Chapter 1382
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
When she saw that man, she would be reminded of how cruel he treated her back then.
âLinnie, letâs go home.â
Madeline grabbed Jeremyâs arm. âOkay.â
However, when they were about to turn around, Mrs. Jones grabbed her hand all of a sudden.
âMrs. Whitman!â
Mrs. Jones grabbed Madeline frantically, her eyes filled with pleading and a rare look of apology.
âMrs. Whitman, please. Please go in to see Rye!â
Madeline could understand how Mrs. Jones was feeling right now, but she truly did not want to see Ryan.
âMrs. Whitman, I know I said a lot of horrible things to you back then. On behalf of our past relationship as mother and daughter-in-law, I hope you can forgive me for being rude and impetuous.
âRye was wrong. He shouldnât have hurt you that way. Whatever punishment he may face later will be his karma. However, Mrs. Whitman, Iâm begging you now. Can you please preserve Ryeâs life for the time being?â
Mrs. Jones was bawling and holding onto Madelineâs hand while refusing to let go. âMrs. Whitman, youâre a kind person. Youâve saved him once, so please save him again. Iâm sincerely begging you from the bottom of my heart!â
Mrs. Jones begged repeatedly. Her attitude right now was completely different from before. It was evident she was being extremely sincere.
âMrs. Whitman, please. Can you go in and see Rye, please?â
âMrs. Whitman, Iâm begging you as well. Please give my son the hope to keep living.â Mr. Jones also walked over to beg her.
Madeline was moved. However, she suddenly remembered something. She should end this with Ryan.
She looked at Jeremy. When she was about to say something, the man smiled knowingly.
âGo.â Jeremy let go of Madelineâs hand gently. His deep eyes were filled with encouragement. âIâll always support you no matter what you do.â
Madeline smiled softly. She did not say anything more before going into the room.
Ryan was lying in bed when his dull eyes suddenly reflected Madelineâs figure. Then, a flash of light appeared in his eyes.
The excitement in his heart was displayed clearly in his eyes. However, he was still in control of himself. âEveline, youâre here.â
Ryan looked at Madeline who was walking slowly toward him. She said flatly, âYeah, Iâm here,â
Madeline said calmly.
Ryan was shocked when he saw Madelineâs calm composure. Then, he was even more surprised when he saw Madelineâs wide and brilliant eyes.
âEveline, youâ¦â
âWhen I saw you collapsing in front of me after getting shot, I was greatly triggered. It seemed that it awakened my thoughts and memories,â Madeline explained slowly, âIâm back to normal now.â
Ryan let out a sigh of relief when he heard her answer.
His overly pale face was adorned with a smile. The guilt in his heart was finally lessened.
However, when he recalled what he did to Madeline, he still could not bear to think about it.
âI heard what you said to me that day,â Ryan said weakly and without strength. He then looked straight at Madeline. âYouâre the one who pulled me back from death, and I remember that you have something to say to me. You said youâll tell me after Iâm awake. What is it?â
Ryan took a deep breath and asked again, âEveline, what do you want to tell me?â
