After taking a few big strides forward, Jeremy shot a glance at Lindsay who was beside him as if he had seen a ghost. Then, he rushed downstairs.
Her hand still in mid-air, Lindsay was also startled by what unfolded in front of her.
Jeremy lifted Cecilia up from the floor and patted her on the face. "Cecilia, wake up. Cecilia, are you okay? Are you hurt?" He pinched her cupid's bow and examined her all over. He saw that she had sabrasions on her forehead, but the wounds were not deep. Then, Cecilia slowly opened her eyes. "Brother-in-law, it hurts..." "Where does it hurt? It's great that you're awake, thank God! Don't be afraid! I'll take you to have a checkup right away!" He pulled her up at first, and then Jeremy carried her. "Don't fall asleep, I'll call the doctor for you right away!" Along the way, Jeremy kept talking to her, afraid that something would happen to her.
At the junction of the corridor, Lindsay was still absent-minded and she stopped him. She kept shaking her head, "Jeremy, I..." She didn't expect it to be like that! He glared at her. For the first time, there was no emotion in Jeremy's gaze. "Go away!" He yelled.
Then, he carried Cecilia and left hurriedly.

At the side, Jeremy looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. "Doctor, how is she? Is she okay?" He didn't expect her to get involved, too. If something bad happened to her, how would he be able to explain it to the Castle family? "At present, it's nothing serious! There are sabrasions on her body, ssigns of minor bone fracture on her ankles, and she has a slight concussion! It's better for her to stay in the hospital tonight for observation. If there's no issue by tomorrow, she can be discharged! However, she must rest. In addition, the bone fracture of her twisted ankle needs to be cast. She must take stoff and rest, and she shouldn't exert herself! A month later, she can cback to get an X-ray and do a follow up..." The doctor explained to him. "Okay, thank you, doctor!" Jeremy answered.
After taking the medicine prescription, Jeremy was going to pay for it. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Lindsay standing on the other side of the corridor. Then, he went back to the ward.
"Please helptransfer the patient to the VIP ward. No one is allowed to visit her except me!" "Sir, the VIP ward is for long-term hospitalized patients. It can't be booked unless the patient is here for at least a week!" Looking at him, the doctor was obviously in a bit of a dilemma. "Then, a week it is!" After that, he handed the payment invoice back, and then the doctor added another item on it before handing it back to him.
When he left the room again, Jeremy just walked past Lindsay. Turning around, Lindsay ran up to him and said, "Jeremy, please listen to my explanation, okay? I was just trying to reason with her. I didn't mean it..." "I didn't mean to hurt her!" "Jeremy..." She tried to talk to him.
She chased after Jeremy and tugged at his clothes all the way. Lindsay's footsteps were still a bit unsteady. "Don't do this! Can you giveanother chance? Jeremy, I can't live without you. I really love you!" With a sudden swing of his hand, Jeremy flung her off as if she was a cockroach.
"This is enough! Lindsay, do you know what love is? Your love is the kind that keeps hurting the people around me, the people I care about, and the people who care about me. Do you feel that I can't have anything else aside from you? Do I not deserve anything more?" He clenched his fists a few times, and the hurtful emotion in Jeremy's gaze was obvious.
"Your love is too selfish! Do you love me, or just the things that you fancy? Lindsay, how many vile things have you done? I know that you care about me, and you have done a lot for me, so, even if I..." He didn't love her that much, but he still decided to be with her! The words were lingering on Jeremy's tongue, but he didn't say them. He paused for a moment and said, "I want to settle down with you, but what are you doing? Are you not content? It's because of your selfishness that you even did this to a mental health patient. Yet, you are still askingfor another chance. Aren't you ashamed?" The anger in his heart burned like a volcano, but he still tried hard to suppress it. After all, they were once a couple, and Lindsay had borne his child twice.
Closing his eyes, Jeremy said, "I'm tired! I'm afraid of your love. I can't afford it! Don't touch the people aroundagain. Next time, I won't go easy on you!" Jeremy waved his hand and strode away.
Behind him, Lindsay took a few steps forward, choked with sobs and tears poured down from her face.
At the cashier, Jeremy paid for the bill and went to hand the prescription to the pharmacy. As soon as he picked up the medicine, he turned around and saw Alicia also holding a prescription in her hands, and was waiting in line. He took a few big steps forward and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Looking up suddenly, Alicia was stunned for a moment, but then she shook her head and said, "No, I'm here to accompany my friend!" While they were talking, it was her turn at the counter. Alicia paid first and then went to the nearest pharmacy counter to hand in the prescription and signed for it. When she turned around, she saw that Jeremy was actually waiting for her.
Vaguely, she felt that he had changed a lot, so she didn't avoid him deliberately. They went to the elevator together. On the way, Alicia also asked him about his situation and only then did she know that Lindsay had a miscarriage again. She couldn't describe how she felt. In front of the elevator, Alicia was stunned. At that time, the plastic bag in Jeremy's hand was somehow cut by something, and the box of medicine fell out, with a bottle of vitamins that rolled far away.

Alicia turned around and ran over to help him pick it up. As soon as Lindsay walked up from the stairs, she saw the scene. As a reflex she hid in the corner. Returning the medicine to him, Alicia gave him a few words of comfort, "Don't think too much! Life will eventually get better. Perhaps it's just still not fated yet!" The last sentence was in fact about whether he was fated to have a baby yet! However, when Lindsay heard elet
Alicia's words, they meant something completely different to her... Alicia e m was taking pleasure in Jeremy's misfortune. She was saying that she was not fated to be together with Jeremy, and she was persuading him to let go of her! All of a sudden, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Her sharp fingernails pierced into her palm! "That's right..." He did not say much, but Jeremy felt that life was still not that dull, seeing that she was well. He turned and said, "The elevator is here, let's go!" Then, the two of them turned and entered the elevator together.
Walking out, there were flames of anger in Lindsay's eyes...
In the hospital, Victoria opened her eyes in a daze and it really felt as if she was dead. She blinked her eyes, and her mind was still buzzed.
"You're awake! Don't move, I'll call a doctor for you!" Trevor screamed.
The moment he saw her open her om eyes, Trevor's eyes were almost brimming with tears. He even forgot to use the panic button and just turned around and ran out in a hurry. "Doctor, doctor!" From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the IV drip on one side, and only then did Victoria's memories cback to her.
