Chapter 1375
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âHello, who is this? The womanâs pristine and sweet voice glided into Madelineâs ears.
Madeline held the phone dumbfoundedly. She could not believe what she just heard.
This voice was so familiar. It left quite an impression in the deepest part of her memory.
âCathy?â Madeline asked probingly.
âWho?â the woman asked in confusion. It was as if she did not know the name âCathyâ.
Madeline was also taken aback. When she was about to ask again, it sounded like the phone was handed to someone else. Then, she heard Adamâs voice. âJeremy? Can I help you?â
When Madeline heard Adamâs voice, she hurriedly told him about Jeremyâs situation. âAdam, the slow-
acting poison in my husbandâs body is acting up again. You must have a way to save him! Iâll send the address to you now. Please come over as soon as possible.â
âGot it. Iâll come over right now.â Adam agreed quickly.
Madeline thought she sounded courteous enough. When she thought about Adam ganging up with Ryan back then, she only felt anger in her heart.
After she hung up, Madeline held the man who had broken into a cold sweat. Her heart was in so much pain that it felt suffocating.
It was as if she could feel the pain that Jeremy was enduring right now.
âJeremy, Adam will be here soon. Hold on.â She held him as she comforted him. Tears escaped her eyes uncontrollably. âWhen can you finally recover? I donât want to see you in so much pain.â
Jeremy knew Madeline was feeling pity for him, but he was already used to this kind of torture.
Plus, he knew that with Adam around, he had a huge chance of recovering.
âLinnie, donât be scared.â Jeremy gasped and comforted her while enduring the debilitating pain. âI promised that Iâll stay with you and the kids as we go through all four seasons. Iâll definitely fulfill my promise this time.â
He lifted his hand to wipe away the tears in the corner of Madelineâs eyes. Then, he curled his lips into a smile.
âDonât cry, okay?â
Madeline held in her tears as she nodded. However, despite the manâs comforting words, tears still rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
âJeremyâ¦â
More than ten minutes later, Adam arrived.
He looked stern and imposing. He did not bring anything aside from the reagent.
After quickly injecting the contents into Jeremy, he started to slowly recover.
Madeline stopped feeling anxious. However, she was still worried. âAdam, how long will it take before Jeremy can fully recover? This time, donât lie to me.â
Adam knew Madeline was not sure about him interacting with Jeremy. As such, he understood why Madeline was being hostile toward him. However, he remained calm.
âIt should take around five more treatments before he can fully recover. If the period between his outbursts becomes longer and longer, it means that heâs starting to get better.â
âThanks.â Jeremy thanked him, and at this moment, he felt much better.
âJeremy, are you feeling better?â Madeline asked in concern. She was worried that he was just forcing himself to endure this.
Jeremy lifted his hand to stroke Madelineâs hair. Then, he smiled softly. âDonât worry, Iâm fine. I think as long as Adam is around, Iâll get better much quicker.â
Madeline was surprised at the trust Jeremy had for Adam. When she was about to ask, she heard Jeremy explaining.
âLinnie, you were always in a daze back then so I didnât tell you some things. However, I want to tell you now that Adam and Ryan werenât working together.â
âJeremy, are you telling the truth?â Madeline was surprised when she looked at Adam who was standing at one side.
There were countless scenes of Adam helping Ryan torture her in her head. However, were they all not real?
