane.”

Madeline also greeted him politely and then she asked.

“Dr. Lane, how is Mr. Whitman’s injury? If you can, I hope you can try to heal Mr. Whitman’s leg injury as soon as possible. After all, Mr. Whitman was injured in Carter’s home, and I don’t want Mr. Whitman to go home with his injuries after attending me and Carter’s wedding. That would be too improper.”

After Madeline said that, she turned her gaze to Jeremy, who had been paying attention to her this whole time.

“Mr. Whitman, you can rest assured that I’ll ensure that no matter what, you can attend our wedding in one piece, and I’ll let you go home in one piece.”

Upon hearing Madeline’s promise and looking at her clear eyes, deep down, Jeremy suddenly felt at ease.

He curled his lips at Madeline and smiled softly.

“With your promise, I believe I’ll be able to go home in one piece, Miss Montgomery.”

As he said that, he added another sentence meaningfully.

“But I won’t be going back alone. I’ll be going back with the woman who is important to me.”

As soon as Jeremy finished saying this, the maid beside him blushed quietly.

Obviously, she was thinking too much. She thought that the woman Jeremy was talking about was her.
