Chapter 1317
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
He looked at Adam who was standing in the same place. At this moment, he could not let go of the person who was still hiding in the depths of his heart.
He wanted to ask a question, but when he looked into Adamâs eyes, he felt that it was no longer necessary.
âIf he resists arrest again, just shoot him directly!â
Jeremy heard such a command from one of his colleagues.
He did not delay anymore and immediately started to hunt Ryan down with the rest of them.
However, Ryan seemed to have expected such a thing to happen a long time ago. He got onto his motorcycle that was parked in the garage and sped away.
One of the Interpol agents shot Ryan as he was getting away on a motorcycle. Although he did not hit Ryanâs vital parts, the bullet passed through his arm and injured him.
âGet him!â
The leader commanded. Before he set off, he felt very sorry for Jeremy when he saw Jeremyâs worried face. âJeremy, I know youâre worried about your wife now, so leave Ryan to us. Go and find your wife.â
Jeremy did not delay. After thanking him, he ran back to Adam.
âAdam, whereâs Linnie? Where did you put her?â
Adam seemingly furrowed his eyebrows and said in a calm tone, âAre you confident that you can catch Ryan?â
âI canât let Linnie live another day in distress,â Jeremy said firmly, âAdam, take me to Linnie.â
Adam did not say anything and only nodded.
On the way there, Adam observed Jeremyâs eagerness and worry. Although he did not want to scare Jeremy very much, Adam still reminded him. âI think youâd better prepare yourself before you see Eveline.â
Jeremyâs restless heart suddenly missed a beat. âWhy did you say that? Adam, did something happen to her? Tell me, is something wrong with Linnie?â
Seeing that Jeremy was so anxious that he could not even drive the car properly, Adam tried to calm him down. âSheâs not in any life-threatening danger, butâ¦â
Adam wanted to tell him, but he stopped himself as he was worried that Jeremy would continue to overthink. As such, he pointed in front of them. âYou can stop now. Sheâs in the car at the corner in front.â
In the car?
Jeremy suddenly stepped on the accelerator to speed up, and when he drove the car to the location pointed out by Adam, he quickly stepped on the brake.
After parking the car hastily, Jeremy strode to the side of the car with the half-opened window.
The moment Adam unlocked the car, Jeremy immediately opened the car door.
Jeremy felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw Madeline, who was wearing a plain white dress, lying on the backseat.
He bent down and got into the car, placing his handsome face in front of Madeline. âLinnie,â Jeremy whispered, raising his hand to stroke Madelineâs colorless cheeks. However, Madeline did not respond.
She seemed to be deep in slumber. Then, Jeremyâs palm lightly fell on Madelineâs head. When his fingertips ran across her short hair, he felt tears stinging the corners of his eyes involuntarily.
Seeing the bandage on her left wrist, he took Madelineâs hand before putting it to his lips. He left a long kiss on it.
âJeremy, Iâll wait for youâ¦â
He suddenly heard Madeline talking inaudibly in her sleep.
Jeremy could not hold back the tears in his eyes. It felt as if his heart was being tightened inch by inch and he was being suffocated.
âSorry, Iâm late, Linnie.â
âItâs not too late.â Adamâs voice sounded beside the car.
