Chapter 2084
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jeremy noticed this, and from Carterâs haggard and pale face, Jeremy also figured that Carter was probably injured.
However, Jeremy did not know how he got injured.
Regardless, when Carter had spoken, Jeremy started to think something was amiss.
Somehow, Jeremy suddenly remembered the words he and Madeline had discussed.
He still remembered what Madeline had said at the time. âJeremy, I think Carter mightâve had something to do with Ryanâs death.â
Jeremy thought silently, but he did not show the suspicion and confusion in his heart on his face.
When Carter saw that Jeremy was silent, the smug smile on his face grew bigger.
âAre you confused? Do you think itâs strange?â Carter asked with a smile. He then continued, â Jeremy, I can also tell you that I provoked your relationship with Fabian and made him mistakenly think that you guys caused the death of his brother and sister. So, thatâs why he suddenly hated you and Eveline.
âI thought Fabian could vent my anger for me, but I didnât expect that the kid would actually spoil your daughter like a little princess even though he said he resented you two. How interesting.â
Carter said this meaningfully. He then glanced at Jeremyâs legs again.
âHow is it? Itâs winter, so your legs must be freezing and numb in the pool, arenât they? Soon, you might lose all feeling in them. Then, the lights in your world will go off. Uh-huh. If thatâs the case, then I âll tell you one more thing you have not expectedâ¦â
âJeremy! â
Suddenly, Madelineâs voice came from outside the prison.
Originally, Jeremy and Carter could not hear Madeline because the door of the underground prison was very soundproof, but at this moment, the iron door was open, so they could hear Madeline very clearly as she called out from the above ground.
Jeremyâs heart was beating faster, and a word escaped naturally from his thin lips. âLinnie.â
Carter frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied. He did not understand how Madeline could come here at this time.
To prevent Jeremy from calling out to her, Carter hurriedly turned around.
This huge movement affected the wound on his leg and shoulder. The tearing pain made him inhale sharply.
Jeremy noticed the change in Carterâs expression and guessed that Carterâs injury might not be minor. âJeremy, are you here? Can you hear me?
Jeremy! â
Madeline called out again. Carter could not care about his injury at this time. He endured the pain and walked to the door to pull the iron door shut.
As the door closed, Carter heard Jeremy yell out, â
Linnie!
He was fortunate because if he was a second later, Madeline might not hear him.
Madeline felt restless when she read Jeremyâs memo.
As she recalled how Carter had appeared that time, she still felt that Jeremy should be around here somewhere.
Since Jeremy had come to see Carter and since Carter had been here at that time, then Jeremy should not be far from here.
As Madeline searched, she called out to Jeremy. Although she had searched this place before, this time, she was even more careful in her search.
After looking around, she suddenly stopped and called Fabian hurriedly.
Fabian was very worried after Madeline ran out. When he received a call from Madeline, he heard Madeline ask him hurriedly before he could say anything, âFabian, do you know if thereâs any secret hiding place or a basement in the Stygian Johnson Gangâs place?â
