Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 21

Jeremy was fearful. He felt like there was a hidden thorn in his heart stabbing him mercilessly. He picked up Madeline without any hesitation.

When Meredith saw this from one side, she stepped forward to stop him. “Jeremy, where are you taking Maddie?”

However, Jeremy ignored her and sped to the hospital while holding Madeline.

Throughout the way, his brain was occupied with the moment he first met the girl when he was young. That moment was delicate yet quiet and contented. It kept on replaying in his brain.

Jeremy’s heart was beating frantically. He somehow forgot that he was supposed to be in disdain of Madeline and carried her to the ER frantically.

She had said she was pregnant and it was his. However, his body was now stained with her blood.

Jeremy felt as if he was being suffocated by something invisible. This was the first time he hoped that Madeline would be okay.

He paced back and forth as he waited outside. He felt extremely anxious.

At this moment, a nurse walked out. Jeremy stopped her and asked, “What’s happening? What’s wrong with my wife?”

The nurse looked at Jeremy. There was resentment in her tone as she said, “You’re really something else as her husband. She’s pregnant, and she was still running around in the rain. Not to mention, she’s covered in wounds all over. She has a cold and is bleeding from her genitals. It’s up to God whether the child will be saved.”

Jeremy felt like he could not breathe. The suffocating feeling made his mind go blank. There was only one thing on his mind; it was for Madeline to be saved no matter what.

After a long time, the door to the operating room opened.

Jeremy rushed to the bed and found Madeline unconscious. Seeing her colorless face, Jeremy felt a pang in his heart.

He could not help himself from holding Madeline’s cold hand as his eyes displayed a solemn gaze.

‘Madeline, tell me. Why did you call me Jez? Why do you know about my promise with Linnie when I was young?’

Madeline was brought to the VIP room where she slept drowsily. She vaguely felt someone holding her hand as the warmth slowly seeped into her skin. Her body did not feel so cold anymore.

When Madeline woke up, it was already the next day. While trying to move, she noticed that someone was holding her hand tightly.

She widened her eyes in dumbfoundedness and saw Jeremy leaning against the bed. His hand was holding hers tightly. It felt so warm.

Madeline looked at what was happening with a dazed look on her face. She felt as if she were dreaming.

Jeremy opened his eyes the moment he felt movement.

When he saw Madeline looking at him stupidly, he touched her forehead. She had had a fever the night before, but it seemed like it had gone away.

Madeline was in disbelief at Jeremy’s gentle gestures. “Jeremy…” She called out to him. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt.

“Don’t talk. Let me fetch you a glass of warm water.”

“Jeremy…” Madeline’s eyes turned red, and she felt like all of her wounds had been healed.

Jeremy helped her up and fed her some water.

He did not ask her about what had happened when they were kids upon seeing her in such a weak state.

Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s chest. At this moment, his gentleness felt so surreal.

“Jeremy, why did you…”

“When did you have the baby? Why didn’t you tell me?” His tone was gentle. He had never talked to her like this before.

Madeline was stunned as she held the glass of water. She remembered telling him clearly.

When Jeremy saw that Madeline was in a state of daze, he did not say anything more.

“You should rest now. Just tell me when you’re better.” He then carefully helped her lie down.

Madeline was tearful. She was a little joyous too.

Had he remembered their promise because she had called him Jez before falling unconscious? Or was he now feeling remorseful because she almost had a miscarriage?

No matter what the reason was, Madeline was happy.

At the very least, Jeremy would look at her now.

Jeremy wanted to stay with Madeline a little longer. However, he ended up leaving after seeing that he had a few phone calls from his company. When he was about to near the lift, he heard Meredith’s voice from the other end of the corridor.

“Doctor, is that true?” Meredith sounded astonished. “Please don’t tell Maddie’s husband about this!”

Upon hearing this, Jeremy’s expression changed.

He walked nearer and saw that Meredith had her back against him. She was talking to Madeline’s doctor.

“Why is this happening? I never expected Maddie to do something like that…” Not long after, Meredith was heard sighing.

Jeremy had not gotten the full story. However, when he was about to go forward and question them, the doctor frowned and said awkwardly, “Sigh! It’s against my medical ethics to lie, but your sister is really something else. She isn’t pregnant, but she insisted on pretending to be pregnant. She even used fake blood to pretend that the baby had been affected. When we found out, she threatened to kill herself and forced us to lie with her. We’re speechless!”

Jeremy’s face was immediately covered with a layer of ice after he heard this.

She was pretending?

Madeline was pretending to be pregnant? Her blood was also fake?

“I can understand why Maddie would have done that, but I never would’ve imagined she’d threaten to kill herself and force you guys to lie to her husband. She’s so headstrong!”

“I think you should talk to your sister. Her husband will see through her fake pregnancy one day.” The doctor turned around to leave after talking to her.

Meredith chased up to him. “Doctor, don’t tell anyone about this, especially my sister’s husband. I’m afraid that he might kill her if he finds out.”

The doctor sighed helplessly. “You should take care of it yourself. At the end of the day, there’s nothing wrong with Madeline. She can be discharged at any time.”

“Thank you, Doctor! Thank you, Doctor!”

Meredith thanked the doctor as he walked away.

After thanking the doctor, Meredith sighed and frowned.

“Maddie, you’ve gone over the top. I can forgive you for pretending to be me and lying to Jeremy that you’re his childhood friend. However, how could you lie about being pregnant? Sigh!”

Meredith sighed and turned around. She lifted her head and saw Jeremy in the distance. Consequently, she let out a shocked expression.

She looked at Jeremy timidly. “J-Jeremy, when did you get here?”

Jeremy looked at Meredith who was so nervous that she was rubbing her hands together. He suppressed his anger. “You’re aware of that woman’s scheme, and you’re still trying to lie to me for her?”

Having heard Jeremy’s words, Meredith was stunned for a few seconds. Nevertheless, she looked at him with a puzzled look on her face and said, “Jeremy, I don’t know what you’re talking about? Who? Who did I help? You must have misheard me.”

When Jeremy saw that Meredith refused to tell him the truth, he frowned. “I heard what you said to the doctor, and you still want to lie to me?”

Meredith shook her head, and her eyes turned red from grievance. “Jeremy, I’m not lying to you. How could I lie to you?”

“Are you still not going to tell me the truth?”

“Jeremy…”

“Alright, if you don’t want to tell me the truth, I’ll ask her myself!” Jeremy turned around; his eyes were cold.

“Jeremy, no!” Meredith ran over and grabbed Jeremy’s arm. “Jeremy, don’t be angry. Please don’t be angry!”

She sobbed. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lied to you. However, if I hadn’t lied for Maddie, you wouldn’t be able to forgive her. That’s why I…”

Meredith grabbed Jeremy’s arm and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Jeremy, please don’t blame Maddie. She knows she’s at fault. I know she won’t do such a thing ever again!

“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have stayed with you after your wedding. I caused Maddie to fake her pregnancy out of jealousy. I also shouldn’t have told Maddie about what happened when we first met and made her have that sinister idea. That’s why she lied and told you that she’s that little girl. It’s all my fault, Jeremy. Just put all the blame on me!”

Jeremy’s eyes were extremely dark when he heard this.

It was all fake!

She was only trying to make him pity her!

She was a pathological liar indeed. Why would he think that she was the little girl that he wanted to protect? That girl was Meredith!

Flames of wrath rose up in his chest as he recalled how gentle he had treated Madeline just now.

Consequently, he turned around and charged back toward her room. Meredith called out after him frantically. However, a smirk had already appeared on her lips.

Madeline had closed her eyes when Jeremy barged in with a dark expression on his face. Her heart skipped a beat. “Jeremy, what’s wrong?”

Jeremy did not say anything. He walked toward the side of the bed slowly.

Madeline felt the aura of death coming from him. However, just as she was about to speak, Jeremy reached out his hands and grabbed her by the neck.

“Jeremy…”

At that moment, Madeline could not breathe. Her pale face turned red.

“Madeline Crawford, you deserve to die.” Jeremy moved his lips frigidly. His dark eyes were staring at her as if he wanted to see through her. “It would’ve been fine if you had only pretended to be pregnant, but how dare you impersonate Meredith? Did you really think you’d be able to get away with it?”

What…

Madeline’s eyes widened in confusion, but she could not say anything as she was being choked.

She could only see Jeremy’s eyes. They looked like they were about to slice her with a knife a million times.

“Madeline, since you had the nerve to lie to me, you should know what the consequences you should suffer are!”

After he said that, he pushed Madeline away.

Madeline was like a broken doll that was being thrown away. She fell from the bed, and her head hit the corner of its frame. Additionally, the IV drip in the back of her hand was ripped out, and she trembled from the excruciating pain.

She placed her hand on her stomach subconsciously and got up despite being in pain. Subsequently, she sat on the floor and grabbed Jeremy’s pants. “Jeremy, I didn’t lie to you. I’m r-really pregnant. I have the doctor’s proof. You can take me for an ultrasound now. Jeremy, please trust me for once. Just once, Jeremy…”

“Heh.”

Jeremy scoffed lightly. He looked down at Madeline coldly with his dark eyes.

“Madeline, I underestimated you. You even managed to bribe the doctors here to make them lie to me about your pregnancy. Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I’d be fooled so easily?”
