Chapter 1389
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
After Sean mentioned this, a trace of gladness flashed across Jeremyâs heavy eyes.
The important memories that he had lost because of the special cigarette Lana made for him at that time were very clear in his mind at this time.
âI didnât set the fire at that time.â
Jeremy finally had the opportunity to tell the truth. Sean and Madeline looked back at him at the same time.
Sean frowned. âYou told me this before. Although you lost your memory and were used by Lana at that time, the fireââ
âLana asked someone to set the fire in advance. Then, she called me to come here as a scapegoat.
Her purpose was to make Eveline think that I set the fire so that the relationship between the two of us would break apart.â
Jeremyâs answer shocked Sean and Madeline.
Of course, they did not question what Jeremy was saying currently because Lana was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
âJeremy, why did you never tell me about this?â Madeline looked at the man while feeling pity for him.
Suddenly, she felt extremely guilty.
He had been burdened with such grievances and even lost her and their marriage because of this, yet he never once defended himself.
âBack then, I smoked too many of the special cigarettes that Lana gave me so I was too confused. I didnât even know what I had done. I really thought that I was the one who set the fire and you came so coincidentally after I got here.â
After hearing what Jeremy said, Madeline recalled the situation at the time.
When she saw the raging fire in front of her back then, she instantly lost all of her sanity.
She did not even think that it would be one of Lanaâs traps that was done with a hidden agenda.
She only thought that Lana took advantage of Jeremyâs memory loss and asked him to set the fire.
However, as it turned out, this was not the case.
âIt wasnât until a while ago that I took a plane to Y Country. There was some turbulence and I knocked my head because I couldnât stand still. That was when I remembered everything.â
Jeremy took a step toward the ruins in front of him with loneliness and regret in his eyes.
âIn fact, I knew about this before Lana sent someone to set the fire. As such, I notified someone and that person was Ryan.â
âRyan?â
Madeline and Sean were shocked again, but because of this, everything became clear.
No wonder Ryan had become Sean and Eloiseâs savior. It turned out that something like happened in between all of these.
âLana wanted to kill Mom and Dad because you were investigating the affairs of the Stygian Johnsons.
She wanted to kill them so that word of this wouldnât get out,â Jeremy told them the reason behind Lanaâs ruthlessness.
Sean knew about this reason from a long time ago.
Come to think of it, Lana was so cruel and cold-blooded that it was almost perverted.
âThe two burnt corpses back then were only props. I could tell that those were not human in the hospital, but I wasnât sure what happened during the process, so I didnât say anything.â
Jeremy told them the reason he kept his silence.
His passionate gaze landed on Madelineâs concerned and melancholic face. Then, he smiled gently.
âLinnie, Iâm so sorry for making you so upset back then.â Jeremy lifted his hand and caressed Madelineâs cheek. âI know you mustâve been so heartbroken back then. You couldnât accept the fact that the man you loved killed your beloved parents, so you had no choice but to break things off with me.â
âItâs all my fault. I shouldnât have been so arbitrary when making that decision back then.â Madeline blamed herself.
âYou werenât. I wouldâve done that as well if I were you.â When Jeremy looked at Madeline, his eyes were filled with intense passion and tolerance.
He felt that he owed Madeline a lot during this time.
He would use his whole life to make this up to her.
âAh! I found it! I found it!â
Suddenly, Eloiseâs exclaims sounded from not far away.
Madeline and Jeremy looked over to see that Eloise had wandered into the ruins unbeknownst to them.
