Chapter 1183
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline was feeling uncomfortable, but at the same time, she could not express which part of her was feeling that way.
âJeremy, Iâm feeling dizzy.â Madeline, feeling lethargic, grabbed Jeremyâs hand. âHelp me back to the room so I can get some rest.â
As she was speaking, she slowly faced some difficulty in breathing. The face before her slowly became blurry as well.
The next second, she passed out.
âLinnie! Linnie!â
Jeremy was devastated and carried Madeline who was unconscious.
âLinnie!â
He carried her and rushed to the side of his car, feeling anxious.
Jackson and Lillian heard the commotion and turned around to look.
Karen came out of the house as well. She was shocked when she saw Jeremy being all anxious while carrying Madeline who was unconscious.
âJeremy! Whatâs wrong with Madeline?!â
âI donât know. Iâm going to send her to the hospital.â Jeremyâs heartbeat was racing madly, but he was trying his best to calm down. âYou and dad keep an eye on Lillian and Jack, especially Lillian.â
The moment he grabbed the steering wheel, he noticed his hand that was holding onto Madelineâs leg was covered with blood.
He looked back at the passenger seat and noticed Madeline was wearing black pants. If one did not take a closer look, one would have missed out on the fact that her pants were actually drenched in blood!
âBut why are her pants all bloody?â
Jeremy felt a pang of pain coursing through him.
He could not afford to hesitate any longer as he slammed on the gas pedal and headed to the hospital in full throttle.
On the way to sending Madeline to the emergency department, Jeremy attempted to take away the purse from Madelineâs hand but noticed that she was gripping on it tightly.
He forcefully pried her fingers away and managed to get his hands on the purse.
Looking at her pale face threw Jeremy in a state of terror.
âWhatâs going on, Linnie?
âHow did you get yourself injured?â
Jeremy waited anxiously for Madeline to come out from the emergency room.
Time was ticking away, and Jeremy kept pacing back and forth along the corridor.
He took a glance and noticed that a long time had passed. When he took out his phone at this moment, he saw a notification on the net that coincidentally popped out.
He scanned through the content. The story was about a young and pretty lady jumping into the river just for a purse. The netizens were even mocking her, saying that humans in this era were getting crazy.
âPurse.â
Subconsciously, Jeremy looked at the purse which Madeline had brought with her.
Suddenly, he realized that maybe the lady in the news was Madeline.
He clicked into the pop-up notification and saw there was a related short video attached to the story.
In that video, Madeline was chasing after a man who was holding onto her purse. All of a sudden, that man discarded the purse into the river. In the end, Madeline jumped into the river without thinking twice.
The scene where Madeline jumped into the river made Jeremy feel as if his heart was being pierced through.
He knew she could not swim, yet she had jumped into the water just for a purse.
Jeremy looked up the related videos and found more short clips of the scene taken from different angles.
Madeline was struggling and asking for help. Later, Ryan had appeared to save Madeline. There were even some thugs frantically taking pictures of Madelineâs body.
Jeremy pursed his lips, suppressing the flames of rage within him as he made a call to Ken.
He intended to make all the related videos vanish for good!
He wanted to find out who were the ones who offended Madeline and those who kept taking photos of her drenched in water. He would make them all pay for it.
After giving his orders to Ken, Jeremy tried to compose himself. After a moment, the anger within his eyes dissipated slightly.
