Chapter 1165
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
The same time his voice sounded, Jeremy swiftly struck at the man like an unsheathed sword blade.
The man was burly, and he had strength. Seeing Jeremy rushing over, he threw away the bag in his hand and turned to run. At the same time, he made a call. âIâve been found! Take that little thing away quickly! If it doesnât work, kill the hostage!â
âKill the hostage!â
These three words fell into Jeremyâs ears. How could he bear it?
He jumped up and kicked the back of the man hard.
The man screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
However, he quickly got up again and wanted to keep running when a person suddenly appeared right in front of him. At that moment when he did not have time to dodge, he was kicked in his chest by the person in front of him. He then fell backward to Jeremy clumsily.
He wanted to get up again, but it seemed that the ribs on his chest had been broken. His face was pale with pain. He could not straighten himself up.
Jeremy looked at Fabian who had suddenly appeared in front of him with surprise.
Fabian seemed to be more violent than he himself who was the father as he rushed forward, pulling up the sweating man who was in pain.
âSay it! Where did you take that little girl?! Where is that girl now?!â
âYouâve beaten him till he canât speak anymore.â Jeremy strode over, furrowing his sword-like eyebrows. âHis accomplice should still be nearby. He just called his accomplice to take Lillian away.â
Just as he was saying this, a violent rubbing sound of tires suddenly came from the side.
Jeremy and Fabian looked over at the same time to see a black car quickly reversing before the steering wheel was turned. It headed straight toward the road.
This hasty move made Jeremy and Fabian aware that something was wrong at the same time.
The moment the car drove past their eyes, they also saw Lillian pushing her innocent and cute face against the window of the backseat. The little girl could not speak, only tapping continuously on the car window with her bound hands.
This scene fell into Jeremy and Fabianâs eyes, and the two called out in the same way with their voices filled with anxiety and distress, âLillian!â
The car passed them in a flash and they could not forget the helpless and expectant look on Lillian the second before.
Jeremy immediately returned to the car and drove the car in front of Fabian. âHurry up!â
Fabian got in the car without hesitation and stared at the car in front of them.
He could not lose them again this time!
Absolutely not!
The car was being driven madly, but Jeremyâs driving skills were not bad.
Although the car in front had tried to get rid of Jeremy many times, it was to no avail.
It was likely that the driver had gotten irritated as the car suddenly turned into a small alley. Jeremyâs car obviously could not pass through the narrow alley.
He could only predict the path of the car, so he made a circle and continued to chase forward.
âSh*t! Theyâre really cunning!â Fabian said angrily.
Jeremy was calmer. He glanced at Fabian and warned with a domineering tone, âWhy do you always go looking for my daughter? Fabian, donât get any ideas and try to hit on my daughter.â
Fabian could hear the deeper meaning in Jeremyâs words. He lowered his eyes and gave a sad smile.
âIâve not had a friend who treated me sincerely ever since I was young. Apart from my brother, Paul, Iâve never felt anything in this world that could warm me up.
âThat is, until I met Lillian. Her innocent smile made me feel a special warmth.â
âSo, what are you saying?â Jeremy asked, dissatisfied. âDonât tell me you like my daughter? Fabian, my daughter is only five years old!â
Fabianâs dim eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words. âIâm not that perverted. I just think itâd be great to have a sister like Lillian.â
Of course, if Lillian did not mind him being 14 years older than her, he would be happy to wait for her to grow up.
However, Fabian certainly did not dare to say this in front of Jeremy.
If he did, he could almost predict that Jeremy would just kick him out of the car.
