Chapter 848

Then, Madeline started taking off her clothes in front of Jeremy. After that, she put on a bathrobe and pretended that she had just finished showering.

Jeremy hugged Madeline when he saw her turning off the shower and was about to go out. His deep voice was filled with warning. “Don’t let him touch you. If not, you won’t get any peace tonight.”

Madeline did not answer Jeremy. After he let go of her, she walked out and closed the door behind her.

Felipe heard Madeline walking out and turned off his phone. Then, he looked at Madeline. “You were in a bad mood just now. What happened?”

His tone was laced with concern while his eyes looked kind.

Madeline shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Felipe reached out his hand and placed it on Madeline’s stomach. “Is the child giving you a hard time?

Our baby is so cheeky.”

His movement was too sudden and Madeline immediately moved away from him.

However, perhaps it was repulsion or rejection, Madeline suddenly felt nauseous.

She held her stomach reflexively as the familiar feeling of morning sickness came crashing against her.

Madeline covered her mouth. When she was about to go into the bathroom, she remembered Jeremy who was hiding inside and stopped in her tracks.

Felipe looked at Madeline’s sudden movement profoundly, then at the footprints on the floor that did not belong to her nor him.

“Eveline, do you want to vomit? I’ll help you to the bathroom.” Felipe placed his hand on Madeline’s shoulder.

Madeline wanted to stop him, but Felipe was already walking over to the bathroom like he had a purpose and soon pulled the door open.

This made Madeline’s heart leap into her mouth.

However, what shocked her the most was that the bathroom was empty and Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.

Madeline was still hesitating when nausea rose again.

She ran to the basin and retched. Then, she touched her stomach in disbelief.

At this moment, she calmed down and felt a soft bump on her stomach.

The child was still in her stomach!

Felipe did not see the sudden joy in Madeline’s face as he was looking at the window that was half-

open.

“Eveline, you’re pregnant, so you should rest early. I don’t want you to get too worked up.” Felipe looked at the window sill. “I have something to take care of. You should sleep first.”

“Okay, go ahead,” Madeline replied.

She wanted Felipe to leave now too. She wanted to know where Jeremy was and ask about the situation regarding her child.

After Felipe left, Madeline locked the door. When she went back to the bathroom, she saw Jeremy at the window sill.

She realized that he had only jumped onto the window sill.

Thankfully, they were only on the second floor. If he fell, then it would be too horrible to contemplate.

Madeline went up to him hurriedly and grabbed his arm. “Jeremy, my child is still alive? What happened to that procedure?”

Jeremy looked at her calmly. “That child belongs to him indeed.”

“…” Madeline remembered what Felipe said to her just now and knew that Jeremy had misunderstood her. “The child is yours, Jeremy. I only had you this entire time, be it in the past or present.”

Jeremy chuckled bitterly in disappointment. Then, he reached out and grabbed the back of her neck.

“Linnie, are you still trying to lie to me?”

“Jeremy, I didn’t lie to you. If you don’t believe me, I can prove—”

Click.

The door opened all of a sudden and Felipe appeared.

“Jeremy, you’re pretty gutsy. You even walked right into the trap. However, this time, I won’t let you get the chance to run away.” Felipe smirked ominously and pulled out his pistol without hesitation.

Bang!

“No!” Madeline blocked the bullet for Jeremy without hesitation. However, Jeremy grabbed Madeline who had pounced on him and turned abruptly to use his body to take the bullet fired from Felipe’s pistol.

The bullet penetrated his body as he could not dodge it. Then, his blood splattered all over the place.

Madeline felt as if the bullet had penetrated her heart as well. Debilitating pain was drilling through her limbs and bones.

She held the man who got shot. “Jeremy!”
