Chapter 1772
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âIâll go alone. You should stay in Glendale.â
âYou want to go to F Country alone?â Jeremy was surprised. âWhy?â
Madeline looked in the direction where Carter had left. âDo you seriously think he deliberately came just to give us the invitation and then inform us about Lily?â
âOf course, I donât believe him, but we canât afford t o overlook any information.â
âAll the more reason you should stay here then.â Madeline had a firm look in her eyes.â It seemed like he wanted to send us away. He might be up to something in Glendale.â
âEven so, it wouldnât be as important as Lily.â
â I know. I know youâre worried about Lily, but you have to listen to me this time, Jeremy,â Madeline insisted still. âIâll go to F Country and find Lily. If Lily truly is with Fabian, Iâll try to convince Fabian.â
âDo you think Fabian can still be rational?â
Jeremy was worried, and he also remembered Carterâs words just now.
âCarter has looked into our past in detail, and he also seemed to know about the matter with Yorick and Lana very well. He was implying that I had something to do with Yorick and Lanaâs death.
Based on this, I think that Fabian would think so too. That is why, Linnie, I canât let you go find Fabian alone.â
âI wonât be alone.â
Madeline touched the purple crystal necklace on her chest.
It was the DIY present that Lillian and Jackson had made for her.
âI have Lily.â Madeline smiled.
She firmly believed that she would be able to see her little princess by going to F Country.
Jeremy knew he would not be able to change Madelineâs mind no matter what he said.
He spoke no more of this. Additionally, he even drove Madeline to the airport himself.
Jeremy handed Madeline the anti-toxoid test reagent he had gotten from Carter. They had thought that the poisonâs fourth stage would have flared up by now, but it had been a month since the last flare-up, and nothing had yet to happen.
âLinnie, Iâm very concerned that youâll get a flare-up after going to F Country.â
Worried, Jeremy grabbed Madelineâs hand and pleaded humbly.
âLet me go with you, okay?â
Madeline then smiled and tiptoed to kiss Jeremy on the corner of his lips.
âOkay, Iâm heading through the security check now. You should quickly head back now. You must take good care of Jack and Pudding. Donât let anything happen to the two of them.â
Madelineâs urging caused Jeremy to feel a heavier weight on his shoulders.
Yes, he had to stay to take good care of his precious sons.
âCall me if thereâs anything. We must be in touch at all times.â
âYes, I will, â Madeline promised as she nodded obediently, then turned to leave.
However, just as she turned around, Jeremy suddenly held the back of her neck gently and pressed Madeline toward him, then pressed a deep kiss on her lips when she had least expected it.
âGo on now.â
This happened and ended too fast. Madeline was momentarily dazed before returning to her senses.
âIâll bring Lily home. Wait for me.â âOkay.â
Jeremy smiled and watched as Madeline went through the security check. Once she had disappeared from his sight, he turned around, frowning.
He truly was still worried, but he did not have a choice.
He went back to his car, and when he was about to drive away, he glimpsed, out of the corner of his eye, the wedding invitation that he had thrown into the car not long ago.
Carter was about to get married, but who was his new bride?
