Chapter 606

“Thank you.”

Madeline paused when she heard that. Then, she walked off.

Jeremy’s eyes were gentle as he looked at Madeline as she left. He ate the noodles with a heart filled with joy.

Both of them had not eaten anything for the entire day.

At that moment, he was extremely happy eating the bowl of noodles that was prepared by her.

…

Eloise and Sean were worried sick when they found out that Madeline had gotten into the car with Jeremy. Madeline was last seen at the entrance of the kindergarten.

They could not get in touch with Jeremy nor Madeline. They also could not find out where Jeremy took Madeline.

Jackson sat on the sofa obediently. He looked at them with his bemused and innocent eyes, asking, “Grandpa and Granny, Daddy said that he’ll take me to the playground with Mommy. Where are they?”

Eloise hurriedly wheedled him with a smile on her face. “Jack, your parents have something to do.

They’ll be back in two days. It’s fairly late now, so let’s get ready for bed?”

Jackson nodded obediently. “Granny, can you sing me to sleep? Mommy always sings this song when I sleep. Mommy’s voice is so pretty.”

Eloise felt a pinch in her heart and was tearing up. She held Jackson’s tiny hand and walked him upstairs. “Granny can sing for you, but Granny’s singing is not as nice as your mom’s.”

“Granny loves Jack as much as Mommy loves Jack, so Granny’s singing is nice too,” Jackson said charmingly, his eyes sincere and certain.

Eloise wiped the tears from her eyes and said softly, “Granny will never be as good as your mom.

Granny has done many wrong things and will never be able to match up to your mom…”

She said that in a low voice so that Jackson would not hear anything.

Downstairs.

Sean looked through the security footage again and again. He sighed and said to Felipe who was silently sitting on the sofa, “Mr. Whitman, I don’t think Jeremy would hurt Madeline.”

“He will,” Felipe said in a calm tone, “Jeremy’s soulmate, Meredith, is dead. He took Linnie for one and one reason only—to avenge Meredith.”

“No, no, he won’t do that.” Sean defended Jeremy. “It’s clear that Jeremy regrets what he did to her, so how could he bear to hurt Eveline again?”

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Felipe’s eyes. However, a smile appeared on his gentle face as he said, “Do you really believe that Jeremy will change? You’ve forgotten how Eveline almost died on the operating table. It was all his fault. Before Eveline lost her memory, she had already decided to return to F Country with me. Do you think that it’s coincidental that she got into a car accident around the same time?”

When he heard that, Sean was stunned for a moment. “Mr. Whitman, you mean—”

“After the accident, the police told us that the brakes of Eveline’s car were messed with. Who else can do this kind of thing aside from Jeremy?”

“Uh…”

“I hired a private investigator and found out the truth. Jeremy is guilty. I’m really worried now that Eveline is being held hostage by him…”

“Jeremy did it?” Sean asked in disbelief.

Felipe nodded affirmatively. He was just about to get up when he suddenly got a notification on his phone.

He turned around and found a mobile phone that was left on the sofa. Felipe then picked it up.

“This is Jack’s phone,” Sean explained.

“Jack’s phone?” Felipe lowered his gaze and looked at the notification that popped up on the screen.

The image that popped up stunned him for a moment. Eventually, he understood what he had to do. A broad smile appeared on his face.

…

On the island.

When the sun rose, Jeremy woke up from a dream. As soon as he opened his eyes, he went to look for Madeline.

Seeing that Madeline was not in any of the rooms, he hurriedly ran out of the holiday house and looked around the coast. He did not find any trace of Madeline.

‘Linnie, have you left?’

Nervous thoughts were clouding his head when he noticed the footprints on the beach.

His heartbeat increased rapidly. He followed the footprints and was taken aback by the sight in front of him.
