Chapter 1231
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âLily!â Fabianâs heart also leaped into his mouth at that moment. He ignored everything as he charged forward.
âOh my God, the little girl fell!â
âItâs 28 stories high! Sheâll definitely die falling from here!â
The reporters gasped, but at the same time, they still tried to capture this moment on camera.
In the blink of an eye, Madeline felt a gust of wind on her side.
The wind smelled familiar as it engulfed her.
Madeline could not see Jeremy before he zoomed past her as fast as lightning. As he pushed her away from the danger zone, he leaped down without thinking.
âAh!â Someone screamed when they saw a figure of a man appearing before jumping down with no hesitations. They were completely shocked.
Madeline was pushed to one side where she looked dumbfoundedly at the figure who zoomed past her.
She felt debilitating pain in her heart as she felt all of her senses and consciousness fading away from her.
âJeremyâ¦â she called out to Jeremyâs name absent-mindedly as tears poured from her eyes.
Madeline wanted to run over, but before she could do it, she felt her legs giving out under her.
âEveline!â Fabian supported her quickly.
Looking at Madelineâs pale and panic-stricken eyes, he understood why she was reacting like this.
âNo. Donât leave me, Jeremy. Lilyâ¦â
Madeline looked at the empty edge of the roof as her consciousness started to drift.
The police were stunned for a long while as well before rushing over to look in the direction where Jeremy jumped.
They thought they would see a bloody and gory scene, but surprisingly, they saw the two of them safe and sound.
âThey didnât fall!â
âItâs Jeremy!â
âJeremy? Get ready to capture him later!â
When Madeline heard that, she felt like her world was lighting up again.
She ignored the wounds on her body as she ran to the edge of the roof, looking down.
It was then she realized that there was a ledge down there. Jeremy was squatting on the ledge and holding the railing as he held Lillian who was dangling in the air.
Since the ledge was narrow, Jeremy could not pull Lillian up straightaway.
Madeline saw the layer of sweat on the manâs forehead. His complexion was horrible, and she was wondering whether the poison was acting up in his body again and whether it was tormenting him.
She felt her heart aching when she saw such a scene. âJeremy.â
Jeremy lifted his head to look into Madelineâs eyes when he heard her voice.
The moment his eyes met hers, he gave her a gentle smile.
âDonât be scared. I wonât let anything happen to our daughter,â he promised while tightly grabbing the little hand in his.
Jeremy lowered his head, his gentle and loving gaze falling on Lillianâs lovely face.
âLily.
âLily, this time I wonât let go of your hand no matter what. If youâre going to fall, Iâll fall with you.â
Jeremy looked into those innocent big eyes of hers, his gaze filled with pity and apology for this child.
