Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1660

Chapter 1660

He took the hairdryer and helped Madeline dry her hair.

While she enjoyed being taken care of by Jeremy, Madeline started to reflect on the recent events, finding them a little bizarre.

She had been eating and drinking the same things as the Grays. If someone had deliberately laced her food with a slow-acting poison, then who could it be? Further, how did this person come about the slow-acting poison?

Madeline pondered but quickly dismissed this thought.

At this point, she still could not be completely sure what is happening to her, so she should not freak herself out.

After her hair was dried, Madelina and Jeremy decided to have a meal before they went to the airport.

The winter in St. Piaf was extremely cold. Even with their coats on, they still could not withstand the bone-chilling winds of winter.

Jeremy was tightly holding onto Madeline’s hand, so he could plainly feel her shivering hands.

“Linnie, you should wait at the convenience store in front. I’ll tell you when I’ve gotten a ride,” suggested Jeremy. He is unwilling to let Madeline continue being out in the cold street with him. He did not know why it was especially difficult to hail a taxi today.

Madeline was freezing. She could even feel herself shivering from the cold.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the convenience shop.” Madeline did not want Jeremy to worry about her, so she turned around and walked to the convenience store that was within 20 meters away.

She certainly felt much warmer once she was inside. However, she felt as if the bone-chilling cold was still seeping through her skin, so Madeline bought a cup of hot milk tea and sat down on the chair at the side to rest.

Despite the shop’s heater and the hot beverage to warm her hands and body, Madeline felt even colder now.

She lifted her hand to touch her forehead and noticed that there was a layer of cold sweat.

Madeline was immediately stunned. She remembered the doctor’s words, which subsequently reminded her of Jeremy’s concerns.

“Mrs. Whitman, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling ill?” Shirley asked as she stepped forward and held Madeline’s hand in concern.

Even though Madeline was feeling unwell, she remembered Adam’s advice, reminding them to stay as far away from Shirley as possible.

Although Adam did not clarify his reasons, he had been his savior on multiple occasions, so Madeline was willing to trust him unconditionally.

Madeline supported her body and gently retracted her hand. “Thank you for your concern. It’s just a cold. My husband is still waiting for me outside, so I should go now.”

Madeline remained calm and composed as she quickly walked out of the door.

Before she could go far, however, she could hear the sudden chill in Shirley’s voice coming from behind her.

“Since you’re dying to get away from me, I’m guessing you already know something, Mrs. Whitman.”

Madeline slowed down. Just as she was about to turn around to look, Shirley had already come up to her.
