Chapter 691

Yvonne was angry when she saw Jeremy running to them. She used all her force to push Madeline down the slope. “Off you go to hell, Madeline!”

Madeline lost her balance and felt her legs stepping in the air as she fell down the slope.

“Linnie!”

Jeremy extended his long arms, his hand accurately grabbing onto Madeline’s wrist.

Madeline raised her head to look up. Under the moonlight, her vision was occupied with Jeremy’s worried expression.

“Linnie!”

Jeremy was grateful as he stared at Madeline who was hovering in mid-air. He quickly pulled her up with effort.

“Don’t be afraid, Linnie. I’ll never let you go, never again.” He promised while giving all he got to pull Madeline up.

Yvonne got exasperated when she witnessed the scene.

She did not wish for Jeremy to pull Madeline up, but at the same time, she heard many footsteps approaching them.

Recalling that the 500,000 in cash had been taken away by her two other comrades, Yvonne was left with no choice but to flee the scene while gritting her teeth.

She did not wish to lose the money as well, not when she had failed to finish Madeline.

At that moment, Jeremy was not bothered by anything that was happening around him. All he cared about was Madeline.

Madeline never expected Jeremy to catch hold of her at the eleventh hour. She put in her effort as well and squeezed out all her strength to climb up.

However, given that the slope was too slippery, she felt she was moving downward as she continued climbing up.

She looked up and noticed that she was dragging Jeremy down the slope as well.

“Let go of me, Jeremy. I won’t be dead. At most, I’ll just roll all the way down.” She asked for Jeremy to let her go.

In the next second, she saw Jeremy’s eyes giving off a domineering aura as he looked straight into her eyes.

“The biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life is that I didn’t hold on to you properly and never gave you the happiness you deserve. Listen up, Eveline. I’ll never let go, not even death can make me let go of you!”

Every word that left his lips was like droplets of boiling water that dripped into Madeline’s heart.

She was lost in thought as she stared at his worried face. Suddenly, her whole body dropped down the cliff, and the next second, Jeremy was dragged down as well.

At the split second when they both fell, Jeremy pounced forward and hugged Madeline.

“Jeremy! Madeline!”

Winston and Karen finally caught up to them, only to witness both of them falling down the cliff.

The scene made Karen’s lower limbs give way as she dropped to the ground.

The moment she called out Jeremy’s name, Madeline’s name also came up to her throat.

Madeline’s earlier action to rescue Karen left her in a bottomless confusion…

Soon, the rescue team arrived. However, after reaching the bottom of the cliff, they failed to retrieve anything and could not track down Jeremy and Madeline’s location.

The sky had become much darker, and it was not convenient to continue with the search.

They had no choice but to retreat for now and continue the next day.

At dawn, crystal clear dew dropped onto the cliff without a sound.

Jeremy moved his lids, feeling a chilling breeze blowing up against him. He gradually opened his eyes.

The morning sunlight shone through the heavy mist. As he breathed in the air, the fragrance of the grass drilled into his nose as well.

Jeremy blinked his eyes and suddenly thought back to the incident that occurred last night. He spun around and saw Madeline lying in his arms, still not awakened.

He got up and gently tapped on Madeline’s face.

“Linnie, Linnie, wake up,” he called out to her softly but received no reaction from Madeline.

Jeremy noticed that her face was extremely pale. He started searching high and low all over her body to look for any injuries, but nothing unusual was noted.

He then called out to her again, but Madeline still did not respond.

Jeremy got more anxious, and when he extended his hand again, he was stunned.
