Chapter 850

Madeline’s question sent Felipe into a daze.

His heart skipped a beat as he reflexively grabbed the hairband on his wrist.

Cathy…

The night turned dark.

Madeline had been waiting the entire time Jeremy’s surgery was in process.

Her restless heart only felt slightly relieved when the doctor told her that Jeremy had passed the critical stage.

She knew Jeremy only got shot because he was trying to protect her.

This man was always so cold to her, but his concern toward her was evident.

It could be seen that he was only throwing a tantrum when he got engaged with Yvette.

However, why did Yvette give her such a familiar feeling?

Madeline kept waiting outside the operating theatre. Then, she fell asleep unbeknownst to her. When she woke up, it was already the next day. She had a blanket over her and there were two bodyguards next to her.

She got up quickly. “Where’s Jeremy?”

“Mr. Whitman has already settled Jeremy down, so don’t worry too much, Madam. You can go back to the manor first.”

Madeline did not think that Felipe would settle Jeremy down, hence she asked again, “Where did he take Jeremy? Tell me!”

“Why don’t you go back to the manor, Madam? Mr. Whitman will tell you himself.”

Madeline knew she would not get an answer from these men, so she went back to the manor hurriedly.

Felipe was in the study reading the documents on his desk calmly.

“Where’s Jeremy?” Madeline walked over to him and asked without beating around the bush.

Felipe’s pen stopped. “You’ll only make him land into trouble again by being so concerned about him.”

“What do you want to do?”

“In the upper-class circle in F Country, you, Eveline Montgomery, is my wife. Plus, you’re also the woman I treasure the most,” said Felipe as he got up slowly, “Eveline, the more you care about Jeremy, the more I’ll want to get rid of him.”

“Felipe, you—”

“I can only tell you that he won’t die. Take good care of yourself and the child. I’ll bring Lillian here to see you.”

His phone rang after he said that.

He picked up his phone with a smirk on his lips. “Really? So she’s still alive.”

She? Alive?

Madeline looked at Felipe’s back and started guessing.

However, she could not concentrate as her brain was occupied with Jeremy.

After a few days, she had yet to receive any news about Jeremy. It did not seem like Felipe wanted to tell her anything. Yet, Madeline could sense that Jeremy was in a hostile environment.

Madeline tried to look for Jeremy, but she could not find him. However, the bodyguards going in and out of the basement elicited her curiosity.

When Felipe left the manor, she decided to use this opportunity. She pretended to scream fearfully in the house when the bodyguards were on break. “Snake! Somebody, help!”

When the bodyguards heard her, they did not dare to waste any time as they hurried over to catch the snake for Madeline.

“You’re not allowed to come out before you catch it,” ordered Madeline.

The bodyguards did not dare to go against her, so they picked up their tools and started searching the entire house.

On the other hand, Madeline pretended to hide outside of the house because of fear. Then, she walked straight to the basement.

She saw light coming from the crack of the door and knew the lights inside were on.

She pushed the door open with no hesitation. When she entered, she was alarmed by what she saw.
